Ten minutes and three and a half miles, down through Darby and out onto Chester Pike. Yeadon sits on the Philadelphia line and most of the damage we see from here was collected on the city side rather than at home. A chip fill is $60 to $130 and half an hour; a windshield is $250 to $450 fitted; side and back glass $200 to $500. We are at 448 Primos Avenue, Folcroft, 8:00 to 4:00 weekdays. Call 215-608-1108.

Yeadon runs right up against the Philadelphia line, and the border here is a road. Cobbs Creek Parkway is on one side, the borough's own streets on the other, and most households cross that line at least twice a day for work, school or shopping. The crossing is where the glass damage comes from, because the roads on the city edge are trenched, patched and thick with buses. At home the picture is calmer than in the boroughs below it, since much of Yeadon is twins and detached houses with drives. But not all of it: the blocks down toward Darby and Colwyn are tighter, park at the kerb, and behave like Darby rather than like the rest of the borough.
That split is why two very different calls come from the same small place. From the Church Lane and Longacre Boulevard side it is usually a chip picked up on somebody else's road, half an hour and $60 to $130 while you wait. From the tighter blocks it is usually side glass after an overnight break-in, $200 to $500 fitted with the shards cleared out of the door skin and the seat rails. Both are quick if you ring early. We are open 8:00 to 4:00 Monday to Friday and shut at weekends, so a Saturday night is a Monday morning. Give us the year, make, model and VIN and you will know the price and the stock position before you choose between driving in and the van.
Church Lane and Baily Road are the borough's working roads, and Longacre Boulevard runs through the middle of the residential half. Lansdowne Avenue crosses the top of Yeadon on its way from Darby up to Lansdowne, and that is the road most people here take to get anywhere south. Cobbs Creek Parkway forms the Philadelphia boundary, with park and creek on the far side of it, and the surface along there stays patched, shaded and damp for most of the winter. The streets in between are wide enough to pass a parked car without holding your breath, which is not true of Darby a mile down the hill, and most houses have a drive. Bus routes and school traffic use the same few roads at the same few times, so the borough is either empty or solid with very little in between.
“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: the roads on the city side of the line. Cobbs Creek Parkway and the streets beyond it are trenched, patched and busy with buses, so a car crossing every day collects stone at low speed and grit at every set of lights. Two: the tighter blocks toward Darby and Colwyn, where cars sleep at the kerb and a rear door window is the easiest thing on the street to take. Three: storms. The mature trees along the boundary and over the older streets drop limbs in a summer squall, and a limb through a back window means the whole pane at $200 to $500 fitted plus getting the pieces out of the boot. Four: the January pattern, a chip that came home in November meeting a scraper and a defroster on the first genuinely cold morning.
Take Lansdowne Avenue or Church Lane down into Darby, then Main Street out onto Chester Pike and south-west through Sharon Hill into Folcroft. We are at 448 Primos Avenue, in the quiet grid behind the Pike. Three and a half miles: ten minutes when Darby is moving, fifteen when it is not, and the slow part is always the middle of Darby rather than either end of the trip. Do not be tempted to go round through the city, which is longer and busier for no gain. If the car has a window out and rain is forecast, call 215-608-1108 first and ask for the van, because Yeadon drives give us the room to work properly.
Stockers Glass works across Folcroft and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Usually. What we need is a legal space with a clear car's width beside the working door, and a dry stretch of weather for the adhesive. On the narrower blocks toward Darby, a space on the wider side of the street makes the difference. Tell us the block when you book and we will say honestly whether it works, rather than arriving and finding out in front of you.
It might, but the thing to know is that we are weekdays only, 8:00 to 4:00, so waiting for a Saturday is not an option here. A chip has no fixed lifespan: what runs it is cold nights, hot defrosters and hard bumps, all of which a Yeadon commute supplies daily through the winter. Half an hour and $60 to $130 taken out of one morning beats a cracked screen, a $250 to $450 bill and safe drive-away time on top.
Door, quarter and back glass runs $200 to $500 fitted, and the range is about the car rather than about the day: a plain drop-down door pane sits at the bottom, something with a defroster grid, an aerial or an unusual shape sits higher. Included is the pane, the fitting, and getting every fragment back out of the door bottom, the runners and the carpet, which is where most of the labour goes. Nothing has to cure afterwards, so you drive away as soon as it is finished.
