I asked for the service when all parts were in, however did not learn of a delay until I picked up my car. Service est was a week plus or minus 1-2 days. Was amazed that service was completed in 3 days. Last part came in 9/18 so went back in for the part change out. Aside from having to come back, very happy with the repair and service. Duy in the front office is very attentive and knows his stuff

My Toyota Rav4 looks great after the repair. Additional dings and scratches were also taken care of in the right side. I could not have asked for any more.

My Experience

Friendly, attentive customer service. Quick responses. Good explanation of the process. Paint edges could have been a little smoother around some edges, but I feel that my vehicle was taken care of and respected.

Likely to Recommend

If it's really paint-heavy, I'd make them say to make sure to do a better job. But everything else, definitely recommend.

Repair Quality

Paint edges were a bit rough.

Customer Service

Pros: Great customer service. Prompt, informative, patient. Shop is very good at giving updates on the process. Cons: Edges on paint job are a little rougher than manufacturer's original finish.

We are so happy with how the repair turned out and are even more surprised at how clean the car was not only on the outside, but it looks like you guys cleaned the inside too, which was surprising. I don’t know if you did or not, but it looked like you did. We are very happy with your service and would recommend you to all our friends.
