Rieser’s Autobody East

Auto Body Work, Auto Service, Auto Painting,

About us

As the third generation of a successful family owned and operated auto-body repair business, I expanded by opening a third location in central Ohio. We pride ourselves on being a quality-driven, insurance-friendly and customer-satisfaction-focused facility. We repair all makes and models, are certified, and make towing service and rentals available. We are easily accessible to the eastern Columbus area including Blacklick, New Albany, Gahanna, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, Whitehall and Pickerington. I started working in my family’s body shop when I was 11 years old under the watchful eye of my father. My father instilled in me the idea that quality was our first priority. I will always remember him saying to me, “Son, take pride in your work. Every car that you do has your name on it.” For almost 30 years, I have worked in the body-shop industry. I've painted and repaired vehicles with my own hands, written accurate and fair estimates, managed some of the best technicians in the area, and built relationships with many customers and insurers. I am most proud of the work that I have done for some celebrities. I have personally painted cars belonging to Jay Leno (a Porsche 996), Lebron James (a Bentley Continental) and Rahal Letterman Racing (an Indy racecar). Although I have enjoyed working on these prestigious, high-line cars, your Civic, Corolla, or older pickup truck will get the same attention. At the end of 2006, I had a great opportunity to open a body shop of my own. I wanted this shop to be different. I wanted this to be a place where the employees were happy and our customers were even happier. I also wanted to work with the insurance companies, not against them. Rieser’s Autobody East opened in January 2007. I started work in one building, doing all the repairs and office work myself. Soon, I was hiring technicians to keep up with the referral work I generated. By April 2007, I added another building and more technicians. In October 2007, we expanded to another building. My wife, Marte, left her job in May 2007 to work for the business, running the office full-time. I would love you to meet her. She is friendly, caring and professional. I could not do this without her. All of the customers and our suppliers love her. She makes the process so much easier for our customers. She will work with your insurance company, arrange any services you may need (such as rental or towing), or just be there to listen. She is customer-service oriented and will work to make the repair process as seamless as possible. We don’t always meet our customers under the best of circumstances. In fact, most have just been in a car accident. Most people don’t even know where to begin. We try to make the process as easy as possible. We can arrange for towing and a rental. We will work with your insurance company during the claims process. We perform timely repairs so that you are not without your vehicle any longer than you have to be. And like I said, we listen to you. I believe that I have lived up to my father’s high standards for repairing and refinishing vehicles. I strive to instill his ideals in my own employees to this day. I take a hands-on approach to the repair of every auto we service. Quality is always my main concern. Thank you for your interest. I would love the opportunity to talk to you and share more of my story and that of our shop. Please feel free to call me at any time at 614-751-0022. Steven E. Rieser II

Because Rieser's is local to me and has good ratings, I decided to take my 2000 Chrysler LHS to them for some "elective surgery" rust repair. Alex was more than thorough in discussing what they would do, the costs, timeline, etc. I LOVE the result and as others have stated, the whole car was beyond clean when I picked it up. The staff I met were super friendly, and while I'm not hoping for an accident any time soon, I'd go back there in a hot second.

Rieser's did some body work for us 3-4 years ago which went great. This time we had a persistent water leak in our Tucson under the floor and they were very diligent in figuring out the problem. The cost was reasonable and everyone was very professional.

The service went very well. I came in without a scheduled appointment. Rieser’s still provided an estimate explained what was needed and advise me they could complete the work within 30 minutes after the parts arrived. Unfortunately our car was involved in another incident so I wasn't able to return until approximately 2 months later. When I called I was surprised Rieser’s still had my information. As agreed they completed the repair within 30-45 minutes. The team was very courteous. I would definitely use them again. Although as an Angie's list customer I believe they still owe me a free car wash :)

I was very pleased with the results. I got three bids and Rieser's was the best price. Significantly, I was originally planned to pay all the cost rather than turn it over to my insurance company. Only Rieser's calculated its bid on the standard hourly rate allowed by insurers. The other two bids charged me a higher hourly rate when they thought I was paying. Later, when I turned the repair over to my insurance company, the rep said that either of the higher bids would be lower because the other two companies would be limited to $48.00/hour. Only Rieser's did the decent thing and charged me the same rate regardless of whether the insurance company paid or I did. Also, they cleaned the car inside and out before turning it over to me. The car was done on time and the work was excellent.

They did a phenomenal job on my car. It looks brand new, and that's after some pretty intense back end damage. They even did some work that was unrelated to the accident. In fact, one of their vendors inadvertently scratched the window. They immediately gave me a loaner car while they fixed the window. Finally, they were really accurate and honest on time, and gave me an incredibly detailed quote, that gave me everything i needed to know about the work. Steve, his wife, and the office staff were really nice and cook not be more helpful.

They were great. They were really, really great. They are fantastic. The insurance company paid, I just paid the deductible. I liked the work that they did. I liked the fact that they did it very, very quickly. It was quality work and I liked the fact that the interaction with the people that work there was very comfortable.

Description of Work: I called several auto body shops when I needed a place that could fix my car hopefully quickly while maintaining superb quality. I found Rieser's on Angies List and went right over. They were the only place that could get my car in the next week.

Excellent service as described above!
Description of Work: My car was hit while parked. The drivers back door. Fixed in about a week. They scheduled my rental and had it brought to the body shop! Same for drop off. So easy and appreciated. No issues with the other persons insurance. They took care of it all. When I picked it up there was a small issue, but they made it right that day and stayed past closing time till it was all right. 2 days later, my partner's car was rear ended by a semi, we also took his car to Riesers. No issues and car looks like new again! They go above and beyond to make things go smoothly for their customers and it's so much appreciated! It's always a stressful time so the easier they make it the better and would get my business again because of this! And all their work has a lifetime warranty as well. Thank you Riesers!

From the moment I walked in the door, I was impressed with how easy the staff made everything. I was in and out with my rental car (arranged for me and waiting when I dropped of my car). They told me that it would be approximately 5-6 days and they called at the end of the 4th day to say it was ready for pick up. Above all else, I was most impressed with the staff. I really enjoyed working with everyone I came into contact with. What great people! It's never fun dealing with accident's and insurance issues, but I have to say I can't imagine it going any better than it did. I would definitely use them again, and would highly recommend them to friends and family. Thanks Rieser's Staff!

My van's lease is ending soon and it had some minor damage to the bumper - a slight gap where it had come unclipped and a few scrapes where the paint had come off. In the interest of keeping the lease-end appraiser's report as positive as possible, I took my van in to Rieser's to get an estimate on the damage, in the hopes of making a cheap fix. Dan spent a good half an hour inspecting, photographing and running the numbers. Meanwhile, the friendly office staff provided me coffee and were very solicitous. Then Dan went over the process in detail with me (remolding, priming, painting, attaching - a 2 day process). The estimate was around $500. This was more than I had hoped to be putting into the van, just to turn around and turn in the lease. Dan advised me to have it appraised first before going through with the work. He'd had experience at a dealership and let me know that their appraisal may not dock me as much as fixing it might cost. I appreciated his honesty and the time he took to explain this to me. After thinking on it a day, I called back and asked how much it would be just to reattach the bumper. I was shocked when they said to just bring it by anytime and they'd do it for free, I'd just need to wait maybe half an hour. I took it in the next day and Dan got right on it. The staff was again very friendly, conversational, and funny! I found out they were a family run business, took pride in their work, and I observed them being very respectful and helpful with their customers. Dan finished up in about half an hour and showed me what he'd done and described how he had reattached the bumper. I was pleasantly surprised to see that he had gone ahead and touched up the areas where the paint had scraped off. And he even handed me a bottle of the matching paint so I could add another coat and use it on other nicks. I insisted on paying him something, but he kindly refused. So, I got a free estimate, good advice, met some great people, and received excellent service, all at no charge. Can't beat that!

My auto dealer recommended Rieser's Auto Body East after I had my first auto accident in decades. The entire staff took my hand and led me through the process. They dealt with my insurer, provided a rental car on-site, and made sure my car was ready on-time so I wouldn't have to postpone a trip out of state. My Nissan Altima came back to me looking showroom new, detailed inside and out. If anything good came out of my accident, it was finding this gem of a friendly, family business.

My son was in an accident, his fault. He rear-ended a car. He diligently attempted to avoid the accident and as the result, damaged many surfaces on his car--front bumper, front passenger quarter panel, front passenger hood, front passenger wheel, headlight, wiring harness for the entire car. After personally visiting a couple of body shops and leaving with a 'bad feeling', I went to Angies List and searched for an A-rate body shop close to work and home. I found Reiser's Autobody East and am very glad I decided to have this shop repair the car. They reviewed the insurance estimate,ordered parts based on insurance estimate, and had me drop the car off about 2 or 3 days later (it was still drivable). When I dropped it off, they had a representative from Hertz at their location waiting with the rental car (covered by my insurance). I was told based on the labor estimate from insurance adjustor, they would most likely have the car from Tuesday through Friday of the following week. As they were taking damaged parts off of the car, they found additional work that needed to be done. They phoned the insurance company and had the adjustor out to see what they had found. The adjustor approved the additional work and left a check for the additional approved amount. We picked up the car today, and it looks brand new! Reiser did an amazing job and I know the repair was done correctly and is structurally sound. I know why this shop has received such glowing reviews and received the Super Service Award.

Much more reasonably priced than the dealer for the same project. Very friendly folks in the main office. Be sure to mention you?re an Angie?s List member, you get a free car wash!
