north jersey body shops

Some idiot in an SUV rear ended my poor Clubby today, really blows i just had it detailed this week..I was going to take the car in to Prestige MINI and have their body shop take care of it. However GEICO recommended i use Mizzoni's auto body in Lodi, anyone have any experience with this shop? Thanks

I had my clubby fixed at prestige after my fender bender and they did a great job. I'm sure the insurance company is going to recommend you go any place but the dealer because they will most likely be a bit more expensive. I would stick with the dealer, you can be sure they use factory parts and not aftermarket cheapy parts.

just my 2 cents.

I had my VW done at Elite Auto Body in Nutley NJ on the recommendation of Tri-County VW and my insurance...I have been back four times including once with the MINI...I have always come back with money in my pocket and satisfaction with their work.

Look them up in the BBB for their rating.

I'm having my Boot done at Prestige also ... the State Farm Claims Adjuster came in at $529.00. So I brought it to Prestige for a free estimate and they can repair it for only $328.99! They told me on the phone they will almost always accept what the insurance will pay or even less and its 100% guaranteed for life. They will also set up the car rental if your insurance is paying for one.
Sorry you took one to the boot also!

When my car was hit I took it to 3 reputable places and suprisingly the dealer, Prestige, came in at the lowest price.. they did an excellent job!

Funny you say that. I ended up going there as well, it's right down the road from me. I saw your car there, green mcs right?
