Upper Manhattan is the one part of our service area where almost nobody has a driveway, so the calls we get from Washington Heights, Inwood and Harlem are nearly always about cars parked at the curb. That is fine, because we work curbside constantly. What we need is a legal spot, a little room on the damaged side, and some warning about which day the street gets cleaned.
The pricing does not change because you are across the river. Chips are sixty to a hundred fifty dollars filled on the street, side and rear glass runs two hundred to four hundred fifty with the shard cleanup included, and there is no extra line item for the bridge. Drivers here often assume a Bronx shop will charge them for the trip. We do not, and that is worth knowing before paying Manhattan rates around the corner. The other thing worth saying plainly is that we do not need the car moved to work on it. Leave it where it is legally parked, tell us the block and which day the street gets cleaned, and the tech plans around that.
Upper Manhattan runs from Harlem up through Washington Heights to Inwood, with Broadway, Amsterdam Avenue and St. Nicholas Avenue carrying most of the traffic and the Harlem River Drive and Henry Hudson Parkway running along either edge. West 181st Street and Dyckman Street are the big crosstown streets, and the George Washington Bridge approach dominates everything around 178th and 179th. Parking is the defining constraint here: garages are expensive, curb space is scarce and alternate side rules shape the whole week. The A and the 1 cover the area well, which is why plenty of people leave a damaged car parked and book us to come to it instead of driving anywhere. From the Bronx side, the Willis Avenue, Madison Avenue, University Heights and Broadway bridges are all short hops.
“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!”
The bridge and highway approaches do most of the damage. Traffic feeding the George Washington Bridge, the Cross Bronx and the Harlem River Drive moves over worn, plated pavement with trucks in every lane, and that is a reliable source of chipped windshields. The parkway edges add fallen debris after storms. On residential blocks the pattern shifts to side glass, since a car left on the street for days in a dense neighbourhood is exposed both to break-ins and to the ordinary scrapes of very tight parallel parking. Winter is hard on curb-parked cars too, because they take the full freeze and thaw with no garage to soften it, and that is when small chips become long cracks. Curb-parked cars collect the small damage too, a mirror clipped by a passing van or a quarter light cracked while somebody squeezed into the space behind.
Most Upper Manhattan customers use the van, but if you would rather come to the shop, the Willis Avenue or Third Avenue bridge puts you on Bruckner Boulevard heading east, and Hunts Point Avenue takes you in to 1019 Garrison Avenue. From Washington Heights, the University Heights or Alexander Hamilton bridge onto the Cross Bronx and down the Sheridan works too. Budget fifteen to twenty-five minutes depending on the crossing and the hour. Parking outside our door is easier than anything you will find at home, which is one reason some people make the trip anyway. Call with the crossing you plan to use and we will tell you which one is actually moving that hour.
New York Auto Glass Inc works across Bronx and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
No trip charge. The mobile price matches what you would pay standing in our bay on Garrison Avenue, and that holds for Washington Heights, Inwood and Harlem. What we ask for is a workable parking situation and honest information about the spot, because a tight space between two cars with no room on the damaged side is the one thing that stops a job.
Yes, curbside is normal for us in Manhattan. We need enough clearance to open the door fully on the side being worked, and for a windshield we need to reach the base of the glass from outside the car. Rain is the real limitation rather than the parking, since urethane needs a dry set to cure the way it should.
A day or two is ideal for Manhattan, because we schedule those runs rather than doing them ad hoc. Emergencies get priority, especially an open window on a car that has to sit outside overnight. Call in the morning with the vehicle details and the address and we will tell you honestly whether it is today or tomorrow.
