The team at the body shop was first class. Gage and Brian were always helpful, polite and thorough on the phone. There were delays due to parts availability, but we they were prompt once received. First class, a rare thing on today's world. Great team!

Brian was wonderful to work with! He was precise and clear about what was being done on my Cadillac. He kept me updated each week.

Very pleased with the whole process from initial contact to finished product.

Repair Quality

We were very satisfied with the entire process of having our car repaired at Kerns. It was a pleasure working with Bryon. Bryan asked a lot of upfront questions to understand our wishes for the repair; gave us a fair quote for the work; recommended a rental car place; called us frequently with updates; finished ahead of schedule and with a final price less than the quote. Workmanship was very good.

Customer Service

Bryon was very good through the whole process. (See previous notes)
