International Auto Glass Distribution
Business Details
About
A three-minute walk from the 180th Street stop on the B/D line, International Auto Glass Distribution sits on a stretch of Inwood Avenue where traffic crawls and storefronts change quickly. The bodega across the block sells lottery tickets, the florist next door sticks roses in cellophane sleeves, and a single auto-glass van is usually angled into the curb outside—late-model sedans more often than lifted trucks. Few pedestrians linger, yet the shop keeps a steady rotation of side-mirrors and windshields stacked behind its roll-up door.
The neighborhood’s main drag is busy enough to need quick fixes; cracked tempered glass or a pocked windshield can appear overnight after a weekend fender bender near Fordham Plaza. The shop handles replacements and repairs, chips filled the same day before they spider, and chips too close to the edge are ground flush so the driver can pass inspection. Laminated windshields from late-model Hondas and Toyotas sit on the rear rack, ready to swap in when a driver’s schedule won’t wait for an OEM order.
Between the subway station and the elevated Cross-Bronx Expressway on-ramp, this is one of the few auto-glass addresses where the overhead train noise is louder than the glass-cutting saw. Parts arrive in cardboard boxes labeled “FG271” or “AWC502,” and the delivery van sometimes blocks the hydrant while the driver unloads a new side panel. Parking enforcement is spotty, but double-parking happens often enough that you can set your watch by it.
