Fordham is about fifteen minutes from our Hunts Point shop. Chip repair takes thirty minutes and costs sixty to a hundred fifty dollars, often nothing with comprehensive coverage. Windshields for common cars are two hundred fifty to four hundred fifty, and the van reaches Fordham with no trip charge.

Fordham Road is one of the busiest shopping streets in the city, and drivers who deal with it daily know what the curb lane is like: buses, deliveries, double-parking and a lot of very slow, very close traffic. It is not fast enough to break glass on its own, but it is where cars get dinged, mirrored and occasionally caught by a swinging door. Add the highways people use to leave the neighborhood and you have the two halves of our workload here.
The money side is straightforward. Most vehicles from this area are ordinary commuters, and glass for them is cheap and stocked, so a chip is sixty to a hundred fifty and a windshield two hundred fifty to four hundred fifty. When somebody calls asking for the cheapest safe option, we answer honestly, and quite often that answer is a thirty-minute repair rather than the replacement they had assumed they needed. We will also tell you when a cracked quarter window can safely wait a week and when a car left open on the street really cannot sit through another night.
East Fordham Road is the spine, crossing the Grand Concourse in the middle of the shopping district and running east toward Southern Boulevard, the zoo entrance and the Botanical Garden. Webster Avenue and Jerome Avenue carry the north-south traffic, Kingsbridge Road runs parallel to the north, and Fordham Plaza sits beside the Metro-North station where the buses gather. The B and D stop at Fordham Road on the Concourse, the 4 stops at Fordham Road on Jerome Avenue, and the Bx12 Select bus runs the length of the corridor in its own lane. Curb space along Fordham Road is enforced hard, so for mobile work we normally arrange to meet the car on a side street or in a residential spot rather than on the avenue itself. A weekday slot on a residential block north of the avenue is easier for everyone than anything near Fordham Plaza.
“We went here today, a cold Sunday afternoon, after the right rear window was broken into. They were well-priced, the staff was friendly, and they worked fast! My new go-to spot for this type of emergency!”
Two sources dominate. The first is the highway commute, since the Major Deegan and the Cross Bronx are how most Fordham drivers leave the area, and both throw stone from trucks and work zones at exactly the speeds where a pebble stars a windshield. The second is the density of the shopping strip, where cars sit inches apart, doors open into neighbours and delivery traffic squeezes past parked vehicles all day. That produces side-glass damage more than windshield damage. Overnight break-ins on the residential blocks north of the avenue account for most of the rest, usually a rear quarter window and a mess of tempered pebbles across the back seat. Sweeping tempered pebbles out of a back seat is a job we do more often from this ZIP code than almost anywhere else.
From Fordham Road, the straight run is Southern Boulevard south past the zoo, then onto Bruckner Boulevard or the Bruckner Expressway east to the Hunts Point Avenue exit; Garrison Avenue is a few blocks in at 1019. Figure fifteen to twenty minutes over about five miles. Webster Avenue south to the Sheridan is the alternative when Southern Boulevard is crawling. If you are dropping the car and heading back, the 6 from Hunts Point Avenue connects easily. Otherwise our van covers this part of the borough regularly and charges exactly what the shop does. Give us the year, make and model when you call and we will confirm whether that glass is in the rack or a day out.
New York Auto Glass Inc works across Bronx and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
We can, but we will usually ask you to park a block or two off the avenue. Enforcement on the main strip is aggressive and there is rarely enough clear curb to work safely. A residential side street, a driveway or a lot is fine, and we confirm the spot before the tech leaves. The price is the same either way.
Probably not for a chip repair or a common side window, because those cost less than that and you would pay it all yourself anyway. For a windshield on a car with a camera system the total can climb past your deductible, and then filing makes sense. Tell us the vehicle and we will do that arithmetic with you before anything is filed.
Usually same-day. The vehicles we see most from this part of the Bronx are the ones every warehouse in the region stocks, so the part is often on our shelf or a few hours away. Rarer models or imported trim can take a day, and if that is your situation we tell you the real timeline on the phone rather than after you arrive.
