Hey all,

Quick story - got rear-ended in my 2 month old 05 6MT Coupe. Whole lower bumper is smashed in like an accordian, exhaust scratched, rim scratched, and trunk is off. The gasket for the gas tank is ripped off as well.

Long story short, obviously it was THEIR fault and their insurance is going to cover the repair. Please, I am in desperate need to find a shop that will restore my car to brand new condition. I can't even tell you how upset I am over this, especially with how careful I am with my new car. I am located in central new jersey and would prefer a shop within the area. I called up Circle Infiniti in Long Branch and they recommended Ocean Auto Body. Should I go with the dealer recommendation?

Thanks so much

 

Holman Infiniti....excellent work...highly recommend them, the body shop is attached to the dealer...(holman auto body)

 

Where in Central NJ I am just curious?

I'd reccomend calling Ray Catena Infiniti. I trust them more than any other dealer in this state.

 

My couzin had has car done by Quality Auto Body In Rahway NJ.. They did an excellent job on his car. They are authorized wiht BM, Infiniti , Lexus, Porsche...THey do alot of work for Ray Catena.

 

I can’t comment on their body shop, but my experience purchasing my car there was the absolute worst. I stay as far away from them as possible.

 

in central jersey...hmm

i got my last car fixed on rt130...i think its called dennis and dons auto body in North brunswick, they did really good work and they work on high end cars...

and if there paying for it you could always go to Body by Mule' thats off of 130 too just a little further south. maybe like 30min... but well worth it i'm always amazed at the cars i see out there when ever i passs by.

 

I Know Couple Good Ones In Nnj!

 

I would not go to a body shop recommended by a dealership. Not if you want your car back to 100%. In central jersey, I'd recommend MRC motorsport in Spotswood, NJ. http://www.racemrc.com

 

+1 on Quality Auto in Rahway, NJ. The work mostly on more expensive cars.

 

Thats 2 for Quality Auto in Rahway -- Ray Catena recommended them personally as the only body shop they use for their cars. I think that is who I am going to go with. I hope they are good because its a trip to get out there for me and I want the car to look brand new.

How much depreciation am I looking at for being in an accident?
