Larchmont is roughly twenty minutes east of 323 Washington Street, and most jobs there are done by the mobile unit rather than at the shop. Chip repairs take half an hour in your driveway, and windshields are booked as a morning or afternoon slot with the glass confirmed in advance.

Larchmont sits far enough out that we treat it as van territory, and the village layout makes that the sensible choice anyway. Between Palmer Avenue and the manor streets running down toward the water, almost every house has somewhere to put a car off the road, and the drive to Mount Vernon is long enough that nobody wants to make it twice in a day.
So the arrangement is straightforward. Tell us the year, make and model, we confirm the exact pane by VIN, and the technician arrives with the right glass rather than something that nearly fits. Chip repairs are quick enough to do while you carry on with the morning. Windshields need the safe drive-away time before the car moves, so we book them with enough room in the day that nobody is watching a clock and nobody is tempted to release a car early. If the weather turns before your slot, we will move it rather than set glass in the rain, and we will call you rather than leave you guessing.
The Boston Post Road cuts across the top of the village carrying through traffic and every truck kept off the parkways, while Palmer Avenue runs parallel and handles a lot of the local movement past the Metro-North platform. Chatsworth Avenue is the village's short commercial street, busy at school run times and quiet by mid-morning. South of the tracks, the manor streets narrow considerably as they wind toward Long Island Sound, with mature planting, stone gateposts and driveways that arrive at the road at unhelpful angles. Interstate 95 runs just north of everything, which is where most of the highway miles happen, and Weaver Street carries traffic up toward the Scarsdale side. Salt air off the water is a genuine factor here, and it shows up in the condition of older window seals more than anywhere else we work.
“If you are looking for an old school glazier then this is the place. I have used them for years from cutting glass to go on tables, with the nice beveled edge to most recently replacing the double pane glass and gasket in an ancient…”
Highway stone is the first source, picked up on the interstate or the Post Road and delivered at speed to whoever is following. It leaves the small star chips that fill well if they are dealt with promptly. The second is the tree canopy over the manor streets, which drops limbs in the storms that come off the Sound and does not leave a repairable mark when it lands on glass. The third is quieter and more common than people think: old rubber around a fixed quarter light or a rear window slowly hardens in salt air, water finds its way past it, and by the time anyone notices there is a damp headliner and a seal that needs the glass out to fix properly. We would rather look at that early than after a winter of it.
If you would rather bring the car in, the practical route is west on the Post Road through New Rochelle and into Mount Vernon, then east across the older commercial blocks to Washington Street. Twenty to twenty-five minutes depending on the lights along Route 1. The parkway alternatives are quicker in a passenger car and closed to anything with commercial plates, so a work vehicle should plan the surface route from the outset. Most Larchmont customers skip the drive entirely. A driveway with room to open both doors and a reasonably level surface is all the van needs, and mobile work carries the same glass and the same workmanship warranty as anything done on our floor.
Subitzky Glass & Mirror Co Inc works across Mount Vernon and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Not for the standard jobs. The price is set by your vehicle and the glass it takes, not by the mileage from Mount Vernon. What distance changes is scheduling: we group outer appointments so the van is not crossing the county twice in a morning, which sometimes means offering you a slot on a particular day rather than the next available hour.
Yes, with two caveats we will be honest about. Rain has to stay off the bond line, so steady weather cancels or moves the appointment. And a strong onshore wind carrying grit is not ideal while a fresh bead is exposed. A garage or a carport removes both problems, and a sheltered driveway usually handles it fine.
It is exactly what this shop has always done. A leak around fixed glass is usually a failed seal rather than a failed pane, and fixing it properly means removing the glass, cleaning the frame back to a sound surface and resetting it. We will tell you whether the existing glass can be reused before quoting, because often it can.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
