Gary and the team at Marim Auto Body were communicative, efficient, and accommodating. I have USAA Car Insurance and within 30 minutes of filing my claim, Gary had called me and was able to immediately start working in my car. He provided me with a detailed breakdown of cost and timeframe. Not only did Gary update me every day but when the car was completed I was so happy with the result. My, relatively older car, looked almost brand new! Would, and already have, recommend to anyone. read more

The worst is place ever. Do not bring your car there. I paid $2500 for an AC issue. Didn't work again after 4 days. I brought back the car, ask for my money back, was ensured they would fix it, never done. I am forced now to sue this company. read more

I've been taking my cars to Marmin for years. Gary and his guys have always done great work. Very reliable. read more

See all

I've used Marmin two times in the past year for high-end bodywork and a windshield replacement and have been very pleased. They're ultra-fast, fair priced and do solid work. Gary and his staff are also great to deal with. I recommend them without reservation. read more

Exceptional! We've gotten five MBs repaired by Gary (New York Auto/ Marmin) over nearly 15 years. Each time he has made the insurance process easy and painless and has lived up to his word. He returns the car looking flawless in a handful of days vs the two weeks or longer that the MB NYC dealer takes. Go to him and you will be happy you did. read more

Gary from Marmin is the best! He is the most responsive, goes the extra mile to help and does great work. His is a second generation business that cares about helping the customer, being responsive and doing great work. Other competitors treat customers like numbers, not people. Marmin is a family business that cares about the customer. The competitors can't be bothered to return calls and even charge for estimates! Some luxury auto dealers won't even talk to you without charging a fee to look at pictures or the car damage. Gary stands heads and shoulders above the rest. This is his career, his family business's reputation. He cares about long term relationships, treating the customer fairly, doing good work and being responsive and responsible. Marmin went the extra mile to do superior work and even fixed the other side of the rear bumper and lights, which was not in the original estimate. They washed the car and cleaned the inside so it looked brand new. They did outstanding work on time, underpromised and over delivered. Can't say enough good things about Marmin. They are the best! I used Gary and Marmin a year later. They continue to be supremely professional and customer service oriented. I needed the repairs down by the weekend and they were incredibly responsive and did great work. As they are family owned, Gary oversees everything. The competitors are very corporate i.e. you are just a number. They have no flexibility, make it difficult to make appointments even for an estimate and won't give you a definite time when the car will be ready. Gary is just the opposite. He is responsive, flexible, stands by his word and does great work. Cannot recommend more highly! As an update, I had a fender scratch from parking on the street. Gary, as a personal favor, buffed the bumper for free so it looks totally fine. He didn't have to do this. As Marmin is a family business, Gary is in the long term relationship business. Many of his competitors are transaction oriented. Gary is in the long term relationship business. I have sent him business, offered to be a personal reference and have been a loyal, repeat customer. I can't recommend Marmin highly enough as Gary is the only one I have encountered who deserves this high praise and life long loyalty. read more

Gary is beyond outstanding! I (unfortunately) have been to his shop four times in the past five years with hits on my cars either by being rear-ended or sideswiped by other cars and e-bikes. Each time Gary was quick, professional and courteous in assessing the damage, calling my insurance company and giving me an estimate for the out-of-pocket dues. read more

Fast free drive in estimate It was insurance approved shop so it made all the paperwork easy read more

Gary, the owner of Marmin was totally professional! No highway robbery like Wally World . Almost like new. No panels whole new door. Wax for free and clean interior as well. I recommend this guy for honest business unlike outer Boroughs that rip u off. Gary best grease monkey ever. Janet read more

The owner Gary made my experience quick and easy. He was extremely professional and charged fairly unlike many other shops in NYC. I highly recommend Marmin, especially for paint work. Definitely gained a lifelong customer! read more

I never write reviews unless I am totally blown away. My parked car was hit, the entire side was smashed front bumper hanging, mirror off; it was the other drivers fault. Gary is the owner and he is amazing. I called him and he had somone pick up my car 2 hours later. He delt with insurance and was so kind and personable with me. Less than 2 weeks later he had someone drop off my car in perfect condition and even gave me a discount for paying with cash (the insurance company sent me the check). He also check my oil, put air in my tires, washer fluid, fixed a bulb and send the car back vacumed and cleaned. Honsetly, it does not get better than this. I called around to a few places and they were all short and rude. I got Gary on the phone and knew right away he was a stand up man. He really really came through. (for some reson its posting 4 stars not 5. Thank you, Gary! read more

Very buttoned up. They will do car pick up and drop off. I brought my car in after an accident and they were great about working with my insurance company. Made everything so easy. read more

Great prompt service and a terrific repair! They're not as convenient as when they were on the UES, but the pick up and drop off service can't be beat! read more

Highly recommend Gary and his staff. My 2018 Nissan Maxima had cement splatter all over my black paint. Also I had scratches and tape adhesive on the paint him and his team made my car factory new with his technique and methods. Highly recommend. Car was finished in one day. Thanks Gary read more

Marmin is using photos of their lousy job as "before" pictures when in fact they are pictures of the "after" job when their inferior clear cost wore off. Terribly misleading and dishonest! read more

I couldn't be more pleased or impressed by the professionalism of the people at Marmin. Dealing with Gary was a pleasure from the outset, making the entire experience stress free. His attention to detail as he assessed the damage immediately put me at ease, along with his forthright manner when compiling and presenting the estimate. My first impression was validated, when just four days after dropping of my car, I arrived to find it in as close to showroom condition as I could ever have imagined. Needless to say, I would recommend Marmin without reservation. read more

If you're in need of an auto body shop, this is your place. Gary is amazing. He got my car done when he said he would. I'm still in shock. I will definitely be using them again. read more

My Platinum Esclade was hit pretty badly, front and back, it came back to me as though nothing had happened !! Perfect inside and out. Gary, the owner was always available to answer the phone and aany questions. He explained the process and repairs needed for all the damage. Great experience and worth every penny. I highly recommend read more

I had read the reviews prior to choosing Marmin and they were spot on. Gary was great to speak with. He is an honest, straight shooting person, who owns and runs very professional shop. Everything was done a very timely basis (as promised) and worked out just as he had said it would. I highly recommend him and his staff. They went above and beyond what I had expected. read more

Absolutely amazing work! My car looked brand new after they were done and Gary couldn't have been more helpful and understanding.

I brought my car in this week to repair some bumper damage. Gary the owner took such wonderful care of my car- The work was done quickly and reasonably. I highly recommend Marmin. It is so hard to find a great auto body repair service in Manhattan. Thank you for taking such good care of me. read more

I have to give Marvin a zero in terms of the experience I had with him yesterday. He called me up saying " that I an dealing with the wrong people" " that he will sue me for defamation" all in a ranting unprofessional irrational way. Obviously if Marvin of Marmin collision ran a clean business he would not be getting such crappy reviews from dissatisfied customers. My experience with them is nightmarish and a message to Marvin. Your playing with the wrong guy! Never threaten me. Keep far away from Marmin/Marvin and Richie his partner in the same building who is a liar and did very little on my car but wanted lots of $$$$ for crap work. CUSTOMER BEWARE!!! read more

I often have a love hate relationship with NYC. Last week, it was solely HATE. Blizzard in NYC: bad. Blizzard in NYC during Dept of Sanitation budget cuts: worse. Having a car in NYC during a blizzard during Dept of Sanitation budget cuts: terrible. I wake up on 12/27/10, the morning after the blizzard hits, to dig out my car and I'm pleasantly horrified to see a gigantic dent in the shape of a snow plow blade on my drivers side door. So I am left with my insurance, my deductible, and Marmin's Collision Specialists. Honestly I couldn't have been in a worse mood bringing my brand new car (only 500 miles) into Marmin's, and they were pretty understaffed and overworked themselves. However, Harley (mentioned in other reviews) treated me nicely and professionally. The lady at the front desk (Marion I think?) also was very sweet and informative. Marmin's is a Proshop which made the whole process a lot faster. My car wound up being ready about 4 days earlier than they originally said it would, and Harley kept me updated the whole time (he either called me or I called him.) Even though I had no clue what he was talking about because I'm not a car person, he told me specific details about everything they were doing to my car so I would know. My car was ready exactly when I said it would be, even though it was a little annoying because the place was packed when I got there so I had to wait a bit. I looks great and I can't tell anything happened. read more

Marmins shop did an amazing job ! Gary was very knowledgeable & nice . No BS & right to the point . Came in to the shop with my kia . Other car was 100% liable for damages . Left bumper was Indented & paint job scratched on the whole left side . Horrible !! Gary took care of the problem in no time & did an amazing job ! Came to get my car appraised for the damages on Tuesday. Dropped off car by Wednesday .. Car was ready by Friday . Great job guys !! Thank you for everything!!! You did great !!! read more

Great auto shop. Garry is an honest, stand-up guy. He will make sure your vehicle is repaired in a timely manner. Brought my car to him after a break in and he had my window replaced in no time. Going through him and my insurance was seamless and pain free. Tough to find a good, honest auto shop: look no further. read more

Brought my car for minor repair on the left side of my car. It was done quickly and the painting is not that bad. The only thing I didn't like is that instead of replacing the small part that was damaged while removing it which cost only $23 bucks, they instead screwed it making a hole on the body frame. I guess they need some quality controllers for the job. It might be too small amount to deal with but i am disappointed. read more

-Nice people doing great work. Recommended by USAA. They were able to fix our car's damage very fast. Always kept up to date via text messages. Would highly recommend in the future for any bodywork. read more

Both Gary and his son were amazingly helpful when the front bumper of my used 2008 Audi A6 was ripped off. My bumper was ripped off in the parking lot at work while I was at work. I did not know how it happened so I did not want to go through insurance and risk my premiums. Given how old the car was, I was not willing or able to shell out the cash needed to replace the bumper so Gary worked with me to find another solution. He put the bumper back on and secured it with screws, ensuring the integrity of the piece. The car was back to it's lovely self after the repair. I very impressed by their craftsmanship and their professionalism. read more

Impeccable service....staple of the neighborhood for a reason...They get the job done in a timely manner.. Exceptional attention to detail delivered at a humble price...a true value.....that never disappoints...but always exceeds expectations.. Highly recommended for those who demands only the most capable people whose workmanship is of the highest standards,that can be provided by a Body Shop. Once you use Marmin you will never want to bring your car to anybody else...that's the truth...... read more

Brought my car in for repair due to a person running a red light and causing me to strike her. Marmin Collision was the shop that HER insurance sent me to. Luckily I have a truck, so there was not much damage. My experience with this shop was EXCELLENT! Andrea, whom I spoke to over the phone and in person, was phenomenal. Friendly, efficient and professional. They took my truck in, fixed it and had it back to me quickly. They did a great job and I would recommend them wholeheartedly. read more

Marmin Collision Specialists did not properly repair my car and was ready to accept payment for work not done. Not only that, the invoice shows they planned to overcharge me more than $39. They also did not call me--or attempt to try to reach me when they didn't get my voicemail to let me know the car was ready and the insurance company wouldn't pay another day for the rental. I was stuck at work. Unprofessional. They take in too many cars to give yours the proper attention or know what exactly is going on with it. WORST! Just watch this video: youtu.be/L8qL38bDxp4 read more

Someone hit my 2018 Audi Q7 while parked and Chubb recommended using Marmin over Audi. I brought my car in on Monday morning and picked it up a few days later. Gary was a pleasure to work with and the car looks like new. The whole process was easy. I would definitely recommend Marmin! read more

Wow - just have to love Gary! Crashed my car and had it picked up and repaired by Marmin - they were so professional and courtesy - what else can I say. Looks like a brand new car! read more

OMG! That was my reaction when I got out to my car on the street a month ago. The telltale note under the windshield wiper could be seen a half a block away. I knew it just couldn't be good news. And it wasn't "A rental truck hit your car and took off, sorry I couldn't get the plate number" I've spoken to the Collision Police line and they are great, however you really need to catch someone in the act to have a fighting chance. My insurance company recommended Marmin. I passed on my first instinct to take it to the dealer and Wow! I made the right move. At first I was panicked as to where I would bring my car, I thought the closest body shop would be in one of the outer boroughs not 7 blocks from my pad. So I call AAA and the take my crippled auto over to Marmin on 73rd. From the start I gained a sense of comfort. Although its a material object we tend to get emotionally attached to our rides and need some comforting when their ATTACKED BY A DAMN oops sorry calm down. Well my insurance co. told me I had a lifetime guarantee on all repair which Marmin confirmed. Parts took a few day, paint etc a few more and my baby was ready to roll in 5 days. I did have to pay my deductible due to the fact the wonderful renter took off. Thanks Marmin for a job well done and helping me deal with the emotions associated with a crime so heinous.. LOL No one was injured I'm thankful :-) read more

I came to Marmin Collisions because I was in an accident and needed my bumper repaired. Gary was so great to work with, and replaced my entire bumper for me instead of just doing the minimal repairs. Very much appreciated, and would recommend going here! read more

My grandfather had a saying when someone e would spill wine: "someone's got to keep the dry cleaner in business!" Well sadly It feels like I'm keeping Marmin in business and have been to them 2x in a year. But luckily I have only had really good experiences with them. Gary is very accommodating and was able to finish a job for us quickly before a planned vacation. Professional, friendly, reliable. Definitely recommend. read more

Mr. Gary Gartenberg and his crew did a fantastic job on repairing the rear quarter panel of my 4Runner. If only the rest of my car looked that good; I would have a "new 4Runner". I took my car to Marmin Auto on a Monday and the job was completed on Friday. Wow! Nice people, great work! read more

Gary handled the body work for my car and did an excellent job at reasonable cost. I would recommend his shop to anyone who need a handy work done on the car, especially if they live in the neighborhood like me. read more

I got rear ended on the highway and so I had about $8,000 of body damage to repair. I went to Marmin because my insurance company recommends them and uses them for estimates, so I wouldn't have to make a separate visit to an adjuster. The people at Marmin are very friendly and straightforward and seem honest. When I brought in my car, they said they'd call back later that day with the estimate but they didn't. It took several calls from me until, a week later, I finally had an estimate. They told me they'd call when the work was done, hopefully the following Friday. Late on Friday afternoon, having still not heard from them, I called and learned that the car was was ready, I could have picked it up that day, but they were closing so I'd have to come on Monday. On Monday I discovered that several items on the list hadn't been done and that I'd have to bring the car back once some parts came in. They said that when I brought the car back they'd be able to do the additional work while I waited. They were supposed to call me when the parts came in but they didn't. Eventually I called them, they said the parts were in, and so I brought the car back. I learned that the while-you-wait job would really take all day so I left the car and picked it up the following morning. At that point I learned that one of the parts was still not in and I'd have to come back. A couple of days later, I discovered two additional problems that will need to be fixed: bent or misaligned panels. When this whole job is finally done, it will have taken over a month. and required at least three drop-offs. So the bottom line? This is my only experience with a collision repair shop so I have no idea how they compare with others. They're great in communicating one-on-one but totally unreliable in calling you. Their quality control seems quite mediocre but they admit their mistakes and are apologetic. So, as much as I like them, if I ever need another job like this, I'll definitely explore other options. read more

Marmin did a great job on my car. I brought it in after a minor accident and they finished it up ahead of schedule and it looked great. Peter was incredibly courteous and professional. I highly recommend them to anyone in NYC. read more
