I had a tree limb fall on my almost-new car which left dents on the top and corner of the roof just above the driver's side door. I asked for a recommendation of a body shop from my very trusted mechanic and he instantly recommended Hamden Auto Body. I can't say enough good things about the shop and staff at Hamden Auto Body. They made the process of getting my pretty little car back to looking brand new easy and mostly painless. The worked with me and my insurance company and kept me informed the entire way. Joe and everyone at the office were professional, pleasant, friendly and kind. They even picked me up (I live in town) to give me a ride to the shop to pick up my car. And, I was so pleased to see that not only were the dents and scratches fixed, but the car's interior had been detailed as well. The car looks like the day I picked it up at the dealership. Thanks Hamden Auto Body! read more

Many many Thanks to all at Hamden Auto Body for their kind and professional service. They were not only fast but went out of their way to find us the parts we needed at a reasonable price. Being on a budget this was beyond appreciated. We were visiting from Los Angeles and were thrilled they were able to fit us in as well as the work being top notch. I highly recommend them to anyone in the area. Thanks Again, Kelly Thompson read more

They did a great job and were straight up with what they said. They were knowledgeable and courteous.

I couldn't be happier having chosen Hamden for my collision repair. Everyone involved in this operation, from the front office team to the repair technicians was a joy to work with. They added some much-needed humanity, compassion, and professionalism to an otherwise stressful moment in my life after a major accident. My car looks and runs good as new, and the communication throughout the estimate and repair process were fantastic. I am forever grateful to the team here for their kindness and stellar craftsmanship read more

I'm having very mixed feelings about this place. I came in for work on my car because I got into an accident, they took my car worked with insurance company and put me in a rental easy no problem. After what was almost a month of waiting for my vehicle to be ready I finally get the call to come pick up my car which I do right before work. On my way to work I feel something is off and just then someone waves me down to tell me my back tire looks really loose. Nothing I could've done because I was on my way to work but once I get to work I tighten the lug nuts down and sure enough they were ridiculously loose. I come in the next day to the shop because I want my tires realigned and for a second they tried to deny working on my tires when in my hand I'm holding THEIR tire alignment before and after sheet for my vehicle. At which point they proceed to take my car and get the work done right before I'm headed to work. I'm on the highway and as I'm braking I hear a really bad weird scraping noise. Metal on metal. Come in the next day and apparently they forgot to tighten a screw on my brakes. . Kind of very annoying I had to go back three days in a row for little mistakes that should have never happened in the first place. Loose tire. Forgetting to tighten a screw on brake. Both pretty bad but they did the work no problem or extra charge of course. read more

I can't say enought how accomodating and professional Hamden Auto Body is. My daughter is a nearby college student who needed a mirror repair on her car. Not knowing the area, we turned to online. We happened to come across this body shop, read the reviews, trusted the reviews and so glad we did. The expedited service, communication, the accomodation for my daughter's schedule was top notch. After completing the repair, which was so professionally done, the auto shop brought an issue to my daughter's attention and ordered the part needed to fix it before the damage could become worse. I highly recommend Hamden Auto Body for any repair needed. From the front desk to behind the scenes, they definitley put their customer's first. read more

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value My brand new van got scratched all over by a metal shovel (don't ask!). I came to this business crying. They worked with my insurance company and the rental car company so I didn't have to worry. They took meticulous care of my van and it came out looking better then new. During the process, they texted me to tell me what step they were on. I was able to call and text with questions, and they responded very quickly. They were always kind and courteous, treating me like their most important customer. Great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Based on other Yelp reviews, I took my Subaru Forester to this shop for an estimate after a rear-end collision. I chose this shop to do the repairs after my initial visit. The staff there was reassuring about the repair and pretty much took over the procedures and protocols of dealing with the insurance company, adjustor, and rental car company. In addition to the work, which the shop says is verified by Subaru, it was returned to me fully detailed as well as repaired -- a happy surprise. The repair took longer than I had expected and over a week more than the original promised date, but apparently the pandemic affects the supply chain (etc.) and inspection calendar, so I did not lower my rating because of this issue. Bottom line, I appreciate that the entire staff responded to my needs and kept me posted along the way. And I love that they were able to keep my Forester on the road. read more

I had a very unfortunate year with my car involving multiple accidents (e.g. a car hit mine in a parking lot just weeks after getting it fixed). As a result, I have had a lot of experience with Hamden Auto Body. They did all the heavy lifting with my low rate insurance to make sure I received OEM parts and high quality repairs, restoring my Subaru back to manufacturing standards. Each time my car looked brand new. More importantly though, I had no question about the safety of the vehicle. In addition, everyone I interacted with there was incredibly friendly, helpful and courteous. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else in Connecticut. read more

I had a minor fender bender but had to get my whole trunk gate replaced. Hamden auto was amazing! They arranged the rental and even extended it with ease while also dealing with the sloths that call themselves insurance agents . It was great I was texting Nicole the entire way and getting automatic status updates too. Really Great communication! Highly recommend. read more

Hamden Auto Body was 100% speedy with service, They took care of me from the moment I walked in, they constantly updated me on my repairs, They were kind enough to give me a courtesy ride home since My insurance did not cover a rental. Very friendly staff, you can tell they care about quality over quantity! When i picked my car up, My car couldn't start up so they made it their duty to charge my battery and check if the engine was okay! I truly appreciate Hamden Auto Body and I recommend them to anyone I come in counter with! Thank You Hamden Auto Body You Have me as a customer From the day I walked in To any day forward! -Neisha read more

This place is amazing! Got me scheduled quickly and picked up my care the same day. The staff is awesome! Down to earth and friendly people. Convenient location and great value. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are awesome. My first encounter with them was a little more than a year ago when I had hit a fire hydrant. Took nearly a month to get my car back, but it wasn't there fault at all. My insurance company was being a pain and these guys tried their best to be accommidating to the inconvience the insurance company was causing. They actually let me have a rental until I can get my car back on their expense! They've been really wonderful through the process. A few months later, there was some rattling happening in the car, they checked it out quick and it was all fixed. That might have been a courtsey job seeing that they didn't charge me for it. This past week I had to go to them again because I was in Philadephia over the weekend and some jerk smashed my window. I probably should have vaccumed the broken glass but they obviously did that. But what was great, I forgot to mention to them how the "curtain" to the airbag in the front passenger side was coming off. And when I got the car back, I had looked to the right and noticed they did it without me even saying anything! At no charge either! Earlier last month I had gone to the dealership since there was a recall on a part and mentioned it to them and they wanted to charge me $30 for the "part" and labor of fixing it. Overall Oren is fantastic, and Nicole is equally as great! :) read more

It was unfortunate that I was in a car accident, but Hamden Auto Body made the best of a bad situation. Everyone I dealt with was very professional and the body work was top notch. Well done Hamden Auto Body! read more

Giving these guys 5 stars was an easy decision. Always quick, always fair, and always give the best price. I've been here personally at least 5 times (unfortunately) and they've always provided better service than expected. If you're looking for a trustworthy shop to take care of your vehicle, this is your lifer. read more

I caused about $3500.00 damage to my vehicle. I brought it to Hamden Auto Body. They are very professional and it was a pleasure doing business with them. I would highly recommend them!!! read more

I took my car to Hamden Auto Body after getting hit on the highway. When the insurance company totaled my car, Hamden Auto Body was an incredible help even though they weren't going to be working on my car. On four different occasions afterwards, they spent time on the phone with me, talking me through the process and helping me look out for things the insurance company was doing to pay me less. While I can't speak for their work (though someone I trust says it's excellent) but their customer service is genuinely exceptional. Any body work I need in the future will be there, no question. read more

I brought my car here after I was rear ended and the service was amazing. They worked with me to make sure I got a car rental since I am only 20 and dealt with insurance so I didn't have to. Everyone was so helpful and overall it was a good experience and the car looks like nothing even happened. read more

I hit a deer and needed some work that wasn't covered by insurance. They gave me a very honest quote and updated me on the progress of my car as it made its way through the various stages of repair at the shop via email. The body work came out great and the even vacuumed my interior. I really appreciated their honesty, reliability, transparency and customer service! This is a great local business with great staff! No one wants to have to go through car trouble/work, but Hamden Auto Body made the experience as painless as possible. Thank you! read more

My new best friends! My car got crunched in downtown New Haven and my insurance company recommended Hamden Auto Body. State Farm offers a lifetime guarantee on all their work plus a few little extras. I didn't really want to go all the way out there but I'm glad I did. The whole team was amazing. I have an insanely busy schedule right now and Wendy pretty much handled everything- has a great rapport with the insurance agencies (State Farm and Geico) and the local rental offices (Enterprise just down the street)... She pretty much had everything set up for me, paperwork, rental car, insurance agreement when I walked in the door (just call ahead and give her all the info you have). My car is now 10 years old and has seen better days after driving all over California and cross-country to Connecticut. They gave my car back clean and looking like new in a very reasonable amount of time. I got email updates every few days which was really helpful in planning how long to get the rental and when I was going to get my car back. Thank you Wendy, Oren, Hannah and anyone else who worked with me and on my car! Looks great. read more

Hamden Auto Body is seriously great! They communicate every step of the way! The insurance company had said they would only pay for me to have a "scuff buffed out" but Hamden Auto Body went back to them and said the entire bumper had to be replaced and while they did the excellent work on my bumper, I got a fancy new rental! The whole experience was better than I imagined! read more

Hate to leave a bad review since my initial conversations with them were pleasant, but I had the passenger side mirror replaced by this shop which does not match the original model of my car. After matching an estimate from another body shop, I asked the folks in charge multiple times whether it was the exact same model and they assured me that it was -- only to find out that the mirror is a different size and color than the original. Please be more transparent with your customers in the future. read more

Amazing! They were so helpful from the minute I walked in. They called my insurance and made it so we didn't have to pay anything for our broken window. They took care of the car and we had it back in a day. Wonderful people! read more

Wonderful service...everyone was attentive to our needs and concerns. the car had lots of damage from a deer and it came back looking brand new. would recommend hamden auto body in a heartbeat! very satisfied. read more

They did fantastic work and the customer service is way above and beyond what I expected. I got regular updates through email about the status of my car. They completely handled the insurance/rental issues and followed up about a problem I had with the rental company for me. They even detailed my car before they gave it back to me. And there is a warranty on all of their work for the duration of the vehicle's life. I highly recommend them!! read more

just picked up our car from Hamden auto body looks ok but it took them 2+ weeks to do a 3 day job an 1100.00 job turned into a 3500.00 job they blamed the insurance company but if they didn't try to rip them off with false repairs it would have taken so long they also said the car was done last week but when I showed up to get the car all of a sudden the car wasn't done what a bunch of lairs they are wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

Nicole and Oren were very professional and a pleasure to work with. All the work was done on time, at the quoted price, extremely carefully and the auto looks like it just came from the showroom. I am extremely pleased. read more

We had excellent service. The whole team seemed knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient!

The body work was good, but they fried an expensive computer module in the process and refused to take responsibility for it and ran me out of the parking lot - now I am out almost $1000 due to their mistake. I would think twice going to Hamden Auto Body based on my traumatic experience. read more

Very well run, very good, continual communication with the customer, coordinated my rental car very smoothly. Excellent.
