Five minutes and about a mile and a half. Sharon Hill sits directly north-east of the shop with Chester Pike joining the two, so most people drive it without thinking about it. Chip fills are $60 to $130 and take half an hour. Windshields are $250 to $450 fitted. Door, quarter and back glass runs $200 to $500, usually the same day. We are at 448 Primos Avenue in Folcroft, open 8:00 to 4:00 weekdays. Call 215-608-1108.

Sharon Hill is a crossing point, and it drives like one. The 102 trolley from 69th Street finishes its run at the borough loop, buses turn where the routes meet, the regional rail platform takes commuters into the city, and Chester Pike carries county traffic straight through the middle of all of it. For a borough of this size there is an unusual amount of stopping, starting and turning going on, and a lot of it happens within a few hundred yards. Behind the main road, the residential half is rows and twins on streets with parking down both sides and just about enough width left for one moving car.
What that adds up to for glass is a lot of low-speed damage and a lot of overnight damage, and not much in between. Stone off a bus or a truck at twenty-five miles an hour still stars a screen. A car left at the kerb on a quiet street, or in the station lot for a working day, is the one that loses a window. Both are worth dealing with quickly and both are a five-minute drive from the shop. Call 215-608-1108 with the year, make, model and the VIN if you have it, and you will know the price and the timing before you turn the key. If the car is not fit to move, say so and we will bring the van instead.
Chester Pike splits the borough and takes everything through it, county traffic, buses and delivery vans, with lights close enough together that the trip is mostly braking. The 102 trolley from 69th Street ends its run here, so there are rails, a loop and a great deal of turning movement at that end of town. Sharon Avenue and the streets off it are the residential half: rows and twins, parking on both kerbs, and one usable lane down the middle. The regional rail station adds a lot of cars that nobody looks at between eight in the morning and six at night. Hook Road heads out east toward the flat industrial ground and the creek, taking the trucks that would rather not sit on the Pike.
“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.”
The commonest cause here is simply following something heavy. Chester Pike through Sharon Hill is stop-start behind buses and box trucks, and grit thrown off a tyre from a car length away will star a windshield at any speed. Next is the overnight break-in on the residential streets, where kerbside parking is the only option and a rear door window is the quickest thing on the block to take. Third is the patched surface around the trolley loop and the crossings, where rails, plates and repeated repairs put a hard knock through the car at the same spot every day and run a chip that had been sitting still. Fourth is the station lot, ten hours of nobody watching, five days a week.
Come down Chester Pike toward Folcroft, cross the borough line, and turn off the Pike into the grid where Primos Avenue sits; we are at 448. It is a mile and a half and two or three sets of lights. From the Sharon Avenue end, drop south to the Pike first rather than trying to cut through the grid, which is one-way in places and slower than it looks. From the trolley loop, the Pike is right in front of you. Five minutes on a normal morning, ten if a bus is loading. If you would rather not move the car at all, the van is a short run from here: call 215-608-1108 with the block and we will come to it.
Stockers Glass works across Folcroft and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Drive in for a chip. Half an hour, $60 to $130, and you can sit in the shop for the whole of it, which is the quickest way to have it behind you. Have us come out if a window is already gone, if there is glass across the seats, or if the windshield has cracked far enough that you would not want to take it over the bumps on the Pike. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will say plainly which makes more sense that day.
Yes, in the sense that a replacement screen normally comes with the shade band the car left the factory with, along with the same green or grey tint in the glass itself. What varies more is the extras built into it: an acoustic interlayer, a heated wiper park, a bracket for a camera. Give us the year, make, model and VIN and we will tell you exactly which version we are quoting before you agree to anything.
Yes. Quarter lights, vent glass and the small fixed panes behind the rear doors are all part of the same job, and they sit in the same $200 to $500 band as door and back glass depending on the car. Most of them are glued into the aperture rather than riding up and down on a mechanism, so the work is a different shape from a door window even though the money lands in the same range. Availability is the thing to check first, so call 215-608-1108 with the details.
