Repair Quality

I took my vehicle in for what I considered to be a minor repair. The repairs included replacing the front bumper and painting the tire fender/flash area. I was told the repairs would be completed in a week, but the process ended up taking approximately a week and 3 days When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, I was disappointed to find that it had not been cleaned or washed. In addition, the repaired bumper appeared to show signs that it may have been a used part rather than the new part I was expecting. I brought these concerns to the attention of the repair facility, and I was asked to bring the vehicle back a few days later so they could correct the issues. I agreed to do so. However, no one contacted me with an update regarding my vehicle. When I eventually called because I needed my vehicle, I was told that it had just been painted and was still drying. This was extremely inconvenient because I needed my vehicle that day to pick up several children and take them to the drive-in. I asked if a loaner vehicle was available, but I was told that I could rent a vehicle, pay a deposit, and receive my deposit back when I returned the rental with a full tank of gas. By that point, it was already time for me to pick up the children, and I did not have enough time to switch vehicles and make the necessary arrangements. As a result, we had to travel to the drive-in in two separate vehicles, which completely disrupted our plans and created an unnecessary inconvenience. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. My concerns are not only with the quality of the repair, but also with the lack of communication and the inconvenience caused by the delays. I expected my vehicle to be properly repaired, cleaned, and ready when promised. I also expected to be kept informed about the status of my vehicle, particularly when additional work was required. I hope management will take this complaint seriously and review how this repair was handled. I would appreciate a response explaining how these issues will be addressed and what can be done to make this situation right.

The work they did was great.

The body work was very good. I’m pleased with the results. The ladies in the office were very nice. When I dropped the car off, the A/C worked great. When I picked it up the A/C did not work at all. I took it to a local mechanic. It was completely void of Freon. They vacuumed and tested the system and could find no leaks. I think that it is a very good possibility that your shop drained the system and neglected to refill it.
