My 2012 Mazda hatchback got its drivers side front banged in while parked at work at one of the movie studios in the industrial section of Greenpoint. I went online and found Blue Star and they had great reviews. So I stopped by before work yesterday to get an estimate. I wasn't going to spend over $400. The boss complimented my taste in cars and said his young guy will fix it right now. Twenty minutes later it looked perfect (except for the many scratches from parking on the street in NYC for 14 years). I asked him how much-- let me just say I left there very very happy- and gave the guy a $20 tip for his quick work. I couldn't wait to tell the guys at work my positive New York experience! read more

By far one of the best collision repair services in New York! Bluestar Brothers Body Shop made the entire process smooth from start to finish. I have been a loyal customer for the past 12 years, and they have never disappointed me. I've been in three accidents over the years, and each time, they handled my repairs with absolute professionalism and expertise. I also recommended two of my friends, and they were just as thrilled with the results as I was. Today, I picked up my Sienna, and once again, the work was flawless--professionally done to perfection. I was so impressed that I couldn't leave without treating them to coffee and donuts! The big boss is always welcoming, smiling, and ready to assist, making the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Bluestar Brothers Body Shop--without a doubt, this is the No.1 collision shop in New York! read more

Great group of guys. Ivan was very professional and listens to all my concerns highly recommend!

Ivan and his team are reliable, fair and go above and beyond. I cannot say enough great things! Kate read more

I had such a wonderful experience with Blue Star Brothers. I went in after a collision and was treated with such care, respect, and honesty. Ivan made a point to go the extra mile, and my ten-year old car returned to me in brand-new condition. The entire team was constantly communicative and helpful, setting up a rental for me and making sure I was barely inconvenienced. Highly recommend, don't look any further than Blue Star when it comes to your car! read more

I visited Blue Star Brothers to have an inspection for a Mini Cooper I had recently bought. The staff were warm, welcoming and professional. I had been having trouble with CarPlay and couldn't get Google Maps to work. After the inspection, Jarred, a wonderful member of their team, spent about an hour - on the phone with Mini, on face-time with the dealer I bought the car from, on You Tube, etc - until he had it fixed. Amazing. I will definitely go back! read more

I walked in to Blue Star Brothers this morning because I had to get a last minute thing taken care of for my insurance. They only take appointments but they took care of me right away. Ivan and Cody are fantastic. Blue Star Brothers is a family operation. Their customer service was beyond off the charts. They legitimately care. I will be back . Thank you! read more

Good service. Nice people who do a thorough job. Will be coming back if I have problems with my car.

My experience was excellent. They gave me a fair price on a muffler and two tires. I needed it done immediately on a Saturday and they managed to turn it around in time. They were very kind and explained everything before actually doin g the work. They clearly take pride in their work and make sure that your car is fixed in a way that keeps you from needing more work done in the near future. I recommend them and will go out of my way to go back there whenever I need any repairs or maintenance. read more

Couldn't be happier. I needed an inspection for my car and was dreading it because I absolutely despise *with the fiery passions of hell* dealing with car issues. My car has always been a pain to get inspected since the check engine light has been on since I bought the car. It's just a sensor issue, but being 19 when I made the car purchase... I just had no idea what a hassle this would be for me. So, every year I have to go into the shop to get the light turned off, and then drive around for 50 highway miles. Huge waste of time. It's also a bigger deal in NYC since driving for 50 miles going 60+ miles per hour, is like Brooklyn to Long Island. Ugh. But, I had already received 2 parking tickets for the stupid inspection soooo I figured that it was time to just get it over and done with-- before I walked out to find my car condemned, or with a boot on it. NYC cops are no joke. The car also needed a passenger side mirror since someone hit my car and took the mirror clear off. Double ugh. The shop found me a mirror when several others had said they couldn't find the part. They had a shuttle service bring it from Long Island within 24 hours with no shipping charge. It was supposed to be silver but arrived as a goldish-brown color. Rather than bother me with the stress of this information, they just painted it to match my car for no extra charge! All said and done, it was a good price for honest car service. I am the proud owner of a brand new 2014 inspection sticker. They didn't take advantage of my car ignorance, or the fact that in was a young girl by herself-- with a jacked up car, that was desperately in need of some TLC. 5 stars from me. Thanks for everything! read more

Exceptional work, and the owner is a really fair and responsive guy. Went above and beyond to help. This is a great business to help you out with anything related to bodywork. Thank you! read more

I have a 17 year old Mercedes which had a badly faded hood and some rust bubbles. I brought the car Blue Star. They recommended painting the hood roof and trunk lid and the bumpers. So I agreed when I got the estimate which was reasonable. A week later I picked up the car and it looked like new. They also fully detailed the car, it was vacuumed wheels cleaned, showroom condition. Totally pleased with the results. And maybe not relevant to some people, it's a family operation. Mom was working in the office, dad and sons where there, I got the sense they take real pride in there work. Of course I hope I don't need to spend more money on my car but if I do I'm going back to Blue Star. read more

Amazing. Simply AMAZING!!! I cannot say more than that. From the job done to customer service all 10 stars. read more

I had a very good experience with the shop and with Ivan. I needed a small repair and Ivan took care of it with no problem. Based on my positive experience, I would go here again to talk to Ivan and have other work done. I felt he was very good about it and cared about my problem, and resolved it with ease. read more

My car was sideswiped on one side, and then three months later later, I scraped the other side in a gas station really badly. Two different insurance claims, no adjuster to inspect the car, yet Blue Star handled all the details and returned my car on time and as good as new! A miracle ! Our family is so grateful, and we are enjoying our summer vacation with our beautiful vehicle! Thank you Ivan and Cody for your incredible persistence and expert service. I am a long-time customer and recommend Blue Star big-time. read more

I can only agree with the previous reviews. Dropped my beloved FX35 off after a parking incident. Nothing major but still needed a little dent fixed and a small paint job to get it back looking new. Ivan, who runs the place, is a really nice guy and talks to you in a manner that makes you feel good about what he want to do to fix it and that doing so without you feeling being cleaned out. The guys working there also seem to take pride in what they do. Got a price quote at the official Infinity shop prior to heading down to Blue Star and I saved roughly 40% from the original Infinity quote and the car looks great. I definitely will go back if I have too. read more

I haven't written a review on Yelp since.. Well, since I lived in San Francisco. But this was worth it. My driver's side car window had been smashed in and I needed to get it fixed. Usually I've gone to two hour auto glass in Windsor Terrace- and they do a good job- but to be quite honest, living in Greenpoint, I didn't really feel like sitting on glass shards and rolling down the BQE just to go to someplace familiar. So I looked this place up on Yelp and decided to take a chance. Totally worth it. Not only was the price $50 less than what I had paid the last time a window was smashed in 3 years ago, the work was done IN AN HOUR, the car was entirely cleaned out on the inside and the people in the office were incredibly helpful and polite. (I hope this doesn't mean that the prices are going to go up now..) Oh, and it was 4 blocks away from my house. Anyways, the only downside is that it was a bit hard to find, considering there were half a dozen auto body shops on the block. Its on the south side of the street, across from the yellow sign auto body shop. The sign is there, I just didn't see it initially. read more

Blue star is has a four star rating and has the potential for five stars but they lacking detail. I have a 09 Chrysler 300 that had front end damage. MY car had custom parts that were damaged. And the parts were hard to find. I got lucky and eventually found the parts. They did a good job I wish I could say amazing, but as I said lacking detail. For me it's the little things. I Recommend them! read more

Horrible Service. Ivan, the manager of this auto body shop, is a scam artist. He wants to give you the impression that he cares about your car and that he cares about saving you money, but in reality all he cares about is emptying your pockets. Took my 2010 Dodge Challenger to Blue Star because of the great reviews (I live in the Bronx, so I traveled a great distance to get the best work possible). First of all, Ivan, the manager, refused to give me an estimate when I 1st met him. He danced around the question and convinced me to give him a day or two so he can give me an accurate or close to accurate estimate. Days passed & nothing. By the 5th day Ivan tells me that he can't give me an estimate until the insurance appraiser inspects the vehicle, we argued and finally I went back to Brooklyn and told Ivan to give me my car back. Once I tell him that I wanted my car back, then all of a sudden he decides to get to work on that estimate for me. He did it for me in 10 minutes. I took my car anyway. I told Ivan that I don't appreciate him jerking me around and I don't appreciate traveling over an hour on the train to get an estimate that could've been given to me over the phone. He got upset and tried to lay a guilt trip on me, tried to convince me that I owed him $150, He tells me "storage & handling"!! UNBELIEVABLE!! I told him to go F$&@ off, didn't give him a dime. Then I get into my car and find my interior driver side door panel is a wreck from the workers going in/out the vehicle as dirty as possible. I look in my glove compartment and I find a parking ticket -of all things- given to me while Blue Star maintained my vehicle parked on the street. Storage & Handling my a$$! Don't go here if you value your money and your car. If you like driving a dirty car, parking tickets and loosing money & time. Come down to Blue Star where all your dreams come to life. read more

This was my second visit to Blue Star Bros with my 2000 BMW which had front & some side damage. This time I did not bother shopping around & comparing etc. as I did approx. 2 years ago on my first visit. Needless to say this alone saved much hassle and time. Ivan dealt with their insurance co (yes-the other driver was at fault) which saved further hassle. I was also offered a ride to the rental car. Now I must say that this time I was not quite as amazed as when I picked up my car the first time around! But-Obviously, I had been spoiled the first time so I did have very high expectations. Was I happy with the results- was the body work every bit as good? Absolutely! Blue Star not only did excellent auto body repairs but gives excellence in service as well!. read more

Was recommended by a friend to check this place out and I'm glad I did! They are very reliable and give a fair price on their services.

I leased a VW Rabbit and two weeks before I was ready to turn it in and buy a new car, it got smashed while parked by a tractor trailer... Luckily, the cops were near by and got the truck driver before he could pull away. The whole passenger side was crushed! So here I am, with a leased car that has to be turned in within a matter of days with no passenger side left on the car. Thank goodness for Yelp. I'm originally from Philly and had no idea where to go... These guys made this thing look like brand new. When I returned the Rabbit to Manhattan VW I wasn't charged a penny for any damages. They did such a good job, that he even repaired things (minor dents and dings) AND shampooed the interior for free so I didn't have a bill sent to me from the leasing agency! Then, it gets better... I bought my new car. Brand new VW TDI. I was parked at the Atlantic Terminal and a cab side-swiped it while parked! AGAIN! Not the end of the world, but a def scrape down the driver's side. I brought it to Blue Star and they painted and buffed the scratches for free and they did it that day!!! He said I was such a pleasant customer, and he did end up making good money on the leased car that he waived the cost! The car once again looked like new. Every body shop should take lessons from these guys. Not only were the prices reasonable, they understand how to get repeat business. They have earned themselves a customer for life. This is how ANY business should be ran. read more

Twice I have called Blue Star Brothers for same day service to re-up my inspection sticker -- both times they fit me in same day and made it a quick, seamless process. Recommend! read more

Easily the best auto shop in the city. Ivan and co. work quickly, thoroughly, communicatively and, most importantly, HONESTLY. Anyone with a car in this town has been ripped off at least a handful of times by less than reputable shop managers. Never the case with Ivan. The first time I came into the shop, I was quoted a very reasonable estimate for body work to my Jeep and the estimate held. No last minute unverifiable issues resulting in additional charges. No weird fees added on at the end. Nothing like that. I swore from that day on that I'd never set foot in another shop again - and I haven't. I've even moved my company's vehicle maintenance account to Blue Star. That's how much I love this place. There are few businesses that I like to gush about. This is one of them. This place is top notch. Look no further than Blue Star. read more

Ivan and Blue Star Brothers were superb when they fixed our daughter's car. So helpful and professional. We highly recommend to anyone in the NYC area. read more

I had a little run-in with a Hasidic mini-van on Broadway and Hooper (who hasn't - those guys drive like aggressive maniacs) and had to get the front headlight on my Volvo 240 replaced. After my really great experience at Blue Star over the summer, I went back. I'm always wary about going to mechanics or doing any car-related stuff because I know nothing about them. As a woman, I feel especially vulnerable walking into these "masculine" places, where I feel like I'm at an immediate disadvantage. I've felt targeted before by mechanics as the dumb broad who can be taken advantage of since she doesn't know a thing about cars. I didn't feel this at all at Blue Star. The owner, Ivan, treats me like an equal. He explains everything he has done, showing me the parts he replaced and why he had to replace them. I feel certain he is completely honest - an all-around stand-up guy. I, once again, recommend this place without reservations. If you have any body work you need done, go there! The prices are fair, the work is excellent. read more

So I took my Toyota Corolla 05 here after some douche bag backed up too much and hit my driver side fender and a lil strip from my door. I took it here because of all the good reviews but man i tell you what they took their sweet time on a 2-3 day job. I took the car in on Monday and didnt get back until Saturday. The job they did was good but they left the inside of my car dirty like crazy and i some wear and tear on my driver side mirror and inside my door by the small speaker. Would I take it back here? Yes! but i would tell them to stop being so sloppy! The body and paint job was a++ tho.. bring your car here just be upfront and make sure they dont leave the inside dirty. read more

They were very helpful, decently priced, kind and accommodating. Highly recommended! read more

Ivan and his team really impressed me with the quality and efficiency of their work. I brought my 8-year old BMW in to have the bumpers repaired (damage from a parallel parking on NYC streets). I dropped off my car on Monday morning, and they were finished with it on Wednesday afternoon...two-days earlier then they had originally planned! The car looked incredible, absolutely brand-new. I would absolutely trust your vehicle to Ivan! read more

Had to have some body work done. They did their best to reduce the cost and ended up coming 400 below the initial estimate. Got my business for life. read more

Well, the first time I had Blue star Brothesr Auto collision work on my 2008 Nissan Altima, someone that work across the street from my job hit my car and she also lived in the Greenpoint Brooklyn area, her husband that she call came over and said he will pay for it and took me over to the Blue Star Brothes Auto Collision and they fix my car and met Ivan the owner, he was nice, they did a good job and again my 2008 Nissan Altima was hit and I came to Blue Star Brother to repair my car again they did a good job, then few years later I bought my 2013 Nissan Altima in July of 2012 and have no luck, again I was hit on March 31, 2013 and the 3rd time I took my car on April 6,2013 to Blue Star Auto Collision to repair my car, so anybody need a good reliable auto body shop, I recommend Blue Star Brothers Auto Collision and speak to the owner Ivan Thank You Blue Star Brothers Auto Collision Ronnie read more

Ivan (the dad) and Ivan (the son) are as fast and good as it gets. Highest recommendation, I almost want to wreck my car in order to work with them again. To start with the work is immaculate - IMMACULATE - and dirt cheap -- they did a $3000 job for us for $1250. The car was a Mercedes C300. The guys are absolutely sweet, kind, efficient and considerate. They came in earlier than promised and under budget. I can be a real knuckle-dragging jerk, but simply couldn't be more pleased at how things went. I carry their business cards in my wallet and recommend them to anybody. Just in case any Manhattanites are scared off a trip to Brooklyn, this one is a simple trek. Take the 59th street bridge, a right onto Jackson avenue, proceed for about a mile and take a left onto the Pulaski Bridge, then a quick left onto India - they are half way up the block on the right. Subway is 2 blocks away or they are happy to call a car service for you. Awesome. Thanks guys! (In the public interest, please do either print the coupon from their website or mention the Yelp discount. It is a real discount and we got it!) read more

Theses guys were great. Small family owned but they work really hard. I had my car towed there because of A flat tire and they worked with my private insurance to fix it all. read more

Great experience here. Got a proper diagnosis and a fair quote from the owner. The problem was fixed faster than I expected and the final price was less than the quoted amount. I took the car upstate the next day and had no problems with the wheel at all. The owner is extremely personable and trustworthy. His staff was also a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend. read more

I've had multiple cars fixed here over the years, this place is 5 stars! They do great work at very reasonable prices. read more

First things first, the owners of this place are indeed extremely nice fellas. They are patient, attentive, reasonably priced and all around likable. But on to the important stuff: the work... The work I had performed was rather simple, a small re-paint job on a newer model sedan door. While not "horrific", it was barely acceptable. The color match was perfect but that's the easy part. There were many, many dust marks, imperfections and spots on the new paint. Surprisingly these imperfections were presented as being quite "normal" by one of the partners. What? They eventually offered to repaint it. Great, I thought. But the result was exactly the same. While not huge issues, a few peeves: - They were 9 hours AHEAD of the promised completion time the first time (a rushed job or overestimation?) - They were unable to deliver as promised the second time, delaying delivery several times including another overnight and delay. - The general cleaning inside and out was terrible; grease marks on the leather, smudge marks on the glass everywhere, heavy compound residue on the sides and undercarriage. I did notice many of the other rave reviews (which are unusually all fives) were for work on older model cars. Maybe they perform better work on older models, or maybe it's just less noticeable. I notice other reviewers with newer models are also not happy. Maybe they just dropped the ball on this one. However, when a place has an unusual number of five star ratings and then several others at the other end of the spectrum, you have to wonder. Overall, not impressed. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back to this place should I need future body work done. read more

This place is HORRIBLE! Do not go to them. I went there to fix my car the oxygen censor and the neutral safety switch were what needed to be fixed. They charged me $1600 to fix just that. They over charged me!!!! The mechanics here are not real mechanics or new at what they do. They took TWO WEEKs to give me my car back. Please dont go here if you want good service and if you dont want to get ripped off. read more

I took our brand new (less than 1500 miles) honda in after scraping and denting along one side and back bumper. (Argh). I spoke frequently to Ivan and his team who were friendly, clear and prompt in answering my questions via email and phone and flexible in dealing with me and with our insurance. The repair work is beautiful and the car came back looking better than new: they did the extra step of sending our car out for detailed cleaning after the repairs. Their estimate was really close to our insurance estimate minimizing the back and forth time waste. It was clear that if I had any problems or concerns about the repair work, - which I had none- that they would take any problem seriously and aim to solve it. I picked them off the internet based on yelp reviews and a location near us. We live in Manhattan on the east side. There is a subway a short walk from them or Enterprise car rental as well. I would definitely go to them again - though I hope I don't need to soon! read more

I support all of the positive reviews on Blue Star. In 2009, the passenger side of our Civic was smashed by an SUV in a parking lot, which also caused the door not to be able to open. We brought the car to Blue Star after shopping and pricing around the area. These guys were reasonably priced and nice! They did a great job -- good as new. Then, in 2010, we found a hole in our bumper (there was literally a clean, round hole in it, as if a motorcycle tail pipe had been touching it when it started). We didn't think twice, and brought it back to Blue Star Brothers. Again, they did a good job at a fair price. read more
