I would recommend the shop with very simple repairs. Ones that are complex or require attention to detail, I would recommend going elsewhere.

Repair Quality

Overall the job is ok. The crease in the quarter panel was removed and the paint looks good. The body line on the top of the quarter panel was restored in a very rough fashion. It’s missing much of the sharpness that it had before the accident. The lift gate is also not aligned very well. There are uneven gaps and the left side of the rear spoiler is not seated fully.

Customer Service

Carmen was so great! My car was initially refused by the other front desk worker because of the breathalyzer. But I spoke to Carmen who got it in there when I told her it could be disabled.

This is where i had issues 1) got my estimate and the gentleman walked me through what was to be done 2) stopped by to schedule the repair told carmen (carmine) i needed the estimate broken in 2 … hood damage on 1 - dings on another 3) never got this 4) was told that rental car would be there monday — rental car company said you always say that but it’s not true & my insurance info was never given to rental car company 5). dings were quoted $187 each on 1st estimate… was called and told you had a new person & it would now be $525!! forget that!! 6) was told on original estimate that you had to paint hood & front side panels to make sure it matched …. but then was told only the hood needed to be done Very confusing and not sure why this was so scattered (i have used your company in the past)

I have done business with turnpike motors for about 15 years through various accidents and car repairs. They have never let me down and are always first class people. I would always use them. Of course I don't want to get in an accident but when I do, they are the best! Hands down!

Customer Service

Friendly, professional and organized!

Great service! Thank you for surprising me with an unexpected vacuum and cleaning of my chaotic toddler of a mess inside. That was 100% above and beyond. My Jeep was returned spotless inside and out and you have no idea how much that made this tired mom’s day! It is clear you all take pride in your work. Thank you for taking such pristine care of my Jeep like it was your own. I’m very impressed and will highly recommend Turnpike Motors Autobody. Wonderful communication from start to finish as well. Thank you for a smooth experience!!!

You guys kept me informed of the process, sent me photos when working on it, your staff was courteous and pleasant to work with along the way. You are the undisputed premium auto body shop in the area and being certified by Tesla made it an obvious choice to bring the vehicle to you for repair. The front had a gap a bit larger than the factory front fender, perhaps a detail that could have been noticed initially though easy to see how it might have been overlooked and you guys fixed it quickly the next day so 9/10 for sure. Very pleased.

My Experience

Swirl Marks In Fresh Paint (Mike claimed probably from washing so i guess you wash cars with sand paper then mike said “well you have a black car so it will be noticeable” so i guess its my fault that i purchased a black car. Mike also would keep guessing on things he didnt know the answer to or lie. The car also has uneven pannel gaps. The rear door rubs on the body. The window molding rubs on the other molding. Stripped bolt. Floor mats incorrectly placed. Tape left on the car. Carpet installed not perfectly. There is a noise coming from the dash board. I think you guys value quantity of cars leaving your shop rather than quality.
