Tony’s Collision

Rarely does one have as positive an experience as I did with trusting Tony to fix my nearly brand new car with a giant, ugly, deep scrape all along one side. As another reviewer said, Tony is a man of integrity. Equally important, Tony is superb at his skill and takes great pride in his work. I took my fancy schmancy car to two fancy schmancy places for quotes before I found Tony.
The two biggest shops in town — sunny waiting rooms, carnations for your car seat (who falls for that hooey??), dedicated receptionists, schedulers, etc. etc. — each told me that I absolutely had to have my car door replaced for a big scrape (not a high impact hit) on the side of my car. They each quoted me $$$ and $$$$ for the same job.
I went to Tony for a 3^rd quote, thinking he would say the same thing, and ended up leaving with a quote for $$ and an exceedingly honest explanation of why I did NOT need to replace the door.
Tony’s «waiting room» is an old car seat from decades ago and a walls of pictures from his father’s era when he ran the place. It’s not pretty, but it’s charming, and it’s telling of a guy that is more focused on getting the job done right than wooing you with wifi and flowers. Even not knowing I already had other quotes, Tony quoted a price WAY less than the other two, and explained that this kind of accident would never damage the safety beam within the door. In short, he could replace the door, but we shouldn’t, because it would be unnecessary and more expensive. After researching, I discovered Tony was right. I also discovered Tony is honest.
When I picked up my car (same week!!) I couldn’t stop smiling. Not only did it look perfect where he fixed it (he had two fix two panels and painted across three!), but he also fixed other some other parts that I had decided against to keep costs down. All that, and not a penny over the quote he gave (which he even reduced when he heard I was paying out-​of-​pocket!).
I am thrilled to have found Tony — he’s a genius at his craft, AND he’s a great guy.
(And thank you to the fellow Unilocal reviewer that emailed with me about his positive experiences with Tony).

Tony’s collision is a great body shop. Went there for an initial estimate before going to where my insurance company sent me which was one of the big autobody shops in the area. Since the big shop had a contract with the insurance company I knew they were not going to try to help me out on my deductible at all. So I got my estimate there and went back to Tony’s. Tony was honest and gave me two options as to how to get the job done (one of which did save me a significant amount of money). He did a fantastic job on my car and it looks good as new. He even threw in some minor body work for free. Bottom line is, Tony is a great guy and a family man. He genuinely has your best interest at heart and will help you save in any way he can. You can’t say that about many body shop guys so I highly recommend! He does work alone so he is not super fast but I got my car back in about 4 days. It was worth the wait!

Our family has used Tony three times. Quality of the work is most important to us, and we found Tony as good as it gets. Better outcome than the insurance suggested big shops… and often for less money.
The shop isn’t much to look at… but the integrity of the man is what sold us and keeps us coming back

I did some research and based on his only positive reviews, I gave Tony a try. I had some pretty bad paint damage to my back bumper and a few scrapes here and there. I grew up in NY but live in DC now and was coming home for a visit. I called Tony and sent him some pictures of my car– he said he’d take care of it while I was home and gave me a quote. I dropped of the car at 7am and Tony was already in the shop working! The work looks fantastic– paint matches perfect, looks like new again! He got the car done on time, for a very reasonable price (exactly what he quoted), he also threw in extras like washing and vacuuming the car! Tony himself was professional, pleasant, and I would recommend him to anyone!!!
