DeCollibus on Rt. 135 609 Waverly St Framingham, MA
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...............

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.

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.

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.

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.

Irving St. Collision 332 Irving St.Framingham, Ma
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, on 67 Beaver Street, Framingham,
.
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.

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!

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.

Minucci Autobody & Welding 252 Pond St Ashland, MA
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).

Watson Auto Body
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.
