Expect $200 to $450 for most Flatbush door, quarter and rear panes, cleanup included, with the majority finished in one afternoon. Since tempered glass needs no adhesive cure, the car is drivable straight away. We are four miles south, a single run down Coney Island Avenue.

The call usually comes in the morning. Someone parked on a side street off Church Avenue or Ocean Avenue comes down to a passenger window that is now a pile of pellets on the seat, and the immediate question is how quickly the car can be made secure again. In most cases the answer is today or tomorrow, depending on the pane, and $200 to $450 covers the glass, the clips, the labour and the cleanup.
The cleanup deserves the emphasis. Glass driven through the inside of a car ends up in the seat rails, under the carpet edge, in the door cavity and in the seat belt reel housing, and a quick sweep leaves most of it behind. We take the door card off, vacuum the shell, clear the channel and check the regulator runs freely before the new pane goes in. A regulator bent during the break gets fixed while the door is open, since doing it later means paying to open the same door twice. Rear glass with a heating element gets its connections remade and tested. Nothing has to set afterwards, so the car goes home when the trim is back on.

Street parking here rarely offers a choice of block, and a car left overnight on a busy stretch near Nostrand Avenue is more exposed than one tucked away off Cortelyou Road. That is not a comment on the neighborhood so much as arithmetic about foot traffic, and it is the reason most of our Flatbush work in this category is door glass rather than accident damage. Getting the car down to us is straightforward, a single southbound run of fifteen to twenty minutes with no highway involved. If the car cannot be left sitting open on the street, the van will come north and do it where it stands at the same price. Either way, mention the headlights when you book; the lenses on a Flatbush commuter car are usually ready for attention.

Please do, at least from the affected side. Glass gets into bags, cup holders and door pockets, and anything we have to work around slows the vacuum work down and risks leaving pellets behind. Valuables should come with you as a matter of course, especially in a car that has already been opened once.
The work is the same and the price band is the same. What changes is scheduling, because a vehicle that earns during the day cannot sit here through the afternoon. Tell us when you book and we will take it first thing, so it is back in service before the school run rather than after it.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
