A & J Auto Body Shop
65 Beaver St.
Framingham, MA 01702 508-875-1677
I highly recommend AJ Auto Body on Beaver Street, Framingham. Jim Thompson is reliable and honest and does a great job. His phone number is 508-875-1677.

I've had good luck with A. J. Auto Body. He's reliable and does not overcharge. I've had my car worked on twice - once from hit and run scratches and dents, and once for some touch ups (scrapes that were my fault), and both times the car came out really nice.

Brigham-Gill Collision
http://www.brighamgillcollision.com/index.html
We used Brigham-Gill in December 2010 when I crashed both of our cars within a 2 week period. Yes, it was a good month. One of the cars is a Honda Odyssey minivan. We had an outstanding experience with Brigham Gill. They did a fantastic job - the cars looked like new afterwards and they were great at communicating with us. I would definitely use them again.

DeCollibus
on Rt. 135
609 Waverly St Framingham, MA
508-875-7245
Some of you know that a couple of weeks ago Steve was in an accident on 128; a drive shaft flew up out of the high speed lane shoulder and struck his car cross-wise, causing severe damage to the windshield and some to the hood and A-pillar. (Had it hit straight on he likely would have been killed; the point of impact was directly in front of the driver.) Needless to say there was a lot of angst and drama over how well it could be repaired. (For those of you new to the group A) my husband is THE most anal person you will ever meet, 
is a superb QA manager becuse his brain immediately idenitifies any and all flaws in an object, idea or concept and C) is a car nut.) We ended up at DeCollibus Auto Body on Waverly Street (Rte. 135) in Framingham. He is BESIDE himself with the job that they did on his car. I have, in a lifetime of knowing him, have never seen him so satisfied with a repair job. A ringing endorsement if there ever was one...............
Brenda Crawshaw 3 May 2007
Just had collision repair and paint job at DeCollibus -- fantastic, beautiful work done quickly and right to the penny on estimate. I recommend them highly.
Nicola Cataldo 2/1/2007
We just used DeCollibus on 135 because it was recommended by this list and they were great to deal with. Everything was done perfectly and quickly.
Julia Upjohn 1/8/07
My highest recommendation goes to DeCollibus on 135W, just west of the train station in Fram. This is a family business that has done high quality work for us twice on two different cars. They're easy to talk to, nice, and more than reasonable in their costs. The insurance companies like them as well, which is a good endorsement for bang for buck.
Matt Elliott 1/9/07
DeCollibus on Waverly Street is great. I've used them for over 20 years.
Frank Genova 1/8/07
We have used DeCollibus on Waverly Street on three occassions and have had such good luck that we won't use anyone else. Great work, run by a nice, local family.

Exceptional Autobody
88 Blandin Avenue Framingham 508-872-9434
www.exceptionalautobody.com
somebody crashed into the passenger's side of my car leaving considerable damage. I took the recommendation of my insurance company representative who did a great job handling my claim and I went to Exceptional Autobody for repairs. My car looks like new, the owner Rob was very professional and helpful, they also did some minor mechanical work at no change, moreover they dealt directly with my insurance and also with Enterprise rental
This was so painless, the partnership between Progressive Insurance, Exceptional Autobody and Enterprise worked seamless. I got great customer service from all of them.
Laura Medrano 1/6/2011
I highly recommend Rob Lopes and Exceptional Auto Body. They have done very well by me and others I know. They will negotiate with your insurance company to be sure you get the best results.
When my 11 year old (but still running) minivan was totaled, they took care of getting it towed from Boston, helped me with getting a rental under my insurance and got the best value for it.
For people with less severe damage, they have done great repairs.

Irving St. Collision
332 Irving St
Framingham, Ma
508-875-7748
I have used Irving St Collision for some body work, painting, and also had my car detailed and have been extremely satisfied with the outcome. What made it even better was the service I received. I did not know much about what needed to be done and they walked me through step by step. I highly recommend them. Ask for Pat Tofani he is the owner.

K&S Auto, Inc
67 Beaver Street
Framingham
508-872-9452
I highly recommend K&S Auto, Inc..
We have brought our vehicles there three times for body work and have always been completely satisfied. Phil is the owner and he's been great to work with.
Kimberly Dallas 1/8/07
I too, recommend K&S Auto. Phil is awesome to deal with. He delivered on time and results were beyond my expectations! Extremely professional!
Deb Johnson 1/8/07
Try K & S on Beaver Street. They do a marvelous job, very professional. I've seen some of our police cruisers in there. Mr. Cunningham, the proprietor, has much training, uses good materials and is a gentleman. His prices, which he arrives at by computer software after a complete inspection, not an "eye-ball look", are fair. He guarantees good work and you get that. You will like the results.
Esther Hopkins 1/8/07
I have used K & S Auto several times over the last ten years, and have been VERY happy with the personal service, caring and competence of the staff. Phil (the owner) even sanded and painted my lumpy home-repair job on the rusty spots on my old Civic, for free, when I had left it for a different issue, because "we can't have you driving around town looking like that!"
Nice folks!

I recently took an ambulance I have been renovating to Maaco for an extensive makeover. It needed decals to be scraped off, a hood replaced, bumper replaced, and a paint job. I have to say they did a marvelous job for a reasonable price. I concur with all the good things being said about Nick. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Maaco in Nobcot!
Dawn Harkness 08/24/2007
I had Maaco re-weld a front-door hinge on my old GMC van some years ago. They did fine.
Mr Lynn 08/24/2007
We had minor body work done on older cars twice and found Nick to be helpful in deciding the best option; he was good at working with us until we were comfortable with the plan. I found the work quality to be good.
Mary Clement 08/24/2007
I have met and spoken with Nick Akbarian, the owner of Nobcott Macco. While I have not used their services, I did have them look at a scratch in my bumper to see if it could/should be repaired. They recomended that I live with it as it was in a plastic bumper and trying to spot paint the area would not look good. I did learn from Nick that his shop has been consistently getting high marks for customer satisfaction from Macco Corporate. I believe that his corparate parent surveys most clients and his shop has improved their ratings into one of the best performing shops in the region.

Middlesex Auto Body
Harrison Ave
Natick, MA

We have always been very pleased with the work at Middlesex Auto Body in Natick. Steve Williams is the owner - very honest, very reputable. It is a family owned business that has been around for many years.

Strong recommendation for Minucci's in Ashland on Route 126. I've recommended quite a few people to them over the years (three already from framcom who went and had excellent results), and have had four cars over the years have some kind of work there as well. They are just past the McDonald's after Market Basket plaza.

Pierce Collision
(Speen and Rt. 135 in Natick)
Pierce Collision has done work on our cars for about 15 years. They are do a great job, are thorough, straightforward about how long the job will take, and are all around good guys. David Pierce is one of the owners (along with his brother Steven). They've been there for years, in Natick (Speen Street and Rt. 135 behind CVS).
David O'Leary 1/8/07
I've had really good experiences with Pierce on two different cars. Nice people, good work, good communication. I can definitely recommend them.
Melissa Dantz 7/1/11
I just had my car taken care of at Pierce in Natick. Great shop and quick to take car of my issue.
My wife had a major repair done to our toyota mini van when it was rear ended. We were concerned as the rear hatch was smashed in on only a year old car. The hatch is all automatic and it came back great in less time than they said.
Richard Shapiro 7/1/11
I have had OUTSTANDING results from Pierce Collision on RT 135 in Natick. They do amazing work, do all the dealing with insurance companies and are great to work with.

Sansossios
13 Middlesex in Natick
508-655-9646
We had work done at Sansossio's. After my previous experience with a body shop, I had the work inspected after and it was excellent. They were very nice and easy to work with.
Susie Santone 7/3/11
Will second the recommendation on Sansossio's! They have worked on all three of our cars and have done a fantastic, reasonably priced job.
Leslie Burrell 7/5/11
Sansossio's is meticulous, thorough, very easy to work with, and reasonable. They handle all types of cars- have access to rentals, and I would never bring my car anywhere else.
Judy Leerer 7/5/11
State Road Autobody
Route 20
Wayland, MA
508-358-5191
My Lexus was sandwiched a few years ago. At a neighbor's recommendation I used Mike Bradley (a Framingham guy) who owns State Road Auto Body. He did a great job with my car. I'm very picky and I can't tell it was ever crunched.
My neck on the other hand is permanently damaged. I wish Mike had chosen medicine.

Tom's Autobody
Ashland, MA
(508) 881-4748
I would highly recommend Tom's Auto Body in Ashland. I just had my truck repaired there, and they took care of everything, even the rental I needed while the repairs were needed. They kept me informed with regular updates and did a simply fantastic job--they even completely detailed the car, inside and out, while it was there.
Tom Keppeler 04/08/11
My ex wife was a terrible driver. We have had a lot of experience with Tom's Autobody in Ashland. They were always reasonable, did great work and were on schedule.

Watson Auto Body
158 E Central St
Natick, MA 01760
(508) 655-6187
A few weeks ago I posted a query regarding Watson Auto Body in Natick. The majority of feedback was favorable (though one was insistently negative). We decided to go ahead with the recommendation of our Subaru dealership and bring our 2004 Forrester there for repair of a parking hit-and-run to the driver's side door and body panel.
Things went very smoothly, and I wanted to convey that back to this group.They were efficient, communicated well, and completed the job in less than a week and now it looks good as new. They called and fax when they said they would, and even helped me arrange door-to-door rental care service through my insurance. Not sure if they are overpriced (since I only paid up to my collision deductible), but they performed quick and satisfactory.
