A broken door or rear window costs $200 to $450 and is usually done in under an hour, often while you wait. It is the fastest job in the shop. Come from Parkchester any day of the week, early or late, and drive home with real glass instead of taped plastic and a vacuumed interior.

A smashed side window is a different kind of emergency from a cracked windshield. The car is not unsafe to drive, it is simply open, and open means weather, means anything left inside is a suggestion, means the tape over the frame buzzing at forty miles an hour. That is why this is the job we turn around fastest. We clear the channel and the door cavity, drop the correct tempered pane in, check that the regulator raises and lowers it cleanly, and vacuum the seat, the rails and the carpet.
The part that is easy to underestimate is where the fragments land. Tempered glass breaks into cubes that fall straight down inside the door skin and sit on the regulator mechanism, and any that stay there will rattle for the life of the car and can chew at the new pane. So we empty the door, not just the cabin. Between $200 and $450 covers most door and rear windows, we bill comprehensive coverage directly if you want the claim filed, and you get the number before we begin. Most people who come in with a taped window are gone again inside the hour.
“In 7:30am with broken window, out with new window and vacuumed car at 8:01am. Great price so gave a good tip ahead of time. Good work. 2 thumbs up.”

Break-ins around Parkchester follow the parking. Cars in the open lots and on the streets past White Plains Road take the hits, and it is almost always a rear door window, because that is the pane furthest from a streetlight and easiest to reach through. If it happened to you overnight, the sequence that costs you least is straightforward: clear the loose glass off the seat, tape a bag over the opening well enough to survive the drive, and come straight over rather than waiting for a day off. Leaving it taped for a week is what turns one bad night into a soaked interior and a mildewed carpet. We are open on the mornings and weekends this tends to be discovered, and a door window is quick enough that you will not have to give up your parking slot for the day.

Yes, and sooner is better. There is no appointment needed for a door window on a common vehicle, and we would rather you arrive with it taped than leave the car sitting open in a lot. Call from the road with the year, make and model so the pane is pulled by the time you park. Most people are back on the way home within the hour.
We do, and it matters more than the part you can see. Cubes drop into the bottom of the door skin and settle on the window regulator, where they rattle at every bump and can score the new glass as it travels. Clearing the cavity is part of the job, along with vacuuming the seat rails and the carpet under the pedals where a surprising amount ends up.
