Warning: Avoid This Auto Shop at All Costs -- Shady Business Practices & Deceptive Tactics…read more We brought our car into this shop for a simple a fender, bumper, and paint scuff repair -- nothing more. Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward job turned into an extremely frustrating and suspicious experience that dragged on for two and a half months and cost us time, money, and peace of mind. Our insurance company sent an inspector to the shop to provide a damage estimate. However, the shop owner, Rui, had an unprofessional confrontation with the inspector, causing them to walk out and refuse to continue the process. Despite that, the shop still received payment from our insurance company specifically to repair the fender, bumper and paint scuff -- and that was it! Instead of completing those tasks, Rui took it upon himself to add extra damage claims that were never part of the original issue and that our insurance never approved. When we questioned him and requested a detailed breakdown of what had actually been done to our car, he told us it would take "hours" to put together -- yet when we demanded the release of our vehicle and had no choice but to pay out of pocket, he magically had the breakdown ready in under 15 minutes. During this entire time, our car was held hostage. Every phone call resulted in excuses and delays. He claimed that work couldn't proceed because the insurance hadn't sent another inspector -- even though that wasn't necessary for the original repair. It became clear that he was stalling intentionally to rack up storage fees, which we ended up having to pay in order to get our car back. And here's the worst part: the job wasn't even completed. The area that was supposed to be repaired looked incomplete and worse than how we brought it in. We were without a car for over a two and a half months , and after all that time, the job we paid for wasn't even done. To make matters even more disturbing, Rui gave us the number of a so-called mediator (lawyer)-- someone who he claimed could help us "fight the insurance" to get more money. This "mediator" was not licensed, spoke unprofessionally, and admitted he had multiple similar cases with this same shop. When other customers' insurance companies asked for his credentials, he flat-out said he wasn't required to have a license. This felt like a coordinated scam operation, not a legitimate business solution. Bottom Line: -Our car was held hostage for made-up storage fees -Work was never properly completed -The shop added unauthorized charges and tried to pressure us into working with a shady, unlicensed "mediator" -Zero professionalism, zero transparency, and zero accountability -I truly worry about how many vulnerable people this place might be taking advantage of. Please do your research and stay away. There are plenty of reputable, ethical body shops out there -- this is not one of them. We absolutely do NOT recommend this shop.

No Nonsense - Honest Review from Tony My name is Tony, and…read morethis post is exactly what it says--no bull nonsense. I had a minor fender bender on the front driver's side of my vehicle, caused by an unknown party. For three days, I contacted and interviewed more than seven auto body shops around Ocean County. Quotes ranged from $1,200 to $2,900, always with an attitude like they were doing me a favor. Let's be honest: most auto body repair shops are the worst part of the auto industry. They try to sell you repairs you don't need--especially when there's no insurance company involved to keep them in check. (I didn't use my insurance company so I could avoid rate increases.) I had shops telling me I needed a new fender, door repaint, and even hood repaint--one shop quoted me $3,000 for work that didn't need to be done. Then I found 88 Auto Body on Route 88 in Brick, NJ. I spoke directly to Rui, the owner, on Monday, June 23, 2025. He gave me a straight answer, no games. By Tuesday, June 24, at noon, my car was finished--looking sharp and professionally done, including a pearl white repaint of the fender. The best part? The total cost was under $900. That's right--less than a third of what others were trying to charge for unnecessary work. I highly recommend 88 Auto Body in Brick. Ask for Rui, and tell him Tony sent you. You won't be disappointed. Phone: 732-458-6300

It was my misfortune to be in need of a body shop to repair damage on my vehicle. However, I was…read moreextremely fortunate to come across Jack's Body Shop in Toms River, New Jersey, to do the repair. The quality of the work performed at Jack's was superb, My vehicle was completed and returned to me ahead of schedule, and in perfect condition. It was spotless, inside and out. Good customer service is a key factor during these stressful situations. I was fortunate to have Kevin Wickham assigned as the estimator, for the work that was needed on my vehicle. Kevin made for a truly great experience. He provided superior customer service in a professional and courteous manner, and kept me apprised of the status of the repair, all through the process. Kudos to Kevin; he is definitely an asset to your business. I will certainly recommend Kevin and Jack's Body Shop to anyone needing your services.

My experience with Jack's was less than stellar. My 2025 Tesla sat at their shop for MANY weeks,…read morewith no forward motion, and NO updates, unless I called them. They blame Tesla supply chain issues. Ok, maybe. Called on the day my car was supposed to be ready, and was literally told my car is being detailed at the moment, and would be good to go, right on time. Swell. I'm an airline pilot and I could not make their early closing time, as it was a Friday, and they close early. Ok, fine. That's on me, not them. The problem arose when I paid for the balance owed over the phone with a credit card, and made arrangements for them to lock the vehicle outside in the lot. I didn't need the specific key they had, as Teslas can be completely operated by the Tesla App. I arrived, the car is indeed parked outside, left completely unlocked with the original Tesla keycard sitting on top of my final bill, for anyone in the world to walk by and see, or worse, steal. Absolutely nothing would have prevented it. Nothing. So whatever, it wasn't stolen, no biggie...I guess. It gets worse. Much worse. So so when I arrive to pick up my car, there was a Tesla identical to mine that was sitting a far away is off and didn't move the entire time. I was evaluating the condition of my vehicle. Turned out this gentleman identified himself as one of the managers there, and was I happy with the results. I was not, and showed him exactly why I was not. He agreed the car was in horrific shape for customer delivery, and to his credit offered the sun and the moon to make it right. I was too heated then to really come to any terms. Back to the car......The vehicle was in horrific condition. There was body filler (I'm guessing) dust everywhere inside the car outside the car on the windows on the inside on the windows on the outside. It should be noted my cars are kept pristine, garaged, always. I dropped it off pristine, minus the body damage. To add insult to injury, I have a 4K dashcam installed in that vehicle that records through 4 different cameras, audio and visually. Some employee decided to remove the interior camera from my windshield resulting to damage to my LEGALLY installed front window tint. They also unplugged the other cameras, sadly for them, not before I have beautiful 4K footage of the offending event. What they didn't realize is that was no ordinary dashcam. This dashcams live streams to the "cloud". It's designed so that anyone whoever damages your car couldn't just throw away the evidence. It works great. The manager was informed and shown EVERYTHING I claim here. I have lots of photos and videos, which is why this manager approached me in the first place watching me take all of them before I moved the car.So that's plenty enough said. Let me just say in summation that I've been contacted since by many "different" managers....so they have offered heaven and earth over the phone and Facebook messenger. Let me be crystal clear on that. I however that the lack of integrity, the outright lies told to me by employees, precludes me from ever returning there. Maybe if their ONE so-called "Tesla Expert" (he's not) had been the offender that lied to me personally. That told me car was being detailed. Might even be I have video of such expert removing dashcam cameras and ruining a $500 piece of tint film. Never before. Most certainly never again. Integrity is a rare thing nowadays, professing it means nothing.
