A windshield takes 60 to 90 minutes in the bay, plus safe drive-away time before you head back up the hill. Price runs $200 to $500, with most cars landing between $250 and $450 installed. ADAS and luxury glass sit higher. Kingsbridge is about twelve minutes out, and we quote the whole number on the phone.

Tell us the year, make and model and whether the car has rain sensing, a camera behind the mirror or heated wiper park. That is enough to price it and to know whether the glass is on our shelf or coming in the same day. Common Bronx cars we stock; anything odder gets ordered in the morning and is usually in by afternoon. When you arrive we pull the wipers and cowl, cut the old urethane, set the new glass and lay a fresh bead. The bay work is an hour to an hour and a half.
After that comes drive-away time, which is the urethane setting up enough to hold the glass in a crash. We tell you the exact minutes for the adhesive we used, and it matters more than usual here because your first move is often a climb up 231st Street or a run onto the Deegan. The workmanship warranty is for the life of the install, so a wind whistle that only shows up on the Henry Hudson is our problem, not yours. Insurance gets billed direct if you are using it, and the glass and dash get vacuumed before the keys come back.
“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.”

There is a Kingsbridge version of the windshield problem that other neighborhoods do not really have. Cars here spend the week parked on grades, and a chip that would sit still on flat ground creeps as the body flexes on the slope. Add the cold coming off the Harlem River and a Monday crack can be halfway across the glass by Thursday. The other factor is the elevated structure on Broadway: fine grit and rust off the steel sandblasts the glass over the years, and a windshield that has been sanded like that will haze under oncoming headlights even after a good wash. If you have caught yourself squinting on the Broadway Bridge at night, that is the glass talking, and replacing it is a bigger fix than any wiper blade.
Same service, same price, other Bronx neighborhoods:
Yes. Plenty of Kingsbridge customers drop the car in the morning, take the 1 train down from 231st Street, and collect it in the evening. The glass will be long cured by then. Tell us at drop-off and we will hold it inside rather than putting it back on the avenue. There is no storage charge for the same day.
No. The number you get on the phone is the number on the invoice. We ask enough up front about the year, model and features that there is nothing left to discover in the bay. If you called around Kingsbridge before finding us, compare the quotes line for line and you will see nothing has been left off ours.
The adhesive needs its safe drive-away time, and we hand you the exact figure when the job is written up. It is usually under an hour of sitting. After that a climb west of Broadway is fine, and so is the Henry Hudson. What we ask is that you leave a window cracked for a day and skip the pressure washer for a couple of days.
