Massive Auto Collision, Inc

I recently had the privilege of working with Tony on my BMW 435i.
He was a man of his word and squeezed me in on a Saturday morning to help install a rear diffuser on my bumper. Originally it was thought to be a quick install but after looking at the new rear diffuser we realized there was electrical than needed to be uninstalled and the complete bumper needed to be removed. I was expecting Tony to tell me it was to complicated like 2 other body shops had already told me but he didn’t.
As the project continued more issues came up that required new holes to be drilled, parts to be sawed down in size etc. I could tell by the way he worked that he knew what he was doing and looked at each challenge as a fun problem that he could solve. Tony definitely enjoys working on cars which makes it easier for the customer to feel comfortable when handing over their cars.
I would definitely go back there if I ever need body work done on my cars. Tony encompassed everything I look for in a body shop. Experience, knowledge, competence and most importantly a genuine interest in cars and making them look their best.
If you want body work done properly with that factory finish go see Tony at Massive Auto Collision.

Totally professional and courteous folks that honour their word and take pride in their work. Tony answered all my questions and concerns and did an immaculate job. They even fixed a door that wasn’t opening for free which was outside their scope of work. This is the place to go for body work in Toronto.

IN SHORT:
If I ever need body work done again, I will go to Tony at Massive Auto. If anyone asks me for a recommendation for an auto body shop, I will insist they go to Tony at Massive Auto. He knows what he’s doing, he does good work, he’s completely trustworthy, and he’ll charge you a fair price.
THE DETAILS:
A guy backed into my Toyota Prius very hard while attempting to park and crumpled the hood and smashed up the front fender. Here’s the story of my three estimates.
I first took it to CP Auto Body. The guys there were professional and nice and I got an estimate for about $ 2600, which included a loaner car for the three days they estimated the repair would take.
Next I went to Absolute Auto. Every car in their lot was a BMW SUV or a Land Rover and their waiting area seemed more like a swanky coffee shop than an auto body place. They have the prices to match. Their estimate was about $ 4700 and they said the car would have to be in the shop for nine days (!) with no loaner included. I pulled out the CP Auto Body estimate and asked Absolute to please explain why their estimate was $ 2000 more. The guy at Absolute went through both estimates and highlighted several things that were missing from the CP estimate. Then he showed me on my car what was missing from the CP estimate. Fair enough. CP had evidently missed a number of small parts that would have to be replaced. Still, $ 4700? I needed a third estimate.
Tony at Massive Auto took a quick look at my car, went up to his office computer and totaled up the parts and labor. He estimated $ 3500 and three days in the shop. I then showed him both of the other estimates. Tony’s estimate also included all the things that the Absolute guy had spotted (and the CP guy had missed), but there were a dozen small things that he either wasn’t charging me for or that he said Absolute was clearly overcharging me for.
I decided to go with Massive Auto. Tony did the work in the time he said, but ran into a small problem when an expensive motor on his painting machine died and he was set back a couple of days in the process of getting it fixed. I had rented a car through Enterprise at the shop rate arranged by Tony and he told me he’d cover the cost of the rental for the extra two days. No problem. When I got my car back it was as good as new. Excellent work and for the price they said.
A week later, following the first snow and freeze of the season, I went out and tried to open the back lift gate, but I guess it was iced over. When I yanked on it, the whole electronic handle and mechanism snapped off in my hand. Ugh. (Note that this was completely unrelated to the first repair, which was on the front of the car.) I drove over to Tony’s late on a Friday afternoon. He told me I had three options: I could buy the part new for $ 500, he could get me a used one for about $ 250, or he could try to «MacGyver» it the next morning. I came back the next morning to try the MacGyver fix. He did some drilling and put in some deep screws and then used some heavy duty glue for the plastic bits. It took him about twenty minutes and, when he was done, the lift gate was fixed more solid that it was out of the factory and the whole repair was virtually unnoticeable. I went for my wallet, but Tony said: «Go on, get outta here. Have a nice weekend.» No charge.
I’ve got a favorite butcher in Toronto. And a favorite baker and fishmonger, too. Now I’ve got a favorite auto body guy.

I called Massive Auto Collision about my car window that wouldn’t go up. Despite being booked up, they were empathetic to my situation of having an open window in winter. They quoted me possible best and worst case scenarios and looked at the car within minutes of my arrival. I was expecting a temporary patch job but was pleasantly surprised to have the window function restored within 20mins, despite a broken part. The staff were courteous and professional to all customers who came in. There was a strong sense of pride of workmanship. I would highly recommend Massive Auto Collision and they will be my first choice for future body shop work.

My wife has had her car detailed by Massive Auto Collision — and they treated her very well.
She had a little mishap with a pole, and they were able to make our car look like new! They charged us a very fair price, and were accommodating with timing and schedules.
We would definitely recommend Massive Auto Collision to any of our friends, family or neighbours!

Car collision experts and mechanics are generally gearheads. They look like they can bench press the cars they work on without breaking a sweat. Most of them are in a position to sell you $ 200 Johnson rods or hamster clamps or what have you. The average person has no idea how their cars run (me included).
Honesty and fairness seem to rule in this industry, and that’s why I went to Massive Auto Collision only on a friend’s referral.
Tony, the owner/​operator looks intimidating (see bench press reference) but I left this place with a renewed trust in auto body and mechanic shops! Without getting into too much detail, Tony had one look at my car, knew what was wrong, and took the time immediately to fix it. I was in and out in 10 minutes and I wasn’t charged for any Johnson rod or hamster clamp!
Go to these guys if you have trust issues with your car guys! Woooo!
