Safelite AutoGlass operates as an auto glass repair and replacement shop in Long Island City, New York, holding a 3.9★ aggregate rating across 486 verified customer reviews. By that measure, the location is mid-range — it rates around the area average — and represents a established operation with substantial review history. On ShieldFinder it currently ranks among the top three Long Island City shops by combined rating and review volume.
The shop's posted services include windshield replacement and chip / crack repair. Direct insurance billing is available, which matters in New York because the state's zero-deductible windshield law means most comprehensive policyholders pay nothing out of pocket for covered glass work — the shop bills your insurer directly and you're done. Mobile service is offered, meaning a technician can come to a home or workplace for chip repair and many replacement jobs — useful if a damaged windshield isn't safe to drive or if shop visits are inconvenient.
Operating schedule runs weekdays 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, with Saturday hours. Safelite AutoGlass can be reached at +1 917-382-5115 or via their website at safelite.com. Calling ahead to confirm same-day or next-day appointment availability is the most reliable approach, especially after major storm events when Long Island City-area shops often see surge demand.
Local market context for New York drivers: New York windshields take a beating from two directions: brutal freeze-thaw cycles that expand small chips into full cracks overnight, and road salt that corrodes glass edges and reduces visibility through mineral haze.
