Set aside 60 to 90 minutes for the replacement and roughly another hour while the urethane cures enough to drive on safely, so most Parkchester jobs finish the same day. The comprehensive glass claim goes in through us, with the deductible spelled out before the old windshield moves.

Parkchester is a lot of cars in a small footprint. Thousands of apartments ring the Metropolitan Oval, and the parking that comes with them is garage or permit space inside the development, with meters out on the avenues. Neither is a good place to leave a car sitting through a cure. That is the main reason we suggest bringing the vehicle to us rather than booking the van: you get a bay, a defined finish time, and no meter running down while the urethane sets. The run in is the Cross Bronx westbound, roughly five miles.
The word that trips people up is deductible. It is the share of a covered loss your policy says you pay, and it is set by the plan you already bought, not by the shop. Some policies carry a separate glass deductible that is lower than the one on the rest of the coverage, and many waive it entirely when the damage can be repaired instead of replaced. We look that up with your carrier before the old windshield comes out, so the figure is known rather than discovered. Then the install proceeds normally: cut, clean, prime, bond, new trim, honored cure time, and a full vacuum of the interior.

Hugh J. Grant Circle is the reason a lot of Parkchester windshields end up on our bench. Westchester Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue and East Tremont Avenue all meet there, and the merging, braking and lane changing kick up whatever is loose on the road surface. Add the Cross Bronx service roads carrying through traffic on the other side of the neighborhood and you get steady, low-grade windshield abuse that most drivers never connect to any single incident. The second wrinkle is access. Getting a mobile van next to your car inside a permit garage is not always possible, and the metered spaces on the avenues do not give you the time a cure needs. Fifteen to twenty minutes on the Cross Bronx westbound solves both problems, and you can wait here while the adhesive does its work.
Same service, same price, other Bronx neighborhoods:
It is the fixed portion of a covered loss that your policy assigns to you, and the insurer pays the rest of what it approves. Glass is often treated separately in a policy, sometimes with a lower deductible than the rest of the comprehensive coverage, and repairs are frequently exempt from it altogether. We confirm yours with the carrier and tell you before any work is authorized.
There is, and plenty of Parkchester drivers do exactly that rather than making two trips across the Cross Bronx. Between the install and the safe drive-away time you are looking at a couple of hours in total. We will tell you the precise time your car is ready to move, not an estimate, so you can decide whether to wait or step out.
