Great to work with and love the fact that they inform you and keep you updated on status of vehicle without you personally checking on it. Everyone is friendly and very polite. Would definitely continue to use them.

My Experience

Great paint job but… The lock in my car is acting weird. It won’t lock anymore unless i manually do it. It did not act this way before. I used to be able to lock it with the remote or by pushing the button my door.

My Experience

Great service really good communication

Likely to Recommend

I personally liked the environment and the memories I had with this shop, but customer service might need some improvement on how to communicate with the customer before telling the delay of the repair.

Repair Quality

I wish the notification of the delay for fixing the car to be sent a day before, not the date of the original pick up date. Also the explanation of the postponing the pick up date for more than two times, should be explained before sending the notification of the delay through phone call or voice message.
