About five miles, fifteen to eighteen minutes, straight down Limekiln Pike. Glenside is outside our home patch, so it is either that drive to 6800 Ogontz Avenue or a mobile visit to your driveway. Chip fills are $60 to $130 and roughly half an hour. Windshields are $250 to $450 fitted. Side, quarter and back glass is $200 to $500. Open 9 to 5 Monday to Saturday, closed Sunday. Call 215-608-1108.

Glenside has a straighter road to us than its distance suggests. Limekiln Pike runs from the township down across Cheltenham Avenue and into West Oak Lane a few blocks from the shop, which makes the drive a single road rather than a route to memorise. That matters, because the other option for Glenside is the van, and knowing that the shop trip is genuinely fifteen minutes changes how people decide. A chip fill is not worth a call-out when the drive is that simple; a windshield on a working weekday probably is.
What we see from Glenside is a village-plus-suburb mix. The blocks around the station and the theatre are tight, with kerb parking and short driveways, and cars there get clipped and occasionally broken into. Further out it is detached houses, long drives and heavy tree cover, where the story is chips collected on Easton Road that nobody notices until winter. The university traffic adds a layer of its own during term: more cars parked on residential streets than those streets were designed for, more manoeuvring in tight space, and a steady trickle of mirror glass and quarter lights. Ring 215-608-1108 with the vehicle details and you will get a price and a decision on van versus drive in one call.
Easton Road is the main north-south route through the township, carrying the shopping and commuter traffic, with Glenside Avenue and Mount Carmel Avenue crossing it and Keswick Avenue running through the village centre by the station and the theatre. Limekiln Pike leaves the western side and runs south-east across Cheltenham Township to the city line, which is the road that brings you to us. Waverly Road and the lanes around the university are narrower, curved and shaded, with kerb parking that fills during term time. Low railway bridges cross several of the local roads, which keeps taller vehicles on specific routes and concentrates truck traffic onto Easton Road and the Pike rather than spreading it evenly.
“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, Easton Road, where the through traffic, the retail turnings and the patched kerb lane put stone into the air all day. Two, the term-time parking pressure around the campus and the station, which crams cars onto streets with no spare width; mirrors and quarter lights are the usual casualties, and the occasional overnight break-in follows the same map. Three, the tree canopy over the residential lanes, dropping limbs and seed onto cars on driveways, especially after a summer storm. Four, freeze-thaw on cars kept outside, which is what finally runs the chips collected on the Pike and Easton Road months earlier. Five, grit tracked onto the road at the bridge underpasses, which collects in the low points.
Limekiln Pike is the answer. Pick it up on the western side of Glenside and follow it south-east across Cheltenham Township, over Cheltenham Avenue and into the city, then cut across on 72nd Avenue or Washington Lane to Ogontz Avenue and turn down to 68th. Five miles, fifteen to eighteen minutes without a queue. If you are on the eastern side near Easton Road, drop south to Cheltenham Avenue and run west from there instead. If you would rather not make the trip at all, the van covers Glenside on planned visits; say so when you ring and we will book a morning.

Drive down. A fill is $60 to $130 and about half an hour, and the whole point is that it stops there. Waiting means a $250 to $450 windshield, and around here the wait is usually short: cars kept outside through a Montgomery County winter, on roads with plenty of loose stone, do not sit on a chip for long. If the damage is smaller than a quarter, away from the edge and not in your direct view, it is a repair. Bigger or in the eyeline and it is not.
Ring 215-608-1108 with the year, make and model and get the glass ordered the same day; for common vehicles it can be here within hours. It is $200 to $500 fitted. Tape plastic across the opening from the inside for the drive down and do not try to clean the interior first. Tempered glass ends up inside the door skin and under the seat runners, and clearing those out properly is part of what you are paying for.
Yes. The screens are larger and sometimes need a second pair of hands, but the pricing works the same way: $250 to $450 for a fitted windshield depending on the vehicle and the glass, $200 to $500 for door, quarter and rear glass. What matters is telling us exactly which model and body style it is when you ring, because a panel van and a crew cab of the same name often take different glass. The VIN settles it.
