the repairs are fine.

Customer Service

This shop had my car for over a month. They kept giving us the runaround and pushing thr date back. 2 weeks just to paint it. Another week when all that was left was an alignment. It was an absolute nightmare and I will never do business with them again.

Likely to Recommend

Jose and his team were great and I would use them again.

I would go out of my way to have people not go there. We are business owners and this was a terrible experience. We use them because Kemper listed them as one of their preferred so we thought it would make the process easier. It was the opposite.

Bad communication, not the best attitude. Did not feel like anywhere close to a priority.

Hi you guys . I have opened up 3 claims to get me truck repaired and the shop you guys sent me to did a terrible job . I already paid the 3 deductibles . 1. Bumper sticks out on driver side not flush as passenger side 2. Plastic Moulding on front driver fender had broken clip 3. Driver side front light cover is not clipped on correctly 4. Electrical driver side step end cap did not get repaired 5. Spare Lock insert is not aligned with tube guide to be able to access my spare tire and wire is hanging. ( they did not put it back correctly after they put the bed of the trick back on 6. And lastly my battery is drained . Was not charged previously before I was advised I can pick it up . Was left stranded because it would not start . It’s been terrible at this shop . Please advise on another shop I can take this too to get repaired correctly. I would like to get the frame inspected also since the number does not sit correctly on my truck . Please give me a call on how to proceed with repairs

I oversee a fleet of cars for my job and deal with damage often, I will always bring my cars here! The repairs make the cars look like new again and their communication is great! Jorge updated me every step of the process and the cost was broken down and explained to me.
