Yes. Castle Hill runs about twenty minutes from 1589 Macombs Road by way of the Cross Bronx and the Bruckner. Windshields, door and quarter glass, back windows, seven days a week from six in the morning, most finished the same day, or we come out to where the car is parked.

Castle Hill splits neatly in two for our purposes. Up along the avenue and the Bruckner there are towers with surface lots and a lot of cars that live outdoors year-round. Down toward Pugsley Creek and the point it turns residential and low-rise, with driveways and quieter streets. Which half you are in usually decides whether it makes more sense to drive over or have the van come to you, and neither choice changes the price.
What stays constant is the standard of the install. Glass is matched to the vehicle before anything is ordered, trim comes off in one piece and clips back the way it left the factory, and urethane gets its full cure before the car moves. On tempered side and rear glass, the real work is the cleanup, which means opening the door and clearing the cavity rather than running a vacuum over the seat. Cubes left in a door track come back as a rattle, and eventually as a window that will not travel smoothly.
Castle Hill Avenue is the main street, running from the Bruckner down toward the water, with Zerega Avenue and Havemeyer Avenue on the west side and Ellis and Lacombe Avenues crossing on the way to Castle Hill Point. Westchester Avenue caps the north end and the 6 train serves both Castle Hill Avenue and Zerega Avenue. Around Zerega there is a working pocket of garages and small industrial buildings; south of it the blocks turn into houses with front yards and driveways. Pugsley Creek Park cuts a green wedge through toward the East River. Traffic is steady rather than gridlocked, and the Bruckner is close enough that most people are on it within a few minutes of leaving home. Parking varies block by block: a marked space in a lot on one street, a driveway two streets over, and metered curb space along the commercial stretch.
“At first I was skeptical because it was hard to get a price over the phone but I was then assured once I stop by they’ll take care of me and as far as pricing they beat their competitor’s prices. And all of this was 100% true GREAT PRICE…”
Two roads supply most of the glass damage here. The Bruckner Expressway carries fast traffic and heavy trucks, and stone off a tire at that speed makes a proper star rather than a scratch. Local pavement near the Zerega side is chewed up by the same trucks going to and from the yards, so the flex from a bad patch is what usually finishes a chip. Weather does the rest: cars parked in the open lots along the avenue frost hard on winter mornings, and clearing them with hot air is the single most reliable way to turn a repairable chip into a full replacement. Door and rear glass here mostly break overnight on cars left outdoors, and the owner finds out on the way to the car rather than while it is happening.
Coming from Castle Hill, get on the Bruckner heading north and take the Cross Bronx west across the borough. Exit at Jerome Avenue or University Avenue and Macombs Road is right there, the shop at 1589 with the lot in front. Twenty minutes covers it outside rush hour, less early in the morning. If the car has a window missing or a windshield you would rather not take onto the expressway, we will come the other way: give us the address, the space in the lot or the driveway, and the tech arrives with the correct glass already loaded and does the whole job on site.

Yes. Open surface lots are straightforward for us as long as there is space to work beside the car and the lot is accessible. Tell us where it is parked and what it looks like, and let building management know if there is a gate or an attendant. Once we are there, a standard side window takes an hour or two including the shard cleanup.
For most vehicles, tempered side or rear glass runs between two hundred and four hundred and fifty dollars with the cleanup included. Exact price depends on the vehicle and which pane went, since a heated rear window with a defroster grid is a different job than a plain front door glass. We would rather see the car for two minutes than guess over the phone.
Often, yes. Common glass for popular models is either on the shelf or available same day from the region. Older, rarer or less common vehicles can take an extra day to source, and we tell you that upfront instead of finding out halfway through. Give us the year, make, model and VIN when you call and we can check before you make the trip.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
