Bayside Collision Service

2 – 3 years ago, i had a string of bad luck with my car. In the course of 2 years my car was brought here for body repair 2 – 3 times. In the beginning I was a bit nervous because they only accept cash for the deductibles… I was very hesitant and worried that once they got my money I would not have recourse. Well they assured me that if i’m not happy they will take care til I am happy. Well each time, they did make me happy. Not saying they are the cheapest, but they are reputable and reliable people and the do a good job. There are 3 guys here, Arthur/​Artie is the serious professional guy (owner), Richie is the laid back friendly guy, and Frank is the head of mechanics dept. One of these 3 will take care of you. Frank can sound grouchy sometimes but he’s a good guy.

Had a little fender and bender
Saw bayside collision has excellent review on Unilocal so decide to bring the car there.
First warning sign is they seems do not want to take credit card at all. They keep saying soon as insurance cut you a check bring cash and bank check to them for payment.
Second warning is the quality of parts they use, it may be very low end after market part. The bumper crack within 1 month after the repair because my 2 years old daughter rides a tricycle with the speed of maybe 2 mph ran into the bumper.
I bring the car back to the shop they said it is normal that bumper crack on impact. When I got into an accident the bumper just bend didn’t crack a hole. Now my 2 yrs daughter ride plastic playskool tricycle ran into it immediately crack the bumper.
I am no car body expert but even the manual said the bumper can withstand 5 mph impact with little or no damage.
Personally I think the cause is because the low quality part they use.
Will never go back

Great group of guys here. My father in law needed repairs on his car. Art and Richie took care of all the paperwork and made the process quick and painless. They have a little parking lot towards the end of the shop, so park there so you don’t get a ticket, your friendly parking officers are everywhere.
The shop is clean and we got the car back a day earlier than promised. I don’t say this too often about a Collision shop, but after our experience here, we actually felt great and not taken for a ride.
Kudos to you Bayside Collision service! Thanks for all your help, you guys rock!
