Central Collision

My experience with Anthony and team was excellent. Probably the best experience I’ve had with car repair. My car was recently in an accident where the rear window was shattered. Anthony made the repair so simple and quick (less than 1 day!) that it allowed me to deal with the other stressful aspects of the incident — anyone who has ever been an accident can truly appreciate that, especially since this was my first. I called around for a price quote and found that Central Collision was the most straightforward, flexible and cost effective. The whole transaction was honest, thorough and pleasant. Anthony even helped me diagnose any potential issues with the new car I ended up purchasing. Highly recommended! Anthony and Michael, thanks again for everything! I appreciate the great service.

Central Collision and Anthony are great! We had a minor dent and loose panel. Took it to another shop a few block away (that also had high ratings on Unilocal) and the guy proposed a ridiculous amount of work — full panel replacements, painting of most of the car, etc. Classic reason why people don’t trust auto body shops. I then took it to Central Collision and Anthony said he could try to have most of the damage fixed quickly. He was flexible — had some cars moved around and got it fixed, better than expected, while I waited for a great price.

Have, unfortunately, had to utilize their services since my original review. Their work is excellent (and fast), and their prices are fair. The people here are great … though I hope not to see them too often!

I don’t normally write reviews unless it is really bad or good. About a year ago I got a scratch about two feet long. The body repair shop I was using told me about $ 150. Well now I had some clear coat pealing in a few areas so I decided to Unilocal and see what I could find. I called and they told me they have to look at it. I met with Anthony and he rubbed the scratch right out. He also told me since the clear coat was in small isolated areas it is not worth the expense since they would have to work on the whole panel and told me what I need to buy. $ 20 dollars worth of stuff and my clear coat is good enough for a few more years and the scratch I had for a year is gone. If he was really looking to take people he would have told me I better get the panel done. I am not saying in anyway the other place was trying to take me but rather maybe they did not have the knowledge and experience. When looking in his shop I can see it was run very organized and clean. I will always be going there for any work I need and will always recommend them.

I needed a little body work on my Toyota Camry and I found out about Central Collision on Unilocal and it had great reviews. I drove down to the shop and spoke to Tony. I told him I needed an estimate for the insurance. In my case it wasn’t an emergency so I was fine waiting three days for the estimate, because he was doing it for free, and he has to make time out of his busy schedule to do an estimate and not only that. Affter I got the estimate and sent it to the insurance, he called the other insurance to them and explained to them what was the damage, what kind of work he has to do on the car and the cost of it all. It saved me time and my lack of experience by speaking on my behalf, and up to this point I did not pay him a dime. At the end he told me that the insurance will mail me the check and I’m free to fix it the way I want to and where I want to. After few days I got the check from the insurance and I took my car back to his shop. Four days later I couldn’t tell where the damage was and he buffed some other scratches that I didn’t even tell him. I was very happy with the work and the price. I have to say I’m hesitant to trust mechanics in general, but Tony is sincere, what you see is what you get.

Anthony is great! Always courtious, great work. its a family owned shop so you know they take pride in their work. i no longer work in the area but i would make the trip to have the quality service they provide

Called for a estimate and they couldn’t be bothered, it’s friday 4 days from christmas yes but how long does it take to do an estimate…

Right before the hurricane, I stupidly broke the driver’s side view mirror of my car. Mike was so helpful in finding the parts (even though his suppliers were affected), keeping me updated, and trying to find the parts used. They were fast, efficient, honest, and the mirror is perfect now. Thank you!

A family run business. Mike, Anthony and Roseanne guided me through my whole accident repair process. Did a great job and I would highly recommend this place to anybody! They go the extra mile. They made what was a bad situation as pleasant as possible. Thank you! TK

Wonderful quality and service from the Torre Family owners

I would recommend this place to anyone that’s needs body work done to there car. My car was hit twice in one year, I found out about this place thru my insurance company after the first accident. Anthony and his team did a wonderful job repairing my car. So it was only natural when my car was hit a second time that I would take my car back to Anthony, and I was not disappointed. There work was fast & efficient and I received wonderful customer service. I pray my car doesn’t get hit again but if it does I will not hesitate to bring my car here.

My husband and I recently took our car to Central Collision for some work on our bumper. Anthony helped us out and was extremely fair and honest with us about the work that needed to be done. We are so happy to have found a body shop we can trust (though hopefully we will never need to use them again!) He was polite, friendly, and genuinely interested in saving us money. Thanks for fixing our car.

It seems to me that the previous poster doesn’t understand how insurance companies work. It can take them weeks to review and make decisions. Instead of blaming Anthony, the poster should have called his insurance carrier and asked them to expedite their decision.
I’ve used this place for almost 3 decades. They saw me through the angst of having had teenagers who thought a car fixed itself!
Central Collision is still a family business. Father (Mike, who is semi-​retired), son Anthony (who runs the place) and daughter, Roseanne, who keeps ‘em all laughing. And, of course, Vinnie a Master Auto Body Mechanic who can fix anything. Nice people, excellent turn-​around time, and fair, competitive pricing.
Don’t know if this is also a help for anyone, but they are also an approved Geico, Hartford, State Farm, Nationwide, AllState and Travellers repair location.
When you go, you might want to be prepared for a short wait as I have almost never gone there without finding a line of people ahead of me. When a place is this busy, you know they must be good!

I have to say my experience with Central Collision has been wonderful on both occasions in which I needed body work. I am sorry to hear the previous reviewer was discontented by the service. In both of my experiences Anthony, as well as the rest of the staff, was delightful, serviced with great care and expertise and the end-​result was superb. Central Collision has and will be my ‘go to’ shop for body work and paint jobs. Thank you for your wonderful work!
