A fitted windshield is $250 to $450 for most vehicles, about an hour in the bay plus the adhesive's safe drive-away time. From Southwest Philadelphia the run in is 15 to 20 minutes depending on the crossing - the Platt Bridge and Penrose Avenue from Elmwood and Eastwick, the Passyunk Avenue bridge or Grays Ferry Avenue from Kingsessing and Paschall.

Southwest Philadelphia is the longest journey anyone makes to this shop, and that changes what matters most. From this side of the Schuylkill you are giving up half a morning, so the thing that ruins the day is not the price, it is arriving to find the glass is not here. Stock gets checked while you are on the phone and the pane is confirmed as physically on the shelf before you set off - not that it can be ordered, that it is here. If it does have to come in, you get the day it lands and you make one trip instead of two.
The damage out here has a local signature. The trolley rails along Woodland, Chester and Elmwood, and the patched strips of road either side of them, put a constant low shake through a car, while the freight running on Essington and Penrose throws stone off tippers and container haulage. Between them, a small break does not stay small for long. In the bay the job itself is about an hour - old screen out, frame cleaned and primed, new mouldings and fresh urethane, then a stated safe drive-away time - and the price quoted on the phone is the price at the end of it, backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.
“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.”

The crossing is worth thinking about before you drive a badly cracked screen anywhere. The Platt Bridge takes you up over the river on a steel deck with a joint at each end, and that combination of climb, wind and expansion joints is the worst stretch of road in this part of the city for a windshield that has already split. If the crack runs across your sightline, take Passyunk Avenue or Grays Ferry Avenue and stay on surface streets instead, or let the van come to you. The return leg is the easy direction: by then the glass is new, and the only thing to respect is the drive-away time you were given before leaving the shop.

Because it is checked before you leave. Give us the year, make, model and ideally the VIN, and you will be told whether the exact pane is on the shelf here, has to come from elsewhere, or needs ordering. If it is being ordered you get the day it arrives and you travel once. That matters more from Southwest Philadelphia than from anywhere else we serve.
Often, yes - Southwest Philadelphia is covered by the van and the work is identical to the bay. Where the shop wins is bad weather, since urethane needs dry conditions, and unusual vehicles, where having the full run of trim and mouldings to hand saves a second visit. Ask when you call and you will get a recommendation based on your car and the forecast.
