Great job. Looks great

It wasn't a bargain, but the cost wasn't excessive either.  The work was excellent and the owner is good to work with, very upfront.  I will go there again.

ok

I had an accident that  resulted in damage to my vehicle including significant suspension damage, bumper damage, and some damage to the drivers side quarter panel. The car wasn't driving right; I knew I had serious problems. I had the repairs quoted at a shop next to my house and at 1st Auto Body. I took note of the positive reviews on Angie's List and decided to give this place a shot. An added bonus is that 1st Auto Body was $400 cheaper and had better reviews. First of all "Gino" is a very friendly and down to earth guy. He's honest; he gives you the different options for your repair and he provides the pros and cons of each. In my case, I simply asked "What would you do?". I went with his recommendation and it wasn't even the most expensive option. I walked out of his shop with the impression that he genuinely puts himself in his customer's shoes and is more interested in providing the best service rather than making the most money. It took a week for him to complete all the repairs. He called me several times through the process to let me know what's going on. I had several major suspension components replaced; I had the body work flawlessly fixed and the car looks like it's brand new. He guarantees the work for as long as you own the car and has a genuine sense of pride in the quality of work done. The shop may not look like much but this place is top notch; full of hard working, quality minded, friendly people. The final cost was in-line with his original quote and was actually a little cheaper than what I was expecting. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Hopefully I don't have any more car accidents, but if I do I'm going to 1st Auto Body.

We used 1st Auto Body based on other Angie's List reviews and are glad we did.  Based on a phone call they arranged towing for us and promptly returned an estimate.  When we arrived a few days later to pick up our car it looked as if it had never been dented in the first place.  Friendly people to work with and they even touched up a scratch on our bumper in the process.  Nicely done.

Excellant experience.  Nice to work with, performed great work.  No negative issues. K

He was really nice and helpful. We didn't use him but he got us pointed into the right direction.

I've been to Pete's too many times over the last 15 years, and this review is way overdue. But Pete has worked on my transmissions, brakes, oil changes, etc.. you name it. All of it done quickly, priced right, and with the wonderful Dorothy at the front desk.

     They were very professional during the whole process.
The estimate was right on target and they finished slightly 
ahead of the goal date.  I was extremely pleased with the 
quality of the work.  I recommend with a ringing endorsement.

Ist Autobody repays Anglie's list membership! I went there because of an Angie's list recommendation.

When I brought the car in, the manager was already looking for ways for me to save money. The work was finished a day earlier than estimated, and the cost was under that estimated. It was also very good work--you couldn't tell where the bumps and scrapes had been. They also gave me a small jar of paint for any small mishaps that might occur.

About a week later, I thought I had hit a pipe in the street and damaged the body--but the manager showed me that what I thought was damage was not in fact damage. In other words, he showed me that I did not have a problem.

I have been meaning to write Angie's list since then, but couldn't find the documentation and the necessary time to do so. For that reason, I am glad to have this opportunity to recommend this business as highly as possible.

He actually did the work for free, as he said it wasn't worth charging. He's very honest and the prices are very fair. It's never been bad at all to get my car in for service. They're very professional and get things done in a timely manner. If he's not busy, he'll work on it right then and there.

They were really professional, polite, and they had dealt with my insurance company before, so they weren't pushy.

Jerry's shop did an excellent job on my repairs. He kept me informed on what was going on and the car was finished when promised. I'll be sure to bring my car back there for any other work in the future.

Jerry was up front with his estimation and desire to save me money, (i.e. trying to save the sensor, trying to fix the vinyl before getting a whole new vinyl bumper, etc,) but also relaying that he wouldn't know more until he took the bumper apart. Unfortunately, he found greater damage than was first suspected, but relayed that information while discussing different options in repairing the damage. He gave his recommendation but let me make the decision. In the end it cost more than first expected, but he was able to save me a bunch of cash by repairing vice replacing things where it was prudent. He also knocked $50 off the total because he was unable to provide the drop off service due to a medical emergency in his family. Could'nt ask for better service.

Prompt and thorough explanation of planned repairs. Best explanation and lowest price (with Angie's list discount) of any of 3 estimates obtained.

The low cost was a surprise. I drove the van approx. 1000 miles afterwards with no surprises. Excellant work with honest friendy service.

Jerry does a major of the work himself. He very professional and friendy. He ordered the parts and called me when they arrived. He was able to complete the repairs in a timely manner even when I showed up late. He even added a Angie list discount.

Totally stress free, done while I waited and without me having to take my truck out of commission for a day.

The entire process went without any issues. The vehicle was ready on time and the bill matched their estimate.

I was involved in an accident with my Infiniti QX4. My car was not drivable so I called my insurance company on where to bring the car. They recommended 1st Auto Body based on the location where the accident occurred. I called 1st Auto Body and spoke to Jerry and within the hour of the accident my car was towed to the shop where repaired were performed. I really enjoyed the service quality and cycle time of the repair. I was a little nervous about the damage to the wheel but I was very pleased with the repairs. The car drove excellently and looked great. Thanks you, 1st Auto Body.
