Best Bodyshop on Long Island

My wife got hit in our new (6 month old) 2006 TL the other day. The right rear fender and both doors are dented and scratched.

Any suggestions on the best body shop on Long Island to do the work would be much appreciated.

I had my previous car fixed at New Hyde Park auto.

Don't know how far out on the Island your are. We are next to the Queens border, so this may not be convenient. They did an excellent job though they were not cheap.

I got my car fixed with a RJ kit installed at V&J Auto Body in West Babylon. They did a great job and plus matched the paint perfectly. They are located on Wellwood Ave.

my friend smacked his fathers 92 Testarossa into a curb.... they brought it to Jefferson Auto.... when he sold the ferrari, not even the buyer could tell it was crashed

my other friends family crashed 4 cars.... SC430, SL500, XK8 & 350Z.. all of them with major, major damage.... two of them, the accidents werent reported and the dealer didnt even know about the damage when the lease was returned

all the rich people i know who smack up their cars on the north shore of long island, ONLY goto Jefferson...

now, I went to a so-so body shop....and if you look close enough, the damage is noticeable..


but, if the car is a lease... who cares... if you own it... make the right choice.

Harbour Collision in St. James. Smithtown Acura referred me there after the entire front of my 04 TSX was destroyed by vandals, just for the lights. They brought the car back to life, perfectly.

Elrich Autobody in Aquebogue (near Riverhead) specializes in imports. Storms Porsche & Audi of Southampton refers all clients there, and Apple Honda in riverhead does the same. when i drive past there, i see countless Hondas and Acuras, among the Porsches and Audis. They are expensive, but i've seen their work, and it's excellent.
