Canarsie is far enough out that people do not drive to us by accident. They come because somebody told them to, and by the time the car is in the bay we have usually already spoken on the phone about what the damage looks like and what it will cost. That conversation matters more at this distance, because nobody wants to make a forty-minute round trip to be told something different when they arrive.
So we price it on the phone and we hold that price. If a chip turns out to be repairable, the bill is $60 to $150 instead of a new windshield, and we will say that rather than quietly upselling once your car is on the lift. Enough Canarsie drivers have made the trip twice, once for their own car and once with a relative's, that it is clearly working. The alternative, when the trip is genuinely inconvenient, is simply to send the van out to you. That is the arrangement, and it has not changed in years.
Canarsie is bordered on its southern side by the Belt Parkway and the water beyond it, with Canarsie Pier and the park strip along Jamaica Bay. Rockaway Parkway runs the length of the neighborhood and ends at the last stop on the L, which makes it the busiest street here by a wide margin, with buses, deliveries and double-parking most of the day. Flatlands Avenue and Avenue L carry crosstown traffic, and Remsen Avenue angles across the grid. Away from those, the residential streets are mostly semi-attached houses with driveways, which is a genuine difference from the rest of south Brooklyn: more cars here sleep off the street. Seaview Avenue and the blocks toward Starrett City carry heavier commercial and industrial traffic. Rockaway Parkway near the terminal is the one stretch worth avoiding at school-run hours, since buses stack up three deep against the curb.
“Quick and easy, but some of the workers there have a real attitude problem.”
The Belt Parkway sets the tone for Canarsie windshields. Cars from here spend real time on it, and its shoulder is a continuous supply of loose stone, patch material and construction debris that trucks throw back at whatever is following. Flatlands Avenue and Seaview Avenue add the industrial component, with heavy vehicles running to and from the yards and warehouses on the eastern edge of the neighborhood. Then there is standing water. The low ground near the bay floods in heavy rain, and a car driven through deep water repeatedly develops leaks around the glass seals that people mistake for a bad install. When we replace a windshield here we prime the pinch weld carefully, because rust in that channel is a real problem this close to salt water.
Pick up the Belt Parkway westbound near Rockaway Parkway or Pennsylvania Avenue, run it around the shoreline, and come off at Bay Parkway. Take Bay Parkway up past Kings Highway and 60th Street, then turn onto 47th Street and we are between 19th and 20th Avenue. Twenty-five minutes is fair when the Belt is behaving, which it often is not, so mid-morning is the better bet. If the trip is not practical, or the car has a window missing after a break-in, the van comes out to Canarsie and does the work in your driveway. Ring us before you set off so the glass is already unwrapped.

For a lot of people it is, because the price is fixed before you leave and the work carries a lifetime workmanship warranty. But we will not pretend the Belt Parkway is fun. If the trip does not suit you, mobile service brings the same glass and the same install to your address, and for most jobs around here it costs the same as coming in.
Canarsie has more driveways than most of south Brooklyn, which makes it good mobile territory. We need level ground, room to move around the vehicle, and weather that lets the urethane cure. Chip repairs and side glass are easy in almost any conditions. A full windshield on a wet or freezing day is the one we may ask you to bring in for.
Bring it in and we will look at where the water is actually coming from, because it is not always the glass. If the seal or the urethane bead has failed, replacing the windshield properly, with the frame cleaned and primed, solves it. If the leak is coming from a cowl drain or a body seam instead, we will tell you that rather than sell you glass that will not stop it.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
