Yes. Jimmy's Glass works out of 137 Palisade Avenue, so Cliffside Park is our own block. Walk-in chip repairs usually take under half an hour, most windshields go in and cure the same day, and our van covers the hillside streets where double-parking makes a driveway job easier than a drop-off.

Most of the cars that come through our door were on the George Washington Bridge approach earlier that week. That is the plain truth of running a glass shop on the Palisades ridge: Cliffside Park drivers spend their mornings in the stack-up for the upper level and their evenings crawling back down Anderson Avenue, and the stone chips add up. A pit the size of a pencil eraser on Tuesday is a twelve-inch crack by Friday once the defroster hits it.
We have been on Palisade Avenue long enough that a fair share of the borough has been here twice, usually with a different car the second time. Nothing about the place is fancy. You get a price before we touch the vehicle, glass matched to your year and model, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on the install. Bring the part yourself if you already ordered one and we will set it. If the walk to the shop is the problem, say so on the phone and we will send the van up the hill instead.
Cliffside Park is barely a mile wide and most of it runs uphill. Anderson Avenue carries the borough's shops and its buses, Palisade Avenue runs the ridge a few blocks over, and Gorge Road drops off the cliff toward River Road in a set of curves that eat brake pads. Route 5 comes up from Edgewater and feeds traffic onto the same grid. Parking is the daily fight: narrow side streets, two-family houses with one curb cut, and apartment garages under the Winston Towers high-rises that stand on the old Palisades Amusement Park land. Plenty of people here do not drive into Manhattan at all. They walk to a stop on Anderson and ride the bus toward the bridge, which means a car can sit at the curb for days with a cracked windshield before anyone deals with it.
“Needed a piece of plexiglass cut, and they got me in and out in 15 minutes. The place inside is certainly not the prettiest, but they are efficient and got me exactly what I needed for a good price. Thank you Jimmy’s Glass!”
The bridge approach is the main culprit. Trucks queue on the Route 4 and Route 46 ramps, grind loose stone off the shoulders, and fling it at whatever is behind them; you take the hit on the way home and find the star the next morning. Winter is the second wave. The borough sands the steep cross streets and the Gorge Road curves early, and that grit sits in the wheel wells of every car ahead of you until March. Then there is the temperature swing. A car parked out on the ridge overnight hits the low twenties, you start it and run the defroster wide open, and a chip that had been quiet for a month splits across the glass in seconds.
We are at 137 Palisade Avenue, open eight to five Monday through Friday and closed weekends. From anywhere in the borough it is a few minutes: cut over from Anderson Avenue, or come up Palisade from the Fairview end. Coming off Route 5 from the river, stay with it to the top of the hill and turn onto the ridge streets. There is no appointment system for chip repairs, so call the number, tell us the car, and come by. If you would rather not move a car with a cracked windshield at all, the mobile van covers every street in Cliffside Park at the same price as the shop, with no trip charge.
Jimmy's Glass works across Cliffside Park and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
For a chip or a short crack, yes. We are open Monday through Friday, eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, and a repair is usually done in under thirty minutes. For a full windshield it helps to call ahead so the right glass is here when you arrive; give us the year, make and model and we will tell you the same day whether it is on the shelf.
Curbside on the block usually opens up during the day, and you are only leaving it long enough for us to take the vehicle in. If parking near the shop worries you on a weekday morning, book the van instead. We will do the job in your own driveway or garage spot for the same price, which for a lot of Cliffside Park addresses is simply easier.
Most vehicles land between $250 and $450 installed. Sedans and small SUVs sit at the low end. Anything with a camera behind the mirror for lane-keeping or automatic braking, or heated glass, runs higher, and we will say so before we start. Chip repairs are $60 to $150, and with comprehensive coverage many drivers pay nothing at all.
