ITS A SHAME!. It is really ashame abput what I am reading on these reviews! I have been a customer of Automax collision for quite a few years now and when the original owner became ill and decided to give it up, I know his intensions were to give it to stand up business men that would stand by their work! Everyone has problems and we all go through things but these "brother" have major issues! how do u operate under all these names and ruin a reputation at that location that stood for what it standed for? You should be ashamed of yourselfs! Thanks for the heads up everyone! After asking many people (previous workers, friends and our own southphilians, I would never send my car there!! And its ashame because there used to be a great group of people at that shop!

ANTHONY DICASTELNUOVO IS A CON MAN. The Di Castelnuovo brothers are still scamming. They go under diferent names to avoid the heat. One brother blames the other. These are bad people with no good family values. One brother blames the other, comon, this is trully a con mans aggenda. While one brother goes on holiday in Disney World and the jesey shore, the other brother starts cashing the checks. You have been warned...do not take your car to COLLISION DIRECT in Philadelphia. They are con men.

Anthony Dicastelnuovo AKA Tony Castle is a criminal. I can't believe all the articles I am finding on this criminal He butchered my car at 8 1/2 Oregon Ave. He is going under the new name Collision Direct. Please be advised that him and his brother Joe Dicastelnuovo are scamming people out of big money. They have stolen over 100k and someone needs to do something about it. They have been flipping their business back and forth while the other claims bancruptcy after they cash your insurance check and are then no where to be found. They have allready scammed people out of money at the following shops: AutoMAX, Unique Collision, Performance 1 Collision, Eastern Collision, Castle Auto Collision just to name a few as well as 10 other ficticious names to go along with those. I have allready contacted the the Beter Business B and L&I as well as anyone and everyone in City hall. My next step is to contact all the news media to bring these guys to justice. I will not stop untill these guys go to jail and are made an example of.

Anthony and Joe Dicastelnuovo are Criminals. I brought my car to this chop shop about three months ago....I finally got it back unfinished with paint chipping and in worse condition than when I brought it in. Please whatever you do do not take your car to these people.

Joe and Anthony Dicastelnuovo Con Artist. I can't believe all this feeback I'm seeing about these scamers. I am in the same boat with these guys and just a whole bunch of lies. My car still isn't done after 5 months. Its just sitting in there lot. Now I get the new owner Anthony whos acting like he's doing me a favor if he finishes the car. By all means stay away from these con artists.

Anthony and Joe DiCastelnuovo Con Artists. My car was in an auto accident a few months back on 95 South near the packer ave exit...The tow truck driver who was very helpful at the time towed my car to an auto body shop in South Philadelphia called (AUTOMAX). I called the claim into my insurance company and waited for the adjuster to come look at my car. After the estimate came in I called my insurance company and decided to take the car to a shop reccomended by my insurance company...however Automax then told me I owed them 600 storage fee...so I decided to have the work done there after I was told by the owner Joe Dicastelnuovo that he would save me my 500.00 deductible.

After no phone calls for two weeks I called and was told that they were waiting on parts. A week later same story. I went down to the shop to find my car had not even been started. The check which was for 4600.00 was allready cashed and I was now told that the owner Joe was no longer in business and the shop was now called Performance 1 Collision. I called my insuarnce company and the adjuster and they said they would file a complaint and report the matter. At this point the new owner who I was told was Frank Trocini. but when I go to the shop hes never there...then I find out the owner is there and his name is Anthony, Anthony Dicastelnuovo, Joes brother...Anthony explained that he was helping his brother out and my car would be done by the end of the week. so now 2 months later Anthony is nowhere to be found...I finally contacted a lawyer..who has a friend at the atorney generals office in Philadelphia. Finally after a few phone calls the car is finished. I pick up the car after almost 4 months. And have all kind of problems with the paint chipping off.

Stay away from Joe and Anthony Dicastelnuovo in Philadelphia. And all there Auto Body shop scams.

They opperate at 8 1/2 Oregon Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19148. Also stay away from STS Towing, Southside towing or any tow truck that wants to tow or car to any of these shops:

AUTOMAX, UNIQUE AUTO, CASTLE AUTO, PERFORMANCE 1 COLLISION, COLLISION DIRECT.

I've done some research and they have been doing this a long time flipping the shops back and forth between each other...and each one blames the other for having a gambling problem, health issues, and accident, ect...thats why the other one says they are "helping there brother out" ...and its not there fault....They will act like they are doing you a favor but will really just con you...don't do it!!!!
