The van works our own neighborhood at in-shop pricing with no trip charge, usually same or next day. Chips are about thirty minutes at $60 to $150, windshields $250 to $500 with an hour of fitting plus an hour of cure, and tempered side or rear glass $200 to $450 with nothing to wait for.

Being based here means the drive to you is measured in minutes, so mobile jobs in this neighborhood tend to be quick to arrange and easy to reschedule if the weather turns. That last part matters more by the water than it does inland. A gusty afternoon off the bay carries grit and salt spray along the streets running down toward Emmons Avenue, and neither belongs anywhere near a fresh bond line.
When conditions are good, the van does everything short of camera recalibration and serious electrical diagnosis. Windshields, door panes, quarter lights, rear screens, chip fills and lens restoration all happen at your address for the same money as in the bay. What we ask for is a legal spot the car can hold for the length of the job and a way to get the keys. Comprehensive claims are billed to your carrier the same way either way, and the paperwork is done for you. Given how close the shop is, we will occasionally suggest bringing it in instead, and we will say why rather than just booking it. A ten-minute drive that gets the car onto level ground under a roof is sometimes simply the better job, and we would rather tell you that than take the booking regardless.
“Charlie and Oscar are the best...Mario tinted my windows today..came out great... charlie has extensive knowledge with all types of car issues...Oscar will troubleshoot most electrical problems and much more...one of the last mom and pop…”

Street parking near the water is the main reason people ask for the van rather than the shop, which is slightly ironic given how short the drive would be. Around Emmons Avenue and the blocks near the pedestrian bridge to Manhattan Beach, a spot that holds all afternoon is worth more than the twelve minutes saved by not driving over. The streets off Voorhies Avenue and Avenue Z are a mix, and some houses have driveways, which is the ideal case. Whatever the setting, ask about the lamps while the technician is there. Lenses on cars kept this close to open salt water fog early and evenly, and cutting them back for $60 to $150 at the kerb is a better use of the visit than a second appointment later.

It can. Strong wind carrying sand or salt spray across an open bond line is a real problem for a windshield, since anything landing on the primed surface stays under the glass permanently. Door and rear panes are far less sensitive and usually go ahead. We will make the call on the morning rather than leaving you guessing the night before.
If the car can legally stay put for the job, yes. What we cannot do is work in a spot that turns over every hour or in a lane where traffic is passing close to the technician. Tell us where the car actually is when you call 646-386-2253 and we will tell you straight whether the van or the bay is the better answer.
