Wakefield is the closest neighborhood we serve outside Mount Vernon, about eight minutes from the shop across East 241st Street. Chip repairs take half an hour, most windshields are done the same day, and door glass goes in as soon as the pane arrives, usually within hours.

The city line at East 241st Street is a line on a map and not much else in practice. Wakefield drivers shop, work and park on both sides of it, and a great many of them already know where Washington Street is. That short distance is the main thing we offer here: you are not waiting on a technician who has to cross the county to reach you.
Wakefield also has the parking situation that produces the most work. Alternate-side rules keep cars moving from one curb to the other, which means almost every vehicle spends its life on the street rather than in a driveway. Street-parked glass gets hit by passing mirrors, by sanitation equipment, and by anyone who fancies whatever is on the back seat. We deal with all three regularly, and for most common cars the replacement pane is close enough to have on hand the same day you call. That proximity is worth more on a broken window than on almost any other repair a car needs.
White Plains Road is the spine, with the elevated line running above it and the 2 train ending at East 241st Street at the top of the neighborhood. The avenue underneath is a working commercial strip, buses stopping every couple of blocks, delivery trucks double-parked, and the steel columns of the el narrowing the roadway down the middle. Nereid Avenue crosses it and carries a good share of the local traffic. Bronx Boulevard runs along the eastern side toward the parkland and the river. Metro-North's Harlem Line has a platform up at the city line as well, so there are two very different rail options within walking distance of each other. Side streets are lined with two-family houses and parked cars nose to tail, with driveways too short for most of what people actually drive.
“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…”
Life under and beside the el is hard on glass. Traffic on White Plains Road threads between the support columns with very little clearance, and a bus or a box truck passing close throws grit at windshield height. The pavement around those columns is patched constantly, and the jolt from a bad joint is exactly what turns an existing chip into a crack. Then there is the parking. Cars sit on the curb overnight every night here, and a window broken for a bag on the seat is a routine Monday morning for us. Winter adds the plow, which sprays a mix of salt and stone across every parked car on the block. None of it is exotic, and all of it is fixable the same day.
Wakefield is the shortest run we get. Come north on White Plains Road, cross East 241st Street into Mount Vernon, and work your way over to the older commercial blocks where the shop stands. Eight to ten minutes without traffic, and it is all surface street, so the parkway restrictions on commercial plates never come into it. If your car is not safe to move with the damage it has, or if losing your parking space is a bigger problem than the glass, the van comes to you and the price is the same as the shop floor. Alternate-side days are worth mentioning when you book.
Subitzky Glass & Mirror Co Inc works across Mount Vernon and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
In most cases yes, provided the car is legally parked and there is a little room behind it. Curbside jobs work best when we are not fighting the alternate-side clock, so tell us your street's days and we will schedule around them. If the block is genuinely too tight, the eight-minute drive to the shop is usually the simpler answer.
Same day for most common vehicles. Tempered side glass moves through the regional supply quickly, so a car broken into overnight is generally back together before evening. We take the door panel off when we need to, vacuum every cube out of the track and the carpet, then run the window up and down a few times to be sure the regulator is clean.
No. Wakefield sits closer to our door than several of the Westchester towns we cover, so there is no trip charge and no different rate. What you pay is set by the vehicle and the glass it needs, not by which side of East 241st Street you happen to park on. You get the same price quoted whether you drive over or we drive to you.
Tell us the vehicle and the glass that's damaged — you'll see your price instantly, and we'll hold it for you.
