$200 to $500 and normally under an hour once the pane is in hand, with the common door and back glass kept on the shelf. The most useful thing you can do in the first ten minutes costs nothing: photograph the car before touching anything, leave the glass where it fell, and call 215-608-1108 with the year, make, model and which window. From Olde Richmond the shop is about five minutes down Aramingo Avenue.

The order things happen in matters more than people expect. Photograph the damage from outside and inside before anything is moved, because if you are claiming on comprehensive an adjuster would rather see the pane as it broke than a car that has already been swept out. If you are going to report it, do that before the repair rather than after, and keep the reference number. Then leave the glass alone. Sweeping the seats by hand pushes cubes deeper into the seat rails and down the belt line into the door skin, which is exactly where they are hardest to retrieve and where they do the most damage over the following year.
After that it is a short call. Year, make, model, which window, and whether the car is drivable decide everything else: whether the pane is on the shelf or has to be collected, whether you are dropping the car off or the van is coming to you, and what time today it can be done. Most cars called in when the shop opens at eight are sealed again by early afternoon. The rest of it, vacuuming the cabin and the inside of the door, checking the regulator carrier is not bent, clearing the drain holes and setting the pane square to the seal, is part of the job rather than an extra line on the invoice.
“Rich is amazing! Helped me with a broken window. He was able to get me in same day and did beautiful work at an incredible price point. I literally tell everyone now to go to him if they need anything done.”

Olde Richmond has a particular geography for this. It is a neighborhood in the middle of being rebuilt, so alongside the occupied rowhouse streets there are half-finished blocks, fenced lots and stretches near the I-95 approach that are completely dark and completely empty after midnight. A car left on those edges sits in a different category of risk from one outside a lit front window, and contractors' pickups left on site overnight see more of it again. The counterweight is the garages: plenty of the newer houses have one, and a car behind a door is essentially out of this conversation. If yours was hit overnight and it still drives, the run down Aramingo Avenue is short enough that the day does not have to be written off.

It comes down to your deductible against the price of the job. Broken side and rear glass sits under comprehensive, and most of these repairs land between $200 and $500, so if your deductible is $500 there is nothing to claim and you are better off paying it directly. If it is low or waived for glass, claiming makes sense. The practical order is to get the exact figure for your car first, then decide, which is why the price is settled on the phone rather than at the end.
Not a problem, but tell us anyway, because it changes nothing about the door. Whatever you cleared off the seats and the carpet, a large share of the glass went down inside the door skin the moment the pane broke, and that has to come out regardless of how tidy the cabin looks. So the card still comes off, the cavity still gets vacuumed and the drain holes still get checked. The only thing that changes is that we know not to spend time on interior sweeping you have already done.
