Because of the communication difficulties I would not be likely to do so.

The work seems to have been done very well.

Customer Service

It was a very difficult process to schedule the appointment for my car. The insurance company and the garage could not seem to communicate with each other. It took a week for the written estimate to reach the insurance company. It was not easy at all.

My Experience

Your employees are consistently nice, accommodating and professional. Your text updates are very helpful in managing expectations and letting Enterprise know when I’ll be picking up and returning the rental car. Your relationship with Enterprise makes the whole rental process a lot easier.

I think what differentiates Turnpike is the constant communication, keeping the customer informed of where the car is in the repair process. Very good at managing expectations and letting me plan for when to pick my car up. The work was gone just as they said it would be.

Customer Service

I feel the customer service at Turnpike is what sets you apart from other collision businesses. Phone calls and texts keeping me well informed of the progress of my car. And the staff at the front desk are always friendly, helpful and professional.
