Annette and Acme were a pleasure to work with. I needed repair for my suv that was rear ended a few weeks prior. I made the call and Acme took it from there with the insurance company as well as getting me into a rental from Enterprise in Roslindale that afternoon when I dropped my vehicle. Everyone was welcoming and helpful! I would absolutely utilize their services again in the future if needed! Thank you Acme! read more

ACME did a great job with my car that had been scratched all along the driver side while parked. They made it very easy for me as they made arrangements with the insurance adjuster to go directly there, appraise the repair, and receive payment directly. They did it in exactly when they said they would. I got what looks like a brand new Soul Red Mazda. The owner is great and Annette the go to person at the reception is fantastic. Highly recommend them! read more

I tend to distrust people who work on my vehicle because of previous experiences where I've spent far more money than I had budgeted for or what was equivalent to the service and parts received. I came across this body shop through my car insurance and will gladly return because they have earned my trust. Not only did they repair my car without flaw, they also went out of their way to educate me on what else I could get out of my insurance to improve the value of my vehicle. Ethically, of course. To top it off, the owner stayed behind 30 extra minutes as I was delayed in traffic on a Friday and then personally assisted me with my son's baby seat. He also helped me to transfer my groceries from the rental to my repaired vehicle. I was so grateful that I was happy to offer him a $40 tip which he refused. Talk about integrity. I'm happy to report that there are still decent human beings out there who will not scam you just because they can. This business has earned my loyalty. read more

We take all our company vehicles here. The service. Care and attention they give is top notch. Love speaking with Anette, even if it is for a crummy reason like my car needing fixing. :) read more

No one wants to need a body shop. But when you do, you want them to be helpful, responsive, and to do a really good job. Everyone we spoke with was great - a special shout out to Annette who called when she said she would, answered my many questions, and was just all around lovely. And what really counts - my car looks great! read more

They were super quick honest and thorough when replacing my mirror, telling me not to bother with insurance because the repair was less than my deductible. Also they gave me an exterior wash! read more

My mom brought her car in for an estimate after a minor car accident. She was recommended this auto body shop by her insurance because of the close proximity to her house and "good" ratings. When my mom inquired about an estimate the representative she spoke with insisted she sign an agreement prior to the estimate being conducted. The agreement was a contract stating she was agreeing with ACME completing all repairs and that she will be fully responsible for making payment for all work performed. Signing that form would have been fine if she agreed to all terms and quoted price. Instead, she rejected to sign and pointed out she wanted an estimate before committing to their service. I rated this auto body shop poorly because instead of giving my mom a quote as she originally requested, they made excuses that it would simply take "too long" to do the estimate and tried to trick her into signing a contract. It seems as though an estimate would have been performed only if they contract would have been signed. I understand the want and need for customers but that was just a shady move and could have been handled differently. read more

I went to ACME after an accident . From the moment I contacted them they were extremely professional. Annette was super nice and efficient. I can truly say they made a stressful situation easy. I recommend them to anyone needing auto repair for whatever reason. I hope not to need their services again but if I do there will be no hesitation as to where I will be going. ACME did an excellent job for me!!!!! read more

Had a series of unfortunate experiences here that showed a complete lack of communication, customer service, care and attention to detail. Would not recommend using this body shop. I brought my car in for bodywork as tree branch had fallen on my car. This shop originally quoted 5-7 days for the work. I showed up 7 days later and was told that no parts had arrived and work hadn't started yet. I was frustrated that I had to show up to get this information and didn't get a call. I was told to come back in a week. I came back a week later and was told the parts STILL hadn't arrived. I told the shop I needed the car back and would bring it back when they received the parts. Magically, the parts arrived and I was told I could pick the car up that afternoon. When I picked the car up it was still dusty and trim pieces that were removed were not re-attatched but just left loose in place. Work took twice as long as quoted but still felt like a rush job. About a month later, I noticed water leaking into the car right where the work was done and a mold smell. I brought the car back to Acme and spoke to Steve who quickly looked at the car and said "I can't find where the leak is coming from, but these things happen, its not our fault". I brought it to another shop who identified a loose drain hose directly next to where the work was done by ACME- either disconnected by the original damage or by the work. I brought it back to ACME with this information and Steve again denied any responsibility. Refused to look at the car again, and refused to admit the possibility that the leak was caused by the original damage and not fixed by the shop, or caused by the work itself. My insurance finally has agreed that the water leak is associated with the damage and subsequent work, but not after I had to drive around with a moldy car for weeks. Cannot stress enough the lack of care, communication and customer service at this location. Please go elsewhere read more

I rarely write negative reviews, but I had terrible experience at Acme. I had my car completely repainted at Acme, and even though I was told it would take 2 weeks, maybe a little longer, it took 30 days, and when I finally got my car back, the dash panel had gouges and scrapes on it, including right over the passenger side airbag of my 2006 Infiniti FX35. He gave me $500 off my deductible for the damage, but he should have offered to replace the dash panel, which costs $2600 with installation. I am going to have to pay this myself, and it won't be at Acme. It will be at my Infiniti dealership. The paint job itself is pretty good, but he also missed painting the neck of my right side mirror. This caused me a lot of stress, and it's going to cause me a lot of money to fix the dash panel. Go somewhere else. UPDATE: I've upgraded my review to 2 stars because Acme has purchased me a new dash assembly for my car and wants to install it free of charge. If they do a great job, I will upgrade this review to 3 or 4 stars. I appreciate that they want to make this right. 2nd UPDATE: They were really nice and replaced my dash panel. They wanted to make the situation right, and they did. I am very happy with the end result. read more

They do great work. My front bumper was like new. They set up Enterprise rent a car to drop off car and pick up rental. The staff is friendly. They take pictures of your car before and after. The only reason giving 4 stars is that they told me I could receive texts for step by step process from their appraisal, insurance company appraisal to when ready etc... But that did not happen. Though when calling them they were able to provide me w full detail on what was going on. read more

I had a very poor experience at Acme Body & Paint and I would not recommend this body shop. Let me explain. My BMW was rear ended by someone texting and driving. Based on the quality of the Yelp reviews I saw, I took my car here. From the minute I dropped off the car, I felt uncomfortable. Everyone felt like a salesman, and that is not how I want to feel at a body shop that I am supposed to trust with fixing my car. I had issues: 1. They do not use original manufacturer parts, which is a real problem for me because if I am spending this much money on fixing my car, I want it to look exactly like it was before it was damaged. Of course, it is better for their bottom line to use cheaper parts, but that's not what I want. 2. They refused to make commitments - for example, I asked when the car would be ready and they waffled and ended up giving me a window of 3 possible dates of completion. Not good since I can't just leave work whenever they get around to finishing things up. 3. Their prices were sky high. I was quoted $775 by Acme Body & Paint. Elite Body Works in Roslindale quoted me $550, Brookline Foreign Motors in Brookline quoted me $600, and Newton Collision in Newton quoted me $550. For the exact same repair job. I took a hard pass on the shop and got my car fixed elsewhere. A few weeks later, I spoke with a friend who said that she had her car repaired at Acme and was still trying to bring her car back for further repairs because they made mistakes. Glad I dodged that bullet. read more

OMG!!! What a team!! I usually never write reviews.... But the guys at ACME deserve it. They never gave me the run around. Great communication. Did a wonderful job on my car. I still need a few things done on my car- there is no question- I will bring it back there. Thanks for #WOW Service!!!! A. Jones read more

As my car sat dormant for the past 3 months in front of my house, I noticed that the front bumper was becoming looser and looser by the day. Sometimes I would give it shove and get it back into place only to see it loose again in the morning. I finally decided that I would have to take it somewhere close by because I wasn't sure the bumper could stay in place during a long drive. I called Arborway where I get my mechanical work done and they recommended Acme (as well as Peter's). I drove over to Acme because it was in walking distance of my house. I had what i can only describe as a dream of an experience. A young man came out to look at my car, gave it a much better shove than I had been giving it and put the bumper back in place. He said, "Pop the hood while I go get some fasteners and I should have you out of here in 5 minutes." He came back and did some quick work on the front of the car from inside the hood. Then he gave the bumper a firm shake and it was solid. "We're good," he said. "Bring it back if you have any more problems." No charge. Especially during the pandemic, this was a heartwarming experience. Of course, since this is JP, when I got home my space was taken. But given what had just happened, I didn't care, and found another one. read more

All around great experience working with Acme. I highly recommend them. The staff is organized, friendly, and professional. The repair and restoration look fantastic. The work was completed well within their time-frame estimate. Super. Thank you! read more

I just picked my car up after some minor body work. They did an excellent job of explaining the process, negotiating with insurance to ensure I paid nothing out of pocket, and, most importantly, returned the car looking much better than before the accident. I also loved the online updates and photos they post to let you know where you are in the process. Overall, a great experience and I would wholeheartedly recommend them. read more

I went to Acme after reading reviews here on yelp and even then I was supremely impressed with the repair quote, repair time and customer service. Also as other people have mentioned here, they did clean the interior of my car which was a pleasant surprise. I absolutely recommend this place!!! read more

I brought my new Tesla to ACME Body and Paint to repair a minor scratch on the back bumper. I went in for quote, which was the cheapest quote I got compared to the Tesla dealership and other reputable auto body shops in the area. ACME had good reviews and half the price of what I was quoted for, I was a little hesitant, but went with it. The repair was done within a day and a half. They didn't get the exact matching color at first, but they kept trying until they got the exact color. I was extremely happy with their work. The do lifetime warranty on all their work, which gave me a piece of mind. A week later I noticed an area on the bumper that appeared a little smudged, I contacted David to make him aware, he took care of it right away. It only took 15 min and I was back on the road again. I'm so pleased with their work and highly recommend them. read more

I heard about Acme thru Yelp. Saw the great reviews and decided to go there. Took my car in because of hail damage. I had dents all over my car. They did PDR (Paintless Dent Repair). They did an excellent job repairing the dents. The job took a little longer than expected but it was well worth it. read more

Acme Body & Paint - Body Shops Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

ACME Body & Paint is as good as it gets. I just picked up my car there and it looks amazing. I can't say enough good things about this shop. I was rear ended a little over a month ago, and after jumping through the proverbial insurance company hoops, brought my car there based on Yelp ratings. I was not disappointed in the least bit. I dropped off my car on Monday in the AM, and it was ready Thursday in the AM. Besides replacing the bumper, they also detailed the interior and exterior, and installed some mudflaps my wife gave me for my birthday at no charge. At the risk of sounding like I'm developing a man-crush, they were also fast, courteous, and knowledgeable of the whole process. Even suggested I get a rental since I was going through the other guys insurance. I ended up using my wife's car, but they thought to at least ask. They care about you and their work, and it shows, This was an amazingly painless and pleasant experience. You will not be disappointed. read more

Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and does a great job. Went here for the first time due to an out of state accident and felt very comfortable working with Dave the whole time. read more

Excellent service. I had a car accident a couple of years ago and they took excellent care of me. Fast and reliable. I recently needed to fix the hood of my car and they remembered my car and took care of the problem quickly efficiently. Really nice people. I highly recommend ACME. read more

These guys were fantastic. After accidentally swiping our car against a brick wall in our driveway, we brought it in. David couldn't have been nicer, gave a very reasonably priced quote, and did exceptional work. I dropped the car off and they had it back in a few days. Honestly, the whole thing went so smoothly I would recommend David and his team to anyone in a heartbeat. They guarantee their work should anything go wrong with the paint or repair in the future, which brings peace of mind. read more

This is my SECOND Yelp! for Acme in Jamaica Plain: Dave and his team do a GREAT job! They are super professional and their work is meticulous. I recommended Acme five years ago, when I didn't really have a repair (although Dave helped suction out a minor ding on my car door). Since that review, I have been back to Acme with two different Toyotas - both times, Acme did a fabulous job! read more

My bumper and headlight were damaged and this went through the other driver's insurance. Acme was suggested to me by a friend and Dave and his crew did an amazing job. The repair looked absolutely perfect, rental car (Enterprise) was there waiting for me at the shop when I dropped off the car, and I left the rental car at Acme after I picked up my repaired Toyota. I can't recommend this shop enough both for the quality of work and the convenience. read more

I just got my car painted from them and I LOVE the results. My car looks brand new and their super fast. I highly recommend if your looking for a paint job in the city. They provides me with a rental for the time being while my car was in the shop which was very nice! Excellent customer service as well! They are also very flexible which I am very grateful for! Thank you again ACME team! read more

Brought my car for a rear bumper replacement. Great workmanship, great service, highly recommend!

My minivan side door was scraped and dented after a run in in a parking garage. Dave Elie and his crew worked quickly and diligently to make it literally look good as new! Price was very reasonable and was completed on schedule as promised. Would recommend to any who need body work! read more

The people here are VERY nice, but it's expensive. I had some work done here that insurance paid for, and things went quite well. I returned for work to be paid out of pocket, and the quote was double what I was quoted by Jamaica Plain Auto Body. But the people are nice and they seem to have integrity, and I was happy the first time, so I can't complain. Just a heads up on the pricing. read more

The guys here were wonderful! Their quote was substantially lower than another body shop and the work they did was beautiful! My car looks shiny and new again! read more

There are a hundred auto body shops to choose from, and this is the one!! I came here for a lot of body work on my VW Jetta after being hit and when the car was done, it looked like a brand new car! Not only were the staff knowledgable, caring and professional - but they went above and beyond to get me the best deal on my deductible and did not rush the work that had to be done. I trusted my car in their hands and they delivered! I also never felt like they were trying to rip me off, or sell me something I didn't need, as that has been my experience before when going to car dealerships for repairs or maintenance. I am so glad I found Acme body shop - they will forever have my business and gratitude! read more

Backed my car into a huge SUV leaving work today and put a big dent in my bumper. Was so so sad until I took it took Acme and it was fixed for nothing in five minutes. Looks amazing. I am now so happy. New JPer and new forever customer! Thank you! read more

We bought a brand new car and within two weeks it was rear ended. Read the reviews and decided to try this place out. Good decision. These guys really care about what they do and patched our baby up like new. They paid attention to all the details like making sure the paint matched and that all the scuff marks were gone. read more

It's crazy to me that these guys have been reviewed less than 20 times, but completely understandable that they're unanimously 5 stars. This winter, thanks to space saver drama, all four doors of my car got keyed down to the metal in some parts. Acme took me on with limited notice, was friendly and helpful every step of the way and may or may not have repaired some scrapes on my front bumper free of charge. But here's what really set them apart for me: adding insult to injury, my rental car's tail-light was broken in a parking lot, I brought it back to them, they called around to find the cheapest part and replaced it free of charge. It's impressive in this day and age to find a body shop you can trust 100%, but Acme is definitely that place, can't recommend highly enough. read more

I brought my Toyota Avalon to repair the rear-end. When I picked it up, I swear the paint job made it look better than before. It looked brand new! Acme Body and Paint is the best! read more

Amazing! They made a stressful task completely stress free. I talked to John, he called Enterprise Car Rental to come to his shop and pick me up, I dropped my car off, and was in the rental within 30 minutes. One week later, as he estimated, my car was ready to be picked up. I left the rental & the keys with Acme, and drove off in my car that looked like new. It really couldn't have been any easier. Updates with pictures of the car on the website was another great service since it was great to see the daily progress of their work on my car. read more

I had excellent work done at Acme. John and Linda communicated the process well, dealt expertly with the insurance company of the at-fault driver that hit my car, and helped me to work with said insurance company to provide a rental car for use during the repairs. The work itself looked great. I have a close friend that does body work on commercial trucks and he said they did an expert job. Highly recommended! read more

I have been a repeat customer over the years and each time I have been delighted with the outcome. Excellent service and great attention to detail. read more

This place is fantastic! Just got my car back from them and it was perfect...they even took a couple dings out that weren't part of the appraisal, at no extra charge. On top of that, my car was clean and fully detailed inside and out, like new! AND I had a full tank of gas which I'm pretty positive is not how I left it with them. Customer service is fantastic, they are communicative, professional, super friendly, and they make the process of dealing with insurances companies really easy. I cannot possibly sing enough praise for this place, and I have family and friends who have gone to Acme and would say the same. Do not hesitate to bring your vehicle here! read more

The shop is great! The guys are very friendly and seem honest. They fixed my bumper and made my car look like it never happened. They work together with a car rental place that makes it very convenient. Its very reasonably priced too. read more
