Very quick on a quote. Nice people. Reasonable price. 10 star quality work. Honest work for a fair price. No hassle no twisting. Pulled up, lady came out looked at the damage, shot out a price. Explained why the high price(Subaru white pearl is a pain to match) circled all existing damage(which I like a lot). Took pictures of whole vehicle. Have an estimated repair time. Filled out paperwork.All in all I was in and out within 15 minutes for drop off.Pickup was even faster. Under 5 minutes. Just call ahead.Will use again if I need any body work/dent repair

***Please do not go to this place.*** These people will literately take your money . DO NOT GIVE ANY DEPOSITS unless you want to lose your money. They ordered a part for me that took over two months. When they called me on October 19th to tell me they had it, i told them i would be going to pick it up later. They told me I had to pick it up in 30 days otherwise they will return it and charge me $200 for restocking fee, I told them i was going to pick it up. before that. I went today November 3rd (15 days later) They told me they returned the part and they had to charge me $200 because thats how much they were charged. Even though i told them i was going to pick it up and they returned it 15 days before the cut off day. They could not show me proof that they were charged $200 (cause obviously there was no charge) so they said they would still have to charge me. BE CAREFUL DO NOT GO HERE!

I am very pleased with the service I received here. Thunder auto body meet and exceeded my expectations. My car came in looking a mess but left looking new. I was helped by Cathy Raga and she is an absolute professional. She is very knowledgeable and laid out many options for me. Cathy left me with no room for concern. I am extremely glad I chose thunder auto body. I would recommend them 10/10 every time.

I got into a bad accident, not being to experience in these matters I had purchased some of the parts prior to bringing it to an Auto Body Shop for an estimate. It became difficult to find an Auto Body shop that would work with the NEW parts I had purchased. Then I was recommended to Thunder Auto Body. I was referred to Kathy who is the actual owner. I felt extremely impressed by this female Owner. Her ability to communicate effectively with the insurance company and confirmation of temporary rental was exceptional work!! She made sure that everything my car would need was covered. I felt not only satisfied with my result but extremely proud of the representation of this Latina Woman who OWNS this business. She is a perfect example of Women Empowerment. On top of being the owner to on of the few Auto Body Shops owned and operated by a woman. She was beautifully represented. In addition it just so happened to be International Womens Day!! It was a great way to celebrate that day watching her work. . Thank you so much for all your time and efforts on my car.

Great people, Great customer service. Jonathan was extremely helpful in getting my car fix from an accident that happened in November. He was very knowledgeable about how the insurance payment should be paid out to who first. All I will say is Thunder Auto body is the place to go if you need work done or if you are doing an insurance claim.. My experience was at an 110% Professional 👍👍👍

Love the job they did on my car. They had to fix my rear door and bumper. They matched the original paint perfectly. Since the first moment Cathy was very kind and helpful. She contacted the insurance and arranged everything in order to fix my car. She promised to have the car ready on a specific day and she did. Very professional work.

Amazing customer service. I can be soft spoken at times but they were extremely helpful from the beginning and made the effort to hear everything I had to explain. I walked in after my car was badly damaged from a hit and run. They constantly updated me and filled me in on everything and when I finally got my car back it was in way better shape than I was even expecting. My car looks great now. Thank you so much for all your help. I really do appreciate it.

Jonathan and Cathy are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and very professional ! kept me updated with everything.They made the process so smooth and easy.

I cannot rave enough about the shop’s quality of work, staff and service Thunder Auto Body has to offer! I’ve had many bad experiences dealing with a few auto body shops in my past, but after my consultation with Jonathan the owner, he left me at complete ease. In every aspect, the entire experience was professional and flawless. All communications were open, fluid, faithful, and honest with nothing left in question. His attention to your needs and meticulousness to detail is what sets his shop far apart from the rest. He and his staff did a phenomenal job, and I can assure you an unparalleled experience.

I don’t like hurting people’s Business but unfortunately this body shop is responsible for my car Being a total lost due to a fire the same day I dropped it off every since then I’ve been running around in a rental paid by us. her insurance Policy covers only the minimum. my car went into this body shop for a very small dent and this is what I get and also this happened 3/18/2019 people are given good Reviews and is a lie do the math. We l. Lost my car my down payment and a debt of 4,000 which most likely my insurance will cover but that’s not the point . I’m doing this because people need to be aware of what kind of insurance policy they have and they are not taking responsibility of having a better insurance coverage with travelers insurance just to have extra money for them selfs, and to those That are lying to cover up for this body shop shame on you. this is why I’m giving you a bad reviews that from us And Don’t run a Business by screwing up. No sean victimas de negocios como estos.

Awesome place.I had a minor job - Id gotten an OEM hood ornament for my cadillac DTS and was a bit apprehensive about installing it myself. Seemed like no one wanted to be bothered with such a small job, but when I sent an email, Jonathan was very quick to get back to me, and let me know that they could help me, no problem.I showed up later that day and he took a look at the car, letting me know it was about an hour long job. When I offered to reschedule for the next week, he simply said to just drop by Saturday morning. I came by that Saturday, and the guys installed the ornament very quickly and it looks GREAT! The office was also very accommodating and the staff was friendly. I strongly recommend this place. Its local to the Newark/Union County/Essex/Hudson County area and is a great experience. Price was VERY reasonable as well. Will be back and will recommend to others.

From the moment you get to Thunder, you are ready to be helped by Cathy, who is amazing and literally explains everything as best as she can to you. Unfortunately for us, our car was hit while parked and needed repair ASAP. The auto body workers did such an excellent job and after only four days our car looked like it was driven out of the dealership lot. I couldn’t be anymore happier and would recommend this place above any other place in Elizabeth!
