Expect $200 to $500 for the glass, with most cars finishing between $250 and $450, and 60 to 90 minutes in the bay plus safe drive-away time. We are eight to ten minutes west of Fordham Plaza. The quote comes before the work, and calibration is priced in it rather than added later.

A windshield earns replacement rather than repair once the damage is long, deep, or sitting where you look through it. At that point the panel is no longer doing its share of holding the roof up or backing the passenger airbag, and no amount of resin changes that. We will tell you which side of the line your glass is on before you commit to anything. What we fit is matched to the vehicle it came out of, down to the tint band across the top, the acoustic layer if the car had one, and the bracket the camera clips into.
On the day, the old panel comes out, the frame is cleaned back and primed, and the new glass is bedded in fresh urethane and left to take. You get a definite safe drive-away time rather than a guess, which matters because the adhesive is the only thing holding a structural component in place until it cures. Sixty to ninety minutes covers the fitting. Comprehensive glass coverage is billed direct if you have it, and plenty of drivers pay a deductible or nothing at all. Before the keys go back, the dash, the vents and the cowl get vacuumed clean of glass dust.
“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.”

A fair share of the windshields we replace for this neighborhood are not on family cars at all. The businesses along the strip and around the Arthur Avenue market run vans and small box trucks, and those take a beating: tall flat glass, long hours in the curb lane, and a driver who cannot afford the vehicle to sit for two days. We price commercial glass the same way as anything else, one number on the phone, and we schedule around the delivery day rather than against it. Come at seven in the morning before the deliveries start or late in the evening once the shutters are down, and the cure time runs while the van was parked anyway. For anyone driving a car instead, the same logic works around the retail rush on Fordham Road, which is worth avoiding in both directions.
Same service, same price, other Bronx neighborhoods:
It is quoted at the same time, so you hear the whole figure at once, though it is a separate line: the glass at $200 to $500 and the calibration at $150 to $300 above it. Both are settled on the first call. What we will not do is quote you a cheap windshield and then present the calibration as a surprise once the car is already stripped down.
Yes, and given how close Fordham is, most people do. The fitting takes 60 to 90 minutes and there is the cure on top, which you can spend here or, if the safe drive-away time allows it, back at work. We will tell you the exact number of minutes when the glass is in rather than leaving you to guess at it.
