Located in Merrick, New York, R & U Auto Body began thanks to Ronald Ustica Jr., who enjoyed repairing damaged vehicles for his family and friends. In 1990 he opened a small business, honed his skills, and remained helpful and dedicated to customers. The business expanded and turned into R & U Auto Body.

Today R & U Auto Body offers customers 24/7 towing and flatbed services in and around Nassau County. In addition, the shop features tire and rim repair, detailing and cleaning, and dent repair. State-of-the-art spray booths consist of high-end downdraft systems, providing precision paint and pinstriping jobs. Those seeking light mechanical work can also come in to the facility. For customers in need of immediate transportation, the company provides the convenience of onsite car rentals from Enterprise and Hertz. In addition, the shop contacts the customer’s insurance company and expedites the process of receiving approval for the car rental.

Dedicated to helping others, R & U Auto Body supports several local organizations, including the Church of the Cure of Ars and the Jewish Center, both of which are located in Merrick.
