Auto body repair service near Hastings-on-hudson, NY

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.

Today we took our car to Honda City ServiceCenter to drop it off for an oil change. The professionals at Hond City took 45 minuites to check in the car and lectured us about the proper procedure for when oil chould be changed. I am thankful for their professional input as the last four vehicles we have owner only had over 100,000 miles on them when we sold them andnever needed ay type of engine work. Guess we did a pretty bad job maintaining them. This was the first of the "free" oil canges Honda provides as part of our new car purchase. I can assure youit will be the last as well. I will take the vehicle elsewhere where they can get me in and out in a reasonable time andactually know what they are talking about.

This was one of the best auto body repair shops I have used to repair my vehicles. Excellent service; they came even came to my home to pick up a vehicle after my wife hit a deer. They worked well with my insurance company and kept costs within their estimates. We had our car back within weeks and it looks like new. Happy Wife, Happy Life!

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.

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.
