Hope to hear from you soon

Only problem I have is with how the paint did not match. My car is less than a year old and it is fairly noticable looking from the side that it was wrecked and now and has a new rear end. I talked with the boss and he said we would schedule a date for him to try and make the paint match a little better but still have not heard anything from him on a date.

Customer Service

Everything besides the paint job was great, just waiting on a date to get a re paint

Overall satisfied with customer service. There were times it was hard to get through via phone call, I never received text updates, and there was a breakdown of communication when repairs got delayed

There were light indicators on the dash that had to do with Automatic bright lights, lane keeping assist, front collision alert system and the blind spot awareness for the side mirrors. I bought a new mirror so the blind spot awareness works now but I still have all the other indicators still in the dash. On the paperwork, you did diagnostic checks pre and post work so I don’t know why this wasn’t addressed or clarified on when I picked it up. None of these indicators were on prior to my accident. I don’t know if the issue is simply plugging into a computer to reset the system but again, I don’t know why this wasnt addressed when you did a diagnostic check. I plan on calling this week to talk to someone about it and see if next time I’m in Columbia that I can drop it off so you all can check what’s going on. The door and everything else that was wrong with my car is perfect and no problems, the paint job looks amazing. The only issue is all the indicators still in my dash so that’s why I gave it 7/8 out of 10 instead of 10/10.

Customer Service

Lady at the front was amazing.

My Experience

Although the repairs took a bit longer than we anticipated due to unavailability of some parts, they were completed expeditiously. We were kept informed almost daily about the progress and notified quickly when our car was ready to be delivered. We would definitely recommend Schaefer Autobody to anyone needing repair work. Our experience was very positive.
