A smashed side or rear window is $200 to $500 fitted with the shard cleanup included, and common panes are done the same day. From Southwest Philadelphia you can make the 15 to 20 minute run in over the Platt Bridge or Passyunk Avenue, or have the van come to your driveway - the price is quoted on the same range either way.

The Southwest Philadelphia version of this call comes in at twenty past seven. The car is in front of the house or on the driveway, somebody found the window out on the way to work, and there is a river crossing and a commute between them and where they are supposed to be. Driving a car with a missing side window over the Platt Bridge in February is genuinely miserable - wind straight through the cabin, cubes shifting around the footwell, and everything on the back seat trying to leave.
The answer is either a same-day slot in the bay or a visit from the van, and both are the same work. Most of that work is not the glass. Tempered panes shatter into thousands of blunt cubes, so the fit takes minutes and the clean takes the rest: door cavity, seat rails, carpet pile, seat belt reel and window channel, with the door card off rather than a torch shone through the opening. Fragments left in a track are what wear out a regulator six months later. Back glass sits at the top of the range for good reasons: there is more of it, it is bonded in rather than dropped into a channel, and the heated version has to be specified rather than assumed.
“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.”

Whether to drive it in or have the van come out is a real decision here rather than a formality, because the journey is long enough to matter. If the car is heading this way anyway and the weather is decent, the run in is fine - cover the opening properly, put a towel over the seat, and take the surface route rather than the bridge if it is blowing. If it is raining, or the vehicle is needed on the driveway all day, the van is the better answer, and Southwest Philadelphia is the easiest part of the patch to work in because most houses here have off-street space and a flat place for a van to stand. Say which you want when you call and you will get a time either way.

Frequently not. A door or quarter pane at $200 to $500 fitted often sits at or below a comprehensive deductible, and paying directly leaves no claim behind. Back glass costs more and can be worth claiming. You will have the exact figure before deciding, so the comparison is a real one rather than a guess.
Often, if the pane is a common one and you call early. Every mobile slot has to start and finish while the shop is open, and the drive out here has to fit inside that too, so a call at nine has far more chance than a call at three. Saturday cut-off is earlier than a weekday because we close at 4:00, and Sunday is out.
