A cracked windshield rarely picks a good moment. It shows up after a truck kicks a rock loose on the Belt Parkway, or spreads overnight when the temperature drops. At Lou's, we've replaced enough of them to make the process painless: bring the car to Coney Island Avenue, we confirm the exact glass for your year and model, and in most cases you're back on the road the same day. No upsell, no runaround — just the right windshield, set correctly.
The part people skip over is the seal. A windshield is a structural piece — it helps the roof hold its shape and gives your passenger airbag something to push against. We use urethane rated for safe drive-away timing and let it cure properly before handing back the keys, usually about an hour. If your car has a camera behind the mirror for lane-keeping or automatic braking, we'll tell you upfront whether it needs recalibration so the safety systems still read the road right.
“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.
People keep coming back for windshields because we treat the install like it matters — clean pinch weld, fresh urethane, proper cure time — and because we quote the whole job before we start. You're a short hop from Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, or Midwood, and if the dealer quoted you a fortune for the same glass, it's worth a call to compare.
Tell us the year, make, model and VIN — or use the 60-second instant quote — and we confirm the exact glass and an out-the-door price.
Drop in at 2691 Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, or our mobile tech meets you at home or work anywhere around Queens. We source the glass same-day.
We install, honor the full safe drive-away time, recalibrate any camera, and back it with a lifetime workmanship warranty.
In-shop and mobile service throughout Brooklyn — Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Flatbush, Midwood — and nearby Queens, Staten Island, Lower Manhattan.
Plan on about an hour for the swap itself on most vehicles, plus a bit of cure time before it's safe to drive — usually another hour. We'll give you a firm window when you book. If your car needs camera recalibration, add some time and we'll say so in advance.
Often, yes — comprehensive coverage usually includes glass, though whether your deductible applies depends on your policy. We can walk you through what to expect and work with most major insurers. If you'd rather pay out of pocket, we'll give you a straight cash price before anything starts.
We can, and for some newer cars with cameras or heating elements it's the smart choice. For plenty of vehicles a quality aftermarket windshield fits and performs just as well for less money. We'll lay out both options and let you decide what makes sense for your car and budget.
You can, but it rarely stays put. Brooklyn potholes, temperature swings, and a slammed door all push a crack to spread, and once it crosses your line of sight or reaches the edge, repair is off the table. Catching it early often means a cheap fix instead of a full replacement.
For most common makes, yes — we stock or can quickly get the glass, so a morning call often means an afternoon install. Rare or specialty vehicles may take an extra day to source the right windshield. Call with your year, make, and model and we'll tell you honestly.
