Shippan Auto Body

The owner named Michael has a really bad attitude! I honest have no idea why someone has a business and they are miserable and talk to people any way that they want. Very unprofessional and not worth the time. Run, Skip and Hop from this place!

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I went here after seeing the reviews and expecting a lower than usual estimate for fixing my rear bumper dent/​scratches. I was given a quote of around $ 500 which seemed fair and similar to the quotes I received from other shops in the area.
Two days later, I call to schedule the work and I am greeted by the gentleman who gave me the quote. He says that he will have to get back to me after consulting with the owner about garaging the car (2 miles away) once the work is completed. He calls back the next day and claims that he got «chewed up by the owner» for giving me a «very low quote» as it is a nice car. Apparently the price quoted was valid for only «banged up/​junk» cars. It’s funny because the owner was sitting right there when I got the initial quote, I talked to him about the quote. It is a tiny dent and a few scratches, it involves the same amount of work as removing and repainting any other plastic bumper!
I politely informed the gentleman that I will not be returning as I have other similar quotes in the area and more importantly because I did not feel like throwing my money at businesses like these that cannot stay true to their own words. What a waste of my time?! I was about to leave without going in as the place seemed too shady to my liking initially, I stopped in only because I saw another Porsche inside. I wish I hadn’t done that and saved some energy by not talking with these guys.

Just to put an update on here… I have been using these guys since 2009 with various cars, Toyota, Ford, BMW… each time I have used them they have been fair and done excellent work. I highly recommend to anyone needed an auto body repair shop.

Great service. I am relatively new to the area and needed someone to replace a side mirror that had been hit off in an accident on a Friday. I went Saturday morning and they gave me a very good estimate, cleaned the area around the mirror with compound, and taped my mirror back on until I could come back and get it replaced. Monday they ordered the part and first thing Tuesday I was there getting it installed quickly and properly. The only negative thing I have to say is that they were supposed to call me Monday evening to let me know the part came in and that I was all set to come in the next day. Instead I ended up calling myself when they opened Tuesday. But that’s a minor detail and I’m very happy with the service.

These guys were really accommodating and kind to us when our car was wrecked badly while passing through the Stamford area on I95. I would not hesitate to use them again (in the unlikely event that the need arises).

This is truly a service-​oriented business. The owner, Mike, was quick to assess my needs to fix minor damages to the car. Instead of quoting me for every single ding and dang, he partitioned different areas of work with an affordable estimate. He also took care of the minor scrapes without attaching a pricetag to it. This is the type of service that warrants repeat business. Also, as others said, he beat the delivery timetable.
Great service + great work = happy customer.

I can’t say enough good things about Shippan Auto Repair. Tony (owner) is a very honest and fair mechanic. I highly recommend his shop.

I’m not from the area, but was visiting family and needed some body work, so picked a place from Unilocal at random. Good find!
Mike did some minor work on my car, which I was trying to sell and so it needed to look perfect. My family had been quoted $ 400-​$ 500 price on this repair (change a molding on one of the side doors) which seemed very expensive, so they avoided doing it for years. Mike quoted me $ 117, had the part in by 10 am the next day, got the job done in 20 minutes, and included some paint touch-​up at no cost — and was super-​professional and helpful to boot! Wish I still lived in Stamford so I could make them my go-​to place!

Quick, easy, painless. The owner is really nice too. I highly recommend this place. Oh, and for whatever reason, there’s no website posted. So, here it is:

Just amazing. Mike and his crew will change your expectations about car repair. The work they did was flawless and reasonably priced, with professional service throughout. My car looks good as new! I can’t recommend them more highly.
