Quality control was poor. I appreciate that the mechanic topped off the coolant, but then it made it appear that the car was leaking fluids. And I appreciated that the person at the desk when I picked up the car mixed a small container of paint for me; however, it was the wrong color so now the areas I touched up look worse than before.

Repair Quality

On the positive side, everyone was polite and stayed in touch with me about the status of my vehicle repair. Taking away from the perfect rating: (1) The request I put on the website was apparently never seen; (2) Their were boot marks all over the backside of the truck liner; and (3) The vehicle was approved for release, leading us to make a trip to pick it up, when the right muffler was still clearly misaligned. We spoke with the manager on staff, and the issues were fixed the next day. Also, I appreciated the touch up paint until I used it and made my car worse.

Customer Service

Customer service reps were friendly, but twice they relayed info that wasn't correct.

Everything is fine overall. The only issue I have is that the car was delivered in a very dirty condition. For example: There was leftover repair residue, including what appears to be melted plastic that I cannot remove on my own without the proper plastic-safe cleaning products. There were also dirty fingerprints on the front and rear seats, as well as on the seat belts, which have been very difficult to clean. The total repair cost was almost $19,000, so I think they could have spent an extra $50 to have the car professionally cleaned before returning it. It would have made a much better final impression and better reflected the quality of the repair work.

Ideally, your car could be repaired and back to you in one day. But that’s not realistic. I also didn’t take it elsewhere for another estimate. Hence “only” a 9.

My Experience

I am writing to let you know that the repairs on my car have not been fully completed. The back panel of the main screen/monitor is full of scratches from the broken glass from the accident. Furthermore, when tilting or moving the monitor, it makes loud broken glass sounds, which indicates there are broken glass particles inside the back panel behind the screen. These particles need to be removed and the panel repaired. Please note that it is very difficult to see what I am referring to just by looking directly at the monitor screen itself, as the issue is with the back panel, which is black and hard to see the scratches, and the internal components. Could you please let me know when I can bring the car back to show it to you and have this addressed?
