15th Street Auto Body Inc

I have a wonderful experience with business. I have a Mazda 3 that has a strange issue. It is still have 6 months of warranty left but a quick review search and phone calls indicate that the Mazda dealers in Brooklyn and Staten Island are at best unreliable. After reading various reviews, I decide to try my luck at 15th St Auto Body yesterday.

When I made a call to this place, the person answering the phone was upfront with diagnostic cost, and that there could be limitations on how much they could assist with my concerns. We went there any way because my wife was concerned about me drivinga car that has an engine light lit all the way to a Mazda dealer with NJ that has decent reviews.

When we got to this place, we were surprised by how orderly and relatively clean this car body shop is. I receive service immediately even though it was a Saturday. The technician was polite and most willing to share his experience and information. In 15 mins or so, he was able to address my issue even though it was an unusual one. He even went on to check on my tries and fix a lever for my boot cover that has popped off at no extra cost.

I learn that this auto body shop is a family run business operated by its 2nd and 3rd generation members. Joe appears to take much pride in that his sons are running the shop well, and the quality of the work they were able to provide. I enjoy interacting with his son who is about my age, very polite and honest.

I believe I have found an auto body shop that I can rely on to help me address issues with my car in the future when I am in a crunch.

Joe seemed like a nice guy when he gave me his quote but he completely deceived me
on the completion time. He kept my car so long that my loaner car bill costs hundreds of
dollars more than my auto body bill. They are a Geico shop, so if you have another insurance carrier, walk away. The work quality was mediocre as well. I wish I had never
brought my car there.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. THIS GUY NAMED JOSEPH AMATO THE SUPPOSED OWNER IS AN UNHONEST SWINDLER. WONT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF. INCONSIDERATE AN I WOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY BECAUSE OF HIM.

We went to 15th St. for the first time when the whole side of our new car was gouged out. They did a beautiful job and quoted a fair price. When a carpenter dropped a cabinet on our hood, we took the car back to them.

It's a family business and Joe Senior and Joe Junior are dedicated guys. Not only are they straight talkers, they are perfectionists at their trade. Body work is not something you may ever want to have to have done, but if you've ever seen poor workmanship, it often has small lumps and bumps or leaves buffing circles in the paint that show up every time the sun shines. These guys tell you the limitations of the materials, when a part is metal and can be worked, versus when a panel is fiberglass and should be replaced. Their quotes are honest and they don't overbook, so when you bring your car in, they can always take the time to walk you through your options, and they're not salesy....they don't have to be, they do great work.
