Budget $250 to $500 and about two hours in total: an hour of fitting and an hour before the car can be driven. Most vehicles sit at $250 to $450. Canarsie is six miles east of us on the Belt Parkway, and driveways here mean the van can often do it where the car already stands.

Driveways change the calculation. Most of Canarsie is one and two-family houses, which means the car has somewhere flat and private to sit while the urethane sets. That is exactly the condition mobile windshield work wants, and it is why a larger share of our Canarsie jobs happen at the customer's address than anywhere else we cover. Same price as the shop, no trip charge, usually same or next day.
What we need from you is dry weather and an hour where nobody has to move the vehicle. The technician brings the glass, the primer, the urethane, new moldings and new clips, cuts the old pane out and sets the new one, then leaves the car standing while it cures. Rain is the one thing that reliably reschedules us, since fresh adhesive and water do not mix. If your car carries a camera behind the mirror it comes to the shop instead, because recalibration needs the equipment on site. Pricing does not change either way, and the workmanship warranty is identical whether the job happened in our bay or on Glenwood Road. Payment, paperwork and any comprehensive claim are handled the same way too, so a driveway job is not a lesser version of the shop job.

The Belt Parkway runs along the bottom of the neighborhood past the pier, and anyone commuting on it collects road debris the way everyone else collects parking tickets. Sand thrown off a truck at fifty makes the star chips we see most from here. The same road, after dark, is where dull headlights stop being cosmetic. It is a wide, fast, poorly lit run, and a lens that has gone yellow throws its light into the verge instead of down the lane. When a car comes in for glass we look at the lamps as a matter of course, and restoration at $60 to $150 usually gets added on the spot. Coming to us is a fifteen to eighteen minute run west on the Belt, off at Coney Island Avenue.

We call you and move it. Urethane needs a dry bond line, and setting glass in the wet is how leaks and wind noise get built into a car from day one. If the timing is tight, the alternative is bringing it to the shop that day instead, where the weather is not part of the equation and the schedule stays yours.
It needs to stay still for about an hour after the glass is set. You can be inside the house, at work, or anywhere else; it is the vehicle that has to stay put. Driving on green urethane can shift the pane a fraction, and a fraction is enough to leave you with a whistle at highway speed for the rest of the winter.
