$200 to $500 covers it, and where your car lands in that range is fairly predictable. A plain front door pane on a common sedan sits at the bottom. Rear door and quarter glass sits a little above it. Back glass with a defroster grid, and any laminated side pane, sits at the top. Front door glass for the cars that fill these blocks is the pane most likely to be on hand, so call 215-608-1108 first thing and same-day is a normal answer.

Stock is not random. The panes kept on hand are the ones that get broken most often on the vehicles that are actually parked around here, which in practice means front door glass for the common sedans and small SUVs. That is why the answer to the same-day question changes so much depending on the car and the opening. A driver's door pane on a mainstream sedan is often a matter of hours. A rear quarter pane on an older wagon may be a day or two, because nobody stocks a shape that fits one body style from one manufacturer.
So the phone call does most of the useful work. Year, make, model, which side, front or rear door, and whether it is a moving window or a fixed pane. From that you get the price and a realistic time, and neither of them changes when you arrive. If the car has to wait for the glass, cover it properly rather than optimistically. Contractor-weight plastic, cut oversize, fitted into the aperture from inside and taped where the door shuts against the body rather than on the outer skin. A bin bag stretched over the outside lasts about one journey and one night of rain. Leave the seats alone until the car comes in, because vacuuming pushes cubes further into the rails and under the carpet edges than they would ever have got by themselves.
“Called him in the morning, he called back and I went at lunch to get the window replaced. Fast, east for me. Excellent work, good price. Would use him again, no worries!”

Almost everything here parks on the street, so a broken side window in Fern Rock is a pavement problem as well as a car problem. The cubes do not stay under the vehicle: they scatter across the footway and into the gutter line, and these blocks are walked hard, to the transportation center in the morning and to the schools twice a day. Clearing the footway is the one bit of tidying worth doing at the scene, even though the inside of the car is better left alone. The other Fern Rock reality is that the car is often the only one in the household, so the priority is getting it back on the road the same day rather than perfectly convenient. Say that on the phone and the job gets slotted accordingly.

For a short trip in dry weather, generally yes, and eight minutes up Ogontz Avenue is a short trip. Put a towel over the seat rather than sitting on cubes, drive with the remaining windows up so there is less turbulence pulling glass around the cabin, and take it steadily. In heavy rain or if there is glass across the driver's seat, it is better to cover the opening and arrange for the van to come to you, which is charged at the same rate as bringing it in.
Because it is a more specified part. A rear pane normally has heating elements fired into it, often an aerial too, and sometimes an aperture for a wiper spindle or a high brake light. Every one of those features narrows the range of vehicles the pane fits, which pushes it toward the top of the $200 to $500 band. A plain front door window on a common car has none of it and far more supply behind it. Both figures get confirmed against your specific vehicle before anything is ordered.
