Auto body repair service near Colgate, NY

I was in a car accident a few weeks ago. A car just rear ended me and I ended up going through the other person's insurance. I was recommended to go to Joe's Auto Body in East Orange by their insurance company, as it was very close to where I live. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Glen and his staff, from Joe's Auto Body. Everyone was so nice and very welcoming. As soon as I dropped off my car, they had a person from enterprise pick me up. My car was in the shop for a total of two days. Every day I would receive an email with a picture of my car and what they were doing at that time. I thought this was awesome, and honestly, I never heard of any other shop doing this. My car was a mess, I dropped it off the morning I got back from New Hampshire, I was rather embarrassed about how messy it was. I was shocked the day I picked it up from Joe's. It had been completely detailed and cleaned. It must have taken them a good couple of hours to just clean and wash everything. I recommend Joe's Auto Body to everyone!! I will certainly be going back for any maintenance I need done in the future!

This place is the worse I've ever been to. The owner dudley tries to fast talk you and justify the garbage work performed. The fenders they put on was incorrect and rubbing against the tires causing me to buy more tires. They also didnt straighten out the fram correctly causing the entire car to shake and rattle.. The car sounds ten times worse than it ever did. Please no one should ever go there.

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.
