Sands Collision repair had my vehicle for 2 weeks for a minor repair, Taillight replacement and a small dent. I made sure when I dropped off ( on the 18th of Oct) that #1 they had the parts in stock & #2 that I needed the vehicle back in a week. I was assured it would done. When I asked the following week if my vehicle was done, they told me they hadn’t started it. They didn’t start the repair till the middle of the 2nd week. When I picked up the vehicle on the Nov 1st, it was delivered back to me with new tail light with the old broken bulb and was not functioning properly also a left rear fender guard missing.

Customer Service

Made several calls with promises of a return call that never happened.

Thank you for being so professional and making sure that I was informed of everything. At first It was Troy G. and then it got switched to Lucas A. I really recommend Sands Collision.

Repair took longer than expected. I had to pay out of pocket car rental for four days. Repair required 34 days and insurance only covered 30 days of car rental.

Repair looks great! They know what they're doing. However, the communication is not good. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend Sands. I also wouldn't tell people not to go here.

The repair looks great! The customer service not so much.

Customer Service

Around 1:30pm on a Friday, Marcel from the Glendale location called and let me know my truck was ready and on it's way to the Surprise location. I was told the Surprise location would contact me when the truck arrived to schedule an Uber to come pick me up. I called the surprise office to see what time the service department was open until and I was told 6pm, same as listed on the website. When I hadn't heard from anyone around 4:30pm, I called Marcel back. He placed me on hold while he called the Surprise office. When he came back on the line with me, he told me that the truck was just dropped off and at the Surprise location. He also said someone would be calling me shortly to schedule the Uber pick up. At 5:30pm, there was still no contact made by anyone reaching out to me. I called Surprise, or tried to and was told the service department was closed. This mad me super mad so I tried to call Marcel. I was told he had left for the day. This all occurred on a Friday. The truck was originally scheduled to be done on Saturday. I wish they would have just not called and told me it was "ready" when it wasn't. I spent my entire Friday afternoon sitting around waiting on a call that never came. Rude and inconsiderate. Glad the staff all got to leave early and enjoy their weekends, but made my weekend get off to a really rough start. I do appreciate Ashley. I spoke to her at the end of all of this. She was able to get things in order for my husband to be notified to pick up the truck early the next morning as I was leaving early to fly out of town.

My Experience

They did a great job repairing my truck and Marcel was great to deal with. It was a good experience!!!

My Experience

It was a wonderful experience with Sands. Lucas called me several times to update me on their progress. He is the best! Jim D. Was great too! All in all a great experience!

Everything was handled in a timely and professional manner. Lucas was fantastic as he kept me updated on the status of my vehicle and actually prioritized my car to have it fixed ahead of schedule. Jim from the Sands car dealer in Surprise who did the estimate was awesome as well! Overall a great experience!

My Experience

We recently had the pleasure of working with Marcel at Sands Auto Collision, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment we dropped off our car, Marcel's communication was top-notch—clear, timely, and always professional. He kept us informed every step of the way, which gave us peace of mind throughout the entire process. What truly set Marcel apart was his exceptional customer service. He went above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled smoothly and that we were completely satisfied. In a time when excellent customer service often feels like a thing of the past, it's incredibly reassuring to know that it still exists in places like Sands Auto Collision. Marcel's dedication and care made all the difference, and we highly recommend him and the entire team for their outstanding work.

I’d give a 9+ on quality and a 7- on service to a friend or family.

Quality of work and paint is great. Unfortunately, extremely slow . Took 21 days from drop off to pickup

Customer Service

I had three completion promises. All hinged on finalizing paint with varying excuses. I made multiple calls for info and was generally stonewalled. I did appreciate the offer of $200 off my deductible. However, slow service resulted in estimate of additional $800 in car rental fee.

My Experience

Can’t complain at all. Great service, great communication and very satisfied. Car looks great and was clean as can be when we picked it up. Thank you again!

Do you read your reviews? I have received multiple texts and emails. Sands has been awesome with their services. Now I’m getting annoyed.
