Fifteen minutes, or none at all if you would rather we came to you. Bear sits between Route 40 and Route 1 north of the canal, and the van covers all of it, the Route 7 corridor, the Fox Run side and the developments off Wrangle Hill Road, at the same prices as the shop: $60 to $130 for a chip fill, $250 to $450 for a fitted windshield, $200 to $500 for door, quarter or back glass. We are at 23 Parkway Circle in New Castle, weekdays 8 to 5. Call 215-608-1108.

Bear is a driveway town. Almost every house here has one, most have two cars on it, and hardly anybody actually puts a car in the garage. That single habit changes the glass work completely from what we see closer to the river. Cars are not being broken into at the kerb overnight; they are collecting damage on the road, at speed, and then sitting out on a slab of concrete through every freeze and every August afternoon while the owner is at work. The damage arrives as chips, and it usually arrives on the way somewhere.
That is because Bear runs on commuting. The developments feed onto Route 7 and Route 40 and then onto Route 1 or I-95, and a household here can easily put fifty highway miles a day between two cars. Highway miles are stone miles. What people tell us on the phone is almost always the same shape: a bang somewhere north of the Route 1 split, nothing visible for a week, then a mark the size of a pea sitting in the glass. Caught then it is half an hour and $60 to $130. Left through one cold snap with the defroster on full it is a crack across the screen and a $250 to $450 job. Because the driveways here are wide and level, Bear is easy ground for the van, so most people never come to us at all.
Route 40, the Pulaski Highway, runs along the top as a commercial strip: lights every few hundred yards, shopping centre entrances, and heavy truck traffic heading for Elkton and the Maryland line. Route 7, Bear-Christiana Road, is the north-south spine that carries the developments up toward the mall and Route 273. Route 72, Wrangle Hill Road, drops south-east toward Delaware City and the canal. Route 1 crosses the whole area on its way to the high bridge, with the interchange out at the Route 13 split. Off those four roads it is subdivisions: curved streets, cul-de-sacs, mature trees planted when the houses went up, and driveways rather than kerbside parking.
“10/10 will recommend. A+ service and professionalism. My car was vandalize by a man on drugs. He destroyed my windshield, broke my wiper arm and ripped off my door handle. Very unfortunate for me because my insurance didn't cover because the total damages was under the price of my deductible. So I had to come out of pocket. Glory and praises to God Almighty who supply all. I mean I was upset but God gave me the peace and a heart to pray for the individual that damaged my car. But baby, Pro Bond pulled up on time and got right to work. Vacuum up all the glass and told me once I get the wiper arm to give them a call and they will install. I am so appreciative of great business. The icing on the cake was the quoted price of repair was cheaper then 4 other companies that I called. I called Monday they came out to repair on Tuesday and that was only because it rained Monday. I will recommend to all my family and friends”
First and by a long way, commuter stone. Route 1 and I-95 are where Bear cars spend their time, and both carry construction and delivery trucks that shed grit onto a surface everyone is crossing at speed. Second, Route 40. It is the working road here, with loaded trucks pulling in and out of yards and shopping centres, and the stuff that comes off a tyre at a light gets thrown by the next vehicle through. Third, the trees. These developments were planted heavily and thirty years later the limbs are over the driveways, so we get sap, acorns and the occasional branch through a back window after a storm. Fourth, the driveway itself: a chipped windshield left outside all winter, cold glass hit with a hot defroster every morning, cracks on a schedule you could set a watch by.
From the Fox Run and Route 7 side, head north on Route 7 to Route 273 and turn east; 273 runs straight through to the DuPont Highway in New Castle, and we are a short turn off it on Parkway Circle. From the Route 1 and Wrangle Hill end, take Route 1 north to where it meets Route 13, then north on 13 toward the bridge approach. Either way it is about fifteen minutes without traffic and closer to twenty-five if you hit the Route 40 lights at five. If the car is not safe to move, a window gone or glass all through the interior, say so when you call and we will bring the van out to the driveway rather than have you drive it.

Yes, and driveways here are some of the easiest we work on. We need enough room to open the doors fully and stand alongside the glass, level ground, and dry weather so the adhesive cures the way it is supposed to. If a second car normally sits behind the first, leave us the space nearest the street. If the weather turns on the day we would rather move the job into the shop, fifteen minutes away, than rush urethane in the rain, and we will tell you that rather than push on.
Repair, usually, if you get to it quickly. A single impact smaller than a quarter, away from the edge of the glass and out of the driver's direct line of sight, fills in about 30 minutes for $60 to $130 and the windshield keeps its original seal. What rules a repair out is damage at the perimeter, a crack that has already started to run, or several impacts in one area. Those are $250 to $450 fitted. Send us a photo or describe where it sits on the screen and we will tell you which one it is before you drive anywhere.
That is a big part of what the van does, and a business park is easier than a house because the car sits still all day. Leave the keys with reception or with us, tell us roughly where it is parked, and it is done before you finish. We are out on the road weekdays between 8 and 5. A chip fill is half an hour. A windshield is about an hour plus the safe drive-away time we quote you, so plan the last hour of that around when you are actually leaving.
