Timeliness is a recurring positive, with numerous customers receiving their vehicles ahead of schedule. The complimentary detailing service receives enthusiastic appreciation.

Already told a lot of family our great experience with Pete’s and they said if something happened to their vehicles they are bringing their vehicles to Pete’s!

Looks even better than before the accident!

I wish I could give it a 20/10! Pete’s went above and beyond dealing with insurance to ensure my car was taken care of the way it should be. Insurance tried to deny a part of the vehicle and the owner was on the phone with insurance to make sure I didn’t have to stress about anything. You don't see that many places! Pete’s will forever have my families business!

Ryan (Toyota owner) reviewed 7/2/26

The repair of the deer damage looks good as well as the bed liner but there seemed to be a spot on the outside of tailgate that got bed liner on it that I did not notice until about a week later

Very friendly

Normally it's not possible for an auto body shop to provide an accurate estimate over the phone because they will need to inspect the vehicle for hidden structural damage.
