I had work done at this body shop many years ago with no issues. However, my recent experience has changed my mind about returning.
Today, I took my autistic son to the barber shop next door for the first time. Unsure about the parking situation, I pulled into an open spot. The owner of the body shop immediately approached me in a very rude and aggressive manner, telling me I couldn't park there. I understood and was fully willing to move my vehicle right away.
What bothered me most was how he continued lecturing me about how people from the barber shop constantly damage his vehicles. While I sympathize with his frustration, his tone and approach were unnecessarily hostile--especially for someone visiting for the first time who had no idea about the parking rules or past issues. I admit I responded in kind due to his rudeness, but he could have handled the situation far more professionally.
After I moved my car, I mentioned it to the barber shop owner, who seemed completely unaware of any ongoing issues with the body shop next door.
Everyone has bad days, but this interaction left a bad taste. I won't be returning for any future work, nor will I recommend this body shop to family or friends. read more
