From factory-standard collision repair to custom wraps and premium paint protection — 1st Effect is Rockaway's one-stop shop for every automotive service. NJ licensed, insurance approved, and built around quality that lasts.
When your vehicle takes a hit, we bring it back to factory condition — or better. As a NJ licensed auto body repair facility, we handle everything from minor fender damage to major structural restoration with precision and care.
We work directly with all major insurance carriers and handle the claims process from start to finish so you don't have to deal with the hassle.
Our paint department specializes in exact color matching and flawless finishes. Whether it's a single panel respray after a repair or a full custom color change, our painters deliver results that are indistinguishable from factory.
PDR is the fastest, most cost-effective way to remove dents and dings without affecting your original factory paint. Perfect for hail damage, parking lot dings, and minor door dents where the paint is still intact.
We work directly with all major insurance carriers — State Farm, GEICO, Allstate, Progressive, and more. Just bring your vehicle in.
XPEL PPF is the gold standard in paint protection — a virtually invisible urethane film that shields your paint from rock chips, road debris, scratches, and UV damage. We offer both standard and Stealth (matte finish) options.
XPEL Ceramic Coating bonds to your paint at a molecular level, creating a hydrophobic, scratch-resistant barrier that keeps your vehicle looking freshly detailed for years. Easier to clean, harder to scratch, and stunning to look at.
XPEL window tint films offer superior heat rejection, UV protection, and privacy — without the purple tint or bubbling that comes with cheap films. Available in multiple shades to fit your style and NJ legal requirements.
Transform your vehicle's look without a permanent paint job. Our experienced wrap installers use premium vinyl films to deliver color changes, matte finishes, custom designs, and commercial graphics with a factory-smooth finish.
