I just picked it up this morning and have been at work all day. Great to have my wheels. I was very appreciative of Breanna’s assistance and feel that I will be listened too if something appears as I drive it now! THANKS for a loaner when it was possible!!

A Big Thank you to each person that worked on repairing my shattered back window. Thanks for the opportunity to be satisfied with your repair. BreAnna was super great to work with. I was extremely sorry that you didn't have a loaner that I could either rent or use, was the only hardship I endured as there were no rental cars available in Ankeny or Des Moines that first week either, to many graduations at that time!! At 90 years old, I should have been content to just sit down and wait, but no...a graduate graduation in Milwaukee for my granddaughter, a memorial service at Iowa City, a Baptism at West Des Moines, Cemetery visits for Memorial Day across southeast Iowa, AND my calendar was full of work events every day I wasn't going somewhere else, as I am on the Iowa State Event Staff and that week--was ISU Graduation!! The next week was Odessey of the Mind. Thanks to great co-workers I didn't miss any work ,(nor did I miss any social functions!! I'm sure this was my busiest three weeks of the year to be without a car!! My apology for any anxious telephone calls to you but hopefully this note helps you realize why I was anxious. Thanks again for fixing the back shattered window so it looks as good as new!! I know you were trying to get me a car, as soon as possible, I was able to rent a car the week after graduation and BreAnna brought a loaner out the last couple of days, since I had returned the rental thinking my car would be available, so I had a way to get to Ames. I did have to smile...the inside was obvious gone over and was cleaned, I didn't find a bit of glass anywhere. However, the inside of the back door was covered with "boot marks" whoops...I know it was missed. I just smiled, a little soap and water changed that. I did appreciate all your cooperation in not having to "total" the car! I like my Escape as I can get in and out so easy since it is on a truck chaise. Thanks again for your good work, and having driven the car now a week, it all seems to be working O.K. I certainly learned my lesson and will make sure the garage door is always totally completely up each time I raise it!!!! I want you to know I appreciate all you did, and use my example of frustration to let all of you know don't ever stop working...being around people is the best medicine there is and it can't be bottled or purchased you just have it from keeping on going!!! Thanks again. I feel blessed to have my car back. Mary

A handful of years ago we had a vehicle repaired by Dewey collision and had a great experience which is why we chose Dewey this time around however something has definitely changed in the overall operation at Dewey collision. The communication throughout the process was not good at all. I am very concerned about how well the repairs were actually done. I hope I don't run into any problems down the road. I can't help but think we are going to run into issues after seeing that the rocker panel had multiple clips that were not replaced and also the wheel well cover was missing plastic rivets/screws. After our experience I would not recommend Dewey collision.

Repair Quality

There was no communication throughout the repair process. I received a text that said I can check the status of our repairs but when I clicked on the link it gave me an error and said it was not working and that I would need to call in to check on the status. I called in after a couple days and was told it would probably be ready on Friday May 29th. I never heard from anybody but called in the afternoon and was told it was ready. When I came to pick up the vehicle, I noticed that the damage to the left rear rim was not fixed. I asked to talk to Nash and he said that you tried to buff the scratches out. I told him it wasn't acceptable as is so he said he would see what he could do with progressive to get that taken care of. When opening the driver side door handle, it practically fell off. Nash said he would have somebody look at it to see if it was a quick fix. After waiting for 25 minutes I asked the front desk person if Nash was around. He came out and let me know he would have to order a part for the door handle to be fixed and that it would be Monday before we could possibly get anything done. When calling on Monday, we were told a rim has been ordered and would be in on Tuesday and that they would be getting the part for the door handle. We called again Tuesday morning and we're told that the door handle had been fixed and that the rim should be taken care of by the end of the day. We never heard back that everything was completed. We called Wednesday morning and were told everything would be done by noon. My wife picked the car up Wednesday afternoon. When looking over everything this evening, my daughter mentioned the door makes a popping noise when opening it. After looking over everything, the door is rubbing on the front fender which it was not doing when we brought it in. Upon further inspection the rocker panel is missing clips which hold it in place also the wheel well cover is missing a plastic rivet and or screw. I am totally unimpressed with the quality of the work that was done to our vehicle. This will be the last time I use Dewey collision.

Customer Service

The person at the front desk as well as Nash are friendly, but the lack of communication was shocking!!

I am very happy with the work that was done.

Repair Quality

The staff there is very friendly. I particularly appreciated the shuttle service as I did not have another vehicle or person to drive me home or back to pick up my vehicle. The driver was very polite and friendly as well.

Customer Service

The staff were very nice. I would have appreciated a little more communication of the time frame to fix it though.

The goal was to align the doors. They did that but the panel at the rear bottom still did not line up. They said that was part of the frame and they couldn't fix that.
