Body shop in NYC?

Candide13 · 06-11-2017, 01:09 PM

Well, you won’t believe this. I was washing the car in our underground garage beneath our apartment building when an elderly neighbor ran into the front left of our car; I am glad he did not hit me. The damage is pretty significant, and while it is not on the right side, I think it is likely that the whole bumper will be replaced plus various other bits. As it is in insurance job, I was going to take the car to BMW Manhattan, but I think they don’t do their own body work anyway.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a body work shop in NYC?
I know several indies for technical repair/service, but I don't think they do body work.

Many thanks!

Gotham City Collision in Long Island City. The owners are M3 & Porsche Owners. Nothing better than having an Enthusiast oriented body shop, they'll make sure the car is perfect. Mention Freak Racing to the Owners for a discount !

I got the car back from Gotham and could not be happier! Their team did a phenomenal job and it could not have been a better experience, given the circumstance of an accident repair.

They are also M3 enthusiasts, so they share your OCD!

I totally recommend this wonderful shop!
