Canarsie is far enough east that most people would rather we came to them, so the van does the whole windshield in the driveway: 60 to 90 minutes of work, then safe drive-away time. $250 to $450 installed covers most vehicles, more if there is ADAS or luxury glass. The insurer is billed directly and a forward camera gets recalibrated.

A windshield is laminated and structural, which is why we treat the frame as seriously as the glass. On a Canarsie job the van parks in the driveway, the cowl and wipers come off, the old bead gets cut out, and the pinch weld is scraped back and primed so bare metal never sits open to salt air. New moldings and clips go on, never the old ones. Then the fresh urethane bead, then the set, then the cure clock.
Most cars on these blocks fall in the $250 to $450 band installed. A car with a forward camera behind the mirror costs more because the glass is different and the camera has to be recalibrated after the set, and we do that rather than hand you a warning light. Dealer OEM glass can be ordered if you want it, and we quote both so you can see the gap. Sixty to ninety minutes of work, then a wait before you take it out on the Belt Parkway. Quote comes over the phone as a real number. Insurance gets billed directly, and the workmanship warranty lasts as long as you own the car.
“I have not been able to keep my bathroom window open for the past 2 years without having to place something on the base. I didn’t know who to call. I was referred to AVIV and they were here this morning. I didn’t have to wait long for this…”

Distance is the wrinkle here. Nine miles and a Belt Parkway merge each way means a shop appointment eats most of a morning, so the majority of Canarsie windshields we do get done at the house. That works because the housing stock cooperates. Detached houses off East 105th Street and the streets below Flatlands Avenue come with driveways, and a driveway is a better bay than a curb on a bus route. What we ask for is level ground and no rain in the window, since urethane needs dry air to reach full strength. If the sky looks wrong we move the appointment rather than gamble on a seal you will hear whistling at 50 on the parkway. Nobody wants to do this twice.
Same service, same price, other Brooklyn neighborhoods:
That is how most Canarsie windshields get done. We need room to stand along both sides of the car, a fairly level surface so the glass beds evenly, and dry weather for the cure. Driveways out here are usually wide enough. If yours is narrow, the street in front is fine as long as we are not sitting in a bus lane at rush hour.
It will, because we recalibrate it. Cars with a forward camera behind the mirror need the system reset to the new glass, and skipping that step is how lane keeping starts drifting. We handle it as part of the job when your vehicle has it, and we tell you on the phone whether yours does before quoting, so the number you hear is the number you pay.
