Call Steve or Roger at Northern Valley Auto Body in Englewood NJ. They do a lot of MB body work for MB Dealers. Their phone # is 201-567-6846. Please tell them you were recommended by Gary Armando.

We had two cars repaired at Ferrari & Son(No, they don't do Ferraris!). We were very satisfied. The place is rather untidy but they do a thriving business. After he quoted you, you can haggle a bit. It is located in New Brunswick, Tel---732-247-2850, ask for Butch

I trusted my car to Lee's Garage to have my rust issues properly addressed. I was however disappointed and surprised by their service. Here is the sequence of main events:

* A mere month after their first intervention, the rust was back. I was assured that this was an isolated incident which would be addressed properly. I was however told that I would need to pay for another rental car since they were "not making any money on this repair", even though I had never questioned their asking price, and made clear that my purpose was to have my car taken care of properly, not to get a cheap fix.

* However, another mere month later, the rust is back again... So I cannot recommend that shop...

I have used Lee's Garage in Long Branch and was very happy with their work. Their customer service is exceptional from my experience.

Ali,

When was the last time you used Lee's Garage? Maybe they've changed recently... Otherwise I do not understand the difference of treatment.

I indeed went to them because they had been recommended by the dealer (Contemporary) and by some of you guys in this forum. And that's why I was especially disappointed. And not only by the need to return, and still to no avail, but by the reaction to my initial complaint: "it's just an old car, what do you expect" kind of attitude... Just like the dealer, one is sometimes led to believe...

I used them about 3 years ago when I had an incident where I broke my driver's side door on a pole while backing up. They stayed after closing to help me and got the job done quickly and did a nice job. I didn't have anyone to pick me up right away and they even offered to drive me home to Freehold which is almost a half hour away. Sorry to hear about your experience with them, but they went well beyond the call of business to help me out. My dad has also used them previously with exceptional results.
