An hour is the usual turnaround on side and rear tempered glass, at $200 to $450 with the cleanup in the price. Side and rear work is the quickest thing we do, which is why a Hunts Point driver with a smashed window should just point the truck up the Bruckner. Popular door and back glass is on the shelf.

Tempered side and rear glass has no repair path. It breaks into a heap of small cubes, and on a work vehicle those cubes end up somewhere expensive: down inside the door around the regulator, in the seat rails, under the rubber mat, and in the load space with whatever you were carrying. The replacement itself is straightforward. Door card off, cavity vacuumed, new glass matched to the VIN, run channels checked, glass set square, window cycled on the motor. Back glass adds the defroster grid and, on some vehicles, the antenna, both of which get reconnected and tested instead of ignored.
For a vehicle that earns money, the arithmetic is simple. A broken side window is an hour of shop time and $200 to $450, against a day of driving with plastic sheeting flapping at fifty on the Bruckner, or a load you cannot leave unattended anywhere. We open at seven and we do not run a booking system, so the sensible pattern is to come straight over at the start of the day rather than trying to squeeze it in later. Cleanup is included in the price, not an extra, which matters when the cab has been full of glass since last night.
“This team was great! Someone broke into my car and I went to their shop to fix my window. They completed the window and vacuumed my car within an hour.”

Vehicles sit outside overnight all over this peninsula, and not in driveways. Trucks and vans stand on Faile Street, along Randall Avenue and on the yards and aprons near the water, in an area that empties of people once the market rhythm shifts. Break a side window on one of those and the owner finds it at four in the morning, with the run already scheduled. That is where the hour matters. Getting from the industrial blocks to the bay is twenty minutes on the Bruckner and the Cross Bronx westbound, and the glass for common vans and pickups is stocked, so a driver can lose one hour instead of one day. The vacuum matters here too, because tempered pebbles in a cargo floor come back up through the load for weeks.

Come over as soon as we open and most side windows are done inside the hour, glass in, cavity vacuumed, window tested on the motor. Back glass with a heating grid runs longer because of the wiring. The drive from the industrial blocks is about twenty minutes off-peak, so a vehicle that leaves at seven is often earning again by nine.
Both get vacuumed. Tempered glass scatters much further than people expect, and in a van it ends up in the load floor channels, under the bulkhead and in the door shells. The door panel comes off so the shell can be cleared, then we work through the seats, the mats and the rear compartment. Cleanup is part of the $200 to $450, not a line item added afterward.
