Ten minutes north, straight up Route 49 or Route 130. Pennsville is a driveway township, which makes it the easiest place we take the van: we need about the space of one parked car and a dry forecast. Chip repairs are $60 to $130 and take thirty minutes. Windshields are $250 to $450 fitted, with safe drive-away time after the hour of work. A smashed door, quarter or back window is $200 to $500. Call 215-608-1108.

Pennsville is laid out the way a post-war township is: streets of single-family houses running back off Broadway, most with a driveway and a good number with a garage or a carport. That changes what happens to glass here compared with the older boroughs up the road. Cars are off the street overnight, break-ins are a smaller part of the story, and nearly everything we see is road damage and weather damage collected during the day rather than something that happened while the owner was asleep.
A lot of that day is spent going somewhere else. Pennsville sits at the foot of the Delaware Memorial Bridge, and a large share of the township drives into Delaware for work, which means a bridge deck, an interstate and a plaza twice a day, five days a week. The river adds its own trick: on cold mornings, fog sits in the low ground along the west side of the township, and a windshield that is already chipped does not enjoy a heater on full against a screen running with condensation. The useful part is that we are ten minutes away and the van is down here most weeks. If the car has a driveway and the weather is dry, you may not have to move it at all. Call 215-608-1108 and we will tell you which way is quicker.
Broadway is Route 49 and it runs the full length of the township, north to the Deepwater interchange and south toward Salem, carrying the shops, the fuel stops and most of the turns off it. I-295 and the Turnpike run parallel to the east, and the bridge approach sits at the top end. West of Broadway the roads get older and quieter. Fort Mott Road and the lanes out toward the river run past marsh, farm ground and the state park, with soft shoulders, no lighting and loose stone where the tarmac gives out. They are pleasant roads to drive and hard roads on glass, because everything a tyre picks up off that shoulder goes straight at whatever is following. Most Pennsville cars use both kinds of road in the same trip.
“The customer service and attention to detail is amazing! We own a landscaping company, and rocks happen. PG Glass is on it! They take care of my clients quickly and cleanly. I've never had a complaint.”
Commuter mileage first. A daily crossing of the bridge and a run on the interstate puts a car behind trucks on concrete for an hour a day, and concrete expansion joints and truck stone between them account for most of the windshields we replace here. Second, the shoulder gravel on the river lanes west of Broadway, where a vehicle coming the other way drops a wheel off the edge and flings loose stone across the carriageway at you. Third, thermal shock: a car parked out in river fog overnight, then a defroster on full to clear it, which is enough to run an existing chip out into a crack before you have left the driveway. Fourth, night-time debris and deer on the unlit roads on the west side, where there is nothing to light the road but your own headlights.
North on Broadway, which is Route 49, to the Deepwater interchange, then pick up Route 130 north and follow it a couple of miles into Penns Grove. Turn west into the borough and we are at 304 North Virginia Avenue. Ten minutes for most of the township, a little more from the Fort Mott end. I-295 north for one junction and then Route 130 is the same journey and marginally faster if Broadway is backed up at the lights. Coming back, the reverse works without touching the bridge traffic at all, which is the point of using Route 130 rather than the interstate.
Penns Grove Glass works across Penns Grove and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Almost certainly. Pennsville driveways are the easiest access we deal with: level, off the road, and usually wide enough that we can open a door fully and stand alongside the glass. What we need from you is dry weather on the day and a car that will not be needed for a couple of hours afterwards while the urethane cures. If a second vehicle normally sits behind the first, move it before we arrive and leave us the space nearest the street.
No, leave it. Tempered glass shatters into thousands of blunt cubes that get into the parcel shelf, the seat backs, the boot channels and the rear door seals, and sweeping only presses them further in. Cover the opening with plastic and tape so the interior stays dry. Clearing the vehicle out properly is part of the job when we replace the glass, $200 to $500 fitted depending on the vehicle and whether it is heated.
If you are heading over the bridge for a shift, ring us the day before on 215-608-1108 and we will sort out the keys. A lot of Pennsville customers leave the car with us on the way to work in Delaware and pick it up on the way home; we close at 4 on weekdays, so that only works if your day finishes before then. Saturday we are open 8 until noon, and Sunday we are closed.
