Body shop recomendation close to Manhattan

Hi! I am about to purchase a CPO vehicle and just to be on the safe side I would like to have the car inspected by a diligent body shop for possible accident damage.

Does anyone know of a good shop who would do a thorough inspection close to Manhattan, for a fee of course? If you have a personal contact that would be ideal! Anyone have some idea what would be a reasonable fee to pay for a body inspection?

Thanks much

This is a very large Top Notch operation in Rockville Centre L.I. . People go here from NY, N , and CT. Highly reccomended.

+1 million, I was gonna suggest this place to you to. I went there when my car was rear ended, the place is def top notch. Ask to speak with Brian, he is very knowledgeable. Also, it is on the list of mb certified repair shops in NY.

I will ask for Brian and I hope they have time for something small like this.

Make an appointment, & let them know, you know their time is valuable. This is a very busy, very large, professionally run place that will amaze you. They go the extra mile for customers and do a superb job.

If your car's been worked on, they'll know.

if my back bumper was hit, back driver side. chrome piece is missing, unaligned now, and black paint on the corner of the bumper. How much do you think that would cost to fix, do I have to get a new bumper?

yes they do, i had an official mb license plate frame which was damaged and they told me they couldnt legally replace the part for me thru insurance but if i bought the part and gave them my receipt they would cut me check. i had a check in the mail the next day. it was only a $32 part but they go the extra mile to return ur car the same way it was pre-accident. on top of all that, they waived my $1000 deductible and made sure they got me a loaner even tho i was under 25 at the time and enterprise does not like to loan cars out to under 25 individuals without a huge surcharge.
