    Repaired

    My front tires blew out while out of town. I went to Sam's Auto Body shop due to the great reviews. Well they not only did they fix the damage but my car looks spanking new again! They did an amazing job. In addition my back brakes needed to be replaced that same week. Ken and his team were able to quickly order the brakes and router and have them replaced by end of week. Also they have reasonable pricing. I called my dealer services for a quote and it was double the cost vs. what I paid at Sam's. Hopefully I won't have any issues with the car in the near future but if I do, I'll definitely go back to Sam's.

    What I gave them... a giant dent in the passenger door

    Prior to going to Sam I checked two other places in Jersey City, and their responses were: 1st one: I won't tell you how much this will cost, just put me in contact with your insurer 2nd one: Hmm about three grand. Here's a printed estimate for it. Will take about two weeks to complete. Both cases left me with a sketchy feeling about them. In the end I went with Sam because it was the only in network body shop with my insurer Metlife within a 5 mile radius, and I'm really happy I did so. My vehicle had damage across the right doors due a bad turn next to an oversized snowbank that had frozen into solid concrete. The front door needed the handle replaced and some extra paint work, the passenger door needed the entire shell replaced given the magnitude of the dents. I brought the vehicle in for the team to check and they quoted the cost around $2k and time to complete around 4 days. Within a few hours insurance approved the quote and the following Monday I dropped the vehicle off with them. Today Friday I picked the vehicle up. There's a lot to appreciate about them. The first is that I don't feel like they're shadily overcharging, and that genuine business feel is a departure from the first two body shops I checked. The second is they take the effort to polish up the entire vehicle (I gave it to them thoroughly covered in months worth of dust and salt) and hand back the keys for something that looks straight out of the showroom. And finally of course is how seamless the whole process is (with Metlife at least) in getting the quote prepared, approved, and having the work done quickly. I hope I have very few reasons to revisit a body shop in the future, but if I do I have absolutely no hesitation to come back to Sam's for their work.

    My car had multiple dents and dings, and they fix them beautifully, at a fair price, and so quickly I was amazed!

    If you are a woman, your quote would be substantially higher. Please go get another estimate before you commit.

If it's not, maybe they're just having an off day. But today, I feel it's necessary to share my experience with Carlos Automotive Repair Shop, both as a fair warning to others and in the hope that the shop addresses some serious issues. I chose this place because it's only six minutes from my home and I like to support local businesses. I'm new to the neighborhood and found them through a quick Google search. First Visit: My first experience was with rear axle work. I was told it would be done by a specific date. I understand things don't always go as planned -- and I'm okay with that. The job was eventually completed, but they forgot to tighten my lug nuts, and I ended up losing two while driving. Their tech had to remove two from another wheel just to keep me going until I could get to AutoZone. I let it slide -- mistakes happen. Second & Third Visits: The last two visits, however, happened within 24 hours and were unacceptable. I stopped in for a simple annual inspection. As I walked into the office, the woman at the desk was polite and helpful. But before I could even speak, the only mechanic on duty shouted from the garage, "Ayo, is that your car? I need you to move out the way." It was loud, rude, and unprofessional. I stepped out to move my car and returned to ask about the inspection. The front desk lady said it would take a few hours because they only had one tech and inspections were first come, first served. Fair enough. She suggested I come back early the next morning. So, I did -- I came back and double-parked near the shop while waiting to check in. And again, the same mechanic came out and yelled, "Ayo!" while pointing, demanding I move because he was backing up. At that point, I realized this guy must think he's a traffic enforcement agent. He was more focused on shouting at customers than doing actual repairs. I drove by and looked into the shop -- just as I suspected, only one person working. Bottom Line: This business clearly does not need or want new customers. One mechanic, poor communication, and a complete lack of professionalism in dealing with people. The work ethic here is like flipping a coin -- maybe you'll get lucky, maybe you won't. I will never return to this shop. And if you value your time, money, and safety -- I suggest you think twice before doing business here.

When I told him I didn't want to spend $200 on a new Volvo headlight lens, he made it work. He always prioritizes the repairs. What I mean is this: he tells me everything he finds wrong and lets me know which problems can wait. He never tries to scare me the way a lot of mechanics do. Also, I never seem to have to pay for the same job twice. On the rare occasion that I have to come back, he makes it right. Lastly, I want to mention how he bends over backward to work within my schedule. I have lost count of the number of times I have shown up and said that I need my car back the next day, and Ami saved the day.

    Terrible experience -- avoid this place at all costs…read more I brought my car in because it was shaking slightly. Ami confidently told me it was the engine mount and quoted a price to fix it. After a few days, I picked up the car and saw the issue wasn't fixed. He then said it might be the gear mount and charged me again. Still no fix. He blamed defective parts and asked me to come back. When I did, he was on vacation and left it to a worker who clearly had no clue what was going on -- and I got another bill. After promising a refund if he couldn't fix it, I gave him one last chance. I waited three hours and he never touched the car. Then he gave me a $1700 bill and refused to return my car unless I paid. He held my car hostage. Ami is full of smooth talk and zero results. This shop is a scam. Don't make the same mistake I did.
