Park Hill drivers are about six minutes from our shop at 91 Yonkers Avenue, down the slope and back north on South Broadway. We replace windshields in roughly an hour, fit door, quarter and rear glass the same day when the part is in the region, and bring the van up the hill when the street is easier than the drive.

Anyone who has parked on Park Hill knows the routine: find the flattest stretch you can, cut the wheels, and hope the car above you did the same. The streets here switch back across the slope between retaining walls, and driveways cut into the hillside meet the road at an angle that scrapes anything low. It is a beautiful place to live and a demanding place to keep a car intact, and the glass work that comes off this hill reflects that.
We handle the whole car, not only the front. A windshield replacement here runs about an hour on the bench plus the adhesive's safe drive-away time, in the $250 to $450 range for most vehicles. Side and rear glass runs $200 to $450 depending on the pane, and that includes vacuuming every shard out of the door, the seat rails and the carpet. Quarter windows and vent panes on older cars, the sort of piece other shops shrug at, are the kind of thing this bench has been cutting glass for since long before the auto work started.
Park Hill rises sharply behind South Broadway, and the roads deal with the grade by curving across it rather than climbing it head on. Park Hill Avenue and the streets branching off it wind between stone retaining walls, mature trees and a mix of Victorian houses and older apartment buildings, with the Hudson and the Palisades opening up behind you as you climb. Parking is a series of small compromises: short kerbs, driveways at awkward angles, and stretches where cars sit half on a slope. Getting down to Riverdale Avenue or South Broadway means a descent with blind bends and cars parked on both sides, which is a slow business at the best of times and a genuinely bad one with a cracked windshield glaring in low afternoon sun. Drivers here learn the two or three routes off the hill that work and stop experimenting.
“Glass & Mirror Inc. is one of the finest company's I have ever done business with. All the staff is personable, knowledgeable and solution orientated. I purchased a sliding glass shower door which was installed by Brandon, who really…”
Gravity supplies most of the trouble up here. After heavy rain, grit and small stones wash down the hill streets and collect at the bends, then get thrown up by the next set of tires; the car following gets it in the windshield. The tree cover is heavy and old, so branches, acorns and frozen twigs come down onto parked cars through the winter, and a solid limb on a rear window is a replacement, not a repair. Steep driveway aprons take their own toll, since a car dropping over the lip flexes on the body and any crack already in the windshield lengthens a little each time. Add the temperature swing between a shaded hillside street and a sunlit one, and glass that was fine in October gives up in January.
Take whichever route down the hill you trust in traffic and get onto South Broadway or Riverdale Avenue, head north to Getty Square, then turn east onto Yonkers Avenue. We are at number 91 within two blocks, and the whole run is about six minutes outside rush hour. If the windshield is cracked badly enough that the descent worries you, do not attempt it: the mobile unit carries glass, primer and urethane up the hill and charges no more than the shop does. For a flat working spot, a driveway or the level end of your street is ideal, and we will let you know if the weather means rescheduling.
G & M Glass & Mirror works across Yonkers and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Almost always. The van needs a legal spot near the car and enough room to open the doors and work at the glass line. If your block is one of the tighter switchbacks, we will often ask you to meet us at the wider end of the street or in a nearby driveway. Tell us the address when you book and we will say straight away whether it works.
If the rear glass has shattered into pebbles, yes, that is tempered glass and it cannot be repaired. We match the exact back glass for your model, including the defroster grid and any antenna connection, vacuum the trunk and rear seats out completely, and reconnect everything so the defrost works as it did before.
Plan on about an hour of installation and roughly another hour before it is safe to drive. We do not shorten that, because the urethane bond is what keeps the glass in place in a collision. For the first day, avoid the car wash, leave a window cracked, and close doors gently rather than slamming them.
