I called to explain my problem with door rubbing against front fender. They invited me to stop in without appointment and fixed it on the spot with their special tool. Thank you sooo much! read more

Had about 17k of hail damage repair done here on a car I bought a few weeks before the 2023 hail storm. Service completed in winter 2023 or early 2024. Pictures speak for themselves, 2 before and 2 after pictures included. I can put my fingers between the hood and the fender. Brought it back for service request under warranty and they blamed a prior owners car accident for it and that they repaired the hail damage. Said they couldn't really fix it and he's confident his tech did everything possible to fix it already aside from taking the whole car apart or having people manually bend the hood. Doesn't seem like a legit response to me. Even if the hood is tough to fit due to a prior accident, it was fine before I brought it to them. Lifetime warranty claim seems a little washy here. I'd go elsewhere. read more

See all

These guys are the best! They provide excellent work at at great value. They provide outstanding customer service. I highly recommend them.

New Central is the best. I have gone there twice for minor auto body repair issues. They do exceptional work at a very reasonable price. They work quickly, and go above and beyond to make sure that all of the details are explained and understood so that there are no surprises. Customers are treated very well - they even detailed the interior of my car without being asked so that when I picked it up, it was perfect inside and out! Highly recommend!!! read more

This used to be a good , excellent body shop when Adam owned the shop several years ago . This body shop had my wife's car since mid February and still does not have it back . The owner Marquis will have his excuse all lined up when he is confronted about his very unreliable service . First we were told the part would not come in until end of May . This was in February now, The part came in April now and he promised to make it first priority and would have it done by end of lady week . Now he's saying someone out sick and he doesn't know where this guy put the parts and he might have the car done the end of the week. Bottom line do use new central body shop. They are very unreliable and in fact Marquis will just give you a line and try to make sense about why he can't get our car back to us. He is unreasonable and careless with his business. Do not use read more

Nope. Poor communication. Poor estimating skills. Poor turn around time. Called to see when we could pick up vehicle on the day it was supposed to be finished and they told us they hadn't even done anything because our insurance company hadn't gotten back to them. How about calling us after 5 days? We contacted our insurance and learned New Cental Auto had submitted an estimate that was 82% more than the original estimate. Come on. How long have you been in business and you can't estimate a repair better than this? The damage is so minor. Hit a plastic garabage can at 1 mile an hour backing up in the rain. Dented door and scratch along side. Then insurance company tells us they are totaling the vehicle. It's well below the MN threshold of 70% value so the entire thing is insane. Then it takes this company another 4 days to get the thing back together. We bring our car in to get fixed. We lose thousands of dollars in the process, go without a car for 9 days and now have a big fight on our hands. What did New Central Auto Body have to say, "Oh, this happens all the time." Absolutely no. read more

This body shop is impressive. They did excellent work on my car, handled the insurance claim for me, and detailed the inside of my car so it looked like new. They understood I had a limited time frame and came through for me a day early. I can't say enough about this place! The people working there are also very nice, professional, and communicate well to let you know how things are coming. Great job!! Highly recommend! read more

SUCH a wonderful auto body shop. I went last year to get a big dent out of my door and they did a wonderful job! Great communication, professional service and transparent! I recommend this place to everyone I know. They are so kind and respectful too. read more

So these pros get extra props because they not only fixed my '07 Civic and made it look shiny and new again, they RE-FIXED it for free when I snagged that ridonk low bumper cover on some kind of grassy crap. I first came to NCAB because someone backed into me at an intersection and damaged my front bumper. I also had some parking lot nicks and such that I wanted to get fixed on my own. In total, I went to four or five different places (all well-rated on Yelp or by word of mouth), and NCAB had the lowest estimate for the whole kit and caboodle. They also offered a free loaner car which was a big freaking deal. So I decided to go with NCAB. It actually ended up being this huge long wait to get the loaner car, and then there was this drama with my voicemail box being full and me not getting phone calls. In the end, they rented a car for me because the free loaner wasn't working out. I had to pay gas and a $12 fee + optional insurance. So keep that in mind if you're in a hurry (I wasn't, and thought this was above and beyond awesome). My car was ready the next day and looked amazing. They even provided a small container of paint for me to cover any new parking lot nicks. I drove away and was the most careful driver I had ever been with any car ever. Needless to say, I was pretty dismayed about two weeks later, when I walked out to my car to see that a corner of the bumper cover had snapped away from the car. Assuming it was a faulty part, I called NCB and they suggested I bring it in. When Adam looked at the car, he pulled some handfuls of grass out of the cover--I was mortified. Apparently I had snagged the cover on a small hill or something and that snapped it. Regardless, they fixed it AGAIN FOR FREE because they are the freaking epitome of rad neighborhood businesses. I'm super thankful to have my shondalahonda back in proper form. If you ever need body work, I recommend you check this place out! read more

Awesome team! Awesome job!! Transparent, fair pricing!!! This is the place to keep your baby looking cherry. read more

I had a piece of trim on my mini that needed replaced and Taylor did it in less than 10 minutes. He was very experienced and friendly. So happy to have them in my neighborhood! read more

I have have a great experience at New Central over the past eight months when I used New Central on three different occasions. The first two were on my truck when I had the misfortune to have two claims three weeks apart. Their admin work was stellar working with my insurance agent. They communicated in a timely fashion and did superb work on the truck itself. The third was just a few weeks ago with a minor issue many shops would not have even bothered to look at. Taylor put me on the calendar and dutifully took care of some touch up work that was not worth his time. Great to do business with this place. I hope I don't have to use them again but it's nice to have a "go to place" should my bad luck continue. read more

Go no where else!!!! These guys are above and beyond!!!! It's auto body shops like these guys that give customer service the title of excellence. Thanks a million! read more

Auto repairs can be nerve-wracking; you come in for one problem and many places will try to scare you into spending on additional work that they insist you need, or else something really bad will happen. Who knows if they're telling the truth. This was not the case at all with New Central. I needed to small repairs on different areas of my car. Adam was very honest and helpful about what needed to be done and how much it would cost. There was no upsale or obscure fees or charges. They did a great job with the repairs and even polish my headlights, free of charge. read more

They are really nice people, and do excellent work. My car was smashed into late the afternoon before Thanksgiving. They waited for me to drive the damaged car over to the shop before they closed, then gave me and my dog a ride to the Enterprise rent-a-car. It took 3 weeks to complete the work, counting the days off for the holiday break, but it was worth waiting for - really nice work. I highly recommend New Central. read more

My beloved 2002 Civic was damaged in an accident. I was afraid insurance would total it out, luckily they didn't. New Central did the repair work and my car came back looking like new! Almost didn't recognize it! They are a super family owned company, and go out of their way to make sure things are done correctly. Absolutely no problems with scheduling and pickup. I would recommend them to everyone. Also happy to be supporting a local business that cares about their work Jan M read more

I got hit in a T-bone accident and my car had about $8,000 worth of damage to it. I took it to New Central and they took it right in and worked with me on the cost. They even let me bring my dog in with me while we got everything figured out and petted him and gave him treats!! A couple weeks later and my car was back looking better than it did when I dropped it off. Adam even made a special trip back to the shop after they closed early for a family event so I could get my car back for the weekend. Anything car related I'll ever need again will go through New Central. Great people and even better service. read more

We have been using New Central for our body work for almost ten years now. They have never disappointed. They have a lot of experience with Mercedes vehicles and always work hard to make sure the work was done to our satisfaction. Both Paul and Adam have treated us fairly through the years and we look to them for advice for many aspects of keeping our cars in tip-top shape. read more

This shop came highly recommend from strangers on the south Minneapolis Facebook page. They did not disappoint. Not only does my car look great they gave me the tiny touch up bottle of paint incase I ever needed it. Their customer service is excellent and Adam (the guy you talk to) went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. They have earned my future business and I would recommend them above anybody else in the twin cities. read more

These guys are AMAZING! I came to them to get a small fix, and explained I don't have a lot of savings right now. They did a temporary fix FOR FREE and told me to come back to them when I get the money to fix it for real. They are so kind and understanding. I will go here for everything from now on!!! read more

They went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. I came in after scratching my car on a pole in a parking garage. They buffed off the paint in less than 10 minutes total and didn't charge me - only asked me to remember the service if I need some more auto body work. Excellent asset to our neighborhood! read more

I had the most positive experience I have ever had with a business at New Central Auto Body. Not only did they do an excellent job being a liaison between my insurance company and me, but President Paul Blumer, the repairmen, and all of the other staff I interacted with went out of their way to take care of not only my car but me as well. Paul treated me like he would a family member and went above and beyond any of my expectations. They completed my repair in a timely manner, kept me apprised of the status of my car, explained what they were doing to make sure my car was safe and more than reasonable in terms of cost. I will forever recommend this business for any type of auto body work. read more

I HIGHLY recommend New Central Auto! Brought my car in for some paint work. Dropped it off Sunday night and it was ready to go by Wednesday afternoon. Best part, my quote was for around $670. When I went to pick it up, total came to just over $420. Adam and his crew were able to save me a nice chunk of change. Very honest business, could have easily charged me the full quote! I would have never known, but they didn't. I Will be bringing them my cars from now on and sending anyone I know to them. Great work, my car looks like new again. Thanks To Adam and his crew! read more
