NYC Body Repair Shop Recommendations?
I'm looking for front work on my 2011 X5M after my garage guys bumped the front end.
I'm having a hard time searching for a reputable BMW repair shop in NYC. Looking for a shop using genuine parts and can color match "carbon black." Can anyone here on the boards recommend any decent services in Manhattan or Brooklyn? |

I've had bumper/touch up work done by a place called "two brothers,Staten Island". They did great work.
I heard "carousel collision" 1902 Neptune Ave,Brooklyn did some legit work too.. I knew a guy "Frankie" who ran the place. Not sure if he's still there |

A city of 9 mill and nobody knows an auto body guy. Contact, Slimy Sal. tony two time, Vinnie the kid. Look for any high end shop....the best places for me have always been the dirty shithole where it looks like your car may or may not be there when you try to pick it up.

I feel your pain, some asshole at my work hit my car while parked, and gotta do the same thing, but I'm out in new jersey and getting it done by Prestige BMW most likely.

After lease return, the bumpers on my 2012 were re-sprayed by the bodyshop that does work for Westchester BMW (part of the Ray Catena Auto Group).
The bumpers were pretty scratched up. The shop did an excellent job matching the Space Grey! I insisted that they remove the bumpers to do the repair and respray. I didn't want any over spray on the fenders. See pics. I am told that they employ "old school" Italian auto body repair technicians, who also do work on Ferrari's and Maserati's for Ray Catena's group. I don't believe that the body shop is a BMW Certified shop.

My 333's are VERY corroded around the roundel, I didn't even bother going to the stealer since the previous owner curbed the hell out of the wheels. I'm just gonna have Gabriells fix them n respray them...I was quoted $600 for all 4
