Auto body repair service near East Rutherford, NJ

This is a real review by a customer that had body work done on a 2009 Honda Accord Coupe in January 2012. The work that was done on our car was the WORST work I have ever seen in my life. The damage to our car was from a small collision that banged up the front end. The new (aftermarket) hood they put on not only doesn't fit, with big gaps on each side, but is also way to high above the fenders! The rubber gasket that goes under the front of the hood hangs out about 1/4 to 1/2 inch .... it is not supposed to be visible at all. The paint was only quickly sprayed on once on the underside of the hood and looks like it was done with a can of rustoleum. We had another area above the drivers side window repaired. It was dented from a tree branch that came down in our driveway during the weird October snow storm. The repair was HORRIBLE to the point that there are paint drips all along the edge of the repair. Also there was overspray paint on the window. We took the car to a Honda dealer and they literally laughed their heads off when they saw the work. They told us we couldn't sell or trade this car if we wanted to because of this terrible work. They also neglected to repair the headlamps which were scratched, and if you can believe this ... we had them do an oil change and they never even reset the oil level light. We are not the type to complain if there is a little issue, but they have destroyed our vehicle and rendered it valueless!!!!! Not to mention it took them over 2 weeks to do this terrible work. Our insurance company is USAA and we now have to take it to another auto body shop and have ALL the work redone. In 49 years I have never seen such poor quality work from an auto body shop. You would be a fool to use these guys.

VIP these guy are the truth, they worked with me around my Schedule. Can't remember which one I talked to either Mark or peter. Keep up the good work guys!!!

A year ago, I was in an accident and called Livingston Collision to tow it for me. They not only assisted with the tow, but they also helped me through the entire insurance negotiation. They were able to negotiate with my insurance adjuster and ultimately helped in proving the car was totaled and making sure I got back the fair market value for the car. Brad, Val, and Allie were my advocates from start to finish and I'd highly recommend their shop to anyone. They've been in business for over 50 years, so it's obvious they take their reputation seriously. Quality body work (I've gotten previous body work done here and have always been impressed with the attention to detail) and exceptional customer service are what you'll get at this shop, no question.

Great work! Very professional and skilled individuals. Luis was a great help very informative, knowledgable, skilled, and efficient even got a free car wash. Excellent work at an excellent price.

They actually damage my new car BEFORE delivery. They have my deposit that I tried to get back but can't since I sign their contract. Now car is still unfixed and my sales person do not return my phone calls and messages. Other managers do not respond as well. And the GENERAL MANAGER IS ALWAYS ON MEETING. How is it possible?

P.S.: I HAD TO GIVE IT ONE STAR IN ORDER TO PROCESS THE REVIEW... HE DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE A STAR! HE SCAMMED ME AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND GOT PAID BEFORE I SAW MY CAR. I WAS BADLY INJURED FROM THE ACCIDENT AND TOTALLY RELIED ON HIM BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET BACK AND FORTH TO THE SHOP TO CHECK ON THINGS. HE MADE ME SIGN THE AUTO INSURANCE APPROVAL OF THE REPAIRS IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE CAR AND BRING IT TO ME. I CRIED WHEN I SAW MY CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ACCIDENT AND AFTER SEEING HIS REPAIRS TO IT. HE USED A TACKY VARNISH, INSTEAD OF CLEAR-COAT ON THE SLOPPY PAINT JOB! THE CHEAP AND ILLEGAL VARNISH WAS SLAPPED ON OVER SHOP DUST. HE WORKED INSIDE OF MY CAR ON TOP OF THE ASHES AND CIGARETTE BUTTS THAT SPILLED ONTO THE SEATING UPOLSTERY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. SO, HE EMBEDDED THEM INTO THE SEATS AND CAUSED PERMANENT DAMAGE AND STAINNING THEM. HIS RESPONSE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF MY DAMAGED SEATS AND PAINT JOB WAS THAT HE IS NOT A JANITOR! I DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR AFTER HIS REPAIRS AND DAMAGE TO IT. I LOST A LOT OF MONEY IN THE SALE OF THAT CAR DUE TO THE OBVIOUS WORK HE PERFORMED ON IT. AND, HE GOT TOP DOLLAR FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAYMENT BY GETTING ME TO SIGN BEFORE BEING ABLE TO SEE IT. HE LIED ABOUT THE PRODUCTS USED AND WORK PERFORMED.
