Probably the best customer service experience I’ve ever had. Joel was so kind and helpful all the way from the consultation through the work done. I came to get my hood sanded down and repainted due to rock chips over time. I am so happy with the result. The hood looks perfect now and he went above and beyond…

Joel and the owner of the building, Mr. Capozzi are extremely professional and kind. They will spell everything out for you to understand their work analysis, and make sure you make the best possible decision with only the facts and truth. I highly recommend this business and the people behind it. Immediately it was clear I was in good hands. I will not hesitate to come back here. While I had an unfortunate situation, I’m happy that it led to me stopping by Capozzi’s, as I now know a trustworthy shop that I will bring my vehicles if something goes wrong. David of CT Dent Worx recommended Joel, and I really appreciate that. Both David and Joel are absolute experts at their craft. Thank you David, Joel, and Mr. Capozzi for your time and valuable experience!

Probably the best customer service experience I’ve ever had. Joel was so kind and helpful all the way from the consultation through the work done. I came to get my hood sanded down and repainted due to rock chips over time. I am so happy with the result. The hood looks perfect now and he went above and beyond buffing out a scratch that was on the side of my car too. Also I got back into my car to leave and realized the interior was detailed. I am blown away by how brilliant this experience was. Thank you so much Joel!

The amount of attention that is being given to my vehicle is amazing. Rick and everyone else is very much involved with restoration work. I could not be happier with the process so far. The vehicle is not as fancy as most of the ones they typically work on but that is not stopping them from getting everything done to a level that is exceptional.
