I've been to your shop many times & this was my first not-great experience.

Repair Quality

The repair itself looks very good. There is a bit of a panel gap on one side of the front hood.

Customer Service

Overall I really like the service. And I greatly appreciated the team trying to find a solution to getting my car back to me before the end of my rental car. However, there was a hiccup where - upon reassembling the car to get back to me by using the old part - the actual part arrived (on a Friday). Instead of informing me or halting the reassembly & rescheduling - they continued reassembling with the old part. When I arrived to pick up my car the following Monday there was a lot of confusion. Ultimately I had to reschedule bringing the car back in and also paying out of pocket for the part switch. While I more-or-less understood what happened, I don't think it was handled properly & left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

One section was not repaired due to a mistake in orders to the insurance company.

Customer Service

I wasn’t told the parts had come in. Just a notice when the car was finished.

Repairs were done professionally. Thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed car before I picked it up. The body work they did looks good as new on my 15 year old car. The primary contact/estimater was pleasant, professional and very detail oriented. I highly recommend them.

Need to see how the incomplete repair is resolved

Repair Quality

The repair job took longer than expected and when I went to pick up the car, I immediately noticed that one of the major work items, replacing a damaged running board, was not done. It was clear that no one had looked to ensure the job was done before telling me to pick up the car. The excuse I got was that the part was damaged and not installed, and the workers never communicated this to management. Nonetheless, management should have checked their work. Now I have to come back in August to get that part of the repair completed, even though it’s been paid for. I have been offered a detail job to try to make up for this inconvenience but the overall level of service doesn’t give me much confidence in European Collision Center.

My only ask would be more proactive communication on timing, particularly if there is a delay. My service person was great but not always easy to get ahold of for information on timing.

The actual repair work was very well done, but the process leading up to it was pretty bad.

Customer Service

Everyone I interacted with was very nice. However, I had issues when it came to making my appointment. First, it took almost three weeks to schedule my repair appointment. When I called to confirm my appointment and ask how long they would need my car, I was told somehow the parts had never been ordered so they couldn't see me that day. Then I was also told they would need my car for three days for the repair. I asked why the car would need to be there for so long as it's a minor repair and we were able to clarify that the car could be done the same day so long as one of the parts was pre-painted. So I rescheduled my appointment and was told I would receive a call to confirm everything beforehand. I never got a call so I called myself to confirm my appointment and was told the parts still weren't there. So we rescheduled again and I was again told I would receive a call to confirm. Again, I received no call. The morning of my appointment, I called to confirm everything and was told again they would need my car for three days. I clarified about pre-painting the part and was then told they could get my car finished and back to me the next day, which didn't work for me as I was anticipating having my car fixed the same day. Eventually, everything was sorted out and I got my car fixed and back to me in one day. But what a headache and it took five weeks to get it all taken care of.

7/10 1) Took too long, ( staff said about a week to fix it but took almost two weeks) 2) the small part of the bumper fell off, I had to come back to fix it next day.

Excellent work. Thorough repair and refinishing. Had to wait for a repair appointment and then wait on parts from the dealership.

Customer Service

Customer Service could have been quicker keeping me appraised of work in progress.
