Excellent service from the time I placed my phone call to the time I got there. The receptionist was very helpful and pleasant. My service advisor Nick was excellent I couldn’t ask for any other collision place to repair my vehicle. I was very pleased very happy with the services that was done on my vehicle. I couldn’t even tell the damage. Was there!

I chose direct payment to Phil Thearle's from my insurance company. Amica made payment that day via electronic transfer. My service adviser is (was) Chad but he never heard about the payment received elsewhere in the back office, so we lost a week while we waited for the money that was already there. Then when Chad was out of the office , no one knew about the electronic payments but him (!?) and we waited again and when I asked about the delay, was told that payment hadn't been received but had been in hand for another week until I told someone to go look for it. Oh! it has been paid! This cost me rental car dollars. So I would say that we got all your attention until we signed the contract and not much customer service after that other that the repair itself which is not the topic of this question.

I just recommended them to my neighbor

Everybody was very welcoming and honest. I was kept in the loop of everything being done to my car. There were no surprises. They did a great job repairing my car. I appreciate they work with Enterprise rental car in Santee. I was able to get a free shuttle to Enterprise from their shop and drop my rental car off at their shop when my car was done.

I have no idea. The car isn’t finished yet, however, I’ve been getting spammed with your surveys for a couple of weeks. I hope your quality control in the shop is better than your administration and marketing.
