Most side, quarter and rear panes run $200 to $450 fitted with all the glass vacuumed out, and the majority are done inside an afternoon. Tempered glass has no cure time, so a work van can go straight back into service. Sunset Park is about twenty-five minutes from the shop.

Cargo vans are the common case from around the terminal blocks and the yards off 36th and 39th Street. Someone puts a rear barn-door pane through to see what is inside, and by the time the owner arrives there is glass across the load floor and a van that cannot carry tools safely until it is cleaned out. The fitting is quick. Getting several thousand pellets out of a ribbed steel floor and the door shells is the part that takes real time, and it is included rather than charged as an extra.
Pricing sits at $200 to $450 for most tempered panes, van or car. Fixed rear quarter glass, sliding side windows, door glass and back windows all fall in that band, with the vehicle and the pane deciding where. If the regulator was damaged when the window went, it is repaired in the same visit. Vehicles that earn money get scheduled first thing so they lose part of a day rather than all of one, and if the job is going through a commercial policy we bill the carrier and handle the paperwork from here. Tell us the plate and the pane when you call and the glass gets sourced before the van is booked in, not while it waits.

Loading and unloading is what makes this a different job around the waterfront. A van sitting open in a yard is a target, and the same vehicle has to be watertight and secure again before it can carry anything worth stealing. That is why we would rather book a Sunset Park van for eight in the morning than three in the afternoon, and why the temporary fix matters less here than the permanent one. There is a second reason to come early. Fleet vehicles rack up night miles under the elevated stretch over Third Avenue and along the truck routes, and their headlight lenses are almost always overdue. While the van is already off the road, restoring them costs $60 to $150 and does not add another day to the schedule.

Yes. Rear door glass, fixed side panes, sliding windows and the bonded quarter lights are all standard work, and most land inside the usual $200 to $450 range. Some van panes are bonded rather than clipped, which changes the method but not the price band. Give us the year, make, model and roof height when you call so the right piece is sourced first time.
Rarely for the doors themselves, though racking makes the cleanup slower because pellets bounce underneath it. If you can clear loose stock out of the load area before it comes in, the job moves faster. Leave the racking bolted where it is; taking it out to reach the glass is almost never necessary.
