The paint work was great, the problem is I’m having to take my truck to true line alignment to fix the sway bar that wasn’t replaced and track down where the squeaking and popping is coming from. Unfortunately alignment machines won’t show you a bent sway bar.

Primary concern is quality of work, which appears to be good. There is room for improvement on communication and managing the timeline.

I would also tell them what to watch for. Not having recent repair experience, and not knowing what to ask, I feel like not everything was disclosed.

I am a bit surprised that painting was not included on other parts of the bumper that were affected by the rear-end tap. The only thing that was painted was the piece that was replaced...but it was clear the paint was cracked and peeling on other parts on other pieces.

Customer Service

People are very nice.
