Kobi has been working on my 2017 Nissan Maxima ever since I purchased it in 2021. They keep it looking brand new. I don’t consider ever taking my car to another body shop. I’m grateful for their warm and attentive customer service.

The team at Kobi Auto Collision did an amazing job on my car. They handled everything- including dealing with the insurance company so I didn’t have that headache. The repair was flawless-looks like the accident never happened. They even washed and detailed my car before returning it to me. I am very happy with their services and highly recommend them!

Someone had hit my car so I looked up a nearby auto shop that would be able to fix my bumper. They were very friendly, efficient, and honest. They said it was a quick fix but they didn’t have any availability the same day, but told me to come the next morning and car was back to its glory. I would definitely recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 STARS ISN’T ENOUGH! I honestly can’t say enough good things about Kobi Auto Collision. After my accident, I had an extremely difficult situation because the claim involved the Town of Hempstead. Other shops didn’t want to take my car because they knew dealing with the town would be too much of a headache. At the time, I didn’t fully understand why — but boy, were they right! Thankfully, Kobi Auto Collision stepped up when no one else would. I especially want to recognize Natalie and Madeline. These two were absolutely incredible. Natalie was persistent, determined, and never stopped pushing to get things handled, and Madeline was right there helping throughout the process as well. What should have been a straightforward accident claim turned into a process that lasted nearly TWO YEARS, but they never gave up on me. They fought for me, followed up constantly, dealt with all the back-and-forth, and most importantly, kept me informed throughout the entire process. I never felt like I was forgotten just because the situation became difficult or dragged on longer than anyone expected. This goes beyond me simply recommending Kobi Auto Collision. I’m telling you: don’t waste your time going anywhere else. When other shops saw a headache and turned me away, Kobi saw a customer who needed help and took it on. Nobody wishes to be in an accident, but unfortunately, they happen. If it happens to you, GO TO KOBI AUTO COLLISION. Having the right people in your corner can take a huge amount of weight off your shoulders during an already stressful situation. Natalie, Madeline, and the entire Kobi team — THANK YOU for nearly two years of persistence, communication, patience, and most of all, for never giving up on me. You have a customer and supporter for life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clarence

I cannot say enough about him. We had an emergency on a Friday night and he was there for us. Saturday morning he had his company tow our truck to his shop.

From the moment I walked in I felt comfortable. You can clearly tell that they run a very professional shop. The work that was done to my car was amazing. It looks brand new. I would highly recommend getting bodywork here if needed.
