Four miles down Cheltenham Avenue, about fifteen minutes, or we bring the van to you. Cheltenham sits outside our immediate neighbourhood, so most jobs here go one of two ways: a mobile visit to your own driveway, or a straight run west on Cheltenham Avenue to the shop at 6800 Ogontz Avenue. Windshields are $250 to $450 fitted, chip fills $60 to $130, side and back glass $200 to $500. Call 215-608-1108.

Cheltenham is far enough out that the van does most of the talking. It is a township of driveways and detached garages, quiet streets and the kind of parking where a technician can work alongside a car without anybody having to move three others first, which is exactly what mobile glass work wants. The typical call is somebody who noticed a crack when they got home, does not want to lose half a working day to it, and would rather we came to the house on a weekday morning.
What brings those calls is a mix of township roads and creek-side ones. The Tookany Creek Parkway winds through the middle, wooded on both sides, unlit, and narrow enough that anything thrown up by the car in front lands on you rather than on a verge. Ashbourne Road and Church Road carry the through traffic across the township and stay busy from seven in the morning. And Cheltenham Avenue along the city line is four lanes of retail and commuting traffic with a surface that shows it. None of that is dramatic, but it collects chips steadily, and a chip on a car that lives outside a garage in a township with real winters does not stay a chip for long. Ring 215-608-1108 with the year, make and model and you will get a price and a slot on the same call.
Cheltenham Avenue runs along the southern edge as the boundary with Philadelphia, four lanes, with the retail lots and turnings that go with it. Ashbourne Road and Church Road are the crosstown roads, and Central Avenue and Rowland Avenue thread the older village blocks. The Tookany Creek Parkway follows the creek through the township, a two-lane park road with a tree canopy over it, standing water in the low spots after heavy rain and no shoulder anywhere along it. Old York Road runs up the western side toward Elkins Park. The residential streets are wide, kerbed and shaded, with driveways at almost every property and short front lawns, so cars stand off the street overnight and are visible from the house.
“While driving on Lincoln drive something hit my driver window and my entire window broke into tiny pieces 😩 scariest thing ever! I went to this glass and mirror repair shop around 3;30-4pm. Told the owner my story. He got right on the phone to order my glass and told me he will call me tomorrow morning so I could drop my car off. Keeping his word , He called me 1st thing in the morning to drop my car off and told me it would be ready within the next hour. He called me an hour later to pick up my car! My window looks great as if nothing ever happened! Super fast and cheap! I have a 2015 kia Optima $190 to fix. I am very happy and will be sending folks his way! Black owed as well!!”
One, the creek-side roads. The Parkway and the lanes that run down to it are wooded, narrow and unswept, and between overhanging limbs and grit washed onto the carriageway after rain they account for a good share of the windshield damage we see from Cheltenham. Two, Cheltenham Avenue itself, where four lanes of stop-start commercial traffic and a patched kerb lane throw stone at speed. Three, the freeze-thaw cycle on driveway-parked cars, which is what actually turns those chips into cracks, usually in the first properly cold week of the year. Four, storm damage: this is a heavily wooded township and a summer squall reliably puts a limb through somebody's rear screen. Break-ins are the rarest of the four here.
If you would rather drive it, Cheltenham Avenue is the road: pick it up anywhere along the city line and head west, past Old York Road and across Broad Street, until you reach Ogontz Avenue about four miles along. Turn down Ogontz and we are at 68th Avenue. Fifteen minutes in ordinary traffic, more in the evening peak. From the Ashbourne Road side, drop south to Cheltenham Avenue first rather than working across the grid. If the drive is inconvenient, say so when you ring and we will look at bringing the van to the house instead.
Ogontz Glass & Mirror Co works across West Oak Lane and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
You get told the full figure on the phone before anything is booked, and that includes whatever the visit costs, so there is no surprise on the doorstep. The glass itself is priced the same way it would be in the shop: $60 to $130 for a chip fill, $250 to $450 for a fitted windshield, $200 to $500 for side, quarter or back glass. Ring 215-608-1108 with the year, make and model and you will have the whole number before you decide.
A level spot with room to open the doors fully and stand alongside the glass, which a normal Cheltenham driveway gives you easily. What it also needs is weather: adhesive and glass both behave badly in heavy rain or a hard frost, and working under a dripping tree is worse than useless. If the forecast is against us we will move the slot rather than do a job that will not last, or you can bring the car down to the shop instead.
A chip fill is about half an hour, start to finish. A windshield is roughly an hour of work, and then the car has to sit for the safe drive-away time before it is driven, which you will be given as a specific figure for the day and the conditions rather than a guess. Plan on the car staying put for the morning. Side and quarter glass is quicker, and most of that time is getting the broken pieces out of the door properly.
