First of all, I would like to say ,in business, "Honesty is good Policy." Having said that, I must…read moresay that Maaco of Lakewood, the owner, as well as his autobody workers, follow that statement to the letter. I had a different Maaco in Neptune, INITIALLY fix my front bumper after an accident that damaged my front bumper. At first I thought that the Neptune Maaco did a good job on the bumper and thought nothing of it until a couple months later, I discovered that the passenger part of the bumper was sticking out! Little did I know that there was more than meets the eye at that time. I returned to the Neptune location and asked that the bumper be replaced due to faulty material/bumper since it was poor production, but i was met with negativism and denial of claim, as according to the owner of that Maaco, "there must have been an accident." I told him there was no accident and this bumper must be defective for 1 clip slot to break. After 3 FRUSTRATING weeks of phone calls, they decided to finally get me the replacement bumper and i picked it up painted- free of charge. NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS! I made 1 phone call to LAKEWOOD Maaco and spoke with Bob, who was more than friendly and accommodated my request of installation at a reasonable fee the following day. When the technician took the car back in the shop and started to fix it, RIGHT off the bat, he discovered multiple WRONG parts GLUED to each other and missing hardware and bent frames! I was appalled that the Neptune Maaco did all these wrong things and offered/passed on back to me as normal, after i had paid alot of money to have it fixed! However, LAKEWOOD Maaco FIXED those wrong things and kept their word on the fee and maintained constant communication with me during the installation. I cannot PRAISE Lakewood Maaco enough for their EXCELLENT WORK ETHICS and HONESTY!!!!! There is no Maaco Better than LAKEWOOD MAACO! The photos i have attached show you how well they fit my car with the new bumper and after they corrected all the mistakes! I only wish that the corporate office takes this COMPLIMENT to heart and REWARD the owner and the workers for their Great Customer Service! I will DEFINITELY tell all to use Lakewood Maaco as their Body Shop/Paint. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT JOB YOU ARE DOING GUYS! T.B. BRICK, NJ

This shop made this an extremely smooth process as the exchange of insurance and their communication on what they planned for my vehicle made this incident stress free. The staff at this location is incredible, Stacy specifically made this interaction so amazing as she reassured me through her constant best interest in my car's repair and her kindness truly led the way. They also included plenty of benefits as the repair was reasonably priced, including a lifetime warranty, and they were generous enough to clean my car as well! Overall, this auto shop is excellent for every reason, I could not recommend it more!

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
