Cedarhurst is about ten minutes from the shop, straight down Rockaway Turnpike and across the county line. Chip repairs take 20 to 30 minutes, windshields around an hour plus cure time, and side glass is normally same day. The van covers the village if the drive is inconvenient.

Cedarhurst is close enough that a lot of people here already drive past us on the way to the beach without realising it. The village sits just over the Queens line in the Five Towns, and Rockaway Turnpike connects it directly to Far Rockaway, so the trip to Augustina Avenue is short and entirely on roads you already use.
What brings Cedarhurst cars to us is usually one of two things. Either a chip picked up on the turnpike or the Nassau Expressway that has started to run, or side glass broken while the car was parked around the shopping streets. Both are jobs we would rather do quickly than let sit. We quote the price up front, file the comprehensive claim ourselves where the policy allows, and warranty our workmanship for as long as the vehicle is yours. If a break can be filled instead of replaced, that is what we will recommend, because it costs less and takes a fraction of the time.
Cedarhurst is a village in the Town of Hempstead, one of the Five Towns, sitting immediately east of the Queens line. Central Avenue is its commercial heart, a busy shopping street with kerbside parking that turns over steadily through the day, and West Broadway and Cedarhurst Avenue carry much of the rest of the local traffic. Rockaway Turnpike forms the western edge and is the direct road down to Far Rockaway and the peninsula; Peninsula Boulevard runs off to the northeast. The village has its own station on the LIRR Far Rockaway branch, which is the same line running down to the coast. Residential streets are largely detached houses with driveways, so away from the shopping blocks parking is easy and there is generally room for a van to work alongside a car.
“Came here to get my windows tinted. They did a phenomenal at a decent price. The owner and staff are really nice. Professional, talented and honest! Good place to bring your car in Far Rockaway.”
Cedarhurst is a mile or so from open water, which is close enough to matter without being the full coastal exposure the peninsula gets. Salt-laden air reaches these streets on a southerly wind and settles on parked cars overnight, and the film it leaves works into the moulding channel around the windshield. The bigger contributor is the road network. Rockaway Turnpike and the Nassau Expressway carry heavy traffic toward the airport, and that is where the stone damage comes from. Cars here also make regular trips to the beach in summer, which means picking up blown sand on the peninsula and carrying it home in the cowl, where wipers drag it across the glass for weeks afterwards. That combination is what wears a windshield down here.
Take Rockaway Turnpike south from wherever you join it, follow it across the county line, and it feeds toward Seagirt Boulevard and the Far Rockaway grid, where Mott Avenue brings you to Augustina Avenue. Ten minutes is a fair estimate away from the turnpike's busiest hours. From the Central Avenue side, head west to the turnpike first rather than trying to work down through the residential streets, which do not run through as cleanly. Leaving the car with us through the cure is straightforward, and the village is close enough to get home and back. If you would rather not drive at all, the van reaches Cedarhurst easily and can work on a driveway.
Far Rockaway Auto Glass works across Queens and the surrounding towns — pick your neighborhood:
It is possible for side glass but not ideal, because kerbside spaces on that stretch turn over constantly and the tech needs room to open the door fully and work alongside it. A driveway at home is far easier and takes no longer to arrange. If the car has to stay where it is, tell us the block when you book so we can judge it properly.
The install itself is about an hour. After that the urethane needs its safe drive-away time, usually another thirty to sixty minutes and longer when it is cold or damp, and a camera recalibration adds roughly half an hour more. We give you the actual time your car is ready rather than a rough estimate, and we do not shorten the cure.
We stock and source the panes that match what actually drives around here, so ordinary sedans, small SUVs and work vans are usually same day. Less common trims, acoustic laminates and camera-equipped windshields sometimes need a day to come in. Call with the year, make and model and we will tell you which category yours falls into before you set off.
