I would only tell people I didn't like to go to there. So, I gave it 3 because there is a bright side to this. I can use this shop to get back at a few people I don't really like.

Repair Quality

I was rear-ended with damage to my bumper, trunk, one taillight. I went to Tom&Eds in Chesterton for an estimate. I drove my car there and dropped it off. They disassembled my car to do the estimate and then told me my car was totaled out. I asked to pick up my car for a second opinion. They told me that they weren't releasing my car and I couldn't drive my car. I told them I drove my car there so I don't understand why I can't drive my car. They said they get paid to take it apart and they don't get paid to put it back together so its unsafe to drive as of right now. I had to call the State of Indiana to get them to release my car and put it back together. The State told me it was illegal for them to hold your car hostage and if they took it apart to estimate, then it's their responsibility to put it back together. Be careful of their tactics and know your rights before going there. You will no option when your rental car is not paid for, and you have no car to drive because they took it apart. What a great idea! Let take the cars apart so they can't leave, and they have to get the work done. Its genius.

Customer Service

They lied to me several times only to find out by the State of Indiana that they were completely in the wrong. Then dragged their feet to correct their mess.

Excellent job done on the door, my only complaint is that the cover for the battery (which is located in the vehicle behind passenger seat) was left uncovered and was not put back into place.

My Experience

Came to Tom & Ed’s after some body damage was done to my new Jeep. The customer service was excellent and they were great about explaining the process and how best to process everything through the driver at faults insurance. I received a phone call or app update everyday for my vehicle until it was completed. The repair looks perfect and it was even done a day early. I will use them again should I need services in the future.

My Experience

Very good job as always. Thank you Rich Hendricks

Very helpful any time I called, but I never got any contact the other direction. I know it was an insurance claim so there was probably more communication with the insurance company, but I was left in the dark on timeframes or updates unless I called in.

Coming from a background in auto body repair and paint along with custom/hot rod/classic painting, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this shop given the work I had done.

Repair Quality

Absolutely wonderful job, it matches my 9 year old factory paint perfectly from the color down to the texture of the clear, amount, or lack of in this case, orange peel. I would, and will be using them for any future repairs needed. Excellent staff and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Customer Service

No problem with any communications or questions with the estimate, scheduling, tracking, and reporting the current state and expected timeline whenever I wanted to know and updates via text when I wasn't asking.
