Default Best body shop in Northern NJ area

So after work I stop at Shoprite for some food and park way away from every other car like I normally do. The parking lot was very empty and no cars anywhere near me, I guess this teaches me for not parking in an end spot. I come out and see a shopping cart up against my drivers side fender and just knew there was going to be a ding. Well HOLY F it wasnt a ding it was a disaster, there's three seperate dents and the paint is chipped bad. I've been to half a dozen body shops over the years and never liked the work done by any of them so I'm really hoping the Metro guys can recommend a very good shop to me.








BTW I've had the car a little over one month and a thousand miles and this is what happened. I'm so f-ing bummed right now.

A shopping cart can't do that damage alone. Someone must've been pushing it hard.

Which shop rite was this? Those parking lots are the worst. Sorry to hear about this. People seem to go to Ultimate Collision in Peekskill or Elrich Auto on LI. I'm sure other people will chime in with closer shops.

I had work done on my Prelude by Ultimate and wasn't really happy with the work. It did the job and wasnt bad but there were some imperfections in the paint and some problems with the color matching.

My friend said it looks like someone pushed the cart too but its so non believable with where everyone was parked etc... It's possible but I really think it got a little wind behind it and the downhill got some momentum going.

This was the Shoprite in South Hackensack between 46 and 80 on River Street.

What do you think its going to cost ballpark? $700-800
