Default Need recommendation for bodyshop in Chatham-Morristown area

Guys,

I was hoping someone could suggest a good body shop in the Morristown area to do repairs on a friend's saturn sky.

The car is currently stranded in Toms River (since the ice storm last night), and the shop needs to have the car brought up north.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks, and Happy Holidays!!

there is a place that my boy went too several times in Newark.. they are fair in pricing and do great work there.. I've seen Porche GT2's, Z06's, BMW's etc.. its also awesome that when they tell you your car will be ready on ___day it is ready on that day.. I remember the guys name was Ali and it was a Portuguese shop, I'm almost positive they tow too... If your interested let me know i'll get the info and pics of the work done to my boys s2000..

She was involved in a collision with the center guard rail on the GS Parkway. All four sides of the car were damaged as she slid on black ice. The insurance company is trying to convince her to use a local collision shop in Toms River (so they don't have to pay for the tow up north), but understandably she wants the work done locally should any repair issues arise.

call up lynne's nissan in bloomfield and ask them what collision shop they use. thats who i used, i forget the name though. They do excellent work. Once they give you the name of the shop, make sure you speak with Ronny. He is one of the two owners. My TL was hit when it was like 2 months old and he took real good care of me and the car. I'm very particular about body work and paint and they didn't dissapoint. Sorry i can't remember the name of the shop. Hope this helps.

Just as a responce to my post and to give credit to a excellent Body shop.. Here is the place:

Lusamer Auto Body Corp.
27 Austin St. Newark, NJ 07104
www.lusamer.com
973-824-0113

Ask for Ali, great guy, willing to take time out and listen to what you need and will give you the best advice for the job depending on your situation. If you ask he is willing to even take time out from his work to show you the whole place and process. Really good work and turn around time. Custom work not a problem. If he mentions where you heard of him from you can mention a friend of Robert Cifuentes with a blue 350z sent you or if its easier just print this out and show him. I was so impressed I told him I would spread the word to all the car guys I know. Give them a call and find out for yourself and no lol I don't work or have any ties to them, just a satisfied customer.
I will be posting pics in a few of some work he has done on my friends s2000.

Im trying to find pics from about a year ago where he had serious front end damage but as you can see in there pics its back to oem and looking good.. I also have a few more pics of his s2000 in my photo album..

in the mean time if you have any questions or need help just send me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.. I hope this helps..
