A Soundview windshield takes 60 to 90 minutes in the bay plus safe drive-away time, and runs $200 to $500, with most cars landing between $250 and $450 installed. ADAS and luxury glass sit higher. Call with the details and we quote it once. Same number when you pick the car up on Jerome Avenue.

Most of the windshields we pull off Soundview cars have the same story behind them. Something came off a truck on Bruckner Boulevard, left a star break the size of a dime, and it sat there through a cold snap until it ran. Once a crack reaches the edge of the glass the panel is done, and no resin will hold it. We stock the common sizes for the cars that fill the curbs off Story Avenue, and anything not on the shelf gets pulled in the same day.
Here is what actually happens in the bay. We cut the old bead, clean the pinchweld back to bare metal where the salt air has been working, set the new glass on fresh urethane, and give you a drive-away time in plain minutes rather than a vague wait. The car gets vacuumed before the keys come back, dash and seats and door pockets. One driver rang seven other places about a 2008 CR-V before he called here, and the reason he came back was that our number did not move. The workmanship warranty runs as long as you own the car, so a leak or a wind whistle two winters out is still ours to fix.
“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.”

Soundview keeps more cars in the open than most places, and that changes the job. A vehicle that lives on the street off Rosedale Avenue takes salt spray all winter, and by the third or fourth year the metal under the glass edge is pitted. We spend the extra ten minutes cleaning and priming that channel rather than bonding new urethane onto rust, because that is exactly where leaks begin. The other wrinkle is the ferry crowd. People who leave a car near the Clason Point landing all day come back to a windshield that has been baking or freezing since morning, and a chip that looked stable at seven is a crack by six. If yours has moved, call before you drive it back up the Bruckner.

That works fine. Drop it at Jerome Avenue, walk up to the 4 train at the corner, and ride back down. Most windshields are done inside 90 minutes plus cure time, so plenty of people simply wait instead. If you would rather not make the trip at all, the van can do the replacement outside your building, weather allowing.
No. The quote depends on the car and the glass, not on where you park it. There is no trip fee for mobile work inside the coverage area, and Soundview is inside it. The range for a windshield is $200 to $500, with most installs falling between $250 and $450. Cars with a camera behind the mirror need calibration on top, and we say so on the phone rather than at pickup.
You get a safe drive-away time with the keys, and it depends on the urethane and the weather that day. In warm months it is short. In a Soundview January, with wind coming off the water, it takes longer, and we would rather you sit in the waiting room than take the expressway too early. Highway speed puts real pressure on a fresh bond.
