My Experience

The repair itself is beautiful. The claim process was not. My car was hit in the front end on a Sunday. As the accident was in a private lot there was no onsight investigation or inspection of my vehicle. When I left the parking lot, I felt a shimmy & heard a thumping sound coming from the front of the vehicle. I pulled into the nearest open automotive establishment, an oil change place, and had them look at the car. They could not see any damages that would make the car unsafe. I had to drive back to Nelson’s on Tuesday for the estimate. I again told the estimator, Noah, there was a strange sound coming from the front of the car & a shimmy in the wheel like I was driving on a flat. He taped the license plate holder down & said it was likely a cover under the car that had come loose and sent me back home. I got back to Airway Heights & the tire fell off the car making it totally undriveable. When I got back to the shop, I was told they had a photo taken by Noah, that showed the tire was missing lug nuts. My dissatisfaction stems from not being told the car was missing lug nuts & thus in danger of loosing the tire. Secondly, the repair was delayed at least twice. I understand that there are shipping delays and the shop has no control over that. However, it’s frustrating that I was told there would be no problem with the rental coverage and yet, when I dropped the rental off on Monday, I had to pay an additional $186.31 out of pocket to clear the rental coverage. Communication would have been appreciated. Also on the day the my repair was completed, I had to initiate communication to find out if would be done that day. Again communication would have been helpful.

I would never put my family, friends or neighbors through working with Nelson’s. Shameful company.

Parts were damaged so they would “fit”

Customer Service

Absolutely abhorrent customer service. Verbally abusive management, dishonest and combative staff. Dave refused to let me speak with his boss, the company’s president. I had to reach out to my insurance company to start an investigation

Very well done work. Melissa was AMAZING to work with and so good at communicating. Project ran a few days long and she kept me up to date and apologized for the delay even though these things happen. Can't even tell there was any damage!

Repair Quality

It took over a month to get my car back and My car isn't completely repaired. There is definitely something wrong with the engine transmission ect. I don't even think it was taken for a test drive or you would've noticed it doesn't want to shift in gear then when it does it makes a loud noise. It takes off slow then lags then goes super fast without me pressing on the gas pedal. I called and couldn't get an appointment for a week later and you want to keep my only car overnight. I was already out of this car for over a month for you to not fix it properly.
