Albertson windshields are replaced for $250 to $500, generally on the day you call. The install runs about an hour and the adhesive needs time after that before the car is safe to use. We are a mile and a half down Willis Avenue, and the van covers driveways here just as readily.

The distance works in your favour on this job. Because Albertson is barely five minutes from the shop, a windshield replacement here rarely turns into a whole-day affair: drop the car, walk or get a lift back, and it is ready by mid-afternoon. We take the damaged glass out without gouging the frame, prime any bare metal we expose, and bond the new pane with fresh urethane and new moldings so nothing rattles or whistles once you are back at speed.
We are equally happy coming up Willis Avenue to you. Driveways in this hamlet are the sort we like: proper concrete, level, with clearance on both sides of the car, which is exactly what setting a windshield needs. The only requirement beyond that is weather. Urethane cures properly in dry conditions and sulks in the wet, so if the forecast is bad we will say so and move you rather than fit glass that might leak next winter. Either way the work carries the same lifetime workmanship warranty. We also vacuum the dash and vents afterwards, because fragments of old glass have a habit of turning up weeks later in the defroster slots if nobody bothers. The whole job is invoiced at the price agreed before we started, with no line items appearing later.
“Great experience with Gary. Easy scheduling, had everything done in two hours despite having just come back from vacation and being super busy, and the windshield and workmanship looks great. Even put my new registration sticker on for me…”

Albertson's commuter pattern makes the timing question interesting. The branch line here runs a lighter schedule than the Main Line, so people either take it and lose the flexibility, or drive down to Mineola and change, which means the car is parked in a lot in a different town. Both versions leave the vehicle stationary for the whole working day, and both mean the owner cannot possibly reach our door before six. What we suggest to people in that position is simple: leave the car at the house instead of at a station, take the train from wherever suits, and let us do the windshield on your own driveway while you are gone. It costs you nothing in time. Nobody has to take a morning off for a job that finishes before lunch.

We give you a specific safe drive-away time, generally about an hour after the install finishes. That is the point at which the urethane has developed enough strength to hold the glass in place in a crash, which is the real job a windshield does. Driving sooner risks the bond, so it is not a number we shave to be helpful.
No, and that is deliberate. Moisture on the bonding surface stops the urethane doing its job, and the result is a windshield that leaks or lets wind noise through months later. If the weather turns on the day we will reschedule, or you can bring the car to the shop where conditions are controlled and we can work regardless.
