The only thing I'm concerned about is a humming sound that is new when I run the fan ..it's only on the side that the damage was on. Is it by chance something that could have been overlooked..just because I didn't know about it specifically before...I can continue to listen and see if it gets worse or bring it in .

Based on this last service

Repair Quality

I am very happy with the quality of the final repairs. However, I cannot give a full "10" satisfaction because it took over 2 months to get done and back. Somehow it seems as though something could have been differently to not have the vehicle as long. I ended up having to pay an additional $1,000 for rental vehicle beyond what was covered by my insurance. Another note, my Escape went in totally clean and came back filthy with a grimey film in every crevice...except for the floor. Once I got it cleaned well I finally felt like I had my car back. Thanks for your quality work...as I know that is what is most important! Thanks

We do not live near Des Moines, we are actually 4 hours away in Minneapolis. But we would definitely recommend this repair shop if you are in the Des Moines area

Emails and texts about the survey are excessive. Your repair device was 10/10. Gave you 8/10 for the desperate attempts at a review. It’s borderline harassment. One text and one email is more than enough. Change your policy.

Customer Service

See previous comment. Survey texts and emails are far too much.

They got the job done on time. I feel they went above and beyond taking care of my car. I will definitely use you again if I any more accidents, but hopefully not!
