Great work and friendly service. I would appreciate the same discount my insurance company gets, though, even though I did not file a claim. Seems reasonable to me.

Jay and his crew did an AMAZING job. Less than 2 weeks start to finish grafting on a quarter panel, new door and bumper then prep and paint and other work. Just amazing to me.

My Experience

The initial repair estimate went from 3 days to 3 weeks (they blamed Geico). This meant I had to reschedule the repair, but they said they'd order in the parts....the, surprise! - they forgot to order parts to reattach my bumper, delaying my repair another week, while ghosting me during most of the process. Multiple estimated completion dates were missed. Then the bumper had very visible paint drips on it around the repair spot when I came to pick it up. When I was told, "It'll just be 20 mins to fix," they then couldn't actually fix it that day. Admittedly, in my frustration about how poorly this went, I was too quick to blame them for the mileage error. I do apologize for that.

Repairs look great. Although the process took a while due to BMW supply constraints, Carstar was communicative and maintained regular updates and timelines.

Your shop did an outstanding job fixing my car quickly. It looks excellent. I am ethically opposed to businesses that refuse cash, as it disenfranchises the most vulnerable members of our society, and so I cannot recommend this business to anyone else.

Customer Service

Very pleased with the technician who worked on my car and communicated with me. The receptionist was quite rude when I asked if I could pay my $500 deposit in cash. I don’t mind having to pay by card, but her response to my question was “Oh absolutely not!!” As if it was inappropriate to even ask. I don’t like being treated rudely for asking a simple question; if you don’t accept cash perhaps a sign indicating such would be useful.
