I’m pleased with the repairs on my car; it looks as though nothing happened. However, I rated my experience a 9 because the process took over two weeks. As a UBER driver, this delay impacted my income significantly. Thank you for the good work!

My Experience

I had an excellent experience with you. I especially am very appreciative of the customer service provided by Jacob. We were in contact with each other while my car was being worked on. He was always professional and kept me in the loop as it did take quite a while. The work that was done looks great! My encounter with the receptionists or by whoever answered the phone was always pleasant, friendly and professional. I really am grateful that Geico highly recommended this place and I will do the same. Thank you!

Based on my experience, the lack of attention to detail in verifying that the repairs were done properly, combined with the lack of communication, I would not recommend Crash Champions to anyone at this time.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt it was important to share my experience here. I brought my car in to have the front bumper replaced due to animal-related damage. When I came to pick it up, I immediately noticed loose and missing plastic clips in the wheel well, parts that were supposed to be addressed in the repair. I pointed it out, and a different mechanic (filling in for the one who had done the work) took it back to get it checked out as he said they had an new intern helping with the repairs since the original mechanic had moved locations. After driving it home, I noticed the turbo wasn’t building more than 5 psi of boost, and there was a clear noise that sounded like air was escaping. I took it back to the shop and even took an employee on a drive to point out the issue. He downplayed it, saying it “sounded cool,” but told me they would take a look. I left the car there over the weekend, expecting a proper inspection. When I came back the following week, they said they couldn’t find anything wrong, so I picked it up and decided to check it myself. I found multiple loose hose clamps around the blow-off valve and intercooler piping, areas that were clearly disconnected during the bumper replacement and not properly reinstalled. All the clamps were easily moved by hand. There were also missing clips/ hardware on the bottom plastic engine cover that was replaced as part of the repairs. It’s frustrating to have to double-check this kind of work myself, especially when it involves components near the turbo and intake system. The lack of attention to detail and follow-through was disappointing. I was told multiple times that I would be notified when the parts arrived to get an estimated completion date, as they had been in the shop for over a month. However, I had to reach out and make multiple calls to get updates. I hope this feedback helps improve quality control going forward.
