This has to be the worst and most crooked body shop I have ever went to in my 40 years alive. They try and hammer your insurance company. They are a huge rip off. Scan artist. They give you an estimate and then they try to tell you it's going to cost more and that you should go Through insurance. They over estimate your car first, then they try and hammer away afterwards. When you say no, they steal a fee of 250 from you to get your keys then they pull your car up and leave ur bumper and parts on the street dispatched. It was a complete nightmare of an experience. I have no idea how they are in business. I wish I could rate this a 0 not a 1 star. read more

I've been going to Barry's for well over a decade now and every experience has been a good one, whether a head scratching accident or a shoulder to boohoo on about just being parked an getting smashed. He has always delivered a quality repair and service an restored my vehicle to its original look. I recommend him to everyone. Auto body can sometimes be a scummy and horrible experience but Barry makes the experience easier. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! If I could give them 0 stars I would. This autobody is a scam. My boyfriend got into a small car accident a couple months ago and tried to resolve this situation without involving our auto insurance. We were told by the owners sister that this was totally doable and that the damage done to the other drivers car was miniminal. We were charged $900 and were told to pay in cash. We did not receive a receipt, as they gave us a "discount" for paying cash. When we went back we were told the damage was more serious than expected and that insurance would have to get involved. They refused to give us our money back and basically screwed us over. They should be investigated as they try and do things under the books and aren't transparent. read more

Horrible ; horrible they are totally a corrupt business; damage on my car was estimated from other auto body; then insurance made a tentative estimate of 1100 dollars; to say the least these crooks charge $11,000 dollars for a minor repair!!!! The estimate compared to my receipt had totally different thing!!! When i asked about the discrepancy i was told the adjuster from insurance company know they charge $95 an hour wrist up things needed to be added to estimate!!!! They are a bunch of crooks this company is indeed the reasons our rates are so high for automobile insurance!!! To top it off they charge for garbage to be thrown out and they left old parts in my trunk!!!! Stay far away from these crooks!!!! Hope the better business bureau does a thorough investigation of this company they commit fraud when charging these insurance companies and the adjusters are getting paid off from this place!!! TOTALLY FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY !!!!!!! read more

If I could give negative stars I would...STAY AWAY!!! I started this whole thing with a dented bumper that I had Allstate quote at $1200 with 7 hrs of labor and $600 in parts. I went to Barry's with the Allstate quote and asked them to fix my bumper. Three days later I received a supplemental estimate in the mail that Barry's/Allstate agreed on. It included over $2000 in parts (that weren't originally damaged) and 114 hrs of labor (totaling over $5000)...that's right 114 hrs of labor, for a dented bumper!!!! I promptly requested, in person, that they stop work on my car immediately. I called Allstate and expressed my concerns about insurance fraud. After a week of phone calls and emails they said the only thing they could do was a re-inspection after I received the car back. While, this is going on the Allstate guy is sending me pictures from the adjuster showing my car totally dismantled with damage that wasn't there when I dropped it off. At this point I called Barry's to get my car back and bring it to another repair shop. They proceeded to explain to me that the person I told to "stop work on my car," didn't have the authorization to do so. The following day I received a second supplement to the original estimate, totaling over $900, bringing the grand total to approximately $2500 in parts and $6500 in labor (now totally 130 hrs of labor for a dented bumper). I can't help but feel as though I was taken advantage of and defrauded. Unless you're benefitting from their scams...stay away!!! I'll include a picture of the original damage to show you what a $9000 repair looks like at Barry's. Good luck! read more

I am highly disappointed I did not read the reviews for this place before coming here. Negative stars is more what this place deserves. The staff is extremely rude and incompetent. I had 3 small scratches I had wanted to get fixed.. and was quoted $150 to fix it plus $75 to mix the paint.. when going back to the shop to pick up my car(which they never call to tell u it's ready even after I asked if they could call me) it was clearly visible what an awful job they did. I spoke with to whom is the "co-owner" (Michelle) she came out to see what I was unhappy about but when I went to show her one of the other still viable scratches she just walked away from me and went inside.. she then persisted that if " I wanted it done right and painted without seeing scratches I would have to pay $900!" Ridiculous!! My car looks like someone took all of 10 minutes to put white out on my car, the edges still rough and blotchy no sanding of the area, nothing. She refused to meet any type of customer satisfaction and was the nastiest person I have ever meet.. the best part was as I am leaving to pay she had the nerve to scream to the other secretary " you know what she can't afford it just give her the keys" THATS HOW THEY TREAT CUSTOMERS!! read more

See all

I brought my car there for an estimate they had me sign this piece of paper with all this legal stuff on it. Did not explain anything. It says on that paper that a written estimate should be attached but there was nothing. When they first looked at it they said it should cost around 1500 to fix. After talking to the adjuster the price jumped to 4400. When I said I wanted to pick up the car they told me they started to work on it all ready meanwhile the car was only there 2 days one of them being Sunday. I had to give these people 1800 to pick up my car unfinished. I also had to wait a week just to get that price because Barry Jr. had to go on vacation. Why not when he is getting moneyvfrom me for half a job I did not want him to do in the first place..He took advantage of a 70 year old man. Hope he chokes on the money. I later found out that Barry Sr, Barry Jr. and his sister Michele were all arrested in 2010 for insurance fraud. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO BARRYS. IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD ALL BE LOCKED UP. Wow what they called me and said if I don't take this review down they're going to take me to court for defamation of character First of all in order to take some one to court for defamation of character you have to say things that are not true . Every thing I wrote is fact. Not only does Barry want to take my money he wants to take my freedom of speech away. I don't think so. If he did the right thing he wouldn't have to worry about bad reviews. Mine is not the only bad review he has. I guess the truth hurts. read more

I just picked up my car today and I'm so happy to have it back. It looks like it did when I first bought it a few years ago, thats a great feeling after dealing with an accident. Everyone at Barry's is professional and friendly. My family has been using them for years and that tradition will continue. Thanks again everyone :) read more

I've been using Barry's for all of my auto body repair needs. They are quick, professional and my car is always clean upon pickup. They do excellent work and the staff has always been helpful. I've always dealt with either Michele or Jayne and I found both to be courteous and accommodating. Will definitely recommend! read more

TERRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!!!!! One of the so called partners because she made it clear she's not the SECRETARY was the nastiest person I've ever came across, she was rude & even stated "she doesn't trust me with making a payment, mind you a credit card was being used but cash was also an option on my end, then the owner BARRY was standing by listening & as soon as I said I'm leaving because I don't need to deal with this he says "well get out of my store before I call the cops!!! REALLY? all because your PARTNER does not know how to speak to people & have a civil conversation?! How do you run a business with such poor customer service!! Btw also went on BBB! You get 0 stars from this customer that 1 star was because I had to in order to write this! DISGUSTING PPL read more

Terrible service, terrible staff, terrible experience. If you enjoy being ripped off go here, I would have been better off going to the Honda dealer to get bodywork done! read more

Place is a great place very friendly and handled everything fast and perfect just wanna thank everyone for a stress and headache free experience read more

The shop made it a Very easy and smooth process bringing my car to get fixed after having an accident. The owner and his staff were helpful and accommodating to all of my needs in order to make the situation less stressful for me. I have been to other auto body shops and have never had such a wonderful stress free experience. I would highly recommend this business for all of your auto needs. read more

had some work done on my truck. did a fair job on the repair, but like so many other reviews state, they banged out my insurance something fierce. $10k for a 2 foot dent on a side panel. Not sure why they are listed as M and A mechanical, shady. read more

I got my car repaired here about ten years ago. They took over a month to fix it. They stored parts in it on the back seat causing dents in the leather. There were also many imperfections including several paint chips. They duck taped the bumper. Terrible! I didn't find this out until almost a year later. I should have filed a complaint with the city and possibly taken them to court. I had to pay $2000 to another body shop to fix their mess. I would not recommend this body shop at all nor will I ever give them additional business. read more

Nasty, snobs who talk to customers like garbage and forget to call when the cars done. They are the exact reason I refuse to enter businesses with that chamber of commerce sticker on the window. And all I had was a window replaced. First they tell me a couple hours. My car was there for 3 days. Still hear glass in the door a year later and it leaks. I would bring it back but I never want to speak that arrogant office staff again. read more

First time ever posting a review but had to do it to save at least one person. Extremely unhelpful people from manager Barry down to office staff. Inconsiderate to your time and unable to resolve conflict when arises. More worried about getting paid for what they did already then completing the job and making customer happy. 1 star because I had to. read more

Not too long ago, I brought my car to Barry's because the car's paint had peeled in many areas but not all plus there was a minor "2 inch diameter bubbling of paint" at center tip of hood. Barry's rep went over everything - told me they would repair small 'bubbling spot on hood (sand out etc.) plus do thorough repaint job on entire hood, roof, and around door/window edges (inclusive of stripping down/priming/painting uses prime match to manufacturer's paint). When I picked up the car on a cursory glance, it looked good; however, when I got it home, I noticed that the bubble spot on the hood was still there! The paint was dripping down inside the car around door/window edge. On top of all this, when I went to get an oil change, the mechanic found rolls of masking tape, a glove and other things inside my engine!!! So, not only did Barry's not do the work that they told me they would do, they did a sloppy job. IF you go here, get everything little detail in writing because I just trusted the rep from what she said and how she noted everything on the order. I recall asking her why certain things weren't specifically stated and she said that it was 'understood/included in what was there." I knew that I'd get no where in fighting this since I trusted them to do what they said and to do a good job. Learned my lesson - research first, and get every detail in writing signed by authorized service rep before you agree to anything. This job was not cheap so I wasted my money. read more
