Roughly 30 minutes of work and you wait for the car rather than leaving it. Kingsbridge drivers ask about cost first, fairly enough: a repair is normally covered with the deductible waived under comprehensive, so a lot of these finish at zero out of pocket, and we file the claim for you.

Kingsbridge is built on a hill. Bailey Avenue, Kingsbridge Avenue and Kingsbridge Terrace all climb away from Broadway, where the 1 train runs overhead past 231st and 238th Streets, and Van Cortlandt Park sits at the top of the rise. Hills mean sand and salt in winter, spread heavily on grades so cars can get up them, and that grit stays on the road long after the ice is gone. Tires flick it up. Windshields catch it.
Once you have a break, the clock starts. Steep streets, cold mornings and a defroster running full blast are a combination that turns a small chip into a long crack quickly. A repair stops it: the cavity is cleaned, the air inside is drawn out under vacuum, optical resin is injected under pressure, cured with UV light and polished flush. Nothing is cut and nothing is glued, so the factory seal and factory bond carry on doing their job and no camera needs recalibrating. Come down the Major Deegan, or take Bailey Avenue to Jerome and south under the elevated tracks, about four miles either way. We will look at it free and tell you straight whether resin will hold.

West 231st Street is the shopping block, and anyone who parks there knows how tight the spaces are and how much of the day goes into circling. That has a bearing on glass work, because a mobile visit needs a vehicle that can stand still somewhere legal for half an hour, and on the streets below Broadway that is not always findable. The drive south is short, though. Fifteen minutes on the Deegan, or the slower way along Bailey Avenue and Jerome, and you are here. One more Kingsbridge detail worth mentioning: cars kept up near Van Cortlandt Park sit under trees, and sap and grit settling into an open break make it harder to fill cleanly. If your windshield is chipped and the car lives outdoors up the hill, do not let it sit for a month.

That is a normal choice and we are fine with it. Some drivers prefer to keep a clean claim history, or have coverage that makes filing pointless, so they settle the repair directly. We quote the job free either way and you decide before the work starts. If you change your mind we can still open the claim later, though it is simpler to settle the question up front.
Come back. Our workmanship warranty runs for as long as you own the vehicle, so if the resin fails or the break moves after we have sealed it, that is on us to put right. In practice a properly filled chip stays put, and the cases that give trouble are breaks that were already contaminated or larger than they looked. That is why the assessment beforehand matters.
