I found my driver side window busted out one morning when
I was due to fly out of town that evening (fortunately,
there really wasn't anything taken). Since it's not a
good idea to leave a Mercedes parked in Queens for a few
days with a window missing, I panicked. I called a major
nationwide glass place and they quoted me a pretty
reasonable price, but they couldn't take me in until the
next day - not an option, since I wouldn't be in-town.
I brushed some of the broken glass off the seat and
decided to drive around 21st street, looking for a glass
repair place. I stopped at the first place I saw, which
turned out to be this one, LIC Auto Glass & Tire (after
stopping I saw that there were about 5 places in a row
that do auto glass), which looked a little, well...let's
say "fly by night".
They said they could fix the window in 2 hours for less
than HALF of what the major glass repair place charged.
It seemed too good to be true, and given that this shop
with no real sign (that I could tell) and a slightly shady
feel to it, I'm almost not sure why I felt it was OK to
leave my keys with them without a real receipt of any sort.
Fortunately, it wasn't at all "too good to be true". They
called me in less than two hours to say that it was
ready. They even charged me slightly less than the
original quote. The window was perfectly-matched and
properly installed. They even vacuumed out all of the
broken glass from the original window. I was able to make
my flight, pay an EXTREMELY reasonable price, and end up
being able to look at the whole "got my car broken into"-
experience pretty much a non-event.
These guys deserve to be on Car Talk users' radars.
