Great job. The part took a little while to get in, but I don’t think that was under Hustead’s control.

My Experience

First issue I was quoted a totally different price but received a phone call regarding the bumper thinking the bumper actually needed repair which it didn’t they just buffered the scratch off however I believe because I said I thought I would be paying my full deductible which was $1000 they uped the price of the original quote stating it was because of the part but I don’t see the part being almost $300 more the second issue the lady told me they could do a touch up on my driver door at no cost but that wasn’t done maybe because I refused the over $900 repair I wish I would’ve did more research and found another shop all together. My deductible was $1000 so basically I paid $980 for a headlight and car wash/detail
