Additionally, Brad provided ample hands-on assistance to us while we were working through the insurance claim process. I cannot recommend Livingston Collision highly enough.
What really stood out was how helpful they were in navigating the insurance process. They walked me through each step, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was handled properly without added stress on my end.
The quality of the repair work was outstanding, my car looks as good as new and the team made sure it was all OEM parts. The team was professional, attentive, and clearly committed to customer satisfaction. I truly appreciated their communication and dedication throughout the entire process.
I highly recommend Livingston Collision center to anyone in need of repairs. They go above and beyond to take care of their customers.
Definitely recommended.
Not only did they do an excellent job with the physical repairs of my vehicle.
They went above and beyond with helping me deal with the at fault insurance company and giving me the best way to navigate with a post accident insurance claim.
From the first phone call, they have provided unparalleled customer service. They kept in constant contact, answered all my questions, helped me manage the insurance company, extended hours for my convenience, and gave me back my car in showroom condition. I could not recommend Livingston Collision more. I will be a lifelong customer.
I purchased the car about 40 years ago and have garaged and babied it since acquisition. When it was one year old in 1984, a lawn chair in my garage fell on the hood. It was a traumatic experience. I brought my car to Livingston Collision and Gene (the principal of Livingston Collision who since has passed away) replaced the hood and did a wonderful job. I recently had some work done to the car at another shop and somehow the hood got out of alignment. I decided to go back to Livingston Collision to have them see if it was possible to readjust the hood. I met with JR (who is Gene’s son) and explained that back in 1984 his dad had replaced the car hood. JR was wonderful to work with and he spent the time to explain the problem and the solution to the repair.
When I went back to the shop a few hours later, the car was outside and the hood was sitting in the closed position perfectly aligned. I believe that the repair took talent as this was done by hand with several fine adjustments to get it just right. More of an art than a science that only an experienced auto body technician could do. JR was wonderful to work with. I have used Livingston Collision a few years ago to replace a bumper on my Volvo from a minor accident. They did a great job then and a wonderful job now.
