Auto Glass Repair in Iberville, New Orleans

Here is what the city's own records say about broken glass in this neighborhood — and who is licensed to deal with it.

Between January 2024 and September 16, 2026 the New Orleans Police Department logged 50 vehicles broken into and 91 collisions inside Iberville. That is 141 glass-breaking events in 990 days.

Iberville is a break-in neighborhood: 35% of those events were someone going into a parked car, against 14% for the city as a whole. That changes what the glass job usually is here. A break-in is a tempered glass job — a door or rear window that has turned to pellets, not a windshield with a crack in it.

Year by year in Iberville

Between the two full years on the table, break-ins went down by 10 and collisions went up by 3. The 2026 row is a partial year — it stops on September 16, 2026 — so it is on the table to be read, not to be compared against the two above it.

Who works here

Searching the register for Iberville returns no motor-trade licence of any kind. That is worth knowing before you plan your morning around dropping the car off.

This is the practical argument for mobile service, and it is why a lot of glass work in New Orleans happens on the kerb rather than in a bay. A van can reach a car that cannot safely be driven — and a car with a smashed window should not be driven across town in the rain to reach a shop.

If it happened to you last night

The order matters more than people expect.

Photograph it before you touch anything — the window, the interior, and whatever was moved. If you are going to make an insurance claim, that is the evidence, and it stops existing the moment you start cleaning. Then get the NOPD item number. Every one of the 50 break-ins counted on this page is a call with a number attached; insurers ask for it, and it is far harder to obtain a week later than on the day.

Do not vacuum the door yourself. Tempered pellets fall down inside the door skin and sit on the regulator. A shop vacuums the cavity as part of the job. A household vacuum through the window opening does not reach it, and the rattle it leaves behind is permanent.

Do not leave it on the same street overnight. A car that has already been opened, still sitting in the same spot with a bag over the window, is the easiest thing on the block.

Counts are calls to the New Orleans Police Department, January 2024 through September 16, 2026, placed inside the city's published boundary for Iberville (Neighborhood Statistical Areas, dataset exvn-jeh2). Businesses come from Active Occupational Licenses (iqay-p646) and are listed because they hold a licence, which is not a recommendation. How we use city data.
