No, other shops would do this service just as well for half the price in a fraction of the time.

Felt ripped off on price, communication on the status of my vehicle was poor, and it took far longer than estimated and what it should be for this type of repair.

We had to take the car back multiple times for additional repairs that were missed. Our muffler did not sound right after the accident. They gave it back to us with the same noise issue. We had to bring it back and they then realized they had not replaced an additional seal which then corrected the issue after replacement. We then noticed our rear windshield wiper did not work so we had to bring it back again because apparently this was not something they ever checked even though there was considerable damage to the rear of the vehicle. We now have noticed the attached the internal handle to close our trunk in the reverse direction but I’m not wasting any more time with that place. They were always friendly but I question the thoroughness of the technicians with how many simple things were missed especially when they originally had the car for over a week waiting for one part to arrive. Hard to trust the repairs in general because of simple mistakes
