Auto body repair service near Bayonne, NJ

I have used many shops over the years but now I will only go to Rice's - they are always fair, they know what they are doing, and maybe most importantly: honest! Truly exceptional - definitely recommended!

These people are terrific! We have done business with them for several years now and we could not be happier. Frank Sanchez, the manager, is so professional and helpful. When he says the car will be ready at a certain time, it always is. He has been very helpful in all phases of our repair challenges. As he told my wife recently, "you will not be able to tell that the car is not brand new when we are finished"! And Frank was right! Her SUV looks brand new! And they were very fair with pricing and dealing with our insurance carrier as well. Obviously, we are very happy with this service!

I was referred to Mid Island Collision by Audi Lynbrook to fix a small dent that I sustained to the bottom of my Audi after accidentally driving over a sidewalk curb at 25mph. When I brought my vehicle to Geico for an estimate they quoted me price of $1900 and told me it can possible go up a little more with the supplemental quote from my repair shop which was Mid Island Collision. The supplemental quote from Mid Island Collision was $11,000 (5 times the original quote) for a total of $13750 to fix a very small dent under door and to paint the front bumper and replace the belly pan. I had serious reservations about this estimate and couldn’t believe my insurance company gave them the ok to charge that ridiculous amount. I even drove all the way down to Mid Island Collision to find out what they were charging me so much for. One of the workers told me all the work they were planning on doing (most of it completely unnecessary) with my car and temporarily sold me on keeping the car at Mid Island Collision. On my way home I taught about what the work said but didn’t see the value in them charging $13,750 to fix the frivolous damages to my car that was in excellent condition outside from the small dent under the car. On Monday January 19, 2015, after my visit to the shop on January 17, 2015 (repair wasn’t started when I was there and they are closed on Sunday), I called Mid Island Collision and spoke to a secretary telling her I wanted to pick up my car and go somewhere else for the repair. I was placed on hold for 5 minutes and then the manager Brian came on the phone and told me that they just started on my vehicle this morning. Although I didn’t believe that they started the car that day, I told Brian that I felt the price he was charging was unreasonable and that I expected my car to look Brand New when I receive it back. After having my car for 30days, I called Mid Island to find out what was taking so long. They communicated to me that the car would be ready within 48 hours. I was able to pick up the vehicle within the 48 hours on February 6th 2015. The Vehicle appeared to be in excellent condition (it was late at night so I could truly tell) until I took the car home and saw that the main damages where still not fixed. They used zip-ties to hold up the belly pan and there were still damages to the plastic lining under the car that they were supposed to fixes. I called Mid Island Collision the next day and told them about the incomplete job. They said that they were going to get back to me but never did. I called again during the week of February 9th and was promised that they were going to order the parts and give me a call when they parts came in but again they never got back to me. It is now March 20, 2015 and my car still isn’t complete. I am currently in the process of reporting them to all the relevant agency including Audi of America. Mid Island Collision is an Unscrupulous business and I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

Dropped my car off Dec. 7 2019 found the parts but still did not do any work on it and no communication. Picked up today Sept. 15 2020. Called twice first time i called and spoke to him he had an excuse that he didn't have any help and not able to get to it. Second time called same excuse. Saw posted videos of cars that were being done at his shop that were brought in after mine... he was working on cars that paid more money... didn't work on mine cause the payout wasn't worth his time... unless you have thousands and thousands of damage done to your car he won't get to it until the expensive work is done first... don't waste your time he is very unprofessional... and i will never recommend him and will post this review over all social media that i can to spread the news his Unprofessional business practices

I took my car into Ideal after getting into an accident. After a year, I began to notice that the places where they repainted were chipping and peeling very badly. Because it’s been a year, they refuse to redo the paint job stating that the damages were caused by my driving! Do not go here no matter what!
