My Experience

All staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Communication was clear and I was kept updated. Pricing was transparent. Best of all the car was done much faster than expected. 10/10. I hope I don’t need collision repairs again but I recommend them to those who do.

My Experience

Staff is amazing. Great work!

I cannot thank you guys enough for going above and beyond and the work is absolutely gorgeous.

My Experience

The customer service was 10/10! From the beginning of the repair process. We appreciate Joel ( Manager) keeping us updated through the process. His hard work and professionalism does not go unnoticed. Joel went above and beyond, he came in on his day off (Saturday) to give us the truck. Highly recommend Gene Cochetti Bodyshop. Thank you to the entire team!

My Experience

Esthetically, my car looks like nothing ever happened to it. The process was very easy because the office staff was friendly and answered all questions. Thank you for completing all the repairs (and washing my car).
