$200 to $500 fitted covers a smashed side or rear window on most vehicles, cleanup included, and common panes go in the same day. From anywhere in Newbold the shop is about five minutes west on Snyder Avenue. Give us the vehicle and the opening over the phone and you will know that pane is on the shelf before you give up your parking space.

Parking bumper to bumper is what makes these blocks work, and it is also what makes them easy to work over. A car wedged between two others gives whoever is at the window cover on both sides, and one pane going is not much of a noise on a street where doors slam all evening. Most Newbold calls arrive first thing in the morning from somebody who walked round the corner to a car left three streets from their own door and found the passenger window in cubes across the seat.
Tempered glass does not crack, it disintegrates - thousands of blunt cubes that go down inside the door skin, into the carpet, under the seat rails, into the seat belt reel and along the window channel. Fitting the new pane is quick. Getting the fragments out is what decides whether you have a solved problem or a window regulator failure in six months, so the door card comes off and the cavity is vacuumed, not just the interior. Back glass takes longer again, because the cubes reach the parcel shelf, the boot and the seat backs, and because a heated pane cannot quietly be swapped for a plain one without losing the demister you paid for.
“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.”

Speed matters more in Newbold than almost anywhere else we cover, for two reasons that have nothing to do with glass. The first is street cleaning: a car you cannot bring yourself to move becomes a ticket on the wrong morning, and an open window is not an excuse the city accepts. The second is that your neighbours will tell you the same thing we will - a car sitting open on a tight street tends to get a second visit. With the shop five minutes away and common panes on the shelf, the realistic plan is to call at half eight, drive it down, and have it back with the interior vacuumed by mid-morning. Give the pavement a brush too; the cubes we take out of the car are only half of them.
Same service, same price, other South Philadelphia neighborhoods:
We clear the vehicle completely - cabin, carpet, seat rails, the door cavity and the window channel. What is on the street or the pavement is yours or the city's, and on a tight Newbold block it is worth sweeping quickly, because otherwise it ends up in the tyres of every car that parks there next.
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on the street. The van needs a legal place to stand beside the vehicle with room to open the doors, and plenty of the cartways around here do not offer one. Tell us the block when you call and you will get a straight answer - if kerbside is not realistic, the five-minute run to the bay is faster than waiting for a space to appear.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
