And that dreaded day came and they were on the list of the insurance. They were very responsive and they told me went to bring my car and they worked on it within the timeframe they set up. It happened I was overseas when they were done and they were nice enough to accommodate me and keep the car there for a week or so till I come back. It was repaired so well even my colleagues at work could not tell it was repaired. The paint quality and the finishing was perfect. They even cleaned it from the inside better than I do myself which was not expected but highly appreciate it. It's not a surprise they have five stars reviews and they are on the list of state farm insurance.

Joe Your accounting…read moreand business have a lot to learn about the client experience Multiple times I have had to drive over to get an answer that could have been avoided by informing me of the status of the vehicles that we have had in the shop. Lying and appeasing clients is the best way to lose trust. You have none. Accounting, WTF...How is it that 6 months after I pick up the vehicle, I get an invoice? I don't know how this is acceptable in any industry. This is not on the insurance company okaying the payment. They deposited the amount into my account on Jan 12. When you were billing me for the Volvo, you realized that you had not invoiced me for the F150, that is why you have not been paid yet. Figure this out! Worst Experience and will not recommend or return for any reason. Nate Mielke

A big thank-you to the team at Hagen's Auto Body for making the process as seamless as possible. A…read morespecial shout-out to Barrett, who was responsive, kind, and easy to work with from my first call, several weeks before I brought my truck in. He's great at what he does, and I truly appreciate his communication and help throughout the process. My request was a little outside the usual repair job. I wanted additional work done as part of an insurance-covered bumper repair, including an aftermarket bumper. Other shops I contacted, including one GEICO directed me to, weren't willing to accommodate the request. I searched for highly rated body shops in Minneapolis, found Hagen's, and I'm glad I called. They were willing to work with me on what I wanted, and they did a great job. If you're considering an aftermarket front or rear bumper alongside body work, give them a call and ask what's possible. I really appreciated their flexibility and willingness to help.

This is the worst experience I have had purchasing and servicing a vehicle. The vehicle they sold…read moreme had the transmission blow out on it within a week. I had it reviewed by a different mechanic, and the Creative Auto told me to tow it to their shop to review it. The tow alone cost over $300, and once they receive it, they told me their "discount" price. Their "discount price" cost more than the full price of the mechanic that originally diagnosed it. What a joke. They won't even buy it back to help us out. We buy multiple vehicles every year for our business, and I was really hoping we had found a good spot to continue doing business. If they can't tell that a transmission is going out on a vehicle they are selling, they can't be trusted to professionally sell or service them.

My 2005 Honda Civic LX Special Edition, which I bought new, may be 21 years old, but I've taken…read moregood care of it. It is mechanically sound, it has only 26,800 miles on the odometer and its factory fire-engine-red paint looks to be unfaded. At age 90, I'm sure it will outlast me I had my first accident earlier this winter, and it was nasty. A chunk of ice left by a snowplow got trapped under my front bumper cover and split it six ways from Sunday. Attached pix show the BEFORE and AFTER left-side split--the right-side damage was twice as bad (sorry, the BEFORE pic won't upload). Two indie body shops would replace the bump cover and paint it for $1,000. As I drove to Oscar Auto Body for a third estimate, I pretty much figured it would come in with a $1K replacement, too. Owner Ramin Hakimi did, but then he suggested another way. He would weld the splits from the underside of the cover and brush-touch the paint. "You'll be able to see the tiny seam where the splits meet," he said,' but the casual observer won't notice any difference." Cost? $370. This plan's potential savings led me to show Ramin some surface damage to my rear bump cover, incurred some time ago when I backed into a brick wall too low to see. He'd take care of this cosmetic damage for $89 (Collision Bonilla wanted $700!). Attached pix shows AFTER. I chose to have both front and rear ends done, and I couldn't be happier with the work done, including the paint match. My choice made Ramin happy, too, because as an environmentalist he hates having to trash big pieces of fiberglass (his shop was one of the first in the city to transition to water-based or low-volatile organic compound (low-VOC) paint). I went to a family gathering last Sunday. I pulled into the driveway behind my brother, a perfectionist mechanical engineer. Walking over to my Civic, he said, "I see you decided to pop for a new bumper cover." Nuff said. Finally, I want to say that I wholeheartedly agree with the many online reviewers who found Ramin extraordinary. He is forthright and will give you his undivided personal attention as well as a more-than-fair price. He did not patronize me as so often happens with women drivers or discount my input because of my advanced age. We all want an honest estimator, and Ramin Hakimi is IT. Re photos, unfortunately I don't have Before pix of right front damage, which had worse bump cover splits than left front. No Before pix of rear either.
