Best service and quality work . Quick too. Highly recommend Garden State Collision ! read more

The owner (Steve Jr. K) of this shop was extremely disrespectful throughout my experience. I received a call stating that the key to my vehicle had been misplaced and that I would need to provide a spare. I explained that my company only issues spare keys in emergency situations and asked if he could continue searching for the missing key. Instead of addressing the issue, he responded dismissively, telling me to stop focusing (dwelling) on the key and implying that if my vehicle had been in an accident, it wouldn't be in the shop. I reiterated that it is the shop's responsibility to keep track of the vehicle key. He then replied, "Well, I won't have it until next week." He then intentionally hung up on me while speaking. Additionally, I was informed that the necessary parts are on backorder, meaning my car will not be repaired anytime soon. Overall, my experience was very unpleasant, and I would strongly advise against using this shop. The owner seemed very prejudiced as well. If you're an organization with a fleet of vehicles. I would recommend Livingston Collision Inc, they were able to provide me with amazing services. read more

Top notch work as always! Steve and his team got my wifes truck looking perfect again! We've been using garden state collision for years and will never go anywhere else. read more

Garden State Collision - Before - Body Shops Near Me - Union, New Jersey

See all

Who ever wants to go to a body shop? it cann only be because something bad has happened. Having said that, I can say without reservation I am very grateful I found myself in Garden State Collision when I needed body work on my car. And I couldn't be more pleased with the work that was done to get my car looking like new again! From the moment I arrived for an estimate, the professionalism of the place impressed me. In no time, the insurance company approved the estimate, and i scheduled the work. Sure enough, they completed the work on time, and within budget. I hope I never bring my car to them again, but if I must I know it will be handled well. Many thanks to owner Steve Kilian! read more

They are very honest, responsible & respectful. I've dealt with them after 2 accidents.

Phenomenal service! I had somebody back into my car in a parking lot which left a large hole. I wasn't able to bring my car in to the shop personally for a quote because of my busy schedule I called these guys, explained the damage, sent some pictures, and gave my VIN number. They gave me an honest quote right away and were able to accommodate the fact that I wouldn't be able to pick my car up right away as well. The quote I was given over the phone was exactly what I payed, no extra charges, no BS!! These guys are the real deal Thank you!! read more

You want easy to deal with, honest,and quality work DO YOURSELF A FAVOR Come to Garden State Both Steve Sr. and Jr. are the real Amigos. I can't believe these other reviews of one star, they are Great judges of character so I'm guessing these folks must be Dodgy like in Dodge City. "When They work,it's Good work No need To talk" read more

Came in to fix the moulding on side of my car. They were able to ship the piece I needed right away, and it came within the next few days. When I brought my car in they immediately got to work installing it and it was super quick. Piece was expensive but I expected that. Overall good customer service, efficient. read more

But idk who has the money to pay for these crooks out of pocket . Do not recommend at all be safe and stay away from this place !!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This place is AMAZING!!! Mr. Steve is incredibly kind, communicative and helpful. He gave me a really honest price, explained all of the parts and labor costs on a repair job and had it all done in one day. He called me once it was done. I will definitely be coming back here again! read more

I can't say enough good things about this shop! Being new to NJ I really rely on reviews and I am happy to give this shop mine... #1) Steve Jr was kind enough to help me get my car seats in my rental car. True lifesaver! #2) The work I got done looks great. #3) When I picked up my car I got it back washed from head to toe inside and out, felt like a brand new car! Thank you so much for the excellent service! read more

The fine folks at Garden State Collision literally made my day when they reattached my bumper free of charge. I came in to ask for an estimate, fully expecting a headache and some insurance wrangling, instead they helped me assess what I really wanted done on my bumper and then took care of it for free! I owe them, as a young woman with less than a clue about cars I'm always worried about getting fleeced but now I'm a customer for life! Thanks! read more

It's been a while since I've had to bring my vehicle here but Steve took care of all my accidents and I have to say this is the best body shop ever! I live in Howell Nj now and I would continue to bring my car here! read more

Garden state collision is the best!!!! My daughter got into an accident with my car, other person was totally at fault. I had no idea how to even start going about the process since my car was pretty smashed. Somebody recommended I go there. I called Steve the owner and explain the situation and he walked me through the whole entire process. My car was finished in a week which I was shocked I thought it would be like a month to fix. The car looks like nothing ever happened to it. I would recommend everybody to use Garden State collision if you're ever in an accident. They're fast, quick , friendly and go above and beyond for their customers. read more

Reliable, friendly, professional and trained. In addition to the quality, Steve went above and beyond with my Grand Cherokee. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Garden State Collision - Overland's fixed rear end. - Body Shops Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I brought my car in for an estimate and Steve, the owner sent one of the workers to look at the damages. As I was explaining things the guy didn't stay with me but rather was walking around to the other side. I had damage in both my car doors from someone trying to break in and some small rust spots. I also needed additional work on a fender. Steve quoted me a price for the 2 car doors so I asked him if I had the fender done what would he quote me for all the work and he gave me a very good discounted price. I had brought my car there once before and liked their work. This time however, when I got my car back and I looked it over, I saw they missed some spots on the inside of my car doors. Steve kept saying had I pointed these out they would of taken care of it. I had pointed it out but the guy didn't bother to stay and listen to me. Steve told me to bring the car back the following week to "buff" out the areas and I could wait for the car. After inspecting the car again, I noticed some black paint specs on one door. When I brought the car back in and told Steve this, he said "I can't imagine how they got there, but we'll take a look". I felt uneasy about how I was being treated. I waited for my car and after about 20 mins. one of Steve's sons brought the car out for me. I looked it over and it appeared they just sloppily covered the areas with paint. When I pointed out the area of the rust spot still showing through he told me not to worry about it because it was high up on the car door. I also pointed out a piece of molding that had some small abrasions on it and he just said that was never in the original estimate. Frustrated I took the car home and decided to never go there again. I cannot believe how so many people gave them 5 stars!!! read more

Steve and the guys at GSC are everything you want in a body shop: available, friendly, fast and most importantly, honest! I brought my Subaru Outback baby in here with a bumper boo boo on a today and they fixed her up in 10 minutes! Steve told me that they could fix the dent, but that if I wanted the scratches on the plastic out, I'd have to go ahead and get a new one. I opted for the former and now my baby just has a little tough look to her. GSC is the best! If you want a trustworthy and easy experience, call them! PS if you are coming from Millburn/Short Hills area turn onto Spruce BEFORE you pass the place. You can't really turn right to get in from the intersection once you pass it. read more

We had an accident repair done back a few years ago and remembering how professional and honest they were, we returned with our current car for a minor repair. Not only did they remember us but made the repair quickly and without charge! It's nice to know that there are still honest and friendly businessmen in our local area! Thanks Steve! Excellent job! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I will go out of my way to avoid dealing with these crooks again, and tell everyone in need of bodywork the details of my experience. Originally, I had a damaged car that I was going to get fixed once the adjuster came and wrote an estimate. Steve's son was interested in buying the car from me. I told him I wanted to see what the total damage was and then I would decide what I wanted to do with the car. Once I found out the car was not totaled, I decided I was going to sell it. Steve and his son low balled me and used the fact that the car was sitting in their lot accruing storage fees as leverage. After considering offers that were thousands of dollars higher, the storage fees made it worth it to leave the car where it was...not to mention it would have needed to be towed out of the shop. I told Steve that I would sell him the car for the agreed upon low ball price. I then went to take my possessions out of the trunk (car cover and aftermarket exhaust) and collect final payment. Steve would not let me remove these items saying that they were part of the deal. I told him no they weren't and I had already told another person that I would sell them the exhaust. I was stuck without a tow truck to take the car, so I counted the money for the car, managed not to assault Steve's son, and never returned. They sold that car, which had substantial damage, without disclosing the repair and probably made a killing. In fact he told me he wanted to hurry the repair and sell it before the accident gets reported to carfax. To anyone who bought a black 2004 corvette z06 with 23k miles from Garden State Collision, I would check the carfax. I can't believe that they have a 5 star rating...I guess those 3 people have not been screwed yet by this shady business. Regardless of the quality of their work, which is actually very good (I had a motorcycle painted and fairings plastic welded), I will never give them another dime of business and will do everything I can to warn hard working people about these crooks. read more

This place is absolutely AMAZING and the most trust worthy place I have probably ever seen, especially in the state. Right away, from the general quote/inspection of getting my Ford fixed and needing a repair, I was so comfortable right away and the price was so fair! Family owned place and Steve was so polite and professional. Didn't have to wait long and put my mind at ease right away. Worth the drive if you are not in the area- this is the only place in NJ I would take my car to. So thankful to have found! read more

GSC did an excellent job fixing my nearly new Highlander. Finished quicker than quoted and the repairs looked like new. Clean shop and Steve couldn't have been better to work with. read more

Took my car here last week and was completely satisfied with the level of service I received. Not only was the work done correctly but the quote came in $300 cheaper than any other Auto Body shop. The guy I dealt with Steve was fantastic, will always point people towards this place, total professionals.. read more

I recently used Garden State Collision to have my bumper replaced, and the experience greatly exceeded my expectations. First, I appreciated their integrity in suggesting a (less expensive) after-market part, which wasn't the case when I visited a different local shop. The estimate and appointment scheduling process at GSC was a breeze, with literally no pressure whatsoever. I was able to drop my car off in the morning, and the work was completed within a matter of hours. They even went the extra mile to apply touch up paint to another part of the car, and wash my car, both free of charge. On top of all that, they courteously delivered my car to my job (which was nearby) when done. I decided to go with this place because of their strong Better Business Bureau rating, and the good vibe I got from the start. I am now very pleased with the experience, including with their friendliness, professionalism, and work quality. For any gal out there feeling anxiety about finding a repair place, choose Garden State Collision and put your mind at ease! read more
