body shop in nyc?

byebyemyti · 12-08-2014, 10:05 AM

hi all,
so I buy my 128 off the lease and literally the next day someone sideswipes my car. I was stopped so totally not my fault. There are dents/scratches around the body of the back and front wheel and mirror was smashed. Geico suggested some shops in the city but I am looking for thoughts on where to take my baby. From what I read, the dealer (bmw of manhattan) might not be the best choice since they don't do the work there anyway.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

You'll find better shops in Westchester, NJ or Long Island. But if you don't have time to search (and insurance is covering), you can look up BMW Certified Collision Centers here.

But if you're willing to go out to NJ, my 2 recommended shops are C&D Auto Body in South Hackensack and Coleman Auto Body in the Princeton area. I've never been to this one but I heard Overseas Auto Body in Hastings on Hudson is pretty good too. GLWS!

The Polishing pad on staten island is great. They just fixed my car and it looks brand new!

Insurance is paying. Take it to MAC.

Only take it to MAC if you want to get dropped from your insurance
