- Always being there: Glass damage can happen at any hour. Safelite is always available with 24/7 live representatives, as well as web and mobile app scheduling.
- Knowing who to expect: Customers who schedule Safelite mobile service receive peace of mind with the Technician Profile Email, including the technician's name, photo and credentials before he or she arrives.
