Five minutes from anywhere in the borough. Stockers Glass is at 448 Primos Avenue in Folcroft itself, so this is the one town on the list where leaving the car and walking home is realistic. A chip fill is $60 to $130 and about half an hour. A windshield is $250 to $450 fitted, an hour in the bay and then the drive-away wait. Door, quarter and back glass runs $200 to $500. Open 8:00 to 4:00 Monday to Friday. Call 215-608-1108.

Folcroft is about a mile and a half across, and most of what happens to glass here happens inside that mile and a half. The housing is twins and rows with short driveways, so a household with two cars keeps one of them at the kerb, and the kerb is where it sits from six in the evening until seven the next morning. Planes come over low on the approach to Philadelphia International, close enough that you stop hearing them. The eastern edge of the borough runs out into business-park roads and the flat, low ground beside Darby Creek. Cars here mostly do short trips: the shops on Chester Pike, the station lot, the school run, a shift at the airport or one of the warehouses.
Being the shop in the middle of that changes what we can do about it. You can leave the car with us on Primos Avenue and walk back for it, which nobody from Ridley Park or Lansdowne can do. Common windshields are on the shelf, so an eight o'clock phone call often ends with the car back on the road by lunchtime; anything with a sensor or a camera bracket is checked against the VIN first. The price is agreed before the work starts. Watch the hours, though: 8:00 to 4:00 on weekdays and closed both weekend days, so a Friday night break-in means a taped-up gap and a Monday morning. Older cars and the odd restoration come through here too.
Chester Pike is the spine of the borough: two lanes in each direction, traffic lights close enough together that you never get out of second gear, and a surface every utility in the county has dug up at some point. Primos Avenue sits off it in the residential grid, where the streets are narrow, parked on both sides and quiet after dark. Delmar Drive carries the shopping traffic. Hook Road runs east toward the business park and the flat ground by the creek, and that is where the trucks go. The Folcroft station on the Wilmington line leaves a lot full of unattended cars behind the platform from seven in the morning until half six at night. North of the Pike the ground rises gently toward Glenolden and Collingdale; east of it, everything is flat and close to the water.
“The guys at Stockers Glass are awesome, they are truly glass whisperers. I had them recently do glasswork on my 87 Buick Grand National and it looks incredible. Never go anywhere else for your glass needs other than to Stockers, I certainly will be coming back with my other classics in the future.”
One: Chester Pike. It is the road everybody uses and it has been cut open and patched for decades, and the step where an old repair meets the road is what kicks loose stone up into the car behind. Two: cars left standing. The station lot and the kerbside blocks either side of Primos Avenue give a car eleven unattended hours on a weekday, and a side window is a few seconds of work for somebody who wants what is on the seat. Three: the industrial end. Trucks come off the business-park roads with grit in the tread, drop it on the Pike, and the next car through collects it. Four: the cold snap. Ice on the outside, heat blasting on the inside and somebody in a hurry with a scraper is how a $60 to $130 chip fill turns into a $250 to $450 windshield every January.
From anywhere in Folcroft it is two or three turns. Get onto Chester Pike, come into the middle of the borough and turn into the residential streets on the Primos Avenue side; we are at 448, and there is room to leave the car. From the station lot it is a short run up and across. From the business-park end, head back west on Hook Road to the Pike and turn in there. If the glass is bad enough that you would rather not drive it at all, you are close enough that the van makes sense even for half a mile, so call 215-608-1108 and tell us where the car is standing. We are open 8:00 to 4:00 Monday to Friday.
Stockers Glass works across Folcroft and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Call first, even from two streets away. Two minutes on the phone with the year, make, model and ideally the VIN settles three things at once: whether your pane is in the building, what the figure is, and how much of the day it takes. That is a better use of two minutes than a wasted trip. A chip fill at $60 to $130 can often be done while you wait. We are a small shop on weekday hours, 8:00 to 4:00, so the diary fills from the front. 215-608-1108.
Cover the opening from the inside, corner to corner, with anything waterproof you can tape flat, and move the car under cover if you have anywhere to put it. Leave the broken glass exactly where it fell; running a household vacuum over it drives fragments down inside the door where nobody can reach them, and that is the part that costs time later. Call at 8:00 on Monday. Door glass is $200 to $500 fitted and the cleanup, including inside the door, is part of the job.
It is the time the urethane bonding a new windshield needs before the glass can take a crash load, and it is a real number rather than a formality: the screen is a structural part of the car and the airbag on the passenger side works against it. The fitting itself is about an hour. We give you a specific time to wait rather than a vague one, and because we close at 4:00 it is worth arriving in the morning if you want to drive the car home the same day.
