Our Story
Built for Precision.
Frontline Automotive was founded on a simple belief: your vehicle should leave our shop better than the day it rolled off the lot. Two decades later, that standard hasn't changed.
For more than 20 years, Frontline Automotive has been a fixture in the Brooklyn community — not just as a repair shop, but as a place drivers trust when it matters most. What started as a small, family-owned operation has grown into a full-service collision center, yet we still treat every vehicle that comes through our doors like it belongs to a neighbor. Because in many ways, it does.
Our team is made up of ASE-certified and I-CAR Gold Class technicians who understand that modern collision repair is part art, part engineering. From aluminum-intensive Teslas and European luxury models to everyday commuters and work trucks, we have the training, tooling, and manufacturer relationships to restore every vehicle to pre-accident condition — or better. Ali, Al, and Alex help lead the team at Frontline Automotive, and their focus day to day is keeping every repair on track — from the first inspection to the final quality check.
Mission
Restoring Vehicles. Restoring Confidence.
To deliver collision repair so precise, our customers forget the accident ever happened. That means using OEM and factory-approved parts, following manufacturer repair procedures to the letter, and never cutting corners on structural or safety-critical work. It also means standing behind every repair with rigorous quality checks and clear documentation, so you have peace of mind long after you drive away.
We know an accident is stressful. That's why our process is built around transparency: clear estimates, direct communication with your insurance company, photo and video updates, and a dedicated team that answers your questions before you have to ask them.
Vision
The Standard for Collision Excellence.
To be the most trusted auto body shop in Brooklyn and the surrounding boroughs — one flawless repair at a time. We don't measure success by the number of cars we fix; we measure it by the number of customers who come back, refer their friends, and leave reviews saying we made a difficult experience easy.
Our vision is simple: raise the standard for what collision repair should feel like in New York City. That means clean facilities, respectful service, honest timelines, and a finished vehicle that looks, drives, and protects exactly the way it was designed to.
Our Values
What We Stand For.
Craftsmanship
OEM standards. Certified technicians. No shortcuts.
Integrity
Transparent estimates. Honest advice. No upsells.
Customer Focus
Communication at every step. You're never in the dark.
Excellence
Every vehicle leaves show-ready — inside and out.
Frontline Automotive is proud to call Brooklyn home. Over the years, we've built relationships with local drivers, fleet operators, insurance agents, and neighborhood businesses who rely on us to keep their vehicles safe and looking their best. We hire locally, support community events, and believe that being a good neighbor is just as important as being a good shop. Meet the people behind Frontline: Ali, Al, and Alex are part of the management team that keeps the shop running and makes sure every customer is taken care of.
When you bring your vehicle to Frontline, you can expect a straightforward experience from start to finish. We'll inspect the damage thoroughly, document everything for your insurance provider, and walk you through the repair plan in plain language. You'll receive regular updates while your car is in our care, and when it's ready, we deliver it fully detailed and quality-checked. No surprises. No pressure. Just precision you can see and trust.

If you're on Google Maps looking around for a trustworthy place to fix up your car you should bring it here!! I was so stressed out but the process to get my car fixed here was completely stress free. Someone tried to steal my Hyundai with a USB so it was just sitting on the street with a smashed window in an undrivable condition with the ignition completely messed up. Multiple shops in my neighborhood told me to wait until the next week to bring the car in but Ali towed my car away within a few hours and even stored my car inside since it was going to rain the whole weekend. I had to pay out of pocket but the pricing was extremely fair and they even helped me save a few hundred dollars by getting OEM glass from a salvage and fixed the paint that was ripped off by the duct tape I used to cover the window free of charge... All I had to do was go pick up my freshly washed and detailed sparkling clean car and drive it back home like nothing happened. Overall an amazing experience.

Frontline Auto and Ali were so incredible after I was in a car accident (got rear-ended badly on the BQE). I found frontline through a quick google search and was completely blown away by their service. They came and towed my car and ordered me an Uber home. Then, as I dealt with a back-and-forth insurance nightmare for several weeks, Ali stayed in direct contact with me — he was super responsive about sending the necessary documents to the insurance companies, and even helped me and gave me advice when the insurance company attempted to total my car — which was not the right call for many reasons, nor was it something I could afford. We pushed back and were able to finally able to start on repairs! The Frontline team did such a wonderful job with my car and it came out of this looking brand new. I’m based in Astoria but I’d still come back to Bk to use Frontline again. I can’t thank you guys enough!

Been involved in a few car accidents, but always as a passenger. Last month, it finally happened when I was the driver. I go to Google and look for the best-rated body shop and find Frontline Automotive in my area. Immediately, Alex helped take care of me and assisted with filing my insurance claim. Along the way, his business partner Ali would pick up my calls and give me status updates on the damage done to my car. Throughout the entire process, they were very helpful, and even when the shop got backed up and I wouldn’t get my car in the timeliest of manners, Ali was kind enough to work with me on how much I would pay for the services. They helped to restore my left side bottom trim and even as a courtesy restored the paint on my car, so it looks brand new. Go to Frontline! The five-star reviews are telling the truth, and everyone who works here is really nice and will help take care of you
