My 3 month old Subaru was hit by a reckless driver, damaging the front bumper. I took her to Phil's and when I got her back you could not tell any damage had ever been done. She is as good as when I bought her off the truck. The team here was also great at communicating during the process and did not leave me waiting and wondering.

I understand I am a very particular client that has extremely knit-picky expectations, so when those aren't met 100%, I feel let down. That being said, the quality of the paint job is extremely well done and based on that I would highly recommend PTA to friends.

There was some very slight white debris near the exhaust outlet which wiped off, it could have been left from the car wash, but was worrying that it was a paint blemish.

I had asked when speaking to the initial assessor that the headlights be covered while waiting for parts, when arriving 2 days after dropping off the car, they were still not covered and then we asked Cole to cover them as they hadn't been. They were fine upon picking up the car, so we assume they were in fact covered as it rained a lot while the car was being worked on. -- Also, there was a miscommunication when replacing the bumper. I misunderstood that the license plate light assembly was being replaced as it was not damaged. In replacing the assembly, 2 aftermarket LED lights purchased (and still functional) were scrapped with the old replaced bumper, and unable to be retrieved before delivery.

At least once I called and left a message that was not returned within 1 business day. I was quoted multiple time frames for the completion of my car repair which may not have been solely the fault of the shop, but was still a point of frustration.
