Did not assess nor repair the frame damage.

the shop did not assess the damage to the frame of the vehicle. Repaired the cosmetic damage but not the structural damage.

Clifford (Honda owner) reviewed 9/21/26

Have always heard positive reviews of the work done.

I need to read the paper work and see if the car is aligned correctly. Or if that is not something that was checked out.

The car look good, paint color just a little darker than the original color.
