Carstar spectrum truly live up to it's name. They fixed my car in a timely manner and kept me update every step of the way. My car is brand new again !! Elias was exceptional, he facilitated my rental car pick up and drop off. He was respectful and he went above and beyond to ensure I received top notch service. His hours were flexible to drop off and pick up my car from the shop. They cleaned and detailed my car inside out after repairing the dent on my door. I will definitely recommend Carstar spectrum. This will be my to go to body shop from now on. Thank you 😊 for all you did.

Brought my car here after sustaining front end damage to my car from a deer strike. The employees were all incredibly friendly and professional. They walked me through the process step by step and maintained constant communication with me providing me with updates along the way. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable car repair. Not only did the fix the damage (a phenomenal job at that) but they also cleaned my car inside and out which was unexpected. Thank you to everyone at Carstar!

I had repair work done following an accident. I was very impressed with the efficiency - one stop shopping from the insurance estimate, repair work, and obtaining a rental vehicle. The regular text updates were appreciated. I was very pleased with the quality of the repair work. I definitely recommend them and use th again.

I recently had an outstanding experience with this auto body shop and just have to share! After a minor mishap, my car’s headlight needed some professional attention. Not only did the team do a fantastic job repairing and calibrating the headlight, but they also handled my insurance claim with GEICO smoothly, making the process completely hassle-free for me. Their communication was excellent throughout the process, keeping me updated and informed. What really stood out was their efficiency; they promised my car back within a certain timeframe, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive it three days earlier than expected! It’s not just the quality of the work that’s impressive, but also their commitment to customer service. Highly recommended for anyone needing expert auto body services with a seamless insurance handling. They truly go above and beyond!

Had a very bad scratch on a brand new vehicle. I went to carstar for an estimate for the repair. They took my vehicle in right away. I waited for 30 minutes and upon receiving the vehicle back. It looked brand new. Photos of before and after are attached. Staff was very professional and knowledgeable. Price was reasonable too. I’ll be referring friends and family for future business.

Customer Service #1 professional, excellent communication, awesome quality and all around awesome with our Ram Truck and Tesla, both repaired to perfect. Great job! Thanks for your help.

DO NOT GO HERE! If your car gets towed there, you better pray its not on a Friday night because they will charge you for keeping your car in the lot DESPITE BEING CLOSED. I paid $750 to get my car off of their lot after getting to an accident on a Friday night, WHEN THEY WERE ALREADY CLOSED. If that wasn t enough, they tried to say I was drunk even though I HYDROPLANED ON AN ICEY NIGHT, and insisted I must have been drunk until the cop ASSURED them I was not. I imagine they charge you an extra fee if you are drunk which is ILLEGAL. I tried to get my money back for the days they were closed and they kept shoving us off, never calling back, until finally we just gave up. This is a racket - a corrupt garage that uses people like me to pay for their big fancy garage. I REPEAT, DO NOT GO TO THESE CHEATERS. I would give them 0 stars if I could.

I did not have a good experience with Carstar. Car star provided 2 different estimates with different amounts which ended up causing supplements which ultimately delayed the return of my car. A minor repair of scratches ( no parts replacement)which should have been completed in 2-3 days took more than 1 week. I had to make multiple calls and emails so that my car could be released.

This place is amazing!! A tree fell on our car a few weeks ago, and the people at Carstar went above and beyond, not only fixing and repairing the car, but cleaning it inside and out and making it look good as new! And we have two young kids so the car was REALLY dirty. I would never wish for car damage, but in this case, our car came back much nicer than it was before. The customer service was great, communication was clear, and the overall experience was outstanding. 10/10 would recommend!!!

My car was towed there by Geico. I went to tell them the issues. The day I got there to talk they never told me they were not mechanics. They just wanted me to sign. They never shared the estimate with me before they started repairs. They started working on the car before I saw what was wrong. So they fixed a dent on what will become a paper weight. Stay away they just want to get paid and send u on your way. Not a fair shop.

It was our second time needing to bring our car in for body work and once again Carstar Spectrum Auto Cortlandt did not disappoint! Due to a Hit & Run side swipe while parked that caused so much damage that the car was not drive-able, we immediately brought it in for repair. Although the ownership had changed since our previous incident, Elias and his team still provided the same topnotch service we remembered. They once again worked directly with our insurance company and went out of their way to find all the parts needed. We drove out with a car that looked brand new! Thank you!

I initially spoke with Elias who was great. He wanted to see what he could do without having to cost alot. I had a ton of scratches on my driver side rear door I couldnt imagine how they got there. I dropped my vehicle off in the morning I had it back by the afternoon they did an excellent job buffing out the scratches without me having to spend a fortune on painting the door. My car looks like brand new I would highly recommend these people to anybody. Great work and great customer service.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the outstanding service provided by CARSTAR Spectrum Auto Courtland, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I called to report the accident to the final pickup of my car, they handled every step of the process with professionalism and efficiency. After my initial contact with the insurance company to report the accident, CARSTAR Spectrum Auto took over all communication with them, alleviating a significant amount of stress on my end. They also arranged for a rental car, ensuring that I had transportation while my vehicle was being repaired. Upon dropping off my car for repairs, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had coordinated with the rental car company to have a nice vehicle waiting for me. This attention to detail and proactive approach to customer service truly set them apart. Manager Elias is extremely knowledgeable and patient with the process, which makes you feel very comfortable. Throughout the repair process, the staff at CARSTAR Spectrum Auto Courtland remained in constant communication with me. Their willingness to go the extra mile for their customers was evident in every interaction. When I finally picked up my car, I was amazed at the quality of the repairs. The attention to detail was impeccable, and my car looked as good as new. In fact , they managed to complete the work ahead of schedule. I strongly recommend CARSTAR Spectrum Auto Courtland for your auto repair work. Their professionalism, courtesy, and exceptional workmanship make them a top choice for anyone in need of auto body repairs. They are a reliable and trustworthy auto body shop.
