Twenty minutes down Route 273, or the van comes to the lot the car is sitting in. Newark work splits two ways: chips picked up on I-95 and Route 896, which fill in about 30 minutes for $60 to $130, and smashed side windows out of apartment parking, which run $200 to $500 fitted with every fragment vacuumed out before you get the keys. A full windshield is $250 to $450. Pro-Bond is at 23 Parkway Circle, New Castle, weekdays 8 to 5. Call 215-608-1108.

Newark has a car population unlike anywhere else we cover. Thousands of them belong to students, which means they are older, they are insured with high deductibles or thin coverage, they get parked in a permit lot or on a side street for months at a time, and they stand through a whole winter break with nobody looking at them. Then there are the households out toward Ogletown and the people working the office parks along Route 4 and Route 273, whose cars do interstate miles every day of the week. Same town, two completely different sets of damage.
The student half calls us about broken side and rear glass, and about chips that quietly became cracks over a semester. The commuter half calls about stone damage off I-95. What both have in common is that the fix is worth doing early and almost nobody does it early. A chip is $60 to $130 and half an hour; the same chip after one January is $250 to $450. And because so much of Newark parks communally, in lots behind apartment blocks and along the streets off Main, the van earns its keep here. Tell us the lot and roughly where the car sits and we work on it there. We are open 8 to 5 on weekdays only, so glass that goes on a Saturday night is a Monday morning job, and tape is the answer in between.
Main Street is the middle of it, one-way through the centre with angled parking, deliveries and people stepping off the kerb without looking. Elkton Road runs south-west out toward the Maryland line, South College Avenue is Route 896 heading down to the Route 40 crossroads at Glasgow, and Christina Parkway links the two around the bottom of the campus. Kirkwood Highway takes the north-east traffic toward Wilmington and Ogletown Road carries the rest across to Route 273 and the hospital. I-95 clips the whole town along its southern edge with the toll plaza and the service plaza just beyond. Between those roads it is student housing and apartment complexes with shared lots, and residential streets where permit parking means kerbside is where the car lives.
“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”
One: I-95. It runs along the bottom of the town, it carries interstate freight all day, and a windshield picked up its chip there more often than anywhere else in Newark. Two: parking-lot break-ins, heavily concentrated in the shared lots behind apartment blocks where a car sits unattended for days. Rear door glass is the usual one, and tempered glass does not crack, it collapses into thousands of pieces that get into the seat rails and the door card. Three: the calendar. Cars left standing over winter break with an unrepaired chip come back to a crack, because nobody was there to catch it at half an hour and $60 to $130. Four: Route 896 and Elkton Road, both of which run past working ground and gravel yards and put grit onto the surface for the next car to throw.
Route 273 is the direct line. Pick it up at Ogletown, head east past the hospital and the Route 7 junction, and stay on it all the way to the DuPont Highway in New Castle; we are a short turn off 13 on Parkway Circle. From the campus and Elkton Road side it is quicker to take Christina Parkway around to Route 4 and join 273 that way. I-95 north to Route 141 works too and is faster off-peak, but it is slower than it looks at five o'clock. Budget twenty minutes, twenty-five in term time. If the car has a window out, do not drive it up the interstate with glass loose in the doors. Call and the van comes to Newark instead.
Pro-Bond Auto Glass works across New Castle and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
Do not sweep it out yourself and do not tape a bin bag over it and hope. A broken side or rear window is $200 to $500 fitted depending on the car and which opening it is, and the cleanup is part of the job, not an extra: tempered glass shatters into thousands of pellets that end up in the seat rails, the door card and the window channel, and if they are left there the new glass grinds on them. Tell us the complex and where the car is parked and the van comes to it.
It depends on whether you carry comprehensive and on your deductible, and honestly a lot of glass jobs land underneath it. A chip fill at $60 to $130 is almost always cheaper than a deductible. A single side window at $200 to $500 often is too. A windshield at $250 to $450 can go either way. We are not going to guess at your policy for you, but we will give you a firm number for the work first so you have something real to compare the deductible against before you make the call.
Yes, and that is the easiest way to schedule it. A chip fill takes about 30 minutes. A windshield is roughly an hour of work, then a safe drive-away time before the urethane will hold the glass in a crash, and we give you that as a specific time rather than a vague wait. Two hours parked is usually plenty. We work weekdays 8 to 5, so pick a gap in the middle of the day rather than the end of it and leave us the keys and a phone number.
