Obviously, no one is thrilled after being involved in accidents but Providence auto body has helped me navigate the process twice now--stress free and professionally. It did take a while for me to get a rental and have the damages repaired due to difficulty contacting the other party's insurance, getting repair quotes, etc but luckily my car had very minor damages and was still drivable. I just had to be patient. After about a month I received my car back looking brand new. Not only did they repair the damages but also took the time to detail the inside and wash the outside. The staff is nice and it is easy to get a hold of them on the phone. read more

They are so efficient and all gets done easily with a minimum of paperwork and difficulty. My car was totaled and they took care of everything which is so wonderful because like most people (probably) I had no idea where to turn first. I can't imagine going anywhere else for this service. I've had cars repaired there also and they come back looking like brand new vehicles. It is truly a one stop experience. read more

I heard the ads for Providence auto body and thought they can't be any better than anyone else but I was WRONG! The ladies in the office are amazing , friendly and so helpful. They made the whole process so easy and I knew I picked the right place. From the time I dropped off the truck until I picked it up we were kept informed of the progress and the loaner was beautiful and exceptionally clean. When the truck was done it looked showroom ready, cleaner than it was when I dropped it off and truck was detailed and shiny looked better than brand new. They even filled the gas tank. What a pleasant experience. I would never bring my vehicles anywhere else. Thanks Providence auto body you really are the best . read more

I recently was in a rear end accident and referred by my friend Stefano to Providence Auto Body. They immediately set me up with a rental. My car took awhile to be repaired due to waiting on insurance company to assess damage and obtaining parts but they did an amazing job. Nikki helped me through the process but all of the staff is friendly and helpful. The whole process was stress free and seamless. I received my car back looking brand new. They did a remarkable job repairing, and even detailed it. I will be using and recommending them in the future. Overall a great company to do business with. read more

Wouldn't even get 1 star if possible. Quite possibly the worst experience with a business that i have ever encountered. Less than a day into the process they were shoving arbitration paperwork down my throat stating their "dislike" and "inability" to work with/for my ins. carrier. Next I'm being contacted by their in-house family attorney. Two weeks of stressful and frustrating back and forth and their refusal to work with my appraiser and ultimately my car was never worked on. Had to have the car moved to another shop to start from scratch. Can't speak to their quality of work, but their lack of professionalism, lack of courtesy, and unwillingness to work with their customer makes this a place I will never again consider should I need autobody repairs in the future! read more

I had the misfortune of choosing Providence Auto Body for damage to my car. The woman that I delt with was pleasant and nice. I got a text message from the adjuster saying that they set my claim and that my car would be done in about two weeks. Today I get a call from PAB to come and get my car. Now I'm confused. I go there and try to see what's going on. Of course Nikki , the woman handling my case is out for the day. A man came and asked me what he could do for me. I told him who I was. I tried to explain to him that my insurance adjuster said my car would be fixed. They refused to even look at the text message. They said either take your car now or we will total it right now. I tried multiple times to get him and the two other men he called out to. MULTIPLE times they threaten me , telling one another, " Go total the car " . All i wanted was an explanation. All i got was aggravation. I had to keep telling the " Do Not Total My Car " . Finally I got my car back. Called my insurance company immediately and told them what happened. Now , my adjuster said the damage was a little over $2500 . Today when I spoke to him , he was just getting ready to cut the check for them. I told him what happened and he said he was canceling their check and sending out one for me for $2100. Vit of a difference in the amounts. Makes me go hmmm. read more

I am very happy with the service. The staff is friendly and professional..... got back my car clean and fixed like a brand new.

Providence Auto Body is top notch! I picked up my car today after several weeks of repair and I experienced the 'WOW Factor'! My suv is back to pristine condition, and..... they detailed my car, and filled my gas tank! Hands down, they gave me the best experience out of a stressful time for me! Nikki arranged their own rental for me and did not charge for the 30 day overage than what my insurance covered. I had a comparable rental vs getting a lime green Kia Soul through insurance. And...... they have Tootsie Rolls in the waiting area! A win-win in every corner with my experience! Don't go anywhere else!! read more

Providence Auto Body is the best body shop around. If you want your vehicle to look like brand new. Like the action, it never happened. Take it to Providence Auto Body. I've been there several times, and never been disappointed. Never. read more

I have never, ever had an easier or more friendly experience with any type of automobile business, period. They are insanely on top of things, do all the work for you in terms of communicating with the insurance company, and always treat you like a special guest. I can't find one thing to complain about! read more

WORST Place Ever, they had my vehicle for 3 months and collected insurance money and didn't fix nearly what they charged!!

Again exceptional work done by these guys. Couldn't ask for a better place to work on my car when needed. Thank you again Nick and everyone else who helped me. Sincerely, Patricia Achille read more

If I could give this auto body shop zero stars I would, they were very fair warned that I had an Intoxalock device in my car and they never said a word about not being able to fix it, they had almost a months notice about it. Fast forward to today where I drop my car off for the repair and already gave me a rental, I have the rental for maybe 30 mins tops and they tell me to turn around and bring the rental back immediately since they won't fix it with that in my car. Lady up front wasn't so friendly either, I had an appointment I needed to be at and then gave me attitude when I asked for my keys back. I thought I'd try it despite the reviews but not worth bringing your car read more

Pulled in while staff was getting food from the coffee truck The shop manager saw my truck from 60 ft away when I went in with my paperwork he told me my truck was totaled The insurance company told me $2,600 to fix it it needs a hood a grill and a bumper absolutely no structural damage with and beyond the radiator support this guy just didn't want to be bothered with a 2013 absolutely disgusted he told me my door Crete and my door seems were off The door Creek before the accident the door seems a perfect per two other body shops stay away the guy's a thief read more

The staff and service at this place was excellent. They really worked with me, and did so in a safe environment. I recommend Providence Auto Body, they really do cater to the customers. read more

John is the best - he's generous and prompt. His office takes care of all the insurance paperwork. I've taken 2 personal vehicles and 1 company vehicle to his shop. The work they do is professional and precise. The machines they use are amazing. Their color matching is superb. The office staff is not the most cordial but they get the job done. Times when I've been overwhelmed with the process - he reassures and fixes. I recommended Providence Auto Body. read more

Just asked for an appraisal of a 6 inch scratch near my wheel. Acted like I didn't know anything about cars and the guy told me it was $800-1000 because he needed to take the door off to fix the scratch plus the window. Absolutely would have been over charged. Went to another place on Fed hill, $500 for everything. Plus I told him about what the guy at this place said and he laughed. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

Been here to have work done on 2 vehicles. Both times it was such a smooth transaction. Went straight to their shop from the scene of the accident and got right into a rental car without having to wait more than a half hour. Work was done right and the vehicles came back looking better than before. They even fixed damage that I did t ask them to fix and painted my running boards without having to ask them! On top of it all they paid my deductible! Top notch service and workmanship. I recommend this place to everybody I know. read more

My car was hit over the summer. We all know that supply chain issues are affecting just about every industry. Despite having a delay receiving parts, they worked diligently to get my car back as quickly as possible. It looks better than new! They are kind and professional! Highly recommend. Best in RI by far! read more

My daughter was just in a car accident. She took her car here ( minor damage ). They said they needed proof she was on policy. I emailed it over in minutes (the policy). They sent her away. I didn't understand. I took car to my body shop and they told me, "This is not the first time they heard this. If they can't make a killing they send people away." Now I know that is hearsay but it sure seems to be in line with what happened. read more

Went to Providence auto body for the first time to fix my 2016 Subaru Wrx STi limited after an accident. I have to say they did a phenomenal job on repairing my car back to factory specked, once I seen my car all done and all clean I fell in love with my car again. I highly recommend anyone to go to this autobody you will not be let down on how well they repair your car. The staff and owners of the Providence Auto Body took care of me and all the paperwork had to be done so that they can start on repairing my car. If any of my other cars as in my parents car or my brothers car needs to get repaired or work done Providence Auto Body would always be my first and only place to go. read more

See all

I am very happy, I trusted providence auto body to repair my vehicle. They've done an excellent job. Looks like new. Thanks. read more

Providence Auto Body - Great work. Washed inside and out, and full tank of gas. It's all about details. Thank you - Body Shops Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

The auto body shop is not a place you want to frequent but hey accidents happen. My family has been going here since I was a kid. They have reconstructed my brothers nearly totaled mustang twice. ( deer ) ( snow ). They fixed up two of my minor dings. The last one was a doozy. I'm not sure how I did it but but my accident left my car a mess. After the shock wore off I called the shop. They said no problem we will come get you with the tow truck. It's quicker then aaa. All I had to do was answer a few questions and they took it from there. So easy and stress free. When I got my car back it was brand new ! Not only did the body work look amazing , they even cleaned my messy inside. My car was sparkling inside and out. If you find yourself needing a body shop this is the place. I highly recommend it. read more

Providence Auto Body is a 5 Star Autobody. I am so happy with my car and how everything turned out for me. I want to thank the wonderful people of Providence Auto Body, the Petrarca Family, and General Manager Nick. Everyone here treats you like you are family and go the extra distance to insure you are happy! I will always bring my car to Providence Auto Body because of their excellent work, and the feeling that you can relax, and trust these people to make your car better than it was before. read more

This place is a joke. I call ask for information and they tell me to come over. They then tell me they are not taking new customers AFTER making me drive down. My company actually uses this company for their fleet of trucks. Not anymore. read more

5 stars is not enough for this place. Unfortunately my car has been to Providence Auto Body 3 times, but luckily all for accidents that were not my fault. PVD Auto took care of dealing with the insurance appraiser and made sure that only 100% original factory parts were used. They took care of every detail making sure the car looked even better than new when it I picked it up. I can't say enough nice things about the staff and the quality of work. A++ for the whole place! read more

I never write reviews, but this is my third time taking a vehicle to PAB. They are the best. All you do is walk in, give them your information and they take care of the rest. Between handling the insurance to getting you a rental car, I walked in and was out in my rental car in less than an hour. When your car is finished it will look worlds better than when you first got into an accident. In my latest dealing with Providence Auto Body, someone hit my car when it was parked, Progressive (their person who hit my car's insurance company) deemed my car a total loss. Well when you sign the check for the money, they only give you three days with the rental car. From the time I brought my car in, till the time I had to give the rental back it was about 7 days, not nearly enough time to research a car to buy, find the exact one you want, get financing, sign the papers, and get the car. PAB gave me a loaner car for a week after I had to turn my rental in. They didn't have to do this at all! They will go above and beyond for their customers and the work is second to none. I recommend PAB to anyone. read more

Stay away. Shady shady business practices. Cashed the insurance company check without repairing my car and when I asked about it they were incredibly rude. Some lady hung up on me. read more

This place is amazing. My daughter was involved in an accident this winter. PAB handled everything including lending us a car. The car was deemed a total loss but they once again handed everything for us. Thank you all!! read more

Just an update for PAB. I started having problems with my top making weird noises. I called and they said not a problem bring it in now if you have the time. Of course me being worried, i brought it out there and by the time i knew it I had 3 service guys outside my car putting the top down and back up. They eventually found the problem. (It was some metal piece hitting the roof used for opening and closing. They put some felt tape around it and it was as good as new not making any noise). They even called me a few times through out the weeks and kept checking in and making sure the noise was gone. AWESOME PLACE. They guys treat you like your family. read more

This place is unbelievable! I honesty don't know how they even have customers ! Must be just people they know that keep them afloat . I went in for an estimate and the blond with the fake boobs (must have been the owner) was sooooo rude. So condescending to everyone she spoke to while I sat there with no regard. Once I left I even heard her screaming at the top of her lungs like a crazy woman. Not to mention they were super expensive .... I literally went in for a bumper (I was rear ended) I kid you not they told Me it was going to be 6,000 Keep In mind I have a 2008 Honda Accord . Only advice stay away ! All these 5 star reviews are people they know ! Don't believe me ? Just go in on a Monday - You'll see for your self . read more

I dropped of my car 2 months ago for a minor repair. They clam they will handle everything start to finish Which means you drop off your car while they call the insurance company to come out look at your car then wait for the insurance company to give the the go a head to start repairs . Then they order the parts and wait for them to come in. I am guessing this all takes about 3 weeks. WHICH would be fine if A) they provided an equal car to what you are having fixed. I dropped off a C300 and was given keys to some piece of shit Ford with leather. Option B) could have been letting me drive my car while I they waited for paperwork to get started minimizing my time in THIER RENTAL but NO this was not done either Now after me calling on 6/11/2018 and being told I would have my car in 10 working days. I am on working day 11 with no end in site to the forced incarceration of my car Also to note NOT ONCE HAS ANYONE CALLED WITH A STATUS ON MY CAR Watch out for the rental car scam with this company. They will keep you in thier rental car forever I am guessing to jack up thier bill read more

I called and was helped the same day within hours and very satisfied with my repair and the customer service. Nick helped make this a great experience with Providence Auto Body. It was only my first time with the shop but I will certainly be coming back. read more

Nicole is so helpful. Always willing to help and quickly expedited my claim. I will definitely come back if I need future repairs. Thanks again. Very satisfied customer. read more

Simply the best of the best! I can't say enough about this place! Right from the start.. I called on a Saturday evening to have them tow my 2017 AWD GMC. The flat bed was there in 1/2 hour! Went in Monday morning to complete the paper work and Sandy and Nikki were wonderful. Then, after my insurance company stopped paying for my rental, they offered to pay for the remaining days till my car was fixed!! That was so nice, I couldn't believe it! Of course, the best part was getting my SUV back looking and smelling beautiful with a full tank of gas! Plus the guys helped me load all of my stuff back into my car from the rental. A big thank you to everyone at Providence Auto Body! read more

Did a great job repairing my car after I was rear ended, but everyday I was told I could pick it up, they would tell me sorry maybe tomorrow it will be done (3 times) till I told them I was getting annoyed and needed to return my rented and wouldn't have a car! Then when I got my car back it was missing items that were in there when I left it! Go figure it just so happens one of my items was in the building but miraculously took 20 minutes to locate! I think someone took it thinking I wouldn't notice and they had to bring it back. The one woman I the office was a bit of a sarcastic snob, I was ready to give her a piece of my mind. The other women were ok but were rude on the phone and hung up many times before I could even get another word in. So yes they do great work, takes time, if u can deal with rude customer service you'll be ok! read more

When I picked up my car and looked at the job they had done, it had looked like a brand new car. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

My 2001 Jeep GC was rear-ended in a snowstorm and the damage was enough to consider it a total because of its age. It is such a great running truck in excellent condition that I asked Nick at Prov Auto Body to repair it, not total it. PAB did a fantastic job - I don't know how they managed to do it with the small insurance company settlement, but they did - I am very grateful to them for the prompt and courteous service, great loaner, and excellent repair. I don't think I would trust any other body shop to work on my vehicles, including repainting/restoring my vintage '73 Jag XKE V-12 some years back. When I sold that car I made 4x what I originally paid for it, and it was in exceptional condition, thanks to Nick and Prov Auto Body. Note: The jag was not an insurance claim, I paid for it out of pocket, and I took it to PAB because they are the best in the state. read more

Was rear ended 2 months ago and was pushed forward ending in a 3 car collision, my vehicle was in the middle and had the most damaged (front and back, 4 quarter sides and under. It was very stressful and nerve wracking! I got back my vehicle today! After a long wait to be finished ( long wait for some parts for the vehicle) Providence Auto Body did a superb job!! My vehicle looks brand new! Staff were very courteous and friendly I highly recommend Providence Auto Body! review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

A couple of months ago I was rear ended in a minor accident, I stayed and the person behind be started to go. Nobody was injured and the damage to both cars was minimal but I had to have my bumper replaced. I know a couple of people who had used Providence Auto Body in the past, so I headed down there. I have to say, their face to face customer service isn't the best. I went from a waiting area, to a desk to fill out paper work, back to the waiting area before I finally I received a rental car and headed out. My car came back a few weeks later in perfect condition and freshly detailed. They told me that all the work is guaranteed for the life of the car and I headed off on my full tank of gas. Fast forward 5 days and I was involved in another minor rear end collision. Needless to say I was annoyed because I had just been through this, but I called Providence Auto Body and they had me in about a week later and off with another rental car. I just got my car back (again) and it the work looks great again. They matched the paint color perfectly and you can't tell anything is different by looking at it. Earlier I had said that their customer service isn't great, and it isn't. But, they did take care of dealing with the insurance adjusters both times and there is also something to be said about the convenience of getting and dropping off your rental car right on site. Also, my experience with them the second time around was much easier. They already had everything on file from my previous visit so I saved a little bit of time there. Plan on being there for 20-30 minutes when you're dropping off or picking up your car. Also, the first time in they had my car for about a month, this time was just short of 3 weeks, so expect to have to wait and make arrangements to get a car. It was all worth it in the end and now my car looks great again! Nothing personal, but I hope I don't have to go back for a while! read more
