We do. Hunts Point is roughly twenty minutes from the shop by way of the Cross Bronx and the Bruckner, and we handle it both ways: bring the vehicle to 1589 Macombs Road, or give us the address and the van comes to the yard. Cars, vans and light trucks, seven days, from six in the morning.

Glass takes a beating on this peninsula. Between the market traffic, the trailers turning off Hunts Point Avenue and the state of the pavement on Halleck and Barretto Streets, a windshield out here collects chips faster than it does almost anywhere else in the borough. We see a lot of work vehicles from these blocks, and the calculation for them is different: a van that is off the road is a day's money, so the job has to be right the first time and it cannot drag on.
That is where the detail matters. On a van or a box truck the cowl and trim take real abuse, so clips get replaced rather than forced back into tired holes, the bead is laid clean, and the glass gets its full cure before anyone drives out. Drivers who have had a cheap install know the sound of a windshield that was rushed, that low drumming over rough pavement. Ours are set to sit quiet, and if something does start whistling later, the workmanship warranty covers putting it right.
Hunts Point is a working peninsula, and it drives like one. Hunts Point Avenue is the spine, Garrison and Longwood Avenues feed it, and Halleck Street, Barretto Street, Food Center Drive and Edgewater Road carry the tractor-trailers that keep the food market running. The pavement takes that weight all day and shows it, with sunken plates, patched trenches and gravel scattered across the travel lanes. Parking is the one thing that is not a fight here, since most of the industrial blocks have curb space and yards have their own room. The 6 train stops at Hunts Point Avenue and Longwood Avenue for anyone leaving a vehicle with us, and Barretto Point Park is where the neighborhood gets its stretch of waterfront back. Traffic here also runs on a different clock than the rest of the Bronx, heaviest before dawn and again in the late afternoon, which is worth knowing when you plan a trip out.
“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…”
Trailers are the problem and the explanation. Gravel and debris ride out of open beds and off dirty tires, and at anything above a crawl that stone reaches the windshield of whatever is behind it. Broken pavement supplies the rest: hit a sunken steel plate or a trench patch in a loaded van and the flex runs straight through a chip you had been ignoring. Industrial grit also grinds wiper blades into a haze that spreads glare at night, which is what makes drivers finally look closely and find the star they had not noticed. Add the vehicles that sit overnight on unlit industrial curbs, and tempered side glass ends up on the ground more often than it should, usually the driver's door on a van rather than anything on a car.
From Hunts Point, the straightforward run is Bruckner Boulevard to the Bruckner Expressway, then the Cross Bronx west across the borough and off at Jerome Avenue or University Avenue; Macombs Road is a couple of turns from either. Off-peak it is around twenty minutes. Market hours being what they are, plenty of drivers come the other way and arrive at six when we unlock, before the day gets going. If the vehicle cannot leave the yard, or you would rather not lose it for a morning, we will bring the glass out to Halleck Street or wherever it is parked and do the swap on site.

Yes, work vehicles are a regular part of the day here. Tell us the year, make and model, and for a commercial body the size and shape of the piece, and we will match it. Fleet vans, cargo vans and light trucks all get the same install: fresh moldings and clips, a proper bead, the full cure honored before it goes back into service.
We can. Give us the address or the loading area, plus the vehicle and which glass is broken, and the van comes out with the piece, the urethane and the tools. Mobile work on these blocks costs the same as it would at the shop. The one thing we plan around is weather, since heavy rain or a hard freeze is not fair to a fresh bead.
Fast, if you catch it early. A chip smaller than a quarter that has not run to the edge usually takes twenty to forty minutes with resin, and you drive away right after. On roads like these, waiting is expensive: one loaded pass over a sunken plate and a repairable star becomes a crack that needs the whole windshield replaced.
