What Our Clients Say About Universe Autobody
EXCELLENT Based on 117 reviews Jonathan Rosario2025-08-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My car was hit while parked, and my insurance company recommended this shop. I’d heard of them but never used them before. Even when my insurance made things a nightmare, this place went above and beyond to do right by my car. For anyone who knows me, you know I take care of my car down to the smallest detail—and they matched that level of care. Special thanks to John and Lisa for staying professional and honest with me the entire time. If you want a body shop that truly cares, this is it. You’ve seen their tow trucks, you know the logo—and now I know the quality behind it. They guarantee satisfaction and work on everything from luxury rides to old school classics. Too many shops are out to take your money or cause damage to make more of it. This is not one of them. I honestly don’t think any other shop would have done what they did for me. They’ve earned my full respect—and my future business. Thank you again. Jason Rudolph2025-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brought 3 of my cats to Universe Auto Body & they killed every time. Showroom work every time. Thank you guys, highly recommend. fiifi johnson2025-07-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where do you find a body shop these days that will go out of their way to help after your car has been totaled and is just waiting to be salvaged? This shop did exactly that. My Cadillac was severely damaged, and I stopped by to retrieve a few personal belongings from the trunk. Because of the impact, the fuse box was destroyed, and nothing power-operated would work — including the trunk and glove box. The key didn’t help either. Despite the challenges, the staff didn’t hesitate to jump in. They stopped what they were doing and spent over an hour trying different methods — removing the backseat, checking fuse access, and more — until they finally got the trunk open so I could get my things. They didn’t have to do any of that, but they did it with patience and professionalism. If this is the level of care they show for a totaled vehicle, I can only imagine the quality of their actual repair work. Highly recommend this place — true professionals with heart.

They did a excellent job on repairing my front fender, which was smashed in by a careless driver along with the push bar. Counter lady was very pleasant and helpful thru the entire process even assisting me to obtain a rental for a week while repairs were getting done. Love this place... amanda cohen2025-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the time the NYPD called Universe Auto Body Center to tow my car after being in a car accident. Andy who towed my car, was kind, caring, and considerate. Sarah who did the intake and handled all of the logistics with the car was professional, calming and gave the best customer service. Would highly recommend Universe Auto Body Center.

This auto shop is 100% recommended, I loved my experience with Universe, I am so glad my Insurance company assigned them to repair the damages on my car, FRANK ! made sure my car was picked up after being victim of vandalism, this occurred over the weekend as soon as he received my information he reached out to me and made sure to get my car was picked up immediately so that no further damages were made. It took them less than a week to return my vehicle which is amazing ! Everyone was very helpful and extremely nice to me everyone starting from the front desk secretary to the towing crew, they kept me updated throughout the entire process. I mean I had a great experience and I will always go back to them in the future. They have gained a new customer forever grateful 🙏 Thanks FRANK and the entire Universe crew ! Jennifer Rosso2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a rear end accident Geico referred us to Universal auto body. The best thing that Geico has ever done. Lisa from the very beginning was on point with all her answers. I was annoyed by the whole situation and she made it easy not only for me but for my husband who clearly cannot live life without his car! She even went above and beyond by getting the car rental to pick us up and bring us to the rental office. And yes I have to say John was very helpful and super nice but Lisa is the best! Please please please don’t let her go Universal! We need more Lisa’s in this world! And by the way idk what kind of magic or luck they have but they were able to get the back piece of a Hyundai Palisade 2024 in less then 3 wks! Not sure how they did that since the Hyundai dealers do NOT even have such luck they usually take 2 months for 1 piece. But Universal Auto Body accomplished the task! Yes I’m still in shock. But thankful we were referred to them. Lisa thank you so much!
