I picked the SUV up and it sounded like it did not have a muffler! I then had to reach out to the at fault party's insurance who stated I had to bring the SUV back to the people who did a half ass job after picking it up and the engine roaring when starting or stepping on the accelerator. They said the Caddie SUV sounding like a 1989 Honda Civic with glass packs had nothing to do with the wreck, stating it is just normal wear and tear on the car. I lost all faith in the shop. After 4 hours of driving to different mechanics, the new mechanic stated that being rear ended absolutely caused the issues mentioned above! The techs at Collision Connection Auto Body did half hearted work. I believe in helping mom and pops shops, but don't waste your time. They will do the bare minimum and not do the right thing when no one is looking. Very frustrated and disappointed.

Not only did they help us well past 5:00 on a Friday - they charged a reason price, checked the rest of our tires and filled up the spare (it was flat too!).

The manager dude there (Who I assume is Gabe Strada, the guy who owns the place?) was incredibly nice, and took me out to the shop to show me everything wrong with the car that they were going to replace before doing any work on it. This sort of thing is ultra-reassuring, as I basically walked in there and was like, "I've got no idea what's wrong, my mom says it makes noise on the rear passenger side." They could've gone wild telling me stuff was bad and needed to be replaced, and I'd never have known. Instead, they re-used as much as they could, replaced what couldn't be salvaged, and I was off and on my way. Originally I was a little weary when I took the car in, as they told me they were just going to check the whole car when I started explaining the problem. Usually, you go somewhere that "checks everything" and you walk out with more problems than you came in with. Not the case here, they noted the AC wasn't working, and I was like "Oh, yeah, I don't think it's ever worked." Gabe (I think?) asked if I wanted to risk $20 to try to fix it, and threw a can of freon in just to see what'd happen. Sure enough, ice cold AC. I seriously just love shops like this that have that kind of attitude of "Hey, this isn't working, let's try a super simple fix that doesn't cost much, and see what happens." Again, that's another repair that they probably could've sold me on a new compressor or who knows what else. Overall, a totally pleasant surprise, and I'll be going back to them as long as they're open. How often can you say you took your car to a mechanic and they fixed your problem way faster than you expected for a fraction of what you were thinking you'd have to pay? For me, this is definitely a first.

This is breaking the law. After a month of waiting, he gave the money back. I do not recommend. Steer clear of this place.

The car was in a horrific state after being flooded during the storm…read more The customer service was just excellent. I had my car detailed after flooding from a recent storm. The job was not perfect but they did a good job with cleaning for the pricey detailing they charged me. The water continued flowing in even after the detailing. Pretty much everything was moved around and not put back in place. The steering wheel, the cup holder, the rearview mirrors. Initially when I turned my car on I got an red screen of death, but fortunately, after I adjusted the steering wheel back in position, it cleared off and got back to normal. My driving glasses disappeared, some items were broken in the process of cleaning. They threw away my wet towels that I was using to clean out the water and some other items which I wasn't too pleased with. It could have been put in a plastic bag instead of taking the liberty to throw away. The garage wasn't exactly near me in the 60626 neighborhood which was a hassle to get to and back. Many of the causes were obviously from the water flooding. Either way, it was cleaned enough to at least get me dried out from the flooding. In the long run I've been happy to be in a clean car.
