Everything that is not the windshield falls in a $200 to $500 fitted range for most vehicles: door glass, quarter lights, vent windows, sunroof panels and back glass. The pane is identified from your VIN and confirmed in stock before you drive the twelve minutes over, because tint, a heating element or an aerial in the glass can separate two cars that look identical.

What makes a missing pane worse in Pennsport than in the middle of the city is the weather off the water. There is nothing between the Delaware and the streets running down to Columbus Boulevard, so wind drives rain sideways into an opening that would stay dry two miles inland. A car left overnight with plastic taped over a window here does not just get damp - it gets soaked through the seat foam and the carpet underlay, and that is a longer and more expensive problem than the glass ever was.
The work covers every opening on the vehicle. Door glass and quarter lights are the most common, back glass with a defroster grid and a printed aerial the most particular, and sunroof and moonroof panels the ones owners assume have to go to a dealer. All of it is tempered rather than laminated, so it shatters into cubes instead of cracking, and the cubes come out of the door cavity as well as the cabin before the car goes back to you. Common panes are on the shelf for same-day fitting. Anything unusual is sourced and you are given the day it lands rather than a hopeful estimate, because a second wasted trip is worse than a day's wait.
“Clearly a community place. Really nice and responsive. Fixed my windshield by far for the cheapest price. The initial install was bad and I had leaking... so I went back again and they installed another new windshield! Very glad they remedied the mistake and saved me some money.”

Where the car waits while a pane is on order is the whole question in Pennsport, and the answer depends which half of the neighbourhood you are in. The newer townhouse blocks toward the river mostly have a garage or a bay underneath, and a vehicle can sit indoors quite happily for a day. On the older rows around Dickinson Square and along Reed, Tasker and Morris there is nothing but the street, and the street here is wet and windy. If that is you, either leave the vehicle with us until the glass arrives, or tape heavy plastic to the inside of the frame behind the rubber seal - anything fixed to the outside of the door will be gone with the first gust off the river.
Same service, same price, other South Philadelphia neighborhoods:
Heavy plastic taped to the inside of the door frame, tucked behind the rubber seal, rather than draped across the outside. Outside tape lifts in wind and pulls paint when it comes off. On a street exposed to the river, add a second layer and check it before bed - the difference between a dry car and a soaked interior is usually one corner that let go at three in the morning.
Yes, in the same $200 to $500 range as other non-windshield glass for most vehicles, with the panel type moving the figure more than anything else. The important part is not the panel, it is the drains - fragments in a drain channel turn up as water in the headliner a season later, so those get cleared while the opening is exposed.
