Very pleased with their work and it seems they delivered sooner than expected, by several days. And they kept me updated with progress reports along the way.

The car had been washed and the job replacing hinges on the door worked out beautifully. Otherwise the car would have been totalled, and I didn't want to lose it. What I didn't like: the steering wheel was messy from the work. The car had fumes for days, which probably couldn't be helped.

Excellent and efficient service, easy with claim, professional
