Yes. Fordham sits about two miles north of us, eight to twelve minutes down University Avenue or the Grand Concourse. We replace windshields, door glass, quarter glass and back glass at 1589 Macombs Road seven days a week, most of it same day, and there is a lot on site so you are not circling.

Anyone who drives Fordham Road knows the rhythm: a bus pulling out, a delivery van on the hazards, a gap that closes before you reach it. It is one of the busiest retail strips in the city, and cars spend more time stopped and started there than moving. Glass damage around here tends to arrive in small increments rather than one dramatic hit, which is why so many Fordham drivers show up with a crack they can date to weeks earlier.
We would rather see the car than guess at it over the phone, so bring it down and we will look at the actual glass and give you a number you can hold us to. Then the work itself gets the time it needs. Trim comes off and goes back on properly, the pinch weld is prepped rather than skimmed, and the adhesive is allowed to cure fully. If your last windshield came back with a lifted molding at the corner or a rattle over every seam, you already know why that matters.
Fordham Road runs east to west across the top of the neighborhood, meeting the Grand Concourse in the middle and Webster and Jerome Avenues on either side, with Kingsbridge Road cutting up alongside. Fordham Plaza pulls in buses from everywhere, the Bx12 Select runs the length of the strip, Metro-North stops at Fordham station, and the 4, B and D all put riders onto the same sidewalks. The result is a district where curb space turns over constantly and double-parking is a fact of life. Rose Hill sits just east, with the Botanical Garden and the zoo beyond it, and Arthur Avenue is a few blocks south, so weekend traffic here is heavy in a way that weekday traffic is not. Meter space near the plaza turns over quickly, and the side streets off Webster Avenue fill by mid-morning most days.
“They really got the job done quick and efficiently while also cleaning up the shattered glass. The minute I arrived they serviced my car and I didn’t have to worry about parking because they had a big lot. Thanks so much”
Stop-and-go is hard on glass in a quiet way. Sitting in traffic behind buses and box trucks means a steady dusting of grit at close range, and the nicks it leaves accumulate across a windshield until one of them decides to run. Winter is the tipping point: a chip that survived the fall gets water in it, freezes overnight, and opens up when the defroster comes on. Curb-height damage plays a part too, since drivers cutting into a tight space clip a wheel and the jolt travels through the body. And with cars left along the side streets while people shop or work the strip, quarter windows and door glass here go more often than windshields do, most of them found first thing in the morning.
From Fordham the simplest route is south on University Avenue, which drops you toward West Burnside Avenue and Macombs Road with no highway involved, usually inside ten minutes outside rush hour. Coming down the Grand Concourse works just as well; turn west near Mount Eden Avenue and follow Macombs Road to 1589. If you are already on the Cross Bronx, get off at Jerome Avenue or University Avenue and come north a few blocks. The lot means you can leave the car and go, which most Fordham drivers prefer to feeding a meter. And if the vehicle is stuck where it is parked, the van will come north to you.
Raquels W House Inc works across Bronx and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Usually, yes. The drive is under ten minutes off-peak and the shop has the full run of glass, tools and lighting, which makes odd parts and awkward jobs quicker to sort out. Mobile is there for when the car cannot move or you cannot leave work. Either way the price is the same, so pick whichever costs you less time.
We are open Saturday and Sunday, six in the morning to 7:30 at night, same as any weekday. Weekend mornings are usually the calmest time to come down, before the shopping traffic builds along Fordham Road. If you want to check whether your glass is in stock before you make the trip, call ahead with the year, make and model.
Possibly, and honesty on that is free. Once a crack has run to the edge of the glass or crossed your line of sight, resin will not restore it safely and we will say so rather than take your money for a repair that fails. If it is still short and out of the sightline, there is a good chance we can stop it where it is.
