My Experience

Was not ready on Friday as expected and so I incurred 3extra days of car rental —nearly an extra $200

My Experience

Everyone that works at Terry’s Auto Body that I came in contact with was extremely friendly and very professional. Whoever worked on the truck did a phenomenal job! Can’t tell it was ever in an accident! If I ever get hit again, I’ll be sure to bring my truck back to Terry’s Auto Body repair!!

We've used Terry's Auto Body and Paint at least 3-4 times and each time the vehicle came out perfect. The service dept kept us in the loop every step of the way.

The staff was very friendly, and the work was done on time. My car was very clean when I picked it up. My only complaint is that when I brought the car in to get an estimate, the service guy said he would keep some paint for a similar car they were finishing up to touch up areas on the bumper. When I picked up the car, I was told it was not done because they did not have paint.
