$250 to $450 fitted, an hour of glass work and then a safe drive-away wait before the windshield is structurally part of the car again. From Olney the bay is about twelve minutes: straight down 5th Street to Erie Avenue, then across to 3538 N Lawrence St. One call to 215-608-1108 settles the figure, and it is settled before the pane is ordered rather than after it arrives.

Fifth Street through Olney is one of the busiest surface corridors in the city and it is unkind to glass in a very particular way. Nobody moves fast, but everybody is stopping, pulling out around a double-parked delivery truck, and dropping a wheel into the seam beside a manhole or the edge of a trench cut that has settled since it was patched. That constant low-speed thumping does not chip a windshield. What it does is work on damage that is already there, so the star you picked up on the Boulevard in September turns into a line across the glass over a fortnight of ordinary Olney driving in November.
When it gets to that stage the pane has to come out, and the part of the job worth paying attention to is what happens to the frame underneath. Old adhesive cut back to a thin, even bed rather than gouged to bare steel. Bare spots primed instead of covered up. One continuous bead of fresh urethane with no cold joint where it meets itself. New moldings and clips rather than brittle ones refitted because they came off in one piece. Then the release time, quoted before you commit and adjusted for the weather on the day, because urethane cures slower cold and damp than warm and dry. Ordinary vehicles are covered from a regional shelf; anything with sensors in it is matched to your VIN before it is ordered.
“Very nice people working here! They quickly received my windshield and installed it! The gentleman that replaced the window was very careful and polite! I've been here a few times for window replacement and have never had a negative experience! And pricing is also very reasonable!”

The awkward part of a windshield in Olney is not the price, it is the hour of stillness. A bonded pane needs the car parked and undisturbed while the adhesive comes up to strength, and there is nowhere on or near 5th Street where a vehicle can sit like that: it is loading, unloading, double parking and moving all day. That is the argument for driving the twelve minutes to a roofed bay rather than trying to arrange it where the car normally lives. On the way in, one piece of advice that saves people money: if the crack has already reached the edge of the glass, avoid the rougher stretches and do not use the defroster on full, because both will push it further before you get here.
Same service, same price, other Hunting Park neighborhoods:
Yes. We are open nine to six on Saturday, the same hours as the rest of the week, and it is a normal working day here rather than a reduced one. Sunday is the only day we are closed. The one thing worth doing is calling on Friday or earlier with your year, make and model so the glass is confirmed and, if it is not on the shelf, ordered in time to be here for your slot. A Saturday morning call for an unusual windshield can still mean waiting until Monday for the pane, which is a wasted trip nobody wants. Book it ahead and Saturday works well.
Not automatically, and most of what gets fitted in this city is quality aftermarket glass rather than dealer parts. What matters is that the pane is the right specification for your car: correct thickness and curvature, the right tint band, the right bracket for a mirror or camera, an acoustic interlayer if the car was built with one, and the heating element if there is a heated wiper park. Glass that is nearly right is what causes wind noise, distortion at the edges and a camera that will not hold calibration. We will tell you what your car takes and what is available, so the choice is yours with the facts on the table.
