My Experience

I truly appreciate the care that the shop took with my vehicle and the attentiveness with updates relating to my return date. The staff has been so kind, of course no one expects any damage to happen to your vehicle but if something ever happened again, I know the place to go to. I’ll definitely recommend to all my friends and family.

This was my second time coming to Terry’s, and if I am in another accident, hopefully not, I will come again. My car turned out great. And throughout the process, Greta and Glen were always there for me, being professional, knowledgeable and very nice. Greta went above and beyond contacting the Insurance Company multiple times to get approval and feedback to speed things up. Very much appreciated! Thank you!
