The final result of repair is excellent, although it took 4 weeks for the repair to be completed. I had to phone and ask rather than being informed as to why the completion date was being extended multiple times.

Rick was amazing! From start to finish, we knew what our status was, our questions were answered, and he handled all communications with the insurance provider. Thank you SO much ABRA & Rick!!

Very satisfied, great service. The repair did take a bit longer than expected but Abra definitely helped us out to provide a replacement car (free of charge!) to bridge the gap in days. All in all good experience. Will definitely come back. Not to forget the repair looks good as new!

Customer Service

Nothing to add, good and professional.

My Experience

Actually, I am the owner. Maria Kingsley. But, I am amazed by your work! And the fact that you cleaned my car afterward is awesome. My car is back to beautiful and you can not even tell anything ever happened! And you had it completed in the time you said it would be done. Thank you so much!

My Experience

My Experience

The repair was done nicely but it took 3 weeks which we were not prepared for...

Likely to Recommend

I would not recommend this shop based on the excessive delays, consistently poor communication, careless workmanship, and the fact that our forward-collision system no longer works properly. The vehicle was returned in worse condition in some respects, and the shop has not responded to my message about the problem.

Repair Quality

We were initially told the repair would take about one week. Between scheduling delays and more than five weeks in the shop, it took nearly eight weeks. Completion estimates were repeatedly inaccurate, and communication from both Abra and AFI was lacking and often delayed. Our insurance rental coverage eventually ran out, leaving us without a vehicle for almost the final three weeks. The bodywork also appears to have been done carelessly. There are now slots ground through the bumper and pry marks where a technician apparently tried to remove it. These were not present before the repair. Although no warning lights were on when the vehicle was returned, the forward-collision system no longer detects vehicles as it did before the accident and repair. Abra billed our insurance more than $6,000 for damage caused by hitting a raccoon and leaving a quarter size hole beneath the bumper, not including the rental expense. I had to call the shop and our insurance company repeatedly just to keep the repair moving. The entire experience was stressful, unreasonably long, and our vehicle is now worse in some respects than when we brought it in.

Customer Service

Communication from Abra was inadequate and often delayed. The completion date changed repeatedly, and I frequently had to contact the shop myself for updates. The original one-week estimate became more than five weeks in the shop and nearly eight weeks overall, leaving us without a rental vehicle for almost three weeks. Given the poor communication, repeated delays, visible damage from the repair process, and the forward-collision system no longer working properly, I am extremely dissatisfied with the customer service we received.

Will be taking to social media to share our pure satisfaction!!

My experience with Abra was very good. Their representatives were friendly and their shuttle service was top notch. The shuttle vehicle was clean and the driver was very friendly. The work was done in a timely manner.
