My Experience

I brought my car to C&L Auto Body in Plainfield after a minor accident, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The team was professional and made the entire process completely stress-free by helping coordinate my rental car drop-off and pickup right at the shop. They kept me updated with daily progress reports, and the work was finished much earlier than promised. The paint match is 100% seamless—you’d never know there was ever damage—and they even handed the car back detailed and clean inside and out. My car looks brand new! I highly recommend C&L Auto Body for anyone needing body repairs.

From the moment I called to schedule my appointment, C&L maintained the highest level of professionalism. I truly appreciated how they kept me informed every other day about the progress of my car and when I could expect it to be completed. When I picked up my car, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had cleaned, vacuumed, and wiped down my car. That extra touch meant a lot! Thank you, C&L, for providing excellent customer service from beginning to end. I highly recommend C&L to anyone looking for quality work and exceptional service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The person who took the calls and manages front office ( I didn’t get the name) was super helpful and professional through the whole process. Thank you for making the repair ordeal as hassle free as possible for me. I very much appreciated it.

Based on the invoice it looks like a used part was used. Since this id a motorized mirror I am concerned that the motor can stop working much sooner than one on a new part.

My truck was taken for repairs due to car accident, and they did not follow up the procedure because the part installed was not what they were supposed to installed due to touching my rear tailgate and the part seems to be the cheapest one in the website. Also, on the day when they called to informed me that the truck was ready for pick up the lady was rude on the phone with threats that if I don't pick up the truck the way they fixed it, I would be charge daily for storage. I did not have any other option so i went to pick up my truck.

The repairs on my RAV 4 was very good. My only wish that the side that wasn’t damaged would have been replaced after discussing it with me. I would have been willing to pay out of pocket.

I got constant undates on the progress of the repairs, I appreciated that and the repairs were completed ahead of time.

My Experience

Took two weeks to replace a simple plastic part when i simply could’ve dropped the vehicle off when the part arrived instead of holding my vehicle. And on top of that didn’t replace the main part that i showed was damaged, you can see they marked the part with a marker and never replaced it.

I’ve been to this shop in the past and other c&l’s and its always a bad experience

Repair Quality

Took two weeks to replace a plastic part and when i picked up my truck i noticed the same broken part i initially pointed out still on my car that was actually marked by someone at the shop

Customer Service

They said they would notify when the part comes in so i could bring my truck back in for repairs instead of holding my vehicle for weeks
