Lou's Auto Specialties replaces side and rear windows at 2691 Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, typically finishing in an afternoon once the glass is on hand. We vacuum out every shard, fit the correct tempered pane, and confirm the window rolls and seals properly — plus we can fix a jammed regulator if the break damaged it.

A broken side or rear window is more than an inconvenience — it leaves your car open to the weather and to whoever walks by. That's why we treat these as quick-turn jobs. Once we've confirmed the right glass for your vehicle, most side and rear replacements come together in a single afternoon. If your window got smashed in a break-in on the street overnight, call first thing and we'll do our best to get you sealed up the same day.
The glass is only half the job. When a door window shatters, the pieces fall down inside the door where the window regulator, motor, and wiring live — so we pull the panel, clear out every fragment, and check that nothing got chewed up in the break. Sometimes the mechanism that raises and lowers the window is fine; sometimes it needs attention too. Because we're a full repair shop, we can sort the glass and the hardware in one visit instead of sending you off for the second half.
“Charlie is great. Fixed my car in a timely manner amd has Great proces.”
Every glass job we do carries a lifetime workmanship warranty — leaks, wind noise or trim issues from our install are fixed free for as long as you own the vehicle.
Two things set our side-and-rear work apart: speed and thoroughness. Speed, because an open car is a liability and we don't let it sit longer than it has to. Thoroughness, because a rushed shop leaves glass in the door that rattles for months and jams the motor. We do the tedious cleanup other places skip, and we handle the regulator and wiring on the spot — one stop for Midwood, Flatbush, or Sheepshead Bay drivers.
Which window, plus your VIN, and we quote the exact tempered glass.
We clear every shard from the door, tracks, seats and carpet.
New tempered glass installed, defroster reconnected, window tested — same day.
In-shop and mobile service throughout Brooklyn — Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Flatbush, Midwood — and nearby Queens, Staten Island, Lower Manhattan.
If it's a common vehicle, often the same day you call — we confirm the glass, and if it's in stock nearby you could be sealed up within hours. Rarer models may take a day to source. Either way, we'll help you protect the opening so nothing's exposed while you wait.
Could be either. If the glass shattered, the regulator or motor may also be damaged, or a shard may be jamming the track. We pull the door panel to see exactly what's going on and fix the mechanism along with the glass, so the window works like it did before.
No — most side and rear door windows are tempered, built to shatter into small, dull cubes for safety, while a windshield is laminated and stays together when it breaks. That's why a cracked windshield can sometimes be repaired, but a broken side window almost always needs full replacement.
Always. Tempered glass scatters into hundreds of little cubes that hide in door cavities, seat rails, and carpet. We vacuum it all out, because leftover fragments jam the window mechanism and turn up under someone's leg weeks later. You shouldn't be finding pebbles of glass after we're done.
