Ziggy Auto Repair

Ziggy and his staff are friendly and take the time to give you updates on your car. Your car will be returned in a relatively quick amount of time as good as new. The workmanship is great. Having GEICO on site is a huge convenience. I definitely recommend.

Very professional. Friendly staff. Geico and Enterprise rental on site. Ziggy is quite a character. Quick work but prepare to pay for premium prices. Recommended but you better be rich or very insured.

I would recommend Ziggy’s to anyone who needed body work on their car. The staff is courteous and very helpful and the work they did on my car was fantastic! While my car was in the shop, they sent me texts updating me on the progress of the work. They also sent a text after I picked up my car thanking me for my business. I had planned on washing my car the day after I picked it up since it was filthy when I dropped it off, but to my pleasant surprise, the car was spotless inside and out, and even had that new car smell! I can’t say enough about how great my experience was with Ziggy’s :)

This is definitely the place to be. Ziggy fixed my mirror at no cost (Well i have written this review long back) and painted it with exterior matching paint. He said come back for other work and I am not gonna charge you this time. Wow. Never happened that before anywhere.

Great service. They’re very helpful and take the time to explain everything. The updates you receive on your car’s progress as its getting fixed certainly help put your mind at ease. What I loved best is when I went to pick up my car, I had a mix up with their opening hours. But, they understood and very kindly opened the doors to me, for which I was very grateful. The guys were again super helpful and very cheerful, not to mention the car looked perfect (it had even been lightly cleaned inside). I’ll definitely be going back to them anytime I have a problem. I suggest you do the same!

I was around 20 and in college trying to make ends meet. One day while driving through Livingston NJ, a drunk driver coming from the opposite direction took a sharp left turn at the intersection I was driving through and took me head on. Thank God I was able to slam the brakes to not get killed but needless to say he pretty much totalled the front end of my Honda CRX (remember those?).
I share those details because it was over 20 years ago that I was introduced to Ziggy’s and the owner was nice enough to take really good care of this broke college kid. I have recommended dozens of friends to this shop through the years and every one of them has bragged about the quality of work this shop does.
I’ve had some bad experiences with other body shops and I must say, These are really good people and hope I never need them again but if i do, i know they will always take care of me and my car.

I have a small collision accident due to black ice. The hood and front bumper of my x5 were damaged. My insurance company has an onsite adjuster there and he was very nice and easy to work with. After checked out reviews on Unilocal,i agreed to let them fix my truck. I expressed my concern on parts and eventually they worked out my insurance company and ordered all genuine BMW parts.
Just like other reviews say, Ziggy himself is a really nice guy and very kind to give me a ride back to home after i dropped my truck there. And there is a bottle of touch-​up paint in the cup holder when i picked my truck. They did a really good job, the new paint perfectly matches the rest of the body and the truck looks just like a brand new again.
If you have a BMW needs some body work, don’t afraid of letting Ziggy’s body shop handle your car. i see plenty of German cars there. This is a great local business and they do honest and quality job.

Body work looks good. Reminded Geico rep about the washer reservoir was cracked in the accident. Picked up the car went to fill the washer reservoir and it leaked all over, was not replaced or fixed. They said it was, if it was it would of been filled up. Next time I will not use this place for repairs!

Ziggy is an amazing guy, and his whole shop is great, fast, friendly, inexpensive, and they really cater to your needs like a good small business should. Great that they have the rental car (Enteprise) place right next door if you are in a pinch. I will definitely come back!
A big thanks to Ziggy!!!

Just picked up my car and was very happy with the work done and the service provided. I would recommend this shop to anyone requiring body work.

Try not to be in a car accident. If you are in one, this is the place that makes it right.
The big car insurance places have their offices located right on site along with car a rental place.
Work is done quick and correctly.

My repairs started to fall apart. They took longer than estimated to finish my car. Would Not suggest using this garage

Ziggy’s never disappoints me. The shop is run with such organization and efficiency it’s unheard of for an auto body. Not to mention it’s the cleanest auto body I have ever been in. The work is meticulous and they are very fair. Granted I’ve only had to go there when insurance is paying, but either way my car has come back looking perfect and in a timely manner. Plus they have rental car services on site. So simple. I will trust them forever.

This place rocks! They are quick, clean, trustworthy and thorough. They fixed my baby mini cooper up perfectly! :) And they even detailed the inside for me and included a jar of paint to match the exterior in case I got dings. Love them and highly recommend.

I couldn’t be happier with the experience my family had at Ziggy’s Auto Repair. We’ve taken a number of cars here for major and minor work and there is a level of professionalism and a work ethic that you don’t see at many body shops these days.
Ziggy’s keeps you updated on your repair and every individual mechanic I’ve spoken with is ready and willing to thoughtfully answer questions instead of throwing the same rote answers we’ve all come to expect from the auto industry in general. There isn’t any up sell. There aren’t any surprise costs. I would even agree with the prior post about them going above and beyond what you might expect out of a repair.
And after the repair guess what was sitting in the cup holder of the car? A little bottle of touch up paint for its particular color so that we wouldn’t have to come in for a small dent or ding. It’s the little things that matter. How many places try to make your life easier to the point of sacrificing future business?
If you want your car back as good as new with no headaches or worries? Ziggy’s is the place to go.

The service is very good. It is not over priced. The staff is pleasant and helpful. ziggy was very helpful with a great touch up on front bumpers.

So far so good. Staff were extremely professional. This shop is part of an express deal with insurance companies and rental car companies that is supposed to streamline the repair process. Although, the express probably did not shorten the repair time, it definitely made the logistics of needing auto body repair exponentially easier. The way it worked for me was that I let the insurance pick the shop (I knew Ziggy and was pleased he was on the list). Like most others, I needed a rental car and oddly the insurance company initially told me to go to a different Enterprise in Jersey City but I called and Enterprise told me that they had a desk at the shop. That proved true and really made the difference in terms of logistics. I found later that some insurance companies also have desks at the shop. They said some high volume shops are part of this express program. The intake process for the repairs was pretty standard. Then you simply walk over to the rental car desk, you get your rental and you are off. The adjuster comes in at some point to look at the car but I didn’t know it was happening because I was already off in the rental. The adjuster called me to keep me posted of the status of the repair. When the work was done, I simply drove the rental to the shop, looked at the car, traded keys, and was off again. All said, it took about 60 minutes on-​site for intake, close-​out, and the whole rental car process. This is a review of the shop and I’ve only driven the car 5 miles since the repair so it’s hard to comment on the work. It looks brand new and seems to all be working fine so I will have to update this post if that changes. I’ll close with where I started — the shop is really top notch in terms of professionalism. It’s clear they know what they’re doing. While I hope I never have to go back, this experience makes me feel even more comfortable.

This review is for a collision repair estimate by the on site Progressive adjuster only, NOT for actual work done.
My car was rear ended and in pretty bad shape, and Progressive sent me here for an estimate. This was the first estimate I had received. The adjuster spent 5 mins walking around the car and snapped a few photos then worked up an estimate. Told me my car was fine, needed a few thousand $ of repairs and was fine to drive.
I had no intention of having the repairs done by a DRM since they are motivated to save Progressive as much money as possible, and took it to an independent repair shop as well. Just had to get a progressive estimate at some point to compare against my shop of choice. The other shop actually lifted the car since there was significant damage to the undersides and found that my exhaust pipe was bent and not fully letting exhaust out of the car, therefore unsafe to continue driving. In comparing the estimates line by line, we also found several items that ziggys planned to repair, while other shops strongly recommended replacing due to the severity of the damage.
While going through the ins co’s contracted shop/​DRM guarantees the work, you should just be weary of the potentially cursory job that might be done if you are coming through an insurance company and always get a second if not third and fourth independent opinion to be on the safe side. If I had listened to this place only, I’d be driving around with exhaust backing up into my car!
2 stars for being fairly quick (only waited about 8 mins for my scheduled appointment), and comfortable waiting area (it was broken at the time but they do have a cappuccino machine).

Took my car to Ziggy auto repair after getting into a fender bender where my rear quarter panel was hit pretty badly. They were very professional and went through my vehicle thoroughly. Explained to me what needed to be done and gave me a time frame of when it would be completed. Within a few days I got a call letting me know the car was done. Upon inspection of the work you could not tell there was any damage!!! Paint was blended perfectly!!! Even the interior was cleaned. They also left a huge jar of touch-​up paint for me to use. I hope I will never have to bring my car back for any body work but if I do need any I know where to go !!!

Ziggy’s was the second place I took my Jeep for an estimate after a drunken girl t-​boned it in Hoboken on a Friday night (I know, can you believe it?). The first place gave me an estimate after a quick once-​over, but I didn’t have a good feeling about that place.
Then I went to Ziggy’s and got an estimate that included noting that the accident had slightly affected the car’s alignment (something the other place missed). After wrangling with Drunky McIdiot’s insurance company for three weeks, we finally were able to drop off the car at Ziggy’s, and in four days, the entire job was done, quickly and beautifully.
In addition, they scrubbed the darn thing to a shine it hasn’t seen since I bought it in 2004… including the hubcaps. AND they tossed in a little jar of touch-​up paint! (Also, there’s an Enterprise right next door if you need a rental).
On top of all that goodness, they were friendly and very professional. If you live in the Hoboken /​JC /​NYC area and need body work done, don’t even bother looking elsewhere.
