No one is excited about being involved in a vehicle accident. However, I can definitely attest that Chad and Cole were very professional and helpful in the repair of our Coevette. I appreciate the communication that kept us informed of the repair process.

I am disappointed with the quality of the repair performed on my vehicle. The bumper was partially painted, resulting in a noticeable mismatch in gloss and overall finish. As a reputable and highly regarded body shop, I expected adherence to BMW OEM standards and industry best practices. The shop should have identified and raised this concern with Amica prior to completing the repair, rather than waiting for me to discover the issue. This oversight reflects a lack of proper quality control. I appreciate your willingness to reassess the matter and hope it will be corrected to achieve a uniform, factory-quality result.
