East Williston shares the 11596 ZIP code with our shop, and the drive over is a couple of minutes along Hillside Avenue. We fill chips in about thirty minutes, replace most windshields the same day, and send the van to the station lot or your driveway when leaving the car with us is not practical.

There is not much distance between us and East Williston. Hillside Avenue links the two villages directly, and the whole of the incorporated village fits inside a walk that most people would consider reasonable on a nice afternoon. Because of that, this is one of the few places where customers genuinely do drop a car in the morning and stroll back for it. It also means we tend to hear about damage early, while a chip is still a chip and the fix is thirty minutes and a fraction of a replacement.
The village runs on its train. East Williston has its own platform on the Oyster Bay Branch, and the pattern is familiar to anyone who lives here: leave the car near the station or in the driveway at seven, ride in, come back at seven at night to a car that has not moved. That is a full working day of doing nothing, and it is the ideal window for glass work. We would rather use those hours than have you take a morning off to sit in our waiting area.
East Williston is a small village of quiet streets, and the geography is easy to describe: Hillside Avenue runs across the south end, Roslyn Road takes the north-south traffic up toward Roslyn and down toward Mineola, and the Oyster Bay Branch tracks cut through with the station beside them. The residential blocks are wide by Nassau standards, with driveways and mature street trees, and there is very little commercial frontage, so almost nobody here parks at a meter. What that adds up to for us is straightforward mobile work. Cars sit on their own concrete with clearance around them, which is what a windshield install needs. The one thing to watch is the station lot, which is modest in size and fills quickly, so a car left there tends to be boxed tightly between two others.
“After a rock chipped my windshield I called to schedule a repair. Gary was able to accommodate me the same day. He offered me a very reasonable price out of pocket, or was willing to go through insurance as well. The repair was quick and…”
For a village with so little through traffic, East Williston sends us a steady stream of cracked windshields, and the reason is the commute rather than the streets. Cars here spend their mileage on Hillside Avenue, Roslyn Road and the parkways heading west, and that is where stone gets picked up. Damage often arrives home unnoticed and then announces itself in the driveway overnight, when the temperature drops and a pit that seemed harmless spreads into a line across the glass. The second pattern is seasonal and local: heavy tree cover over the residential blocks means falling limbs in storms and, in a hard winter, chunks of ice sliding off roofs onto whatever is parked below. Rear windows and door glass take the brunt of that.
From the village it is a short hop west on Hillside Avenue, then north onto Willis Avenue, and 708 is on your right after the numbers climb. Two or three minutes covers it in ordinary traffic, and a good number of customers leave the car and walk home rather than wait. That works nicely for a replacement, which needs a couple of hours between the install and the safe drive-away time. The alternative is that we come to you. If the car is parked at the station for the day or sitting in the driveway while you work from home, give us the address, and we will bring the glass and the tools out there instead.
Blue Chip Auto Glass works across Williston Park and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Yes, provided the space allows it. We need room to walk both sides of the car and set the glass, so a spot with an empty bay next to it is ideal. Tell us the plate and where you parked and we will find it. If the lot turns out to be jammed tight, we will move the car a few yards rather than rush an install in a bad position.
No. Pricing a job costs you nothing, whether you use the instant quote on this site or ring the shop and describe what happened. For anything unusual, a photo of the break sent over is often enough for us to tell you whether it is a thirty-minute repair or a replacement, and to give you a number before you commit to anything.
You bring it back and we fix it, at no charge, for as long as you own the vehicle. Every install we do carries a lifetime workmanship warranty covering leaks, wind noise and trim that has not seated properly. Those faults come from rushed preparation or short-cut cure times, which is precisely why we do not rush either one.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
