Reviews of State Auto Body
Tea Teacup Lover
This is a service nobody wants to have to use, but is very thankful for when the situation demands it.
We were in a car accident in September. Geico wanted to ship our car out of state to Melrose to have it inspected for damages. We declined. By state law we can have the car towed to any garage and have work done by a company of our choosing.
I called the large autobody shop that plays ads on the radio all day long. The one in Providence. However when they heard the age and type of the vehicle they told me it “would not be worth fixing”. I offered to email pictures and told them that due to cost of used cars going up Geico decided not to total. They never responded to my emailed photos and pretty much declined the job.
I then turned to Google reviews and found State Autobody on Valley Str. From the first interraction I was blown away! These people picked up the phone, returned calls, and presented very professionally. They came to take my car which was at the state tow lot.
Due to the car parts shortage, the repair took almost 8 weeks. During that time they kept in touch and gave me updates. They used all the new parts despite the insurance pushing for the used ones.
They did close to $7k of repairs for us and painted the damaged parts. The car was cleaned and detailed. They waived the deductable.
Honestly, this is the type of business we need in our state. I am so impressed and pleasantly surprised. As an immigrant woman with an accent I am often not taken seriously or I am talked down to by the men, especially mechanics. I was treated with respect and patience, which I deeply appreciated.
I hope to never need their services again but if I did, I would go back in a heartbeat. I am posting this review in December after a month of driving around just to make sure the car drives well before I leave the review. If you are reading it, it means that you were in an accident. I wish you the best of luck and don’t hesitate to use this business. Just be patient because these kinds of repairs take a long time, especially in the time od Covid. They will do their best to work with the insurance, keep you in the loop and get your car back in shape for you.

State Auto Body came through once again! I previously had them do work on my wife's Highlander to which they returned to us looking absolutely factory. Back in February my Tundra was damaged by a piece of equipment that was left in the road. After a long time of back and forth with Toyota they finally got the door panel in 5 months later! The work they did is perfect and I'm a real stickler for my vehicles and the paint. I look for all of the details! Not only did State Auto Body help me with my rental and keeping me updated, when they were done with the repair I unfortunately had Covid so I couldn't come up and get the truck. So what did Mario do? He delivered it to me and drove back my rental! Best customer service in the state!

Good price, fast service, friendly people, what more could you ask for? I worked with Steve on some damage to my bumper. He talked to me in the office and took great care of me. He ordered the parts and was always cost conscious. When I brought my car in, they had it back to me that morning.
The next time I need some work done on my car, I know exactly who I'm going to.
Gregory Todd
I had an accident backing into a steel girder which totaled the back window and back-side window of my Subaru Legacy wagon. I am very happy with the body work and the paint job done by State Auto Body to repair it! They are overloaded with work right now, so it took time, but they completed the job by the time they said they would, and did an excellent job. My thanks to Steve and to Mario!
Sierra Louise
I came in to have my front bumper repaired after hitting a fence. They squeezed me in and had the front bumper fixed and the paint matched within ONE WEEK! Everyone was super professional and kind. They walked me through everything that needed to be done step by step and showed me the cost breakdown. There were no surprises. I appreciated their timeliness, professionalism, and transparency.

State Auto Body helped me repair and replace my rear view mirror. The service was amazing and they were able to get my car back up and running in a matter of only two days!! Highly recommend State Auto for any and all repairs.
Phillip Darden
Wow! Where do I begin in this review? Well, I am writing this review not even 10 minutes since I've picked up my car. As you can see in the pics, I swiped my passenger side quarter panel on a pillar leading into my apartment garage. Very unfortunate situation -- I began researching auto body shops the same evening it happened. How fortunate am I to live walking distance from State Auto Body. With COVID going on, I was able to upload photos of the damage directly to the auto body shop, Steve called me about noon that same day and asked me if I was available to bring the car in. Everything was extremely smooth and it helped to keep my anxiety down about what had happened.
Steve and Mario were extremely helpful throughout the entire process from helping me through submitting the claim to insurance to getting my rental car set up. Steve knows all about customer experiences and customer service; he's all about the customer and their happiness. As you can see, my car is back like she never left....dare I say looking better than before the damages lol. But they were speedy and kept me updated as often as I requested.
If you are ever in an unfortunate situation like me and you're anywhere near State Auto Body, you're doing yourself a disservice going anywhere else honestly. Thanks again fellas!

Steve, Mario, and the technicians at State Auto Body are some of the best in the business. I brought my Subaru Legacy GT in for repairs after an accident because they are one of the only independent auto body shops certified by Subaru in Rhode Island. Steve and Mario made sure that the adjuster accounted for genuine OEM parts for my repairs and did a great job keeping me in the loop as to what was going on. If you have a Subaru, Honda, Acura, or anything else in need of repairs definitely give State a call, they'll make sure it's fixed right the first time.
Brian Irizarry
Mind blown! Mario, Steve and everyone at State Auto Body definitely know what there doing! If you need any body work or just having doubts where to go, you won't be disappointed! My looks as if it came off the dealership lot. Thank you for taking care of my car!
Veronica Grullon
Excellent customer service. A picture worth a 1,000 words. And these pictures speak of the before and after work that they did in my car. They also left my car super clean and it smelled like new. I am very satisfied with their service.
Kris Saint Laurent
State auto body is my go to shop when I need car repairs. I’ve used them twice already. First time I got coverage for a fender bender and the crew did an amazing job on my 2017 Hyundai. Second time I totally wrecked my rear view mirror and Steve (head guy in charge) gave me the cheapest deal for repairs since I was paying out of pocket. I’d recommend their services to anyone in need of repairs. They’re reliable, quick, and professional…also Steve is amazing at estimating costs by giving high quality service for a reasonable price.
Val Vaile
These guys are truly first class! Steve took such good care of getting my car fixed expeditiously and thoroughly, and he is truly one of the nicest men I've ever met. They do exceptional work and more than that, they are exceptional people. As I waited for my car, I overheard him talking about how he was trying to coordinate fronting the charge for a rental car for a customer who could not afford it! Honest, talented, kind, thorough guys, what more can you ask for!! First class customer service and body work!!
Hope Johnson
I drive a 25 year old Mercedes wagon. I needed my driver side mirror repaired after it was clipped off my car while parked. I called these guys on a Wednesday and they worked with MY SCHEDULE to help me out as soon as I had the time. They were willing to help me that day, but I wasn’t free until Friday when they fit me in as soon as I could. They helped me investigate the aftermarket replacement mirror I had purchased and ensured it would be a good fit and remain fully functional and installed and fixed my mirror in under thirty minutes. These guys are THE BEST. Thank you Steve and crew for your friendly, efficient and awesome service. Definitely will be back the next time something happens to my quarter-century old vehicle :)
Jasmin Chery
I came in just to get a quote on the damage done to my vehicle. I had a dent in my fender which also prevented me from opening my drivers side door. The AMAZING owner (I believe) took his time to hear me out and came outside to look at my car. He asked me if he try to fix the dent as much as he could so I could at least in my car from the drivers side. He drove it into the shop and almost fixed the dent completely! I am so grateful that he helped me and at NO COST! He was kind and truthful about the quote and gave me helpful advice (since I asked him for it!) If anything else happens to my car, I will definitely bring it here!
Heather Weinberg
Huge shout out to State Auto Body in Providence. Our daughter was driving back to campus when she was hit by another driver. We had the car towed to State Auto Body. Steve and his crew repaired the car to perfection, it was even cleaned!! He also arranged to have our rental car picked up at his shop, saving us the trouble.
Jeff Baird
State Auto Body is awesome. I had a minor fender issue that needed to be repaired. I first went to a large local dealers collision center and in typical dealer fashion they were just rude and their timelines were absurd. I understand things are backed up with COVID but they told me 4 weeks before I could come in and then another 4-8 weeks for it to be fixed for a simple bumper repair.
I live right down the road from State Auto Body so I called them to see what the process would be like, right from the start they were super friendly and had me come in that same day. You can tell right away that Steve really cares about his customers and his businesses reputation and it shows in their glowing reviews.
He ordered my parts same day(OEM-not after market) and called me as soon as he knew when they would be in so I could drop off my car and have it all fixed as quickly as possible. After years of dealing with dealerships who never provide updates and take forever to complete anything Steve has been a breath of fresh air and honestly seems like a great guy.
Even though I haven't even had my car fixed there yet, I already know its going to come out perfect.
Paul Camara
The guys at State Auto Body do impeccable work. My car was recently side-swiped and it needed repair. Steve Paiva at State Auto Body took my call right away, walked me through the process both at State and with the insurance company (which was a bear and which Steve handled very professionally), and got the repair done as quickly as possible. He also arranged for a car rental company to meet me at State and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. My BMW is in perfect condition. State Auto Body does A-1 work and I highly recommend them.
Badiallo Sidibe
I went in October 2021 due to my car being backed into and as a result knocked out my driver side review mirror and dented my front door and causing it to make a horrible sound every time I opened it. One of the mechanics, Steve, was so friendly and personable! The process was so smooth and easy. He gave me an amazing price for the body work job and was able to finish it within the day! I highly recommend this service for ANYONE!! I’ve been to many body mechanic places in the past, but this was by far the best and honest place I’ve been to yet.
Caitlin Donnelly
Theres nothing more stressful than getting into a car accident but the amazing guys at state auto body not only helped me through the whole process with ease, fixed my car and detailed every inch making it look better than before the accident but they did it with such professionalism and kindness that I would send anyone and everyone to them. Since September i have referred many people to them and everyone has come back with the highest compliments. State auto is by far the best in the business and treats everyone like family.
Alex Larrimore
State Auto Body took care of my car after a collision and they were extremely helpful and communicative. They set me up with a rental right at the shop and took care of everything for me. I got my car back in a reasonable amount of time and it looked even better than before my accident! I would highly recommend these guys.
Jessica Cruz
I needed my car to be looked at and they took me in right away and fixed the problem :) They are very reasonable , understanding and affordable. I will definitely recommend anyone to come here. If you need any work done to your car ask for Steve ‘ he is amazing and so nice.
Carly DiBiasio
My car was repaired to brand new! They did a great job fixing the damage as well as cleaning/detailing it to look spotless. Mario is very friendly, professional and seems to genuinely care about the customers. I would hands down go back if I ever needed anything further. Thank you State Auto Body!
Tessa McArdle
Really happy with the service I got from State Auto Body. Steve took the time to answer all of my questions and to explain the estimate in detail before I had even decided to work with them. I got very honest and helpful advice and felt taken care of. The body work looks great and they even gave the interior a significant deep clean. Above and beyond, confidently recommend.
Steve Mason
I have not only brought all my family’s cars to State Auto Body, but have recommended them to many friends. They are honest and thoughtful and always willing to talk out any issues you have. Auto body repair ain’t your fathers tech and the new tech is constantly changing, State Auto Body and Steve Paiva strive to keep ahead of that curve. Great people.

Mario and Steve again went all out to help me and repair my Ford Escape. Their work is absolutely top notch, they do not cut corners and are sincere about making sure you are happy with their work.
My vehicle looks fantastic once again. I am so glad I was referred to them several years ago.
Thanks again Mario and Steve.
Thank you Steve and Mario at State Auto Body. You both went above and beyond to make my vehicle like new again, in fact it looks better than it did when I bought it a year ago. They arranged for the rental agent to meet me at their facility and handled all the insurance paperwork and appraisal work and even had the vehicle detailed after it was finished. Since I was away when it was ready for delivery, they arranged to have it dropped off at my house. I highly recommend their work and am impressed with their attention to detail and great communication throughout the repair process.
Jessica Runquist
Great experience with State Auto Body! Fantastic repair and a pleasure to work with. They communicated seamlessly with my car insurance and took care of everything. We found a small scratch that happened after the repair that was immediately fixed with the car ready for pick up the next morning. Could not be happier with the quality of work and will definitely use them in the future for all my repair needs!
Connie F
I had great experience with State Auto Body. Their customer service is amazing. Steve was especially great and answered all my questions and made sure that my car would be in good hands. They fixed a fender dent and passenger side door scratch from a car accident and it looks brand new now! They are very good at trying to accommodate any situation (such as dropping my car at work so I didn't have to uber to the body shop). I'm confident in going to them again if I need any other body fix-up.
Joshua Bourgault
These guys are the real deal. Mario and Steve were extremely polite and helpful when I came in to have my car assessed after a minor front end collision. I found them on google and quickly noticed their extremely high number of 5 star customer reviews compared to other body shops. To say I was pleased was an understatement. State Auto Body went above and beyond with their service and returned my car in better condition than it was before the collision. They absolutely live up to their 5 star review count. I would definitely recommend them to a friend or family member or anyone looking for a top notch body repair shop. You will be satisfied, guaranteed.
Molly McBride
I had an excellent experience with State Auto Body, who was recommended to me by Trish at Wayne's Service (I would similarly highly recommend Wayne's as a mechanic and from my experience there trusted Trish's advice very much). State Auto Body was extremely helpful and understanding both over the phone and in person for guiding me through navigating my insurer and the other driver's insurer, as well as the car rental, when my car was rear ended. This was a new and intimidating experience for me but they guided me through it. They also called up Enterprise for me and got me a rental right away (when I had initially just brought my car by for a look) so I could leave it then and there instead of having to make another trip. They made things easy for me by letting me leave the rental with them when I was ready to pick up my car, which they took care of (rather than needing to drop it at Enterprise and then get shuttled there). I did not even have to deal with the insurance appraisers because they just looked at the car on-site at State Auto and communicated directly with the people there. My body work took longer than estimated due to storms, difficult-to-find parts, and a mistake on the case of a company they ordered a new wheel from, and State Auto covered the car rental beyond what my insurance covered for the extra time it was in the shop. My car looks awesome after the work (which I know was difficult - they even had to paint my new wheel since they could not find the discontinued after-market wheel in the same color I had purchased it). Finally, they gave my car an immaculate cleaning and detailing and it has not looked so good since it was new. The only thing that could have been better was that because my car took longer than expected, I kept having to check in with them about the new anticipated done date so I could sort of plan my schedule for going to pick it up - they always were speedy to reply but could have been a bit more proactive about reaching out to me. That being said, I know a lot was up in the air on their end (they weren't sure when exactly it would be done, waiting on parts, etc.). Thank you State Auto Body! I highly recommend their services and would use them again in a heartbeat if god forbid I need to (though fingers crossed I will not).
Suzanne Lavoie
Mario and the guys at State Auto Body did a great job making our truck look new again! They removed several minor dings and two large dents — all without having to repaint whole sections. They also buffed out scratches, and replaced a side-view mirror. The repairs look great. Mario was easy to work with, and they finished when they said they would. I’m happy to recommend State Auto Body.
Mike Montag
A wonderful experience! Steve and his crew did a fantastic job. My car has not looked so good since the first day I purchased it. I highly recommend state auto body to anybody. They’re honest and they will do the job correctly and they will take care of their customers.
Cait LeQuire
I would HIGHLY recommend State Auto Body! Steve and Mario both went out of their way to help me. The quality of customer service was a huge bonus to the exceptional quality of work done on my car as well. My car looked perfect, and they detailed the inside before handing it over. All my pestering with questions and phone calls were quickly answered or returned throughout the process. I was incredible pleased with my experience with State Auto Body. They made my first car accident/fender-bender much easier to deal with than I ever thought. Hopefully I won't be seeing them soon... but it's nice to know that good people are out there should you find yourself in that situation.

I have worked with Steve and Mario three times now at State Auto
Body and each time they have gone above and beyond with both the auto body work their shop has done and their customer service. Each time I leave feeling like I 100% understand what is being done to my car, I feel very comfortable asking clarifying questions and have confidence advocating for myself with the knowledge they have passed on to me; they respect the fact that I am on a tight budget and I never feel like I am Going to get sucked into a big unexpected bill. I trust them and that is rare!! Excellent customer service, excellent work. Thank you all at State Auto Body! Grateful to be one of your customers!
Bill Maida
I can’t say enough about State Auto Body. After a collision on 195, we were referred by friends. My car was returned to me looking brand new and in a timely manor. The employees are friendly and excellent at their craft. Would highly recommend for your automotive needs!
Edwin torres
I’d like to tip my hat to Mario and the State Auto Body crew for not only giving us great service but for also doing “the right thing”.
My daughter had her vehicle serviced there and as they were repairing her Honda for different issues they notice that a certain repair that we authorized wasn’t necessary so they informed which probably wouldn’t happened at another repair shop. And that indicates to me that they are in the business of making new customers and retaining them. They also offer complimentary shuttle service which is a Godsend since my daughter closest relative lives two hours away.
Once again, a big Thank You to Mario and his team which I def recommend and I’m not hesitant in rating them 5 stars.
Chaipel Leinster
I recently brought my 2014 Volkswagen Passat to State Auto Body to repair extensive hail damage. The owners, Steve and Mario, and their team provided exceptional service and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. There were over 450 dents in my car and they were able to restore it to its original condition--in fact it looks brand new! Steve and Mario went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly--explaining the repairs needed and how the work would be done, arranging for a rental car and communicating updates along the way. I appreciate the time and care they took to do the job right--perfect from start to finish. I highly recommend State Auto Body.
Kristen Kolenz
I brought in my Honda Fit when a piece came loose and was dragging on the road. I had my car back hours later - exactly when it was promised to me. The service was kind, professional, affordable, and very fast. I won’t hesitate to bring my fit back for anything I might need in the future!
Yum Yushi
State Autobody was an absolute dream to work with. Normally I'd say " I can't wait to go back! ", but in the case of auto accidents I really don't want to go back! However, the next time my car is damaged I will gladly go and visit Mario and Steve again.
My car looked as good as it did when it rolled out of the show room. Highly recommended!
peter reid
My 2017 Honda Accord Coupe was over sprayed and needed paint. My usual go to, Wayne's Service in Providence, recommended Steve at State. Following Trish's recommendation, always. I phoned Steve and began a wonderful experience. After Steve inspected my car, he ran the numbers. He knew I was paying so he explained the cost in detail. I had explained this 2017 was the last Accord Coupe, I had three and wanted to keep it.
The paint job was WONDERFUL! Thank you Steve and State crew! Thank you Trish! Quality product without any doubt! Truly professional work. I will be a returning customer if and when the need arises.
Katherine Chu
UPDATE 2021 -- Once again needed a bit of work done and cannot recommend State Auto Body enough.
As a woman I sometimes feel really out of place in car repair/auto body/other environments...because...well, I don't know much about cars, and I feel gullible and like folks might take advantage - ladies, you know what I am saying. In fact, I recently stopped by one of the large shops in PVD and had a terrible experience, will never go back there ever. Skip the other places and trust me, go to State Auto Body!
Steve and Mario and their team are super professional and absolutely patient and speak to me like I am a person. I recommends this place to my mother and my friends, because they do great work, treat everyone with respect, and are also nice people. Thank you guys!
2020 - Steve was so lovely to work with. Upfront, professional, and explained things in terms I understood - and above all, was kind. That means a lot to me when I'm trying to figure car stuff out. Thank you so much for your work - I will be back and will recommend your business to others!
Sean Neylon
Fingers crossed I don’t have to bring the car in again for an accident, but Steve and Mario did an excellent job fixing my car and working with my insurance to make sure there were no hiccups along the way. After the work was complete, they made my car look like new again. I highly recommend them and thank them for taking care of my car so well!
John B. N.
My family and I have always used state auto body from as far back as I can remember (over 20 years) Mario, Steve and their staff truly go beyond the meaning of quality service. I brought my car in for auto body repair after many, many accidents, and from start to finish the process is easy and streamlined. Besides the excellent customer service, my car looks as good as new! The shop kept me updated on their progress with text/calls/voicemails etc. Best of all they took care of all communication with my insurance company. No hassle with my rental car it was there upon my arrival. I cannot say enough good things about Mario and Steve it is good to know your in good hands with them! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone in need of auto body service. Go see Mario and Steve !
Beth Eklund
Fantastic experience all around. Mario and the team at State Auto Body did a great job with my car autobody repair needs and they communicated with me the entire time. Everything was seamless, from the drop off to pick up. I would not hesitate to use State Auto Body in the future!
Riley McCaskill
Had to get the bottom of our bottom of our bumper fixed after we came down on a curb the day before a long drive home. Arrived as they were opening and we were out before the hour was finished, plus they fixed on our tire pressure. Great and friendly service, highly recommend!
John Hill
I had some front end damage to my BMW. State Auto Body did an amazing job fixing it. Fair prices, hard and fast work, professional service and a very quick turnaround. Could not ask for a better experience. I highly recommend this place. I have referred family and friends and will continue too. Thanks again for the great work during these trying times!!!
Mike Chaves
They did an excellent job on my car. Very professional, courteous and conscientious. I am more than pleased with the service and it was done on time as promised. If I ever need more body work done in the future I will not hesitate to use State Auto Body.
Hannah Kazal
Steve and Mario are superhumans. They are honest, hard-working and smart guys who are so talented at what they do and always go above and beyond. I have brought my Honda to State Auto Body twice now for body work after being rear-ended and hit while parked on the street. Steve has also helped me navigate my car warranty, honda recalls, and saved me thousands of dollars making calls/doing research on my behalf. After my collisions, they went back and forth with the insurance companies, rarely getting me involved, and were overwhelmingly supportive and communicated regularly with me. I tell everyone I know about State Auto Body because I have never encountered better service and care for both my vehicle and myself! My honda looked better than when I first purchased it BOTH times they did work on it! Also- Steve and Mario always DEEP clean the interior of your car, which is a wonderful surprise each time! These guys are great- you will be blown away by the quality of their work. Thanks State Auto Body!
Shaneis Algoo
Had my vehicle repaired twice at State Auto Body. Hassle free, reliable and exceptional work! They have implemented a system where you receive updates about your vehicle repairs with pictures via email and text so you are never in suspense. Steve & Mario always go above and beyond to make sure their customers are satisfied! Well experienced in their field of work and always willing to work with you whereas your experience is always worry free! They always exceed my expectations; Thank you very much Steve and Mario!
Melissa Richard
State auto body repaired our car after an accident. From the moment they received the car until pick up, they kept us informed on the status of the repair. As promised, the car was ready when they said. The entire process was seamless and our car looks brand new! Thanks Steve and staff, we will definitely be back for any auto body needs. Great job!
Christopher Hoyt
The guys at State Auto Body replaced and repaired the bumper and quarter panel of my 2007 Honda Element. I knew from when I entered the office when I was dropping off the vehicle that these guys were meticulous and professional because the office was immaculate. I really appreciated Mario's pleasant and direct approach. I truly believed he cared about the work and that he would take care of me. The body work took a little longer than estimated and he was always forthcoming with the information. The day to pick up the car it was cleaned and detailed like I had just purchased the vehicle. True professionals and I would recommend!
S P
I've gone to state auto body on a couple different occasions- each time the customer service is absolutely great, Mario and Steve have been so kind, everthing was easy and taken care of. I've been so happy with their work. So much that I've even recommended them to the folks that hit my car!
You won't be disappointed !!!
Michele Stirrat
This is the fourth time I have brought a car to State Auto Body. Mario and Steve are very knowledgeable, courteous and always available when you have a question or concern. Their level of professionalism is outstanding and they get the work done in a timely fashion. My cars have always looked impeccable when finished and I would recommend them to anyone.
Christy Querceto
What service! I have dealt with numerous auto body shops (unfortunately) and have never, ever received quality or service like I did from State Auto Body. As a young woman, it has always been a struggle to know who I can trust when it comes to cars. Owner, Steve, took care of everything from start to finish and even helped when the other driver's insurance company gave me a difficult time. He coordinated a rental that was sitting there and waiting for me when I dropped my car off. It was effortless (which was a welcomed relief after the stress of an accident). He treated me like family, and I never felt uneasy or unsure if I could trust him. My car is immaculately detailed, and looks better than when I brought it in. Not one sign that there was ever damage to repair! I will never bring my car to another body shop. I would recommend them to anyone I know. Thank you Steve and State Auto Body!
Paula Roux
As always, owners Steve and Mario and staff provided exceptional customer service and professional, detailed repairs to my car. My car was rear-ended TWICE in a matter of 2 1/2 weeks, but Steve was knowledgeable and handled the insurance companies and car rental issues that arose with ease. My 2018 Mazda was repaired back to its flawless finish and they left my car througly clean.
Looking for a ethical, personable, professional autobody shop? Look no further. Paula 😎 🚘❤

State Auto was amazing! I did significant damage to to the front quarter panel, bumper and wheel of my brand new SUV. State Auto made arrangements to tow my car; obtain a rental; and, take care of the damage. It took a little bit of time (because it was a challenge to get the new parts), BUT... State Auto and their staff made sure they did the most professional job without cutting any corners. My car was returned to me just like new - just like the day I drive it off the dealership lot. Thank you Steve, Mario and staff. You are a class operation! I would highly recommend you!
christina sanson
I took my Jeep here recently to have some bodywork done and I am very particular when it comes to my baby! I couldn't have asked for a better job done, they went above and beyond with the work they did and it cost me a lot less than it could have at another mechanic. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would, because I am very impressed with how quick and professional they were! Would highly recommend!!!

State Auto Body was extremely professional and provided a great quality of work on my VW GTI. I got T-boned and Steve and Mario and his team restored my vehicle to factory condition. It’s almost like the accident never even happened. They were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process.

State Auto Body was a pleasure to work with. They have outstanding customer service and were always friendly and helpful when I spoke with them. The work done was great and done in a timely manner. I plan to go there for any future car troubles and would definitely recommend them to a friend!

About three weeks ago I was referred to State Auto Body. When I first contacted Steve he immediately took over dealing with the insurance company on my behalf because they were refusing to give me a rental even with the police report stating it’s the other drivers fault. I got my rental and never had to deal with the insurance company or adjuster. When I picked up my car is was immaculate! They went above and beyond with service and expectations I had going there. I will never take my car anywhere else from here on out!
Barbara Bartlett
I am on cloud 9 to have my car back!! State Auto Body turned my car back to the same Accord I drove off the lot with. After the accident, I felt so sick to my stomach as I only had my brand new car for 3 days. Steve at State Auto Body was very professional and took matters into his own hands; from dealing with the insurance to the car rental. He kept me informed every step of the way. The car looks like it was never involved in an accident! You all did a FANTASTIC job and I can never thank you enough! You can guarantee I will recommend STATE AUTO BODY to everyone I know! JOB WELL DONE!! Thank you, again!!
Ian Hayes
I had to bring my car in after shingles fell on and scraping up most of my car. Steve and Mario took great care of me during the whole process! When I went to drop off my car at State Auto Body they had already setup my rental through Enterprise for me.
When I got the car back it looked brand new... I was only expecting the new panels and windshield to be replaced but they had cleaned the whole inside of my car and it looked and smelled like a new car. God forbid anything happens to my car again, I'll definitely use State Auto Body again!
Gregory Holt
One of our cars was hit, damaged pretty good. We only had it for three months, hit & run. Called State Auto Body and everything fell in place. From the 1st phone call to the end, exceptional service, the attention to detail was amazing. When we picked up the car it looked like the car we picked up three months ago. I would recommend State Auto Body to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
Call Steve & Mario if you want the attention you deserve.

I have lived in RI for 30 years and have used a few different Auto Body Shops over the course of that time. I have NEVER experienced the kind of service that I received from State Auto Body. They were so helpful, friendly, and accommodating from my first phone call until the day I picked my car up. They acted like it was a privilege to serve me as their customer. They even made all the arrangements for my rental car, which was waiting for me when I dropped my car off.The quality of their work was outstanding. I looked at my car and there was no trace that it had ever been hit. It looked brand new! If you are ever in need of auto body service - search no more! These folks are the ones you want to hand your vehicle over to with full confidence that you will be getting the best possible service at the best possible price!

I would absolutely recommend state auto body. They were efficient in taking my car in, getting me a rental, and dealing with all of the time consuming aspects of insurance. I live in Cape cod and after picking my car up in Providence, I noticed my trunk was still not closing correctly. Steve was friendly and understanding about the whole thing. He ordered new parts and drove all the way out to Cape cod to adjust and replace the parts on my trunk to perfection. Being in an accident is a very unfortunate thing to happen but Steve and his crew were great to work with.

Never fun getting into an accident, especially during a worldwide pandemic. The team at State Auto Body made the entire process a breeze, which was certainly helpful during this crazy time. Not only was the car repaired quickly, but it looks better than the day I bought it! Easy decision if you’re looking for the perfect auto body shop.
Rebecca Poole
Amazing job by Steve P and the crew at State Auto Body! They didn't miss a detail! Plus, their shop is so clean and comfortable. Its awful to be involved in an accident, but State Auto Body made the process of my auto body repairs painless and smooth. After the body work was done they cleaned it up so nicely... I feel like I'm driving a new car again! Thanks, guys... what could've been a headache, was actually a pleasant experience.
Jay Moore
Mario and his team at State Auto Body are second to none. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of service I received. It was completely hassle free and my car looks amazing!!! I feel guilty bringing it to my dirty job again. If your looking for quality,friendly,professional service I recommend Mario and the State Auto Body Crew!!!
Jamie Palamkunnel
I was involved in a light hit and run a few weeks back and needed a section of my car buffed. The manager brought in one of his guys and not only buffed the area I pointed out but went around my car to clear up other areas! When it was time to pay he told me not to worry about it!
Manager was very polite and professional! Definitely would go back!
Margaret Stoermer
After trying to remove two white marks with a kitchen sponge from my brother’s borrowed car; I quickly realized that I was scratching the paint and ruining the finish. I found State Auto Body on the internet and after talking to Steve, I no longer felt panicked. I was able to bring my brother’s car in and within 30 minutes, the scratches were buffed and touched up. The car looked beautiful again. Thank you Steve & Mario for the great service.
Sarah Scaramella
I cannot say enough about the quality of work that State Auto Body provides. I have a special edition Range Rover and am very picky about my car. (which is black and black shows everything) Steve Paiva (one of the main people there) has taken scratches out of my car & done work when I backed up into a wall.
My car looks better than before I had any accident. Steve always kept me up to date on the timing of the repairs, dealt directly with my insurance company and even got my car detailed before returning it to me.
I refer everyone to State Auto. The pricing is fair...the people are honest..and I never have to worry about a thing. Great to have a local business like this in Providence.
Ryan Matthews
Car was not drivable and insurance took about 2 weeks to come out to them and they didn't complain or charge for the extra long wait. Explained what was going on to me, priced out tires for me and easy people to talk to. Brought back car because of a concerning noise and they had me come next day no charge done in under an hour. Overall just great guys who I thought prices were more then fair.
Nicole Whitfield
I live an actual minute away from this place.
I called up Steve because I needed my fog lights replaced.
I’ve been having such busy schedule and the shop fit me in right during their busy day as well but I needed it done lol !
They were super helpful and super convenient .
I’m super grateful.

Dropped my car off to repair a driver side fender damage. When I went to pick up my car it was in brand new condition. I could not tell a difference and they did awesome job. The people in the office are excellent listeners and go above and beyond meeting customer expectations. I will come back to these guys for any auto body repair and I highly recommend to take your car there.
Brett Crowell
I got rear-ended and it was the worst possible time. I had a newborn at home and I didn’t know what I was going to do. A trusted friend said that they knew a guy. I never thought being in a car accident could ever be stress free or positive but that was my experience. They took care of everything with insurance and even down to the rental car company waiting for me when I dropped off my car and picking it up. The best part was, when I picked up my car telling them “I thought I just needed a new bumper and not a whole new car.” They hadn’t just fixed my bumper, they had it spotless inside and out. My car looked brand new and I am definitely glad that someone told me about State Auto Body. I hope that my review will help others find this amazing place. I can’t even explain how they took an overwhelming time in life and made everything work out in such a positive way.
Tyler Gadoury
Being new to the providence area, I didn't know any auto body shops. After some research, I found that State Auto Body had awesome reviews. I recently brought my 2016 Lincoln MKZ in after my girlfriend gauged the front passenger's side bumper (due to collision with a stone pillar). I was worried that any repair would not match my car color since I had the white 3 coat paint. After a few days, I picked the car up and couldn't even tell the difference -- the car was spotless, brand new. Steve and Mario are world class and I would recommend this shop to anyone. Will certainly be using them for any future needs and you should too!!
john phillips
I recently had a truck repaired at State Auto Body and was very pleased with the experience. They ordered the parts before I dropped off the truck to minimize our down time. They did an excellent repair job with original manufacturer parts. They even did a few extra repairs that I didn't have to pay for! I'm more than satisfied with their company!
Xavi CFC
Awesome customer service. Made sure my rear bumper was in safe and secure. They cleaned my car for me both inside and out. Made sure the paint job was done correctly. I would recommend this autobody shop to anybody. If you think of getting it cheap dont waste your time. Steve is fair with pricing and makes sure the job gets done.
Sarah Graumann
Through no fault of my own, I've had two cars with significant body damage in 16 months - a Nissan Sentra and a BMW 328i x-Drive. I am grateful to have had State Auto Body guiding me through the upheaval and uncertainty following an accident; they repaired both cars to perfection! Each time the insurance adjuster took forever to visit the shop. Even so, State Auto Body was patient and gracious about it. They arranged my rental cars and managed everything with the insurance company, too. I highly recommend this auto body shop!
Caroline Balling
Steve and all of his employees are exceptionally professional, thoughtful, and skilled. Their work turned around what could (and honestly should!) have been a very stressful situation. It was clear that their priorities lie in customer service and quality care, and not in turning the highest profit. I highly recommend them to anyone with auto body needs. Thank you State Auto Body!
Michael Buckley
These guys made it extremely easy to bring my car in, get a rental, and pick it up when finished. It is obvious they know what they are doing. They helped me deal with the insurance companies too, which to me was a little confusing and intimidating. They took care of everything! I feel like family when I'm in there. Highly recommend!!
Also, I was an auto detailer for years, and the quality of the job they did was perfection. I was sideswiped on the drivers side front and back doors. Hit and run, too. No note left behind. The car is smooth as silk now, like the day I bought it.
They asked me to give a review and I said, heck yeah I will!!
Jeremy Ferreira
The team at State Auto Body did a great job with my car. I don't know very much about cars but Mr. Paiva was very informative. Steve had even given me step by step instructions to attempt to take on the problem myself. They also are very efficient with getting parts delivered to you. Overall the experience was great.
Lori Correia
State Auto Body did an awesome job repairing my CRV!! Not only that, the inside and outside were cleaned and even the tires were shining when it was done. It looks brand new!! Thank you Mario for doing such a great job.
I will never take it anywhere else for repairs.
John Pennine
I've been bringing my cars to State Auto Body for the past 25 years. Mario and his staff has always taken care of me with great service and excellent workmanship. My vehicle always left there in showroom condition. You guys are the best!
Jake Camara
We've been taking our cars to State Auto Body for over 10 years. The team there has always done work that has surpassed our expectations. They've gone above and beyond, providing the assistance we needed immediately after an accident, to efficient and courteous communication throughout the course of and completion of the job. We highly recommend them for any of your auto body needs.
Rishi Singh
I came in needing a deep scratch fixed, and after reviewing the options, Steve came with the best solution to fit within my budget! The entire time he was honest, upfront, and line itemed every potential charge in the estimate, so there was nothing vague. He got me in and out within an hour (minor work). Thanks for running a great shop Steve! Hope I won’t need to visit again, but if I do, State Auto Body will be the first place I go
Courtney Stevens
The team at State Auto Body provided me with excellent customer service and went above and beyond to help me when I was experiencing a car related emergency. On my way to work at the VA hospital, a noise from my car that had been increasing in volume grew louder and more concerning. I googled closest mechanic shop near me and had the great fortune of that shop being State Auto Body. I called over to the shop and the team helped me to arrange a same day car drop off and they were able to accommodate me within the very narrow window I had available to leave work. After dropping off my car, a staff member gave me a ride back to the VA. They were able to identity and fix the problem very quickly, and because it was clear that the issue was due to a previous mechanics carelessness (not properly screwing down the lug nuts when the snow tires were put on), the State Auto Body team did not charge me for the service. The team also drove my car back up to the VA so that I was safe and had no delays in terms of getting home by close of business. I am truly grateful for their generosity and efficiency! (This feedback is overdue - my apologies to the State Auto Body team! You guys were awesome, thank you again!) 10/10 highly recommend!
Michelle de Jesus
Awesome courteous service, car looks great. They even cleaned my car inside and out. (No easy task!) They go above and beyond for their customers. Would highly recommend State Auto Body to anyone needing body work on their vehicle.
Jennifer
Great place to bring your car. Repairs took about a month. Got into a small fender bender with my 13 Honda Accord. Honest and hard working company. Worked with Mario who was very knowledgeable. He knew all the info about insurace claims and how everything works. Helped me get the rental car as well. After the repairs my car was beautiful. Picked up the car and found they got it fully detailed in and out. Even with my deductable i didnt have to pay anything which is amazing. Facility is really nice inside, plus there Honda certified as well haveing a full mechanic shop. Will definetly be bringing my car back here in the future. Thank you Mario. Im all about reviews when researching places and I highly highly recommend this place.
Chris Cipolla
After my accident , I went to see Steve down at State Auto Body. A very positive experience all around ! Steve set expectations up front and they delivered on everything , including quality and attention to detail , as well as promptness. Very reassuring and reliable company - to say the least!! I would recommend them to anybody !! And very nice guys on top of it all!
Tanya Rogers
My family and I have been taking our cars to Mario at State Auto Body for years. Mario is extremely professional, patient, helpful, easy to work with and kind. I have always been 100% satisfied with my car after Mario and his crew have fixed it up. I recommend State Auto Body 100%.
Betty E
I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of work and the level of customer service provided by State Auto Body. They turned what could have been a messy, ugly car accident experience into a smooth, easily manageable transaction. My van looks brand new again! I would most definitely recommend them to anyone in need of auto body repair.
Gary Nahabedian
I would like to thank Steve, Mario and the staff at State Auto Body for the great job they did for us on one of our vehicles that needed repair. We were very impressed with how the car looked when we picked it up. Also as important, Mario and Steve made us feel welcome when we walked through the door. There is no doubt that State Auto Body is committed to doing the job the right way and at a fair price.

I would like to thank eveyone at State Auto Body who was invovled the repair of my 2015 Subaru Legacy. From the moment I dropped it off I had a rental car waiting for me to use during the repair process. The whole time it was being repaired I was kept informed on the repair. They were able to work with the insurance company to guarantee my satifation. When I picked it up for delivery I was amazed how beautiful it looked inside and out. Just like brand new! Thank you Steve Paiva and State Auto Body for a job well done!!!
Mike Collington
Had my car towed to the shop because of a collision and it was the best decision possible. Everyone there was very friendly, honest and they took the time to help me out with all aspects of my cars damage when I needed it. I will definitely be using their business in the future if needed and recommending them to anyone I know who needs it as well. Without a doubt five star service all around.
Natalie Janey
I needed my car fixed after an accident, this was the first time calling State Autobody. I spoke to Steve and he, omg...I wish I can go to him for EVERYTHING for my car because he was very informative and honest about the process. He was very kind, helpful, sweet, went above and beyond, and just made me feel at ease with the situation. I thank him so much for his help and whenever I need any bodywork done, I will be calling State Autobody.
Kevin Murillo
Having recently moved to the area I didn’t know what to expect from the large list of auto shops I got from google; however I’m thankful I chose State Auto Body. My entire experience with the team has been positive from the moment I called to ask for an estimate. They made the process easy and turned a stressful situation into a surprisingly effortless one with how accommodating they were. Thank you to Mario and the team!!
Michael Welch
Great service and very professional. I've been to State Auto Body twice and they've been super helpful! Totally fixed my car in under an hour! My go-to recommendation for any friend with car trouble.
Gerrit Curti
Was in the middle of a minor pileup, and at first glance, with the damage to the rear, the front, and the frame, I thought my car had been totaled.
Steve handled nearly all the dealings with my insurance company, and entirely restored the car to its former glory - looking at the car now, you'd never know it had been in any kind of accident.
Great work and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.
Suzanne Barksdale
Mario and Steve were tremendously helpful in getting my damaged car back in beautiful condition. Mario worked with Amica to get everything covered, and arranged a rental car that was within my insurance allowance. They did a great job with the body work, and in addition I got my car back clean inside and out! Highly recommended.
Bart Petillo
Great job and wonderful experience!
I live in NJ and have a son who attends JWU. I was in need of an auto body shop who could fix my son’s Jeep. I first turned to the internet and searched for auto body shops in Providence, RI and then I asked other JWU parents for referrals. The same name “State Auto Body” came up each time. I made the decision to call State Auto Body and I spoke to Mario. He was so helpful and made me feel very comfortable. He told me to have my son bring his Jeep in the next day. He was quick in providing me with an estimate, he coordinated the appointment with the adjuster from our insurance company, took care of everything with the insurance company, and provided me with timely updates. My son said that his Jeep looked better than the first day he got it. I highly recommend Mario and State Auto Body for your car care needs as they provide superior customer service and do excellent work.
Luana Pacheco
State Auto Body did an outstanding job. I have never worked with a more professional group. I was kept informed of the progress during the repair. I would highly recommend them for any repair. Thank you Steve and Mario for exceptional work. You are truly gifted!
Robert Penney
The quality of work--and customer experience at State is excellent. Steve's use of technology towards keeping clients appraised of the shop's progress blew me away; the accountability and transparency come as a result of their confidence in themselves. Highly, highly recommend State Auto Body!
Michael Resendes
I recently had my 2011 Ford Explorer repaired and my experience was wonderful. I was treated with respect and received the attention I was looking for. They helped me with the claim process and putting me in a rental. I received my truck back on time and in fantastic condition. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Josh P
This place is great, and the other glowing reviews are well earned. I brought in an older car with a broken door handle. They put the handle assembly back into place and told me that I could just order a handle online and put it in myself for a couple bucks-- for free. I got the part, but could not put it in myself, so I brought it by and they installed that for free too. Nice to be able to go to a body shop with the confidence that you won't be upsold on unnecessary repairs or labor.
David Alves
Leave your worries at the door. Steve and his team at State Auto deliver a high quality experience. High quality work, integrity and the "little extras" that mean a lot. Can't say enough about this shop. No other option for my body work, State Auto is it.
Jim Queenan
Dent in the fender. I recently made an insurance claim, so I wanted to pay myself.
My friend recommended this place.
They won't do a half ass repair, if you want that, grab a can of spray paint and go to your cousins garage. But they will work with you. If they can repair it instead of replace it, they will. If you can live with some minor scratches on the bumper, that's ok.
They fixed it in a couple of days. Right on time. No need for a rental. No waiting for appointment. The car looked like new. Cleaned inside and out. I was very happy. And it's a friendly place. Ask for Steve, he's great. No one likes to go to body shops, but it was a nice experience.

When you walk in an auto shop and the place is clean, has coffee available and the walls are filled with certifications and awards, you know you are in the right place! Steve & Mario are extremely honest and helpful and repaired mine and my mom’s cars to pristine condition with minimal impact on our lives. Can’t say enough good things about State Autobody!
Mayank Gupta
I was involved in a rear fender bender recently at a parking lot. After some research over the internet I decided to choose State Auto Body, Providence to help me fix my car. I must say Steve and Mario are a to-go duo for any auto body repairs. After the first fix attempt, I noticed a good amount of gap between the fender and the bumper and I quickly raised it to these guys. They fixed it not just once but thrice until the gap was closed to as minimum as possible. It turned out that some bracket was misaligned in the newly replaced fender causing the gap.
Since I reach home during late evenings, from office, to check my car, Mario was always available on-call to ensure that the latest fix was meeting the standards. The customer experience here was really up to the mark.
Mario and Jerry were kind enough to drop-off my car to my apartment after they fixed my car. Thank you guys and Good luck!
Tina Benz
Wow!! Just picked up my car from State Auto Body. They did a great job repairing my mini coop. Looks better than the day I bought it. Car was rear ended and needed repair to bumper' and exhaust system. I hope that I never need another repair' but if I do , I know who I'll call.
Billy Connolly
State Auto Body's staff and performance were spot on perfect They took care of all of the logistics with insurance and rental and also completed the work in a timely manner. Honest, polite and professional!
Lauren Yergeau
I was rear ended on a weekend and unsure if I could continue driving my car. I called State Auto Body on Sunday morning and not only did they answer, but they eased all my fears. They walked me through the process and dealt directly with my insurance company. Once the car was at State, I didn't worry about it until I picked it up. They even detailed my car inside and out. Honestly, it has never looked nicer. They were a dream to deal with and so pleasant. Would 100% recommend!
Barbara Allen
I couldn't be happier with the service i received with my csr repairs. Mario and Steve went above and beyond! Perfect gentlemen, always available to speak with. I feel like i'm driving a new car. It was returned spotless and shiny, running perfectly. I would never take my car anywhere else! Want to be satisfied, go to State Auto Body
Paul G
This Auto Body business is managed very well. First impression - the lobby is clean and neat and all of the employees are courteous and provide a very detailed description of the work needed and the costs associated with that work. I took two cars to this business and both were repaired/painted like new. The business is also certified by a number of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) like Hyundai, GM , Kia etc. Obtaining this certification is not mandatory but the management takes the initiative to pursue this stamp of approval from the OEM’s thereby giving an extra layer of confidence to the customer. I highly recommend this Auto Body business to anyone who expects quality workmanship.
Pulkit gandhi
What a wonderful bunch of people.My Honda was rear ended and hence I took my car to state Autobody. Steve at State Autobody helped through each and every step from the beginning to end. He got me a rental car within 1 hour. He also called my insurance company to set things up and eventually after insurance declared that my car is totaled he even helped me in taking a decision of which car to buy. Overall wonderful stress free experience. Thank you for all your help.
Peter Curti
Steve and the folks at State Auto Body are really more than repair people, they are truly artist in automobile restoration. We have ( unfortunately through no fault of our own ) three recent experiences where our daughter, son, and myself needed their services. Each vehicle was heavily damaged and each car was restored to a condition BETTER than before the vehicles were damaged.
Thank you again.

Ken Chace
Took my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up in to have the dent fixed on the front fender. Awesome job, looks like new! Truck was detailed both inside and out when I picked it up, so the whole truck looked and smelled new. They came high;y recommended and they lived up to it!
Michael Zompa
I have had experience with other auto body shops in RI and none come close to State Autobody. Steve is very responsive, honest, and knowledgeable. He treats all his costumers with respect and truly cars about the work he does. Very highly recommend!
Kara De Morro
Probably the best service I have ever received! Steve is very involved and ensures you are happy and your car is well taken care of... Especially through the insurance claims process! My car looks amazing!!! Definitely recommend them!!
Bob Salvas
I had the extreme pleasure of dealing with State Auto Body in Providence RI recently. To say their work is top-notch is simply an understatement. It is easy to see that their quality work is driven by their caring and honesty. I happened to overhear a conversation they had with a young customer. It was very clear that they were not in this for the sale, but rather for the client. We certainly need more businesses like State Auto Body in this world.
Esteban Gomez
The service and overall experience was second to none!! Thanks Mario and the rest of your team for an awesome job. I will definitely bring my car to you again, but I pray I do not have to. I will recommend State Auto Body to friends and family.
Hannah Abbott
Mario and Steve are incredible to work with! They do amazing work in a timely manner. My family has been going to them for years and we will never trust anyone else to take care of our cars.
Demetri Petrou
I brought my 2015 Toyota Highlander for auto body work. The entire passenger side was damaged due to an accident. State Auto Body took care of the insurance, rental car, and all details of the repair. Very professional, courteous, and meticulous. I picked up my car this week and very happy with the results. The car is perfect, and even detailed the interior and exterior. I highly recommend State Auto Body if you need auto body work!
Robert Shick
Where do I start? Absolutely everything about working with these folks was a complete pleasure. I have half a mind to get in another fender-bender, just to give these guys some more business. Here you go, line by line:
1) Everyone I interacted with at State Auto Body was friendly and welcoming, particularly Steve. They returned calls very quickly and did a great job of communicating everything that was going on. Mario, the owner, clearly takes pride in his business and is incredibly friendly in his own right.
2) The office itself is beautiful, recently renovated. I asked, and apparently they renovated a few years ago. You wouldn't know it though. The place is so clean and neat you'd think they finished the reno yesterday. I know this isn't the most important thing in the world, but it speaks volumes about how much they care about their business.
3) The work on my car was of higher quality than I ever would have hoped for. My car went from looking like a prize-fighter after a KO to looking like it just rolled off the lot at the dealership.
4) They cleaned the car, inside and out. They waxed it and oiled the leather, for crying out loud. I've never gotten a car back from a body shop looking this nice. Seriously. Gorgeous.
5) The pricing seemed quite fair and was actually much less expensive than I had anticipated.
Any one of the above would have been worthy of a 5-star rating. But the fact that they hit them all out of the park is just unbelievable. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat. Hell, I'll do a testimonial for a radio ad! If you live in the Providence area, or even southeastern Mass, it is well worth your time to bring your car here. Mario and Steve (and everyone else), thank you so much for the fantastic job you did.
Nate Eckerson
I've taken two vehicles here for body work. Ironically, both repairs were roof damage related. The shop did a fantastic job restoring the cars to mint condition, and went out of their way to remedy an issue caused by a defective windshield. They'll get all my business in the future!
Patricia
Great experience! Friendly, knowledgeable and conscientious. Steve dealt with the insurance company and made sure all damage (even hidden damage) got fixed. It was hassle free and they did beautiful work. The car is like brand new. They take pride in their work. I highly recommend!!
Teris Espinosa
State Auto Body had great customer service when dealing with me. Was very pleased with the work that was done on my car. They performed above my expectation. Would recommend any who need to auto body repair to go State Auto Body!
Justin Zeller
Not a good year for us, but Steve and State Auto Body made it painless to have body work done on three vehicles in our fleet last year. They are an amazing resource. It makes me feel at ease to know that they will take care of what needs to be done using the highest quality parts ... at a price that is fair. I won't think about going elsewhere as long as Steve is a part of State Auto Body.

I have used State Auto Body twice for a new bumper and again for damage from a fender bender. Steve Paiva was super professional and had the work done in a timely fashion. I would gladly recommend him again. thanks Rob Heckman
Larry Russo
My family and I have been doing business with State Auto Body for years. Mario and Steve are the 2 most respected business people I know. They never take advantage of you when your in a bad situation. As a matter of fact, they help you as much as they can. Not to mention their work is always top notch. If your in a bind, I can not recommend anyone higher.

State Auto has taken care of multiple issues on several of my vehicles. From large to small matters, everything was handled promptly and professionally. I won't ever take a vehicle to anyone else, it's great to have an auto body shop you can TRUST, they are few and far between.

Great place and does phenomenal work, paint job is flawless. Steve takes care of you like family. Live in Boston now but still use State Auto Body whenever I need auto body work. Highly recommend them.

State auto body did a fantastic job on my vehicle after I got into my accident. Besides the many good things I can say about the team and owners, the most important, to me, is their trustworthiness! Fantastic business
Alan Loiselle
We had a passenger window smashed in by a burglar. They took a bad situation and made it wonderful. We were kept informed throughout the process of how long it would take, clear reasons as to what work was being done and why, the repair was fast and very very well done, they were courteous and friendly each time we came by. The car had glass all over the place, but when we picked it up, it looked brand new. Clean, no problems or rattling in the window (like if loose glass had been left, which they fully cleaned out). Just an amazing service from a great company. Will definitely use them for any car service in the future!!
Chace Baptista
I'm going to be brief, but clear. This experience has blown me away. The gentleman at State Auto Body, offered a level of service that any business worth it's snuff aspire to meet. I travel frequently for business and hotels would be jealous of the level of customer service that you receive at State. In addition to the supreme detail, respect, and kindness that they give during a time of duress. The quality of the work is excellent. My girlfriend had a small accident and dented her front end, the car came back to us looking better than we she first purchased it. I wish there were more stars to give because that is how pleased I am with the service @ State.

I brought my 2014 Honda Accord in after a Whole Foods truck backed into me! Steve Paiva is a great guy. He connected me to a rental right away, took care of all the insurance hassle, and had me back in my baby sooner than I could believe. State Auto Body made a painful experience painless! Don't go anywhere else!

i was rear ended and needed to have my bumper replaced on my 2015 sierra. because the tow hitch had fresh scratches in the paint, an obvious sign of impact, steve had that replaced as well (instead of repainting it). it may have been compromised and had the potential of failing some day towing something. looking out for my/public safety. state auto-body handled everything with the insurance company and arranged for me to have a loaner vehicle, a crew cab pick-up so i could continue to run my business. my truck was returned to me a day earlier than promised, cleaned and ready to go.

Extremely professional and willing to go the extra mile to help. I called from the road about my Honda CRV which had just been damaged in a collision, and the driver's door wouldn't fully open. They offered to stay late to bend the damaged panel so I could at least open the door fully. Great service, I highly recommend them.
John M
Excellent, timely work. Steve and Mario were very professional and courteous throughout the process, took care of everything. The car looks better than showroom status! I recommend them to all my friends and family.

I had a great experience with State. They handled everything for me from contacting the insurance company to securing my rental. My car looks better now than before the accident! I would recommend State to anyone and I have.
Rishi Singh
I came in here because the car had a 1 inch nick to the primer. I originally came in thinking I'd have to spend a ton of money, but Steve walked me through, and instead recommended I touch up the paint. He forwent money for the sake of what was best for me both financially and practically. He is a stellar individual and I will be recommending this shop to everybody!
Jered Gutierres
Amazing Service! Steve, Mario and team on a few different occasions have taken care of my vehicles and made something that it usually painful to deal with into a pleasant, effortless experience. They are a top notch body shop that I would highly recommend to anyone that would ask me where they should go!
Sam Rapp
Someone T-boned our car and we weren't that familiar with how to handle any of it, but Steve did everything. He took care of calling the rental, dealt with the insurance agency, answered any and all questions we had. Car looks brand new again. Would recommend to anyone!
Joanne Resnick
This is the best Auto body shop in Rhode Island!! You get your car back like new every time. For me it was better than new. Great people to work with, they are friendly and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed!
Sebastian Masiello
Steve was great. Very professional. Quick turn around. Reasonable Prices. Will definitely have State Auto body take care of my car in the future.
Michele Marquis
Mario and Steve were a pleasure to deal with. Their work and thoroughness was exceptional. I couldn’t be happier and recommend this shop to anyone that needs auto body work done. I’ll be telling all of my friends and co-workers.
Quechelle P
5 star customer service. I was having an issue with my front bumper and they helped me out immediately free of charge. My car looks so beautiful now and I’m very happy. If you’re looking for great customer service, polite and knowledgeable people, this is the place you want to take your vehicle.
Tarah Reilly
I was referred to state by a friend. This is the best auto body shop I have ever been to! Steve and Mario have taken such good care of my car after I hit a deer! I will never go anywhere else ever!
Scott Morse

Alex Castillo
I needed some body work done to my car, I called them, mind you I never been there, told them my friend just backed into my car and I need a hood and some body work done. I told them I'm starting a new job next week and hoped they could help me. He ordered the hood that moment on a Tuesday he called me Thursday morning telling me it was their I brought the car in an hour later it was like 10 a.m.
I hoped to get the car by Saturday cause it was labor day weekend. Well, he called me Thursday night and said it was done come get it! I was in disbelief. But I was totally happy that they actually listened to my situation and responded. They're a great group of guys and I'm happy I brought my car there....
I definitely tell my family members to go there if they need ANY work done ...........
Lou Silva
This bodyshop is by far the best in the business. I have been dealing with Mario and Steve for years and have referred many people to State Auto Body and I will continue to do so. If you ever need assistance with bodywork on your vehicle, look no further!

I wish I could give this place more stars! Had a great experience with them. They helped me with getting a rental and explained everything regarding my accident. Most importantly the repairs they did to my car looked great and they cleaned my car as well too extra plus from me. You won't be disappointed their team is great!
Kira Poulson
I had a great experience with everyone who works here! They helped me out with no problem and repaired my car flawlessly. Everyone is super respectful, and super caring. I definitely recommend bringing your vehicles to get looked at here
jamal burley
EVERYTHING IS FIXED! Mike & his team are amazing at what they do. I travel alot for photography work so I need a vehicle desperately. They fixed all the issues I had and it works great! I have brought my car to many places but never had this type of full service anywhere and I'm so excited I can't even explain. I Highly recommended this place to anyone having car problems.
Suzannah Skolnik
Couldn't be any happier with this place! I reached out to them on a weekend, and by Monday morning they had already researched the part I needed and provided me with a reasonable quote. The work was FINISHED in the amount of time it took two other auto body places in the area just to return my phonecall, lol. And the guys at State Auto Body are VERY friendly and pleasant to work with. They now have a customer in me for LIFE!
Greg Caldarone
I have been going to State Auto Body for over 30 years. The staff here is knowledgeable , trustworthy, honest and professional. great customer service but most importantly they get the job done right!
Mike Buckley
The color white is hard to match. Nice job gentlemen. I got a compliment from a new car dealer on the quality of work. The shop managers here are polite, particular and fairly priced. Rental car was needed and they took car of all that hassle. I'm not big on writing these posts, these guys are good.
Alana Marquardt
They were all so nice and extremely helpful! I was in and out in less than an hour; they took me right away! Could have gone to place that would have charged me $600, and they gave me an honest quote to do it for so, so much less. Will definitely recommend to anyone in the area who needs work on their car.
Sam Fallavollita
Such nice guys, called them the day of to get my mirror fixed and they had me bring it over with in an hour of me calling them. Fixed it in 10 minutes tops and free of charge. Nice clean waiting room and such good customer service. Now my go to spot anytime I need my car fixed, would recommend to anyone
Jeremiah Alves
Had a road trip end abruptly when another car crashed into the back end of mine and spun out on the highway. Car was completely wrecked but after bringing the car here it was better than new. Everyone was respectful and helped make a traumatic experience less stressful.
Kimberly Reichel
My car looks amazing! I had some damage on the right side of my car and it all looks like brand new. Now on the left side all the minor scratches seem to stand out... I kind of want to go back and have them treat the left side too haha. Great guys and great quality work!! Very helpful and accommodating!
Frinzsel Desiongco
I got to say these guys are such nice people especially Mario. Their paint jobs are also great and looks like the day you get it from the dealer ;however if they miss a certain spot that was promised to be painted , they will not give it their all to fix the spots they missed . I basically live 3 1/2 hours away from the auto body and got my car painted on my vacation in Rhode Island . I noticed they missed a spot by my rear door so they said come back and they'll take care of it . Drove 3 1/2 hours just to have them paint the missed spots, but wait get this , it looks like it's been painted by a brush and is obviously not up to their standards when they painted the rest of my car. I'm not angry at them just disappointed. I mean I drove 3 1/2 hours to get to the autobody and I plan to drive back home on the same day . Three stars just because I had to drive back when it should have properly been painted beforehand and also when I came back , the missed spots were poorly painted. If I knew it would turn out like that I would have stayed home and avoided the trip. I would have given them 5 if the missed spots were never missed and I didn't waste my time coming back to get it done so poorly. This is just an honest review but man I really wish I could have given them 5 just because of their customer service. Unfortunately, an autobody can't get five just from customer service alone.

Professional and precise, prices are very fair also. If you are looking for a reliable mechanic and auto body shop, this is your place!!! They have been in business since 1939 and the quality of their work shows it.

Came in for a repair on a Mini Cooper. They were able to perfectly match the distinct blue color. They said you might be able to see the difference if you look really close but it honestly looks like it just came off the line. Friendly too

I brought my Grandmother's leased 2015 Toyota Camry here after it was hit by another car in the parking lot. Damage to the front bumper, broken fog light. They got the parts in, made the repairs, and had the car back to us sooner than they had promised. Gram got her car back in the same condition as when she drove it off the dealer lot for the first time!
