$200 to $500 replaces a broken door or back window, and once the correct pane is in hand the fitting takes about an hour. Ring first thing, since we open at 7:30 and close at 4:00, and a morning call from Salem is usually a same-day fix because the common panes are stocked rather than ordered. Ring 215-608-1108 with the year, make, model and which window, and you will be told on that call whether the pane is here or coming in the morning.

On the older blocks in the middle of Salem the cars sleep at the curb, because the houses went up long before anyone was planning for two vehicles per household. That is the single biggest factor in how often this call comes in, and it is why the pattern is so consistent: the damage happens overnight and the phone rings between half seven and nine. A car with a window gone is rarely only a car with a window gone, either. The column shroud, the glove box and the door cards get pulled about in the same few minutes, so it is worth looking over the rest of the interior before deciding the glass is the whole job.
Fitting a replacement is quick when the pane is on the shelf, and the common door and back glass for the vehicles around here is exactly what is kept. The card comes off, the regulator gets checked because it often took the hit too, the run channels are cleared, and the new pane is hung and set so it seals square through its full travel. Then the vacuuming, cabin and door cavity both. Tempered glass fails into thousands of blunt cubes and they get everywhere; the ones left inside a door find their way back into the glass run within days and mark the new pane. That is the part of this job that is invisible when it is done right and unmistakable when it is skipped.

The drive is the local wrinkle. Fifteen minutes with a bag taped over a door opening is doable but grim in bad weather, and at speed on Route 49 a plastic sheet does not stay put; it flogs, it lets water in and it usually comes loose halfway. So a Salem call gets triaged differently from a local one. If the pane is in stock, come straight up and it is done this morning. If it is not, we would rather send the van than have you drive up, sit, and drive back. Either way, say where the car is parked and whether it is safe to leave, because a vehicle standing open on a city street overnight is a second problem waiting to happen and it changes what gets prioritised.
Same service, same price, other Penns Grove neighborhoods:
For a fifteen-minute run, tape it on the inside of the opening rather than stretched across the outside, and use something heavier than a bin bag if you have it. Plastic on the outside catches air at speed, tears loose and takes the tape with it, and half the time it ends up funnelling water into the door rather than keeping it out. If the driver's window is the one that went, be aware of the crosswind noise and the fact that you will not hear much. If the car is genuinely unpleasant or unsafe to drive like that, say so and the van comes to you instead.
It can be either, and it is worth knowing before you are quoted. Sometimes the pane has simply come off its clamps and the regulator is fine, which is a small job. Sometimes the regulator cable or the plastic slider has failed and the glass is intact, which is not a glass job at all. And sometimes a break took both. The door card has to come off to tell, so describe what you heard and whether the motor still runs when you press the switch, and you will get an honest range rather than a firm number over the phone.
