  • Mar 25, 2012 by by TM1971 at Citysearch

    I talked to them on the phone and made arrangements to bring my car to them. Dropped it off the next day and they said they would send pictures via email of the work each day and would handle everything needed with the insurance company. They did exactly as they said they would do. Each afternoon I got 2-3 pictures showing the progress of the work. After I dropped the car off with Auto Car East, I literally didn't have a single conversation with the insurance company - Auto Care East took care of everything. They said it would take 6 days and sure enough, it took exactly six days. Most importantly, the work they did looks great - can't even tell I had bodywork done. The guys I spoke with on the phone where very nice, but to be honest, the process was so easy, the only time I spoke with anybody was to make an appointment to bring it in and when they called to say the car was ready. These guys run a great operation. These guys are efficient and the take care of all the legwork with the insurance company. I highly recommend them.

    I brought my MB E Class Sedan after a weekend in the Berkshires and these guys treated it with the utmost care. Quick and fair, they did a great job!

  • Jan 06, 2012 by by theodoraattny4laws at Citysearch

    The reliability of the repairs is amazing. I have been to many shops in the past, but this one is the best one so far. I don't have to worry about added repairs that will end up costing me way more. Thank you so much!

    Great customer service. Comprehensive and professional and will be recommending your services to others.

  • Nov 16, 2011 by by easypesy43 at Citysearch

    I got rear ended while I was sitting at a light and hit the car in front of me. I had work done at Auto Care before so I knew this is where I should go. They have yet to let me down. Thanks again, guys!

  • Nov 09, 2011 by by messy4ever33 at Citysearch

    When someone hit my car in the mall parking lot, a friend recommended that I take it to Auto Care East. I was a little nervous but when I got my car back, it looked brand new! Now I tell everyone who asks me where to get body work that this is the only place to go.

  • Nov 08, 2011 by by janessarice at Citysearch

    I got a minor dent repaired at Auto Care East and I have to say that they did a great job. It looks like it never even existed. Thank You.

  • Nov 07, 2011 by by kelleyinnewyork at Citysearch

    If you liked the way you were treated in the old days in terms of kindness and respect, you will really like the people at Auto care East! Their work is at the very finest. Your cars ready when promised and the workmanship is beyond compare. I wish more places would be like Auto Care.

  • Nov 02, 2011 by by friendlyfoe15 at Citysearch

    Auto Care East just replaced my brakes, which was long overdue, but they did a great job in a quick amount of time. Thanks!

  • Nov 01, 2011 by by fastfreddy5445 at Citysearch

    I have been going to Auto Care East for over 10 years and the quality of service has never dropped. Friendly staff and quick service.

  • Oct 18, 2011 by by henrynoon94 at Citysearch

    They are friendly, fast and thorough. Best compliment I could give Auto Care East is a good recommendation to my friends. They have lovely facilities. I'll definitely return. Thanks!

  • Oct 10, 2011 by by lankyfranky55 at Citysearch

    We take all of our cars here to get worked on. It's a nice environment and the people are very nice, clean and professional.

  • Oct 06, 2011 by by nynyjimbo at Citysearch

    Auto Care has performed some state inspections for me. I was always happy with the service. When my car needed some service I decided to use them instead of my lexus dealer. I was very happy and I was happy to not have to go to the lexus dealer! I’ll continue using Auto Care instead of the dealer for all my inspections and repairs!

  • Oct 05, 2011 by by curtis3amp at Citysearch

    My insurance company sent me to Auto Core after an accident. I was so happy with the work and service that I have since been back several times for regular maintenance. I have always been happy with the work and service.

  • Oct 03, 2011 by by mikeatt at Citysearch

    I park my car in one of the Auto Care garages. I needed service so I brought my car to them. I was very happy. They are very honest and I really like the work that they did.

  • Sep 29, 2011 by by the02dancercharles at Citysearch

    I had a great experience with Auto Care East. the staff is nice, they had a nice clean place and they charge less than the repair shop I've been taking my car to. Seem to be a great business so far and look forward to returning in the future.

  • Sep 15, 2011 by by luvnyyankees18 at Citysearch

    Excellent service! thank you very much for taking the time to drive me around trying to hear the "obo" sound that never happened. Just so you know, it happened this morning, twice. I'll be back soon for the additional work needed.

  • Sep 07, 2011 by by lcage29 at Citysearch

    Excellent; Auto Care East has been serving my vehicle for years. I've never had a complaint. If there is a return problem, many times they correct at their own expense. I highly recommend their facilities, whether it's just a minor or major problem.

  • Sep 06, 2011 by by ballerinacari at Citysearch

    We, and our Ford 150, received the usual care & service we have enjoyed with each and every trip with our cars to Auto Care East. They are responsible and proficient in caring for our cars at Auto Care East. Many thanks to all of you from all of us!

    I had been taking my BMW to the dealer for service. I mentioned to a friend that I was tired of all the poor service and high prices at the BMW dealer. My friend recommended I try Auto Care East, so I took my car in and was very happy with the service I received. They ave me a written estimate. They used BMW parts but the bill was less than the dealership would have charged. Happy with that

  • Aug 09, 2011 by by janeisland51 at Citysearch

    I can't say enough good things about the staff of Auto Care. They have gone out of their way to help me on many occasions. They are trustworthy and reliable. Great service too.

Allstate sent me to Auto Care East, In which they had my car towed, Emailed me all the insurance paperwork as well as they were able to do the estimate the very next day. They took care of everything as well as had my car looking brand new again in no time. Thanks again Auto Care East you guy's ROCK !!!!

    I brought in my dog, Coco, to check out her paws and the staff here was wonderful. They were friendly and nice. The staff we interacted with seemed to genuinely care about Coco and that was very reassuring to me that she would be taken care of.

  • Jun 24, 2011 by by wcory66 at Citysearch

    I was very pleased with Auto Care. I received a written estimate and written guaranty. I was very happy with the work done on the car. I was worried that the silver color would not match, but the car looks great! Thank you so much!!!

  • May 31, 2011 by by Harris Jayle at Citysearch

    Auto Care was great. I had a very bad experience at another shop when my car was damaged previously. So I was very nervous when I had another accident. I am so glad to say that Auto Care East took care of my car. They were professional , honest, and very nice. They explained everything to me, (I don't know much about cars) and made me feel very comfortable. The work was done when promised and the car looks great.

  • May 26, 2011 by by johnoates41 at Citysearch

    Love the new update system!! I was sent or text (my choice) During the repairs. I was never left in the dark I love Auto Care East.

  • May 25, 2011 by by phillipmaier at Citysearch

    Very professional and reliable service. Auto Care has done body work and maintenance to my car. I have always been happy with the results, and they way I am treated.

  • May 11, 2011 by by lindsaycross at Citysearch

    I was in an accident and my insurance company referred me to Auto Care. It was the best referral I could have gotten. The car was at a tow yard in the Bronx. Auto Care took care of towing the car back to Manhattan, they did an estimate and took care of the insurance company paperwork. The work was great. The car looks new, and they made a stressful situation easier. Thanks Auto Care!!

  • May 10, 2011 by by krissyb000 at Citysearch

    DAVE WAS GREAT! He really knows his way around the shop.

    I can't say enough good things about the people and service at auto care east. I have been bring my cars there for years. They have always treated me great. I don't know a lot about cars but I trust them so much. They really try to take care of their customers. I wouldn't bring my cars anywhere else.

  • May 03, 2011 by by michelletips11 at Citysearch

    Auto Care fixed my car after two accidents. Each time I was happy with the service and the results of the repairs. I would not take my car anywhere else.

  • May 02, 2011 by by ahoopernj at Citysearch

    The dealer gave me an estimate to replace my front brake pads and rotors. Auto Care was able to do the job using factory parts faster and a less cost.

  • Apr 28, 2011 by by sarahcoleman83 at Citysearch

    I love the site. I appreciate the service given and also appreciate the service reminders that they send out. Thanks Auto Care

  • Apr 23, 2011 by by ejslate11 at Citysearch

    I brought my mid sized Suv here after getting into my very first accident (fortunately not my fault :) I had no idea what to expect and how the whole process would even work with insurance, etc... These guys were all so helpful and friendly and took care of everything with the insurance company - I literally did nothing. I just picked my car up and it looks perfect! They even detailed the outside and cleaned the inside (was not expecting that at all)! Thank you Auto Care East for making this whole ordeal very easy to handle!!!

  • Apr 19, 2011 by by shunppio at Citysearch

    I brought my car here twice and both times it was quick and easy! they worked with my insurance and i was extremely happy with the results. dave was the guy i worked with, he was really informative and helpful-i would definately recommend

    Auto Care has been taking care of my Lexus for years. The service and prices are great. Quality is great also.

  • Apr 12, 2011 by by florfalaus07 at Citysearch

    Auto Care handled the collision repairs and insurance claim for damage to my Honda. The work was great. Auto Care made a stressful situation good. They were great to deal with, and the work was great.

  • Apr 11, 2011 by by DMBJ at Citysearch

    I've been dealing with this shop for 2 years now & I feel they are the best body shop in NYC. The price is great. They have your car back to you quickly & they even deliver it to your garage. Thats A+ service to me. Ask for Dave.

  • Apr 07, 2011 by by heschaeffer88 at Citysearch

    We been coming to Auto Care East for many years. They are the only ones I trust to work on my car. They do the best job and are extremely reliable.

  • Apr 01, 2011 by by marvenia fairfax at Citysearch

    Well to start off the staff greeted me with open arms, the gentleman named Dave introduced himself to me to let me know personally that he will be working on my vehicle which it made me feel safe. As we all know how business goes anyone point fingers , but not this place. Dave called every couple of days to let me know the update which i truly appreciated. Dave called me a few days ago to let me know my vehicle was ready for pick up. My Truck is soooo beautiful I almost cried , what a job Dave. THANK YOU DAVE and Way to go AUTO CARE love you Guys

  • Mar 22, 2011 by by teddybearblue at Citysearch

    I have been to Auto Care East a few times over the years and each time my car was repaired in the time frame they said it would be ready. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The last time i had my car worked on they actually saved me money by fixing a problem much more minor than I was guessing it was. I went in thinking and telling the mechanic I was sure I had a cracked head and was going to need to have it replaced. Well it turned out to be a much cheaper fix. I am impressed and will continue to use Auto Care east ...

  • Sep 22, 2010 by by IMPOSSIBLE at Citysearch

    This place has gone to the birds. There was a girl at the front desk who is no longer there that was great, treated everyone with respect & knew her stuff. They have become rude, cold & have no idea what customer service is. They only have a kind word when taking your money. I'm guessing the owner could care less that not one of the employees he has even acknowledges a person waiting to be helped. One guy there barely picks his head up to look at you when he's talking. There is a young kid there that thinks he's got the market cornered on personality if in fact a stone had a personality. All in all a bad recent experience & will never return. I've been going there for years but customer loyalty means nothing to them anymore. I will be taking my cars elsewhere from now on. I suggest that those who read this do the same. They are a scam & charge more than a dealer does with no guarantee, go figure. Move fast to pass this place they are slick and shameless.

  • Jun 21, 2010 by by NewYorker2349 at Citysearch

    After the repairmen at this shop cracked my headlamp after their faulty repair job, they swore at me, threatened me and walked away refusing to work with me. I would NEVER recommend this shop, and my experience has left with me with the worst possible taste in my mouth. simply the WORST WORST WORST repair shop ever. DO NOT RISK ANYTHING BY DEALING WITH THEM!!!!

  • Dec 22, 2009 by by lelio at Citysearch

    The staff is rude and incompetent. They made a major mistake on a simple repair, and refused to take responsibility and tried to make me pay extra to fix the mistake. My car was out of commission for three weeks for something that should have taken two days. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE.

  • May 28, 2009 by by jhan303 at Citysearch

    I've gone there three times. All three repairs done without problems. On my last visit, I asked them to put in a new battery, as well as replace a compressor clutch that was making a funny noise. They called me a half hour later to tell me the battery was installed. And recommended AGAINST replacing the compressor clutch. They said it was in perfect working order and the noise was indicating no problem. That was an unnecessary $260 repair that they could have done, but instead passed up the money. Love 'em!!!

  • Mar 25, 2009 by by Shoulditbeeasy1 at Citysearch

    HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.!!! VERY BAD COLLISION REPAIR FACILITY !!! After a frontal accident I was suggested to bring my four month old 2008 luxury car to Auto Care East, Inc for the repairs. They are very nice folks. After first impression I was left with the idea that the deed will be flawless... Few days later I went to pick up the car..., well now I am left with more damages than the original repair required to fix. They scratched my "GOOD" head light and tried to cover it by using a paint polishing/buffing machine thus creating more scratches. They also scratched my rear rims when they "TRIED" to wash the car, by brushing in between the spokes with a very hard brush. On top of everything they never did the proper repair of removing the damaged front bumper and inspecting the damages behind it also they painted the bumper without removing it from the vehicle and creating over spray onto some plastic panels that require to remain unpainted which will definitely reduce the value of the car now. After addressing the issues, I was told by the agent;"..Sue Me...". Isn't this very very nice. Well I suggest you stay away from the ripoffs of Auto Care East..., they are very nice folks, they know how to talk you into a ripoff...

    My 1987 Jeep Wrangler had a history of not starting when I needed it the most. After calling AAA, to give my Jeep a jump, I was disappointed they could not get it started, but even more disappointed that they sent a non-tow-truck to attempt the jump. I called AAA again to send a tow-truck. Upon my arrival at Auto Care East, I explained the problem. Two mechanics immediately began to diagnose the problem and had the car running in a matter of minutes. The car was still on the street, and running. So quick was the diagnosis and repair the jeep never made it into the garage. That is service. As it turns out, my battery terminal was corroded. I appreciate the fact that they understood I was not dressed for the occasion (in a suit) and with out the tools to fix the problem on my own, and understood I had a business appointment which I was in dire need of attending. They listen to the customer and jumped into action putting my quick fix before others as the need presented itself. Great Service, for which I am grateful.

    I've yet to come across a place quite like this. It has the old school appeal of a mom & pop operation & the staff is friendly & full of jokes & fun. I had the unfortunate luck of being in a car accident a short while ago & was referred to Auto Care East by my insurance company. It was convienient for me so that's where i went & I will never go anyplace else. They are a group of people that make you feel right at home. The girl in the front (Christine) was so sweet & concerned about any injuries to myself or others, she was a great ear & full of the funniest one liners I've ever heard. She has wit & humor like I've never seen before. It was overall a great experience that came out of a bad one. I highly recommenrd this place to anyone looking for an honest & reliable car repair shop. Not enough stars here to rate it high enough.

    Called & made an appt. for a tire rotation. Got there on time but had to wait. For some reason they thought they were doing an inspection, I told them no, a tire rotation. I return 2 hours later, am charged for & given a receipt for a tire rotation, only to go home and notice that they have placed a sticker for an oil change on the interior of my windshield. I called to see what actually happened- was I given this oil change for free OR was I charged $45 for an oil change I didn't need and never received the tire rotation? They seem to think that my tires were rotated and the oil change was done for free, but I find this difficult to believe.
