I had a really good experience here. I came here to repair my front bumper because it was damaged in a fender bender. Joe patiently explained to me what can be done to fix it and what the cheapest option would be. He was extremely competent and did not try to talk me into a more expensive fix. In addition, he worked with me to figure out a day when the car could be dropped off and worked on immediately, so that I wouldn't have to take a cab to work. The work was done really well - it has been over a month and the bumper looks great. The service was really the best that I've experienced so far at an auto body shop. I highly recommend this business! read more

Great Auto Body Shop replaced and painted the front driver's-side fender flare on my Jeep. The paint was an excellent color match, and the workmanship was outstanding. Thank you, Paul, for a job well done! read more

My car had a minor scrape and bumper issue. Paul assessed the damage quickly, was able to schedule a day to drop it off later that week, and completed the work on time. I just wanted a basic touch up and he didn't try to oversell me. Very easy to work with and fair pricing. I would definitely go to Paul again and recommend him to others. read more

I brought my car in for a repair from a fender bender that I was involved in. Paul returned my car in better shape than it was in before my car crash. He was very creative in his thinking to get the best parts for a reasonable price. And most of all, very compassionate and transparent every step of the way. read more

This is my first time write review on the Yelp. I highly recommend this body shop. Owner Paul is a very professional, responsible and very humble person. I made a stupid mistake when I parked into a small spot on March 1, 2021, My right side door got damaged. I am looking for a trusted body shop to fix it include my car dealer to recommend one. I felt uncomfortable some places or they ask very high price. I bought some car paint to cover litter then keep looking good workshop. I am so lucky to find Paul. He checked my car and gave me a reasonable price. He worked weekend during storm Henri here to make sure to back my car on time. He also did some extra job that he didn't charge me. :) I am very satisfied for his jobs. I hope he doesn't retired so he can help more people that needs his awesome hands to solving their problem like me. read more

Paul installed an engine cover on my toyota. It was a great experience all around. Paul knew exactly what to do, quoted me a fair price, got the job done quickly and well, and even fixed a scratch I had for no extra charge. Even better - he pointed out a repair that I didn't need that the dealership told me I needed. Paul's an expert at his craft, fair and honest. I highly recommend him if you need a body shop. read more

Paul is a genuinely good guy. You can't go wrong leaving your car with him. He loves what he does and it shows. I'm so thankful to have him take care of my car! read more

Old school values! Paul takes care or business been recommending him to anyone I can because he's PROFESSIONAL and a stand up kinda guy!

It has now been ten years since my first review of Paul's Auto Body Collision Repair. Since then I got a new (at the time) car - a 2010 Chevy Camaro - and I have continued to be a loyal customer of this shop ever since. In the past ten years I have needed Paul's services a number of times and every time my car looks like new. Not only is the quality of Paul's work top-of-the-line, his prices are reasonable and he is a pleasure to deal with. In these days of large corporations and impersonal chain collision repair shops, I much prefer giving Paul my business and do so whenever the need arises. I feel that where the larger corporations are out to make the most profit possible from my business, Paul on the other hand is looking out for me. In my experience Paul has given superior customer service. I feel appreciated for my loyalty. On a number of occasions he has been kind enough to help me out by doing various work at no charge - the latest being removal of bird dropping stains that the car wash staff could not get out. Because this is a busy one-man shop, a limited number of jobs can be worked on at one time, and the work is prioritized. You may have to wait a while before Paul has time to work on your car, especially if it's relatively minor damage. But based on ten years of being a customer, it's worth the wait! read more

I have known Paul for a long time, and I can say with 100% confidence that Paul does excellent work and provides exceptional service. His prices are fair and he is a kind hearted person. I would recommend his service to others and would return again. read more

Paul was able to assist me last minute and gained a returning customer for it!! Thank you for your kindness and quick and effective work

Paul did a FANTASTIC job on my 2016 WRX STi. Someone opened their door into the side of my car leaving a dent and scrape from the corner of their door. You would never know it had happened now. Paint was matched perfectly and body work is smooth, no waves. He also got it done in only a couple days. Aside from the car he's just a great guy to talk to. Tons of experience and great stories. If you're interested in a sweet old school chevelle, he has one for sale that he restored himself! Will definitely be back if something else happens to my car. read more

Paul's Auto Body Shop did a great job repairing the fender on my car which is 18 years old as well as matching the paint, and installing a new headlight assembly. The main worker, Paul, is friendly, and honest. He gave me the best deal out of three body shops and did good work over a few days. I have reccomended him to two others for body work and they were just as impressed. read more

Yes, you fail to mention that I spent at least $2000 for multiple jobs at your place. Out of your own spite, you lost my business...Moral of the story :treat people with well. Delete Conversation read more

Greatest place ever. Nicest man in the world. Very fair pricing and great Jody work. Has your vehicle back very quickly and does fine work. I highly recommend this body shop!!!!!Had my car there three times already and highly satisfied read more

The previous reviewers weren't kidding. This might be the nicest guy ever. Puddy may be the only honest mechanic in nyc, but this guy is so nice I wanted to have a beer with him. Anyway, all I needed was to have a side mirror cover painted. Thanks to the snow, my driver side mirror was clipped while parked on Eliot Ave. Bought a replacement and needed the cover painted. I dropped it off midday and picked it up the next morning around 10. Price wasn't cheap ($75), but it's fair. No auto paint jobs are ever cheap. It's clear he knows his stuff. He was very familiar with the paint codes, knew my mirror isn't entirely painted (black base is unpainted, only the cover is), and made sure I knew how to change the mirror. Google doesn't plot the address correctly. It's not on 80th St., it's on Valentine's Place (the dead end street off 80th). Just like a doctor, I hope I don't have to go back to him, but I wouldn't mind if I have to. read more

This guy knows what he's doing! I was really impressed with his work. He gave me the best price out of all the other body shops, and did an excellent job on my Mazda CX-9. The color Galaxy Gray is a bit tricky, but his work was flawless. He called me frequently to keep me in the loop, and did everything with my approval. The best experience I've ever had with someone's service! The main entrance is in the back on a dead end street right next to the Pizza place. read more

I had an ugly dent the size of a softball in the corner of my trunk in a spot really tough to access since there was another sheet of metal layered closely behind that area. It's actually a spot that I dented twice. Along with the dent there was a thick gash of chipped paint running across it. Like the other reviewer noted Paul gave me a great quote, far more reasonable than I expected and even drove me to the subway after I dropped my car off. I absolutely could not believe it when I picked up my car. It literally looked brand new. I couldn't see a single trace of the dent or scratch. He blended it perfectly. Not only that, I worked out a deal for him to buff a few other scratches off my car. He did an excellent job at a great price. This is my first ever review on Yelp, I just felt compelled to write this review because he was that good and fair. read more

Both my boyfriend and I took our cars there to fix some dents, scratches, and a bumper. Paul was professional, honest and did really great work. He went above and beyond and fixed some scratches that he did not quote us or charge us for. He also scraped off rust and sealed the under body without charging us. He was done on time and the cost was exactly war the estimate was. His prices were extremely fair. We would recommend him to anyone. read more

I needed to get some work done on my car after rear-ending another vehicle, so I drove around Queens and got several estimates from the local auto body shops. Needless to say their numbers were insane and well outside of my budget...then I read about Paul's Collision Repair on Yelp and I figured I'd give it a shot. Anyways he took a look at my car and gave me an estimate that was very reasonable. To put it in perspective, the next lowest estimate I received was almost twice as much, for half the work ! Unbelievable. When I finally picked up my car I was very happy with Paul's work. The front of my car (where all the damage was) looked better than the day I bought it. All in all, I am very satisfied. P.S. : Finding the place is tricky since it's located down a dead-end street (Valentine St.?) off of Cooper Ave. read more

Mr. Paul is once again the man!. He is very honest and caring when it comes to his business . Had my bumper replaced and painted. PERFECT JOB!!! Even my step-dad was impressed. Highly recommended . Just make sure you talk to him first if you decide to order your own parts . Thank you again Mr. Paul for a job well done. read more

Paul did a great job on my Subaru Impreza after I got sideswiped. He negotiated with my insurance company to convince them to write up replacement panels instead of pulling out deep dents. He also fixed a lot of other scratches and small dents that weren't part of the accident. He even glued together part of the rear bumper that had gotten knocked apart while my car was parked on the street. Paul clearly has been doing body work for a long time and knows his stuff. Because my initial write-up was incomplete, he was honest that things could be done the cheap way or the right way. I had gotten hit right before the holidays and Paul didn't BS me about the fact that since the estimate had to be revised and parts had to be ordered over Christmas, it wouldn't be done quickly. read more

I went with paul after seeing all the reviews here and also after going to several other auto shops around the area. Paul quoted me by far the best price. Not only that he did a great job on my 05 Prius....... I needed to have both front and back bumpers replaced and also the rear view mirror glue back on after I foolishly used crazy glue and caused a sizable chip on the windshield. Paul (not sure what he used) worked his magic and somehow put it back on for me after all the other shops told me I had to replace the whole windshield. That alone saved me around $300...... Just keep in mind his shop is at an inconvenient location, not close to the subway. But its definitely worth the trek.. And don't be scared off by pauls colorful language! He's a good dude! Thanks paul! read more

I had some scratches and scrapes on my black Maxima and Paul did a great job of buffing them out and hand painting the scrapes. The cost was very reasonable and Paul took the time to show me how to do it and even sold me the remaining paint in the can so that I can touch up my car next time myself. I was impressed by how honest and fair Paul is and the work was done quickly but with care. I highly recommend this place and will be back if my car is damaged again (hopefully not!) read more

Honest, charming and a true gentleman. I have always enjoyed feeling supported and educated by Paul. Do not let his incredibility reasonable prices to fool you. He is an expert in his craft who understands the intrinsic value of generational loyalty. Every person I've recommended has been impressed. Quality products are used and professional services are rendered. I am blessed to know this auto body shop. read more

the best auto repair of all. Paul is so nice and patient, you have to go to him. The best job you can ever done!

Paul did a great job in fixing my side door dent in a day! He's very nice to work with, has reasonable pricing, and is dedicated to his clients. read more

My car got a hit in the front recently. The front bumper and the right side headlight need to be replaced. I found Paul's workshop on yelp with good reviews. After spending a little extra effort in finding the workshop, I finally met Paul and he gave me the details of what he would fix as well as an excellent price (compares with the quotes I got from other workshops). With the good reviews, price and Pauls amazing knowledge about fixing cars, I decided to give a try. After one week, Paul called me to pick up my car. I was very surprised how good my car looks after fix. Paul not only did the work as discussed but also did a lot extra work outside contract with no charge. Meanwhile, he also educated me a lot what to do about other scratches and stains on my car. I really appreciate the work he did. From now on, I will recommend him to all my colleagues and friends. read more

I visited around 10 different shops for quotes on how much it cost to fix a large, nasty dent in one of my doors. Paul gave me one of the best prices, and five months later, the repair still looks as good as new. I couldn't have had a better experience. Quick note: Despite the address, the shop's entrance is actually on 79th St off Cooper Ave. read more

Coming home very late one day, I got rear-ended by some guy who ended up driving off. My damage was substantial, but mostly concentrated in the back of the car. The other guy's whole front of the car was totaled. Not even sure how he was able to drive off. Anyways, I took my car to several body shops for an estimate, but ended up coming to Paul's since he gave a fair estimate and seemed to be a nice genuine guy. The car was done in less than a week and looking like it was brand new. Could not even see anything wrong with it. And I'm a perfectionist. So that says a lot. He does miracles! He even gave me a lift to train when I stopped by on one occasion to check out the progress. How cool is that? And recently, I had a minor accident in a parking lot where I scraped my driver's side door and took the driver's mirror off by hitting the column. Yikes... So I am without a doubt going to take it to Paul's again. One thing to note is how to get to the body shop. There's a small dead-end street called Valentines (or 79th in google maps). That's the back of the shop and that's where you need to get to, to drop off your car. read more

I had a phenomenal experience here. I needed my back bumper repaired. I came in and Paul repaired it same day, and even washed my car. Super friendly, very professional, and did an awesome job. My car looked brand new when I got it back. read more

AMAZING! Go to this guy. He does incredible work! I was struck by stupidity one day parking in Manhattan and got the tip of my driver side door stuck on a tree and bent it very badly, my door wouldn't shut properly. I was heartbroken as this car is only a year old and is my baby. I found Paul on Yelp, all good reviews so thought I would stop by. He gave me an estimate in five minutes and said to bring my car by next Monday. I needed my car for a road trip that weekend, he said no problem. Dropped my car off and he drove me to the train station. And my car was ready Wednesday night! He offered to pick me up in Forest Hills rather than having to walk or take the bus. Such a sweet guy. And the work? Perfect! My door looks perfect! You would never know! Go to this man! He's honest, fast, and does impeccable work. I've already started suggesting him to my friends. I am beyond satisfied. Thank you so much Paul! read more

Paul was really helpful. He took one look at my bumper and could tell what was done to it over the years by a prior owner. Paul couldn't turn around the job for me quickly enough, as I needed the car back the same day, but gave me a recommendation to one of his colleagues who came through for me. So although Paul didn't end up fixing my car for me, I'm dropping him a good review anyway for being an upstanding guy. read more

since the vast majority of the NYC Yelp community does not own a car, it's hard to find a good shop for car repairs as the reviews are few and far between. I gotta say, the small pool of 5-star reviews for Paul is spot-on. anywho, my new truck's front right fender took some damage recently and I needed it repaired. no major drivability problems but it wasn't aesthetically appealing. coincidentally, the following day I had off for a doctor's appointment, so I brought it in for an estimate then (Friday). he gave me an estimate on time and price, and seemed very friendly, outgoing, and most of all honest. since it's just him working here, he said to call back the next week (on Wednesday) to see about his schedule. I did, and he said he could fit me into the garage on the following Monday. brought it in at 6 AM, right when he opens; got it back Thursday afternoon. he did a FANTASTIC job, definitely. Glendale is a bit out of the way - it's like a half hour walk here for me - but for the quality worksmanship, honesty, and price that I got from Paul, it was worth the exercise! plus it's not like you're walking through any bad areas. it's fairly straightforward and there are a few buses that stop nearby too (if you know where the Atlas Park mall is, Paul's shop is a few blocks away). note that the entrance is on the tiny blink-and-you'll-miss-it street called Valentine Place. it's on your left if you're coming down Cooper Ave from Woodhaven/Metropolitan, so if you miss it, you'll have to do some meandering through the streets of Glendale to get back there. I would certainly recommend Paul if you need some car repair work done! thank you so much! read more

I've gone to Paul twice. First time for my BMW which had someone back in to its side and leave. I got ridiculous quotes from other shops. Paul quoted me 1/4 of what the others were and did a great job in a timely manner. Then most recently, my Lexus was hit and I had to deal through the other drivers insurance along with mine. Paul handled all of it and really helped walk me through the insurance claims process. Hopefully I won't have to see an auto body shop in some time, but if i do, Paul's my guy read more

Paul is awesome. I bought my new Nissan Murano and didn't realized that there was old bird poop on the roof. I tried to removed the poop and found that it ate through the clear coat. To make a long story short, the dealer offered little help and I didnt want to deal with them anymore on this matter. Paul did a great job in the past on a part I needed painted for my Nissan Juke. So I went to him instead and he did a great great job blending the paint and buffing the clear coat so it looked like nothing ever happened. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who needs auto body work done. He's really good. read more

I have a repair shop in Glendale, and I refer all of my customers to Paul's because he does great work, and his prices are very affordable. Paul also did the body work on my fathers 1965 Mustang, and the paint is flawless! If you have a classic car that you need body work on, Paul is your guy! He takes the time to do all of the tedious wet/dry sanding by hand and not with a machine. You can really see the difference his attention to detail makes in the finished product. (Note - the Mustang won best in class and best in show!) read more

Paul is the first body shop person I've ever trusted. I had a small scrape on a brand-new car (6 weeks old) which ran the length of both passenger side doors. Paul was honest about what could and couldn't be done. He gave me the best and worst case scenarios; and he met the best case. Now you can't tell that there was ever any damage. He was polite, accomodating, and professional the entire time. Don't be fooled by the side-street location of the shop: he is legit and comes with my highest recommendation. read more
