Fifteen minutes, and the van comes out to the house so you do not have to make the trip at all. Red Lion sits on the open ground between Route 13 and Route 1, which means fast roads and stone damage: a chip fill is $60 to $130 and about 30 minutes, a fitted windshield $250 to $450 and roughly an hour plus safe drive-away time, and door, quarter or back glass is $200 to $500. Pro-Bond, 23 Parkway Circle, New Castle, weekdays 8 to 5. Call 215-608-1108.

Red Lion is a crossroads with fields around it that is slowly turning into something else. There are still farms, working ground and long open two-lane roads with no kerbs and no lighting, and there are also newer houses and small developments filling in the gaps between them. Whichever half you live in, the driving is the same: everything is a few miles from everything else, so nobody here walks anywhere, and every trip involves at least a stretch of Route 13 or Route 1 at speed.
Glass work out this way is almost entirely windshields, and almost entirely stone. The roads that feed the crossroads have gravel shoulders and field entrances rather than kerbs, so loose material gets pulled onto the tarmac constantly and stays there. Add the highway miles and you get chips at a rate that surprises people who moved out here from a town. The saving grace is that they are usually clean, single impacts, and a clean single impact away from the edge is a 30-minute repair at $60 to $130 rather than a new screen. Nobody around here wants to spend an hour of their day driving to a shop for that, which is exactly why the van exists. Level ground, dry weather and space to open the doors is all we need, and most properties out here have all three by default.
Red Lion Road is the road the place is named for, running east to the DuPont Highway and west toward Bear, and it is the route most people here use for everything. Route 13 takes the north-south traffic up toward New Castle and the bridge, and Route 1 crosses the area on its way to the canal, so there is a lot of fast movement through a place that has very little of its own. Wrangle Hill Road cuts down to the south-east toward Delaware City. Off those, the lanes are two-lane, unlit, with gravel shoulders and drainage ditches, farm entrances every few hundred yards, and Red Lion Creek running through the low ground. Housing is a mix of old properties on the road and newer clusters set back from it, all of them with driveways.
“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: gravel off the shoulders and the field entrances. There are no kerbs out here, so loose stone migrates onto the tarmac and stays; a car following a pickup on a two-lane lane takes it in the screen. Two: Route 1 and Route 13 at highway speed, where a stone that would chip at forty makes a star at seventy. Three: heavy vehicles, farm equipment and the tippers serving the new building, all of which shed material that ends up on roads with no drains to wash it away. Four: deer. It sounds like a joke to anyone from the city, but around the creek and the field edges at dusk it is a real cause of broken glass, and a deer coming over the hood takes the windshield out entirely rather than chipping it.
Red Lion Road east to the DuPont Highway, then north on Route 13 toward New Castle; Parkway Circle is a short turn off the highway a few minutes before the bridge approach. If you are closer to Route 1, run north on it until it meets Route 13 and pick the highway up there. It is about fifteen minutes and it is a genuinely easy drive, all of it main road with no town centre to get through. Most people out here have us come to them instead, because a windshield takes about an hour and it is the same hour whether the car is in our bay or on your driveway. We are on the road weekdays 8 to 5.

Gravel shoulders and field entrances, mostly. Roads without kerbs and drains keep the loose stone that a town road washes away, so there is always material on the surface for the vehicle in front to throw. It is not usually dramatic, just a bang you half notice. The habit worth building is to look at the screen from outside the car once a week; a chip you find in the first fortnight is a 30-minute fill at $60 to $130, and one you find at the first frost is a $250 to $450 replacement.
Yes. What we need is level ground, room to open the doors fully and stand at the glass, and dry weather so the urethane cures to full strength. A driveway, a yard or a farm track that is not deep in dust all work. What does not work is fitting glass in the rain or with a wind blowing grit across the bond line, so if the weather turns on the day we will reschedule or offer you the shop instead of pressing on and handing you something we would not drive ourselves.
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something. Resin fills a small impact and stops it spreading; it cannot rebuild glass along a crack that has already travelled, and the repair would still be visible and still be weak. Once a crack has run it is a replacement, $250 to $450 fitted, roughly an hour of work plus the safe drive-away time we quote you. If the crack is in your line of sight it is also an inspection and a safety problem, not just a cosmetic one.
