Not a chance. Will post negatively on social media as well. Horrible shop and experience.

Repair Quality

Our experience was horrible. The operation is completely disorganized, and while the staff I spoke with were pleasant; the actual process was comical.

Customer Service

Expanding on question # 1, our process was as follows. Vehicle was dropped off on a weekend (office closed). I called to confirm receipt of vehicle. Team member had no idea what I was talking about, and admitted the keys were lost and would need to call me back when found. I never received a call. I called back several hours later; and was given an apology and yes the keys were found. I was then told that they were backed up a bit due to staff out (and holiday) but i would have estimate within a day or two. Again, I did not hear anything for several days. I called back - my vehicle was not yet entered into the system. Tanya had no idea who I was....and again could not find the keys. I called back again hours later...keys were found. Tanya told me that she needed to send me an email to give approval to generate estimate. I never received email. Called back the next day at 9am. At 11am finally received the email, which I approved on December 20th. I was told the car would be done on Jan 3. I was told it was complete - however your state farm adjuster decided to go home early - so no one was there to sign off on the completion and therefore I could not get the car. I was told the car would be ready Monday morning the 6th and would receive a call. Never received call as promised. I called at 230pm for status. I was told that the state farm adjuster was not in and needs to sign off on the vehicle and need paid by State Farm. I stated I need this car, this is between you and SF. Not my problem your adjuster lives an hour away. Around 330 I received a call stating that the car was done but not detailed and detailing would not be done until Tuesday the 7th. I finally stated I need the car, I am waiving the detailing and subsequently we picked up the car at around 4pm on 6th. Bottom line - losing the keys twice. Not entering the car in yoru systems in a timely manner and failing to meet every milestone is in my 57 years the worst experience with a dealership and or collision shop period. I will never come back to your dealership.

After we got the car back, the car overheated first time it was used. We took the car to the shop and they confirmed that the coolant hose was not attached. And they said that this was not put back together properly during the repair. This costs us $280 to get fixed.

The repairs externally are beautiful

Customer Service

Estimating completion time was difficult. A bolt needed to be ordered. Ok. But then the lug nut for the bolt needed to be ordered. Why were they not ordered together?

There is a whistling sound that was there before the repair. Other than that, the car looks better than it probably should at it's age and it looked like you detailed it so I'm very happy with that.
