I got clipped by a cab in NYC less than a month after buying a 3 year old BMW. It was heartbreaking considering the honeymoon with my new car had just started!
After reading the Yelp reviews and lurking on BMW forums, I ended up at Mike's. Mike did an amazing job on my car. The paint match was flawless, and the car came back to me quite possibly looking better than when I bought it. These guys really care about cars and their customers, and I don't hesitate to give them 5 stars as they really went above and beyond and paid attention to the important details. As AC said, they really are committed to fixing things "correctly and completely" and Mike personally explained to me what parts he was going to use and why. They got the car back to me even sooner than I expected and the whole experience was completely painless.
Also, I want to add that after my experience working with Progressive on this claim, I'm switching insurance companies. Make sure you read the fine print. Yes the online agencies are convenient when it comes to signing up, and they offer good rates at the outset. But do your homework! -

*I don't feel like I can give a 5 star rating only because I haven't actually had any body work done here*
Some nice person broke the driver's side mirror clean off my car one rainy night. After Honda quoted me nearly $200 for the piece of plastic that is my side mirror and an hours worth of 'labor' to reattach it, I decided I was better off on my own.
I bought my own side mirror online and was left with only the mere dilemma of getting it back on my car. It was a Saturday and most shops were not able to squeeze me in. The ones that could wanted $40-$50 to do the work.
I had heard good things about Mike's and decided to give them a call. Not only did Mike tell me to come right on down, but he popped the mirror on my car in just a few minutes and refused to take any money for such a quick and simple job. I finally forced him to at least take $10.
I wouldn't hesitate for a second to reccomend Mike to others. Super nice, honest guy who doesn't take advantage of people that know nothing about cars! -

Mike runs a very honest business. I was looking for someone to install a new body kit and fog lights on my car and I wanted to make sure that the place I went to did it right. You want to make sure they follow instructions by the manufacturer, does it with a nice touch (using the right tools, applicants, etc), and puts it on straight and leveled. Mike understands all of this and treats your car as if it is his own.
Before I ever walked in the door, I called from home to get a quote. Mike refused to give a quote until he looked at the parts and your car, which is a very good sign. Otherwise people make promises they can't keep. I emailed him the parts I am looking to install and how much I am paying for them. Mike immediately called the manufacturer to see if he can get the parts for even cheaper than I could and pass on the savings. It wasn't cheaper but the gesture I certainly appreciated.
I brought the parts to his garage as soon as I got them and Mike and his crew went straight to work. They got me a discount for a rental car at Enterprise for one day. I hoped for a FREE rental but you can't have everything. I came back the next day to see the car and it was flawless. It has been 4-5 months since the service and my car has no problems (rust, electrical problems, everything still tightly attached). Everything good.
With the labor all added up, it cost ALOT more than the Dealerships quoted me. However, I just can't trust a kid car mechanic at a dealership that just changes oil everyday to handle bodywork correctly. Aesthetics to a car is important to everybody and I'd have to live with it if they were to screw it up. Mike's knows his stuff having worked on autobody and building cars for most of his life. He builds porsches and races them! He and his veteran crew obviously knows his stuff!
So glad I went to Mike's and will surely go back if I ever have any bodywork to do!
Thanks Mike!!!
