I was hesitant to leave it 75 miles from my home town and had thoughts over the weekend to have it towed locally for repair. Not familiar with Columbia I Googled and Yelped Carolina Paint and Body for reviews and saw they had several mostly good or excellent and that made me feel better about having them do the repairs. I called and talked to Roger and he said they would get me an estimate done and get back with me. I think they called the next day and they explained the process and all the parts needed and gave me an estimated date for completion. Roger was in constant contact with me usually calling every Monday and Friday with an update. They were finished the repairs earlier than estimated but ran into a problem that required the Ford dealership's computer. That dealership's process took a few more days but was needed to complete the repairs. Roger worked with my insurance company and handle all the paperwork I only had to pay my deductible when picking up the car. All said and done, the repairs turned out flawless and I'm 100% satisfied with all the workmanship, parts and communication and would certainly would recommend Carolina Paint and Body to anyone looking for professional collision repair.

It wasn't huge but it was in a difficult location so that a repair was preferred over replacing the whole frame. The first place I called estimated ~$700 and would take a week or more just to get an appointment. Another place had a similar story. This body shop was quick with an estimate, well below the competition, courteous, and fast. Finding the right place for a car repair like this takes knowing the right people. Consider yourself informed that this is the place to go.

When I picked it up, I opened the back hatch to find white dust covering the carpeted area and every interior service. I was told "it would just wipe up". Two hours of cleaning and still finding more. On further inspection, over spray red paint on my black bumper, residue I couldn't remove on panels and inside light cover. Brought the car back in, cleaned off the residue and paint, but left my front leather seat covered in white dust. Sloppy, sloppy work! The person I was working with told me that she "was just so busy with the holiday and other things." Really! I am the customer. Without me you wouldn't be in business. Everyone is busy, and July 4th was over a week ago. What does that have to do with delivering a good product? Never Gerber again!

The owner exclaimed that it's basically his prerogative to arbitrarily OVERCHARGE for labor and I was obligated to pay, because I agreed to them doing the work. Quote: "I DON'T CARE IF IT TOOK 5 - 10 MINS IT'S WHAT I CHARGED...AND IT'S WHATS YOU'RE GONNA PAY!" I was charged an extra $195.00 for 3 hours of labor on a 30 minute job! They DID NOT do what they CLAIMED was required. I HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE MY CLAIM. Definitive proof!!! THEY LIED TO MY FACE! The owner cursed...referring to me as an EPITHET while I was trying to get him to listen to my concerns!! He threatened to charge me for daily storage of my vehicle if I did not pay the exorbitant bill!!! I was INTIMIDATED and COERCED into paying TWICE the amount of what I was quoted while they held my vehicle hostage! I wonder how many other people are being unknowingly charged for work that's NOT ACTUALLY BEING DONE! I was reassured by a number of professions that the job was VERY simple and would only take minutes - NOT 3 HOURS!!! I also watched SEVERAL videos demonstrating the process which INFURIATED me after seeing how simple the process was! I was led to believe that their technicians had to endure 3 hours of tedious work to complete the job! When I brought this discrepancy to their attention, their kindness and courtesy turned fury and distain! I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! I was treated horribly! Please make sure to ask for all your old parts and copies of purchase orders for all new parts! Take pictures of everything!
