I recently had the privilege of having an inconsiderate driver damage my car by breaking the passenger sideview mirror and run off like a frightened child without leaving a contact number. I’m guessing it was a very petite individual driving a monster SUV. You know the ones who can’t see over the steering wheel.
Regardless, the mirror needed to be fixed. I wanted to get a number of estimates to see what might be a reasonable cost. I choose 4 auto-body repair facilities, all within a half mile of each other along the Rt. 130 corridor in Burlington Twp., NJ.
It was a great experience as well as a cautionary tale that I could relay to anyone reading this review.
Shop #1 gave me an estimate of $1,500; this included replacing the glass mirror, cowl, paint the cowl and blend the passenger door to match the cowl. Now I’m thinking I might have to get my insurance company involved, which I was not expecting. Shop #2 - CARSTAR - wanted $50 to give me an estimate. WHAT??? Why? “Some people aren’t serious about getting the repair.” Well, slap my head and give CARSTAR a really bad review. Shop #3 - replace the entire mechanism - remove and replace the entire mirror apparatus, paint and blend the passenger door, front quarter panel and the cowl of the mirror to match the rest of the car. This shop came in at $2,800. Now I’m thinking the $1,500 estimate is looking reasonable.
Lee’s Autobody was Shop #4. Mr. Lee looked at the broken mirror, determined that the mechanism to move the mirror was working perfectly, so that didn’t need to be replaced. Just need to replace the glass mirror, replace cowl, paint and blend the new cowl. $350. My eyes lit up. I’ve found my man!! All through the process I found Mr. Lee to be forthright and honest; going out of his way to assure me that the job could be done quickly. I entrusted my car to Lee’s Auto-body and had my car back in 2 days. Mr. Lee completed the work to my complete satisfaction. As a bonus, he popped out a dent in the rear quarter panel, AT NO CHARGE!!! The work he performed was to my satisfaction, his prices were reasonable and his honesty and personality were exceptional. I would highly recommend Lee’s Auto-body as your first stop should you need auto-body repair. From my experience, you will not be disappointed. Thumbs UP to LEE’S AUTO-BODY. Thank you Mr. Lee.
Best experience yet at a body shop! Let's autobody is a professional, friendly and skilled repair shop. He did the work in a very decent time frame and gave updates along the way, coordinating with our insurance adjuster. We were also in Canada during the repair period so we are grateful for how easy the process and communication was. Thankyou again for great service!
Wow. How nice and empathetic is Mr. Lee and his lovely wife. I never meet a shop owner this nice. Made me feel like family. I just want to find anything else wrong with any cars just to go visit these to incredible people again. Honest is an understatement.
Mr. Lee was so awesome, took good care of my car
After my car was repaired (which he did a great job) my air wasn’t working, he immediately fixed the problem and my car is as good as new.
He is very Genuine and cares. Thank you so much Lee for the amazing services.
Kevin and his team know what they are doing when it comes to auto body repair and anything related to auto repair. I have been going to Lee’s Auto Body for years and keep goin back because of the service Kevin and his team provide. To date I have had auto body work and maintenance done on all of my vehicles here. He matched the toffee brown on my Jetta’s replacement hood and fender, you can’t even tell that it was ever in an accident!
Mr. Lee is a very friendly and his prices are extremely fair and reasonable. His work is nothing but excellent and fantastic. My car was very beat up from a hit and run, but now it looks just as new! The repair took about a week and a half due to the severity of the damage. I'm very happy with the service I received. Thank you!
Wanted to see I I could get help at 5:20pm just to drop off and stuff for the repair and the guy answering said everyone's gone can't help
So you can only pick your car up the last hr
Kevin Lee did an outstanding job replacing the front bumper and hood latch on my Kia Forte. He's a personable family man and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!
I just picked up my car and the work that was done was amazing. Kevin is polite and does quality work. I would recommend using Lee's to everyone i know.
Great service and rates. Kevin, the owner, is very knowledgeable accomdating and does quality work for the best price possible. He gives explanations for costs and what is damaged so you can make an informed decision.
