Dent outlined with green marker

You have to experience this shop to believe it. G & R stands head and shoulders above a swamp of shady and disreputable collision shops. It is a beacon of integrity and fair dealing. The rear passenger door of my Camry was dented while it was parked overnight at the MPG Lincoln Square parking garage, where I am a monthly customer. (Unless you can produce a witness who saw them make the dent, they do not accept responsibility for any damage.) The dent was about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long and went down to the bare metal. I contacted various collision shops, all of whom had good ratings and reviews. (Memo: be wary of good reviews.) Typical of the morass was Gotham City Collision. From a picture I sent, they stated the cost would be $1300-1500 with parts, labor, and paint. After taking the car to them and then getting a highball price revision for door moldings, the cost ballooned to $1908. I decided to buy the moldings myself ($322) and bring them to a different shop. I had sent the dent picture to several which proved to be in the same price range, so I almost fell out of my chair when Rosie from G & R Auto Services phoned me with a price of $400. I thought for sure this would be a lowball price that they would jack up after I took in the car. But I decided that, even if they doubled the price, I would still come out ahead compared to the other shops. I took the car to their shop in Woodside. It is kind of a dumpy neighborhood, but the inside of their workshop is sparkling. Rosie came out and marked the dent with a green marker, plus a few other spots (bumper, mirror) for touch-up. She wanted to keep the car 3 days which was fine. You will love her; she is very personable and considerate. The shop did a beautiful job, with the new paint graduated into the old so you cannot tell. They did not need to paint the front passenger door, which Gotham City Collision insisted was necessary. And most shocking of all, the price stayed at a firm $400, plus tax and a 4% surcharge for paying by credit card. Nobody looks forward to taking a car in for body work, but I would be delighted to go back to G & R if my car needs it in the future. If you have a good car that you want to hang onto and keep it looking nice, G & R will surely help you do that. An amazing experience. By the way, Gotham City Collision was wrong when they told me the moldings would have to be replaced. Gotham said they were attached only with tape and would be wrecked by removing. Actually, the moldings have three camloc snap-fit fasteners that push into holes in the door (plus double-faced tape). The old moldings were not damaged by G & R Auto Services when removed. They are total professionals.

I took my 2015 Q5 into G & R for a bumper touch up and chip repair. While I was at it, I wanted a little something done to set it apart from other Q5's on the road. Mission accomplished. My car looks brand new and looks badass. Anthony is a professional who pays attention to detail and doesn't take short cuts. Whatever the job, expect that it will be done right the first time at a competitive price and in a timely manner. G&R is my go to shop for any and all body repairs - doesn't matter that live 50 miles away!

It is a small family business and the parents are very friendly. The total cost ended up being double the estimate, though.

Dino did a good job on our car that we were preparing to return at the end of its lease. He was…read morepunctual, and he worked quickly. We took off a star because the end cost was more than double the initial estimate. We were initially quoted $700 for the work based on the pictures I sent, and after a phone call when I explained the issues, he said give or take $200 more, but in the end, we had to pay $1,500 (plus a $100 tip). Dino explained that this was because there was some work needed that wasn't visible in the photos I sent. It might still be a good price overall compared to what I'll pay at the body shop, but for other potential buyers, just make sure you send all the photos of the things that need repairing so that you don't get surprised by the end cost.

The paint match was absolutely perfect, and you can't even tell where the damage was. I was pleasantly surprised that he was able to accommodate me with same-day service, and he came right to my location and completed the entire job in just three hours. What really stood out was how much pride he takes in his work. He even polished my rims as an extra touch because he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and making sure the customer is happy. Dino was professional, convenient, meticulous, and clearly passionate about what he does. I couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend!

The first time was due to my parked car being vandalized. The last two occasions were a result of my catalytic converter being stolen. After the 1st cat theft, however, I brought my car to a different nearby insurance company repair shop, which ended up not a good experience. During the over 7 months it took to get the cat, I had to repeatedly follow up observing that shop wasn't actively checking on the part's availability with their supplier. So on the 2nd cat theft, I instead brought it to Gotham. As with my first Gotham experience, they were on top of things, quickly repairing the vehicle. Less than three months later when victim of a 3rd cat theft, Gotham rapidly inspected the car and did their best to keep the repair bill down. Nevertheless, the estimate ended up triggering the insurance company totaling my car. Sensitive to my frustrating situation, the team at Gotham was professional, courteous, attentive and accommodating - like every experience with them. Gotham thankfully made a difficult situation easier to get through. Should my next car require similar big repair work, I'd consider using them again.

Usually, they're easy and fast to schedule, park, and pay for any service, ranging from oil changes to repairs. I'm usually in and out within an hour because my parents are waiting in the lobby and get restless if they're seated too long. What's key for me is their expertise to inspect annually for any maintenance issues and troubleshoot the root causes that cause our car alarm to turn on randomly at night, a faulty transmission, etc. We've tried Honda dealers, but they usually upsell us or charge higher rates where the returns on investment don't support their surcharges. I realized that the staff here is likely too candid to know how to sweet talk customers and sugar coat any recommendations. They tried several times to dissuade my dad from fixing a 2001 Odyssey van because it wasn't worth the value of the car from two decades of depreciation with issues, ranging from air conditioning to a stolen catalytic converter when parked on the street in New York City. However, my dad insisted on repairing it because it was useful for transporting larger items, ranging from equipment to furniture. It's truly hard to find mechanics and a body shop you trust to bring your car and those of your loved ones. It helps that their crew (e.g., Ricky) can speak Chinese slowly and clearly to relate to my dad with his hearing impairments. Nobody's perfect in this imperfect world, so sometimes you need to take a leap of faith and find someone willing to work with you and relay all the info that you need to decide how to move forward or not with fixing your car. For me, it's better to hear the good, bad, and ugly truth than to not know the inside scoop for making a more informed decision, especially the tough ones.
