Before me my father always went to Athenian. Its been 30 years now and the only body shop I trust to get the job done right is Athenian. They are absolute professionals and will have your car look like nothing ever happened. It's impossible for me to take my car anywhere else extremely trustworthy. Thanks for everything Nick & company.

had this to say:
I backed up into a fence and caused sum damage to my car. Checked reviews for car repair places on here and decided to try them. I first met with Jim a couple of weeks before I decided to go with them. I worked with his son Nick. Both were professional. I paid the deposit to order the part. They charge 3% per credit card transaction. 1 of 2 parts came in but was not informed til I called back. Nick apologized and we scheduled a date to drop off car and said it would be ready in a day, more like 2 but I didn't want to rush them and have to redo this project. Overall satisfied with service, job. Would I recommend- yes.(I only took pics after job done not before)
