Frank did a really good job from beginning (initial walkthrough assessment of my car's damage), getting an estimate put together all the way through to the completion of the work. He communicated the status of the repairs and provided a heads up on potential delays from the initially estimated time of completion. He is very knowledgeable and professional, and answered all my questions honestly and I especially appreciated his patience with me! I give him kudos, as well as your staff that did a great job with my car repairs

My Experience

Repair Quality

Customer Service is definitely a 10! Eddie is awesome & accommodating! Eddie did a great job making the hassle of having to deal with insurance & the whole experience very easy. I gave a 9 rating because the location could be better; getting in & out of their location can be difficult and although they did do a great job with my vehicle with a fast turn around, I do have to return for a touch up...maybe too fast of a turn around, but overall super happy with them!

Second repair visit- the first years ago, the second now.Both notable in terms of efficacy and attention to detail. Pleasant interaction with manager Eddie Banos. Lucid explanations relevant to repairs. Eddie could sell ice cream to Eskimos! Totally impressive. Dr Alfred G Buchanan

Frank was great and very attentive. He was very professional, he prepared all paperwork and submitted to the insurance in a timely manner. He also set up the appointment for the repairs and they were taken care of rather quickly. Very satisfied with all the service of 1st Collision, office staff and especially Frank for his professionalism. They were friendly attentive and informative. Very satisfied.
