Collision repair service near Milford, CT

In another life,when I wore a much younger mans clothes- I was a collision painter. This is a highly specialized skill,as color matching is an art. I mention this to qualify my recommendation. After some better than average driver merged into the side of my car on the southern state, my trusted mechanic referred me to John / Concours auto body, as he knew what a fussy prick I can be- and how important the right job is to me..cost being secondary. The job was clean- ( no overspray on the car, primer nor overspray in the jambs, compound snot in the seams . .)- Body/seam putty work was top shelf and perfectly matched factory applications- Paint color and orange peel match was flawless- Service was timely and as promised. Having seen what some other body shops offer up as a "professional" service, I would safely say Concours auto body stands out in the crowd.

We broke down on I-684 and had no choice about getting our fuel pump replaced here. The good - They were able to get to our car the next day (Saturday) and get it done and they gave our family of 4 a ride to a hotel. The bad - They are *very* expensive. While the parts and labor charges were clear and technically correct, they were at the very top of the high end of the range for everything. They were as expensive (or more) than going to a dealer! I had asked if they could cut us a bit of a break, given their high prices and our financial situation (We are not well off, as evidenced by our 11 year old car). But they would not even consider giving us even a dime of discount.
