Most chips take about 30 minutes at our West Mount Eden Avenue shop, and you wait while we work. Money first: most comprehensive policies waive the deductible on a repair, so plenty of Mount Eden chip jobs end at zero out of pocket. We file the claim with your insurer ourselves.

Our shop sits on West Mount Eden Avenue, one block off the Grand Concourse, which makes this the one neighborhood where people walk in holding a coffee and ask us to look at the glass. A chip up to about the size of a quarter, or a crack running no more than roughly three inches, is usually repairable as long as it sits outside the driver's direct sightline. We clean the break out, pull the trapped air from it under vacuum, push optical resin in under pressure, cure it with UV light and polish the surface flush. Damage that has sat for weeks and taken on dirt and moisture never fills as cleanly, so early is better.
Because nothing is cut out, your factory seal and factory bond stay exactly as they were. No new adhesive goes in, and nothing behind the glass needs camera recalibration. Before any of that, we look at the break for free and tell you honestly whether resin will hold or whether you are better off replacing the glass. If you have comprehensive coverage, bring the policy number and we will call the claim in from the counter. The repair carries our lifetime workmanship warranty.

Mount Eden Avenue runs between Jerome Avenue, where the elevated 4 train throws shade over the street, and the Grand Concourse a block east. The Cross Bronx Expressway is only a few blocks north of us, and that is where most of the chips we see on this block start life: loose stone off a truck tire, flicked back at highway speed, landing on glass that was fine an hour earlier. What happens next is the local part. Alternate-side parking on the Concourse means the car gets moved and left out in whatever the weather is doing, and a chip that spends two cold nights outside before anyone looks at it starts to travel. Because you are close enough to walk here, there is no reason to let it sit. Bring it over the same day and we will read it while you stand there.

The policy number and the vehicle, basically. If you already phoned the loss in, bring the claim number too, since that lets us pick up the file the insurer already opened instead of starting a second one. If you have not called anyone, we can open the glass claim for you here at the counter. Either way you hear what the deductible looks like before we touch the windshield.
Often, yes. We take walk-ins whenever the schedule has room, and a chip repair only occupies a bay for about half an hour, so it fits between bigger jobs more easily than a replacement does. Calling first still helps, because it lets us tell you a time to arrive rather than have you sit in the waiting area. We are open Monday through Saturday.
