Auto body repair service near Jersey City, 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!

Life experiences have taught most of us that it is wise to establish boundaries regarding the type of relationships we allow ourselves to develop with those who we conduct business with. Friendship is usually considered “taboo”. Most consumers believe that the majority of independent business owners are only concerned with their own bottom line, “making the mighty dollar at whatever cost. Very seldom does a consumer meet one of those independent business owners who is the total opposite. Mr. Bill Leahy, the successful proprietor of Piermont Automotive located in Piermont New York is one such individual. He possesses and exhibits a unique degree of sincerity, business ethics, integrity and business acumen that is far beyond the expectations of his customers. I was blessed to establish a business relationship with Bill Leahy several years ago after he provided what could only be explained as supreme unsurpassed service and repair of my vehicles. It ultimately determined my final decision to utilize his services exclusively. Since that time, our business relationship has evolved into a uniquely blessed friendship created only by God. A series of recent repairs made on my vehicle by “Bill” had resulted in my having a strong desire to replace my vehicle. Despite the potential monies that Bill Leahy knew he was most likely to make, providing future repairs on my vehicle, he selflessly sacrificed his own personal future financial gains to save me his customer from spending money needlessly. Bill made a personal phone call to a good friend at a Mahwah Honda Dealership, and explained my situation. This whole scenario began on a Saturday. By Monday I was driving out of that same dealership with what I now refer to as “My Miracle Car from God”, a brand new fully loaded 2014 Honda CRV with absolutely no money down. At this present time, there exist several thousand independently owned and operated auto repair shops in New York State. Piermont Automotive located at 15 Piermont Avenue in Piermont New York, owned and operated by the successful proprietor Mr. Bill Leahy is one that has obtained the unparalleled respect and admiration of its customers and its community. Mr. Leahy is undoubtedly an honest and sincere individual of outstanding character, who has proven himself to be one who is always willing to go above and beyond the established standards of customer service excellence. He has unequivocally demonstrated his personal life philosophy, that business and life is about more than just money. I feel so very blessed to have Mr. Bill Leahy as a business associate, but even more so as a trusted and treasured friend. B.Williams

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.
