# #1 AUTO BODY SHOP > Auto Body Repair in Brooklyn - Free Towing, All Insurance Accepted ## Posts ### How to Select The Best Auto Body Shop For Your Damaged Car How to Select The Best Auto Body Shop For Your Damaged Car Have you ever wondered how two different shops can quote you two night and day prices for the same work? It is actually quite common for a person to get wildly distant estimates from different body shops, even on something that is typically expensive, depending on a number of various important factors.  Some people think that it depends on the quality of the work, that you get what you pay for. But is this always the case? Is the most expensive auto body shop always the best choice? When is it okay to choose a shop that provides considerably better service at less cost? There are some things that are important to know when considering which auto shops are worth the cost. Let's look at the features of a good auto shop. First, you need to know that there are vastly different shops that specialize in different things. If you have damage to your tires, maybe it's better to see a tire shop. However, if your car was in a collision or suffered possible internal damage, you may want to see a shop that covers more comprehensive care. Next, the shop you want will give you a complete and thorough diagnosis. No mechanic should be satisfied with diagnosing your car's problem solely on your description of the problem. If a mechanic does seem to be telling you what you want to hear, make sure to get a couple of other professional opinions. Another good feature of a good auto body shop is that it does not work for an insurance company. Insurance companies prefer to use these corporate chains because they will cut corners by doing things like using parts that are cheaper and possibly of less quality, to save the insurance company money. The insurance company guarantees the shop consistent business, so they both benefit, often at the expense of the customer. Yet another great feature of a good auto shop is the reviews. Now, this has to be put into context, because there are some people who will always give negative reviews. Some competitors will even try to sabotage a rival by posting fake negative comments. But look for patterns. If several different customers comment, in different ways, that the quality of the work is good, but the mechanics do not finish in a timely manner, there is probably some truth there. If there are fairly consistent high compliments all throughout the comment box, that is likely a good sign. One final attractive feature a good auto shop must possess is a penchant for good customer service. All good business enterprises are acutely aware of how crucial customer service is to their success. If a business gives poor customer service, then that means that it is not serious about staying in business. Do not patronize businesses that cannot give you the service you deserve as their customer. By customer service, we mean how the business treats its customers. Are you standing in line for a long time while a couple of service clerks are chatting it up? Are you waiting for a long time before someone even attends to you, even though there is no line? Are the mechanics and those taking your information pleasant? Do you get the feeling that the people who work there are glad to see you and want your business, or that you are just another number, or worse, that you are an annoying inconvenience? This is important because there is a direct correlation between good customer service and good quality work. Smart businesses that put a great deal of effort into making sure that the quality of their work is exceptional, usually put that same effort in making the customer feel that they are the greatest asset to their businesses. According to research… Unless you get very lucky, the absolute best way to find the right auto shops is to do your homework. Never choose the first shop you see. But neither do you have to spend weeks Gathering data on every shop in your area. Always ask around. Start with friends and family or close acquaintances who have your best interest at heart. They will tell you the truth, regardless of whether it helps or hurts the business, clientele. For example, an uncle who has used an auto body mechanic several times could tell you why he or she is the best person to fix your car. Maybe the auto body mechanic will make sure to give you his best service because Uncle Pete sent you. Shop around first. Make sure you get as much information as you can before you decide on a particular auto body shop. You better shop around  One of the best ways to save yourself possibly hundreds or thousands of dollars on a repair bill while getting the highest quality service is by asking the right questions. Before you go to an auto body shop, call ahead and ask to speak to the manager. She will have the most knowledge and be able to answer virtually all of your questions to your satisfaction. If they are charging you for taking off the hood or something that is in a gray area, maybe you better shop around. I'm sorry, what's the question? What questions should you ask? “How long have you been in business? Who will actually be working on my car? Do you provide a written warranty? What is covered in the warranty? Do you offer any discounts?” As a rule, you should look for auto shops that offer at least a two-year warranty. A one year warranty is the bare minimum. Other questions involve the auto body shop's business license, whether the car parts will be new, used, or original factory parts. Does the business carry theft or fire insurance? Don’t be afraid to be nosy. After all, it is your hard earned money being spent. Some auto body shops have discovered that they can get people to pay more when warning them that they could be out of a lot of money if they don’t get some new gadget, procedure, or part added to their car. That is why it is always good to get a second or even third opinion as to what is wrong with your car. Look for auto body shops that offer a free diagnosis. If you suspect that you are being quoted a price that is unusually high, check it against the prices that other auto body shops charge. It may be a good idea to show one auto body shop the lower prices of other shops to see if they will match it or do better. Understand the services What exactly are you being charged for? If you think it is only for parts and labor, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise. Some shops charge exorbitant prices for anything that is not explicitly listed in their quotes to you. Consider the size and location of the shop and how many people appear to be working there. If the shop is spacious, if it is located in an upscale area, or if you see a lot of people working in the front office, there is a good chance that you will pay considerably more because those factors cost the business more money. That is a major overhead. You may do much better going with a smaller operation with less overhead. Remember, you don't need an auto body shop with expensive decor or cutesy flowers in the front office, especially when they put it on your tab. Ask the mechanics to explain exactly what they had to fix and how long it took them. Estimates, please You should get the estimates from the auto body shop and look over the suggested services, closely considering the proposed costs for labor and parts. Labor will usually be a significant part of the overall costs. Other fees like miscellaneous charges will be listed farther down, usually, last. Inquire about all of these fees. If you notice some major inconsistencies, like excessive costs for labor, you can then raise concerns or just eliminate that shop from your list. Do not accept vague responses to your inquiry about estimates. If you do not get a specific price estimate, insist on it. Some businesses won't give an estimate because they can then charge you a whole lot more since they never agreed upon one. Once you get your estimate, write it down, to the penny. Show them that you wrote it down and if there are any disagreements, you can always refer to it. Finalize the shop After carefully considering all of your options, employ the information you acquired to select the best auto shop for your particular vehicle. After you have chosen an auto shop and the work is completed, make sure to fill out any evaluations offered on the kind of experience you had. This will help the shop to improve its service to you and other customers.

There is no doubt that cold weather affects your car and shuts down. Getting prepared and learning the hard truth about how to deal with extreme weather is a must. Don’t find yourself on the side of the road in freezing temperatures because you did not do some simple preparation. It’s something we all have to face. Here are some ways to deal with the cold temperatures that will affect your car. How are those tires doing? You need to check your tires and inspect the tread. As the weather grows colder and there is ice on the roads, you will need full-blown snow tires. Your tires are everything and you need to make sure you have the correct ones on your car. Don’t find yourself caught in an unexpected snowstorm with bald tires. This can be a disaster for you and your family. Not all of us are tire experts, which is why you may want to head to your local tire store. Let the mechanic look at your tire tread to determine if you need to replace them or get your new snow tires at that moment. This is the smartest way to prepare for cold temperatures coming in the next few months. Check the tire pressure during the cold weather. Low pressure leads to blowouts and can cause a wreck. Cold rain can catch us off guard. Your vehicle might slip sideways when you try to stop. This is a serious sign when getting snow tires. It can be a scary thing when your car moves on its own. Getting in an accident can go from a small injury to fatal, try to avoid both. Further, your car will suffer a lot of damage and you will find yourself at an auto body garage to get it back to its new self. Never take for granted what the weather will be in the next coming days if you live in a cold weather state. Follow the news weather reports so you can get your tires on before the rush of other drivers trying to do the same. Don’t Ignore the Battery or Electrical System Cold weather can be bad for your battery and the entire electrical system. Do yourself a favor and give your battery a lot of attention during the cold temperatures outside. First, you want to make sure it is healthy and in good shape. Any mechanic shop can hook your battery up to a tester and give you a diagnosis within minutes. You will either have to replace or buy a brand new one. Battery failure can be one of the biggest problems that can leave people stranded on the side of the road freezing in their car. Don’t let this happen to you and purchase an all-weather battery. Further, you can also purchase a battery that is the best for only cold weather conditions. Your electrical systems stem from your heater, headlights and brake lights. These are crucial in cold weather situations when you break down. Bring extra hand lights with you so you can at least be able to put lights on to flash those coming by and get help. In addition to that, when it’s snowing outside and the visibility is horrible, you want people to see your brake and headlights. You can easily check them up against a wall or your garage to make sure they are properly working. Cold weather can freeze the wires and give you a short circuit you didn’t expect while driving. If this happens during traffic, you need to try your best to get off the road and head to a mechanic shop for repair. Your heater, of course, will be everything to you when it is cold outside. Make sure it is working and you have the right fluids to keep it going. The last thing you want to happen is for your heater to shut off in a snowstorm. Get it checked at the first opportunity that you can. Get with Your Fluids As we all know our cars run on various fluids to keep it going. Cold weather can freeze them up and soon your car will stop operating. Do the research about your car so you know what fluids are the most important to keep your car running. You need to check the oil and anti-freeze. Always make sure you have the proper levels of oil in your car. Purchase the kind that can withstand cold temperatures. Check it on a regular basis to make sure everything is flowing. Anti-freeze should have a good mixture with some water so it won’t freeze. There are many testers on the market that you can use and do this yourself. When it shows that you have a poor mix, then you need to get it flushed and start refilling it up again. It also might be smart to keep a good supply of oil and anti-freeze in your car. Make sure they are in a safe place and the fumes aren’t getting into the main part of your car. This way you can avoid a trip to the hospital if becoming sick from the smell in the trunk. Protect That Windshield Cold weather is also a deterrent to a windshield. It can freeze if up so much that it cracks. There are ways you can deal with this by putting your car in the garage and away from the cold weather. Use warmers to thaw it out after a day’s drive or before you get in the car. When one little crack starts soon you will have an entire streak across the windshield. This is so dangerous because a frozen windshield can give way as you are driving and cover you in glass. The minute you see any kind of crack you need to get off the highway or road and head to an autobody garage to get your windshield fixed. Another part to pay attention to with your windshield is your wipers. These are the first to freeze and we don’t even realize it until it's time to use them. Make sure they are ready for the cold weather. Don’t forget this step as you need good working blades so you can see through any kind of snow storm. They are cheap, easy to change and can save your life one day. When is the last time you had a checkup? We all want to believe that our car is in the best of shape. It isn’t until some kind of weather condition tells us otherwise. A car can only take so much and cold weather can give it a beating it didn’t expect. Take your car into your local mechanic if it’s been a while since it’s the last checkup. Don’t risk being on the road during the cold months for something to happen. You should always have your car serviced at least once a month to make sure everything works. An auto body garage such as Salerno Service Station can give you great tips on how to prepare for the cold months. This will give you peace of mind so you don’t have to worry about breaking down when you need your car the most. A checkup can take an hour or less. It can save you a lot of money on unexpected repairs that might come about in the cold weather months. Cold temperatures don’t have to get the best of us when using our cars. We must understand we need to take precautions like anything else. It doesn’t hurt to have an emergency kit ready if you find yourself stranded. This could flashlights, food, oil, warmers or devices to clean the snow off your care. One of the main things you need to focus on in cold weather is your tires. Set them at the exact pressure stated on the side of the tire. Your tread should also be sufficient. When it’s low, consider getting new tires altogether. Pay attention to your battery and electrical system as you will need them. Make sure you have a powerful battery and it can handle the change in weather. Your heater is another concern to deal with during cold weather. Make sure it is putting out the right amount of heat. Visit a local bodywork garage to have them take a look if it feels more like air conditioning. All fluids need to be in your car as they can freeze. Anti-freeze should have the right mix. Further, change out any wipers and look for cracks in your windshield. Last, make sure your car has gotten its’ regular annual inspection. With cold weather, you may have to do this more than just once a year. ## Pages ### Insurance Inspection Center ### Press Center Salerno Auto Body In The News Television Interviews, Features and Appearances Ellen Meets Incredible Brooklyn Landlord Mario Salerno "You're amazing.

Salerno owns 18 apartment buildings and “did not want renters to stress about their payment during the #coronavirus pandemic”. Thoughts? ??? @NYTimes @SalernoAutoBody #Respect @NYTimes Mario Salerno, who owns 18 apartment buildings, said he did not want renters to stress about their payments during the coronavirus pandemic. So he canceled this month’s rent, which was due on Wednesday. “My concern is everyone’s health,” he said in an interview this week. “I told them just to look out for your neighbor and make sure that everyone has food on their table.” About 40% of New York City renters, if not more, would not be able to make April’s rent, according to recent surveys. Mario, who has about 250 tenants, said he did not care about losing his rental income in April, nor did he care to calculate the amount that he would lose. Tap our link in bio for the uplifting story. Photo by @victorblue. goodnews_movement (Brooklyn, NY): Mario Salerno left notes on doors letting tenants know they didn’t need to pay rent in April. But Mr. Salerno said in an interview on Thursday that he did not care about losing his rental income in April, nor did he care to calculate the amount that he would not be collecting from his 80 apartments. He said he had about 200 to 300 tenants in total. “My concern is everyone’s health. I told them just to look out for your neighbor and make sure that everyone has food on their table.”#unsungheroes ?: Victor J. Blue (Brooklyn, NY): Mario Salerno dejó notas en las puertas informando a los inquilinos que no tenían que pagar el alquiler en abril. Salerno dijo en una entrevista el jueves que no le importaba perder sus ingresos de alquiler en abril, ni que le importaba calcular la cantidad que no cobraría de sus 80 apartamentos. Dijo que tenía alrededor de 200 a 300 inquilinos en total. "Mi preocupación es la salud de todos. Les dije que cuidaran a su vecino y se aseguraran de que todos tengan comida en su mesa ”. # Unsungheroes Victor: Victor J. Blue  italianenclaves Let’s give a shout out to Mario Salerno from Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s Italian enclave for waiving rent to his hundreds of residential and commercial tenants for the month of April due to the current pandemic.
