Services
At Collex, auto body repair is all about serving the customer. Our most rewarding feeling is when all of our collision repairs and auto body services come together and we have made the entire experience easy and comfortable for you. Along with our attention to service is our relentless focus on efficiency.
Making sure the customer has a comfortable experience with Collex in all aspects of our auto body services. Many people in the industry use the phrase "pre-accident condition" to describe the way a vehicle should leave an auto body facility following repairs. In other words, the vehicle should look, ride and perform the same way it did before the damage took place.
Do not change a thing. Your service was extraordinary and surprising. What your 'norm' is, you don't find in this day and age. Excellent! I hope I never need you again, but if I or anyone I know needs your services - I would go out of my way to recommend Collex! I have nothing but praise for the service and friendly faces at Collex.
Our tagline, "a comfortable solution to an uncomfortable situation" speaks to our employees as well as our customers. If you are looking for a home and a team that cares about one another and our work, Collex might be a good opportunity for you. We offer above average compensation packages and are proud of our benefits.
If you are planning on going through your or the other person's insurance, you will need to call that company to begin the claims process and obtain a claim number. We have phone #'s for all the insurance companies in New Jersey and would be happy to help you contact the company. Once you have the claim number, contact us and we will handle the approval process for you.

Collex is without a doubt the best auto repair shop. The office employees are friendly and knowledgeable. They do top notch work. Two thumbs up!!
I visited again. I was the recipient of a hit and run. Dana, the lovely young lady in the front office was friendly and empathetic. Al was thorough and gave me a transparent estimate and the guys in the garage ALWAYS do a fantastic job. Collex has a lifelong customer. Thank you all.

I truly can't say enough about how awesome Collex is!! I just picked up my car and it looks brand new. Mike and Dana were wonderful to work with from scheduling the initial appointment to handing the keys back to me. I received text messages at every stage of the process including now, as I"m typing this review. Thank you Collex!!!!

I ended up here through my insurance after getting rear-ended...and here's the super wild part: Collex was incredible. Super clear communication the entire time, great service in arranging my rental at a local agency and to top it off, my car was actually finished a day early. They knew my insurance process and made it super easy to get going again. I hope you don't *need* them anytime soon, but if you do, this is a spectacular option.

Very impressed with the service and team at Collex.
Dynamic duo, Al and Jennifer, got me an estimate within a day, walked me through next steps, secured a rental, and kept me informed throughout the week. Most importantly, my car looks better than it did when it went in.
I would highly recommend taking your vehicle to Collex.

The staff here is amazing. I needed some repairs due to a car accident. Parts were hard to come by, but they kept in touch with me throughout the process. It's very well organized when you arrive their parking spots have a phone number to call to let them know you are there. They promptly come to meet you by your car and go over what is going to be done, how long it will take, etc. I had dealt with a Mike, who was really helpful and friendly. I dropped my car off with the expectation that they would have it for 4 days, they had it back in 3. I had the front bumper replaced, and when the car was

Someone backed up out of his driveway into my car. He replies "Well normally, a car isn't parked there". Well guess what MF, today there is (was). No apologies, he even had the wherewithal to say the damage "couldn't really be seen".
Came to Collex for my estimate and guess what, that unseen damage costs you round $1900 buddy. Collex was quick, gave a fair estimate, and they were very professional. The Husband has gotten his fenders & benders fixed here before and they did a thorough and superb job (keep reading if you want to find out the ending)

Brought my Cadillac into the shop based on many Middletown Residents recommendations. Having run over debris in the road the drivers side door had a deep 8" scratch, the front bumper scratched and the rear tire punctured.
From first call to pick up staff kept me informed. Car picked up on dAte promised and it looked brand new. Paint job is beautiful and perfectly matched. Brand new tire and rim puts the other 3 to shame. Plus they vacuumed interior and wiped down dust on dashboard.
Note: Another plus if you need a rental it is right up road from Enterprise Rental in Red Bank. Great

Collex's entire staff did an excellent job from start to finish. Even though my insurance company dragged out the process of waving my deductible for nearly six weeks, Collex kept me updated on the process and everyone there was efficient, knowledgeable, and pleasant. When it was time to have my car repaired, I scheduled an appointment, they set up my car rental, and my car was returned in less than two days. They did an excellent job on the repairs; in fact, they did such a good job cleaning the exterior and interior of my car, I thought I got into the wrong car. I would recommend Collex

Recently had my vehicle repaired here for a hit and run incident. I scheduled an appointment and received my quote by email within an hour, Awesome! Set up the repairs and was promised an exact date I would have the vehicle back and they met every date and cost promised. Car came back to me spotless and looking like new. Thank you Collex!

I have used Collex in the past and had good experiences till recently. My daughter had a collision and I told her to take the car to Collex for an estimate. The associate at Collex refused to do a documented estimate and said the repairs would cost around $4000. I recently received the estimate and it was less than $2000, repairs are underway and I will not be using Collex again. There is enough stress to deal with after an accident, this kind of apathetic service does not deserve to be rewarded with my business.

In June 2019, I was hit by a car that ran a stop sign. After losing control of the wheel, my car went across the center line of the road, through a fence, and into a local farm. After insurance was handled, Collex Auto Body fixed my car within two weeks. Since my car is a year old (2018 Hyundai Tucson), I was afraid it would never drive the same. However, it rides BETTER than it did prior to the accident. As the car had a total damage cost of over $13,000, one would not expect it to look brand new, but it does. Collex not only fixed the damage, but painted the car, and even got it washed prior

Highly recommend. Took my vehicle there after I was rear ended based on recommendation of my insurance company. Estimate was done in under 30mins and repair scheduled after insurance approved. Collex handled everything directly with insurance and car was finished a day early. The team was very helpful and made the process as painless as possible.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Just picked up my car and I can't wait to rate and write a comment about it. Very satisfied with the total experience and excellent quality of work and I'm not exaggerating. They took good care of everything for me and handed in my car on-time as they promised. Al helped me with the repair work and he is so awesome. Every thing went so fast and smooth. The staffs in the office are all informational, friendly and super nice. They have kept me informed of the whole process and I really appreciate that.

Just picked up my 2015 Kia Forte back from shop after a deer ran into the right front of vehicle. Damaged headlight and front valance and fender and door. They did a phenomenal job with everything from body alignment to matching the paint. We are very pleased with the repair and communication throughout the whole process and found a lifetime warranty on the repair as well as the paint job. If need be which I hope not, will use Collex Collision in the future and also definitely recommend this repair facility for your Autobody repairs. Thank you Collex Collision. Top shelf experience.

I don't know u guys how to define "complete " . But in my opinion, it means that done and wait customer comes to pick up. Collect told me my car would be done in 1/10. But when I came to, the front desk told me I still need wait because they still not finished. It's so bad. I made plan but now I need change all my plan because their "complete ".

Showed up with no appointment after a run-in with a deer. Asked for a ballpark estimate of how long it would take to complete the repairs. They said a month - which seemed like a long time until I thought about all the work involved. I got a call with an estimate later in the day when they told me it would be three weeks. The work was completed a day early and it looks great.
I've used them before and will use them again (hopefully I won't need to!).

Brought car there after an accident, and they did an excellent job with the repairs! They were quick to get me an appt., advised how long it would take (2 business days with pick up on the 3rd day) and called to give me updates with the process. My family has worked with them before, and always a great experience. They even walked around my car with me to review the repairs. Would definitely go back!

A few weeks after moving to NJ (and having a pretty terrible month), my car gets rear ended by a neighbor. Luckily for me, the honest person left her information and I found Collex Collision Experts to work on my car. I actually chose them based on Yelp reviews so it only made sense to go here. The ladies inside the office were friendly and efficient. My appointment was made, my rental car was set up through them and caused me little inconvenience the few days they had my car. The work was very good and the car looked good as new when I got it back. I hope to never need body work again but if I

I have had to visit Collex more times than I wish I have had to but this is the place to go! First of all, everybody is smiling and pleasant. They explain everything thoroughly from insurance to body work. The work they do is top notch and guaranteed. They are prompt and work is always done on time. This particular time it was done a day early! I would highly recommend.

A while back, my car was hit and the other driver was in a company truck. There was minor damage. The company did not have insurance on that truck, nor was the driver/employee insured.
I needed to get a couple of estimates since the company truck owner said he would pay out-of-pocket.
I went to 3 different body shops. The first 2 had estimates done within a half hour. Being that my husband and I used to work in the auto body industry, I went to Collex for an estimate knowing how their operations worked and how their jobs were scheduled compared to other shops.
