Unhappy Type S got raped by parking attendants in nyc.. know any good body shops in philly?

My Type S got raped by parking attendants in NYC. Members please be warned not to park at EZ park located at 125 Baxter Street in NYC. They left me a big dent on the driver’s side fender in the front wheel right above the tire. I contacted a paintless dent remover guy to see if he can bang it out, but he wouldn’t try to fix it cause of the curvature in the area. Of course the park lot said they didn’t do it. Plus I drove the car out before I find out. Looks like it is going to be a big repair after all.. Just venting…
Anyone know any good body shop in New Brunswick, NJ or Philly that they use?

Hope to see everyone in the PAA meet.

That sucks...I'd try to argue a bit more with the parking lot too. They're going to fight back though since you left before you saw it. Still worth the shot in my opinion.

Not sure how far north you come into NY... but there's a great bodyshop in Tarrytown called Unique Body. The guy's name is David Weiss and his # is 631-6463. Tell him Denis (the guy with the spoiler and engine pieces) sent you.....

You MUST fight back with the parking lot, no matter what... all you have to do is file in small claims court, they will want to settle with you. Be firm, dont let those fawkers get away with it.

But I don’t have any proof that they did it, only my word against theirs. If I file a claim, do I have to file it in NYC or where my car is register? Does anyone know any web links that shows you how to file a small court claim? Thanks for all the helpful info!

I've used Stan from Stan's auto body in carlstadt, NJ. He is great, really takes pride in his work and does an excellent job. He is about 5 minutes away from the Meadowlands. Give him a call. His number is (201) 939-5930. Tell him Donny with the black wrangler sent you. He revived my '87 Jeep wrangler after some uninsured girl with alcohol in the car destroyed it. He pulled the frame and did a great job on it. I really recommend him. Good luck.

Donny

You can email me at Hatzq68@aol.com with any questions.

Or you can wait for PAA and see if the dent guy shows up again like he did last year. He was working on some of the members' rides last year during the meet. And I believed the price was reasonable.

Holy sh*t! I parked outside of that parking lot a couple of weeks ago. While waiting for my girlfriend to come, I saw the attendants parking cars in and out. I have to say that I feel so sorry for those cars that were parked there. They pull in and out from the lot very carelessly. Some of them were doing minor peel outs. I was totally disgusted by the assh*les! Hope you can get it fix soon.

I don't know if I would have been able to control my anger! Sorry to hear about that.
