When I finally got my car back to Cambridge after sliding off the road in NH during a snow storm I had significant body damage to my car. I went to several auto shops to get quotes... - Aladdin's Auto told me it wouldn't be feasible to fix and that it was totalled. - Boyle's Body Works felt like going to police station, asked to see my registration and the told me it would easily cost more than $5k. - Hayg Auto Repair barely had room for me to park and didn't have anyone available to give me a quote when I was there at 10am on a Friday. - VIP Auto Body also told me it was totalled and lectured me about why it was too much damage to quote. He told me to have someone else figure out what needs to be replaced and then come back. Initially I went to Meineke and they redirected me to Foreign Body Works, which had plenty of room to park. Foreign Body was great from the start, walked me through all the damage and told me ways that I could fix it myself and also what it would cost for them to fix. $3k for all the parts and $3.7k if they have to paint everything. Additionally, their hours are really flexible and I was able to pick it up nearly an hour after they officially closed for the night a week later. I've been driving it for 3 months since the fix and no problems. If you're debating where to take your vehicle, I can't recommend Foreign Body enough.

Thank you Mario for extra effort touching up some small scratches. Great service and excellent job! Plus affordable price 25% lower price than other body shops in Cambridge and Waltham areas.
View on GoogleI recently entrusted my vehicle to Foreign Auto Car Repair Service in Arlington and was satisfied with the prompt and professional service provided by Mr. Mario. The repairs were completed efficiently and to a high standard. Importantly, Mr. Mario demonstrated a strong work ethic by prioritizing the completion of my vehicle repairs despite facing a personal emergency (related to CA wildfire). This dedication to customer service is commendable."
View on GoogleStop searching, go here. Mario helped me out after my insurance denied a claim to fix a destroyed door on my car. He was able to beat the price of every other auto shop I quoted, and was able to finish in a very timely matter. Quality service and communication. Tesla certified too! Afterwords he helped me figure out how to get a better insurance plan too. Thanks Mario!
