I will never use this place again.
I used this place because it was recommended by the insurance company paying for the repairs. I don't have a favorite place since my previous favorite place closed. I got my estimate, scheduled my repair, received my phone call reminder for my repair, no problems. Front driver side bumper cover was damaged.
My repair was supposed to be a one day repair. I dropped the car on a Monday, and even confirmed with the front desk gal that I would be back around 5:30 to pick up the car. All was smiles and happy times, no problems.
When I arrived to pick up the car, I was informed that "this was always a 3 day repair" by the guy that I'm assuming was the manager because the front desk gal didn't have anything to say to me except that my car wasn't ready. He had some stumbled excuse about additional damage but he couldn't tell me what additional damage. All their techs were gone and my car was disassembled and undriveable. I was supposed to get a phone call the next morning detailing the damage, but that phone call never happened. He also had no explanation for why I was not contacted once the repair was not going to be ready or why the front desk girl confirmed that I would pick up the car today if it was "always a 3 day repair".
I was quickly able to get a rental car - at this point everything is closing in like 20 min. thank you enterprise for coming through.
I get no phone calls about anything. Wednesday I call to confirm that my car will be ready. I spend a long time on hold, twice, only to be told that it will not be ready until at least Friday. They can't even guarantee Friday, it likely won't be ready until next week. I inform them that I need my car, I am scheduled to travel out of state for a week on Saturday. They insist, likely next week.
I contacted the insurance company, somehow like magic my car was ready Thursday. Guess the insurance didn't want to pay out for a full extra week of rental fees so that I could take the rental on vacation out of state.
When I got my car back, it seemed to have a lot of miles on it...but since the mileage listed on the intake form was the mileage from my estimate and not the mileage from the day I dropped it off, it's impossible for me to be certain since I didn't record that myself - I should have, lesson learned.
My car also came back with a really nice golf size umbrella that I don't own and have never owned. All of the stuff from the hatchback area of my car was moved to the back seat and rifled through. I'm not sure who was driving my car while it was getting repaired, but this shop is sketchy and unprofessional and doesn't communicate at all. It's a major hassle to get any kind of update on your repair and I have no doubt that they would have kept my car much longer if it weren't for the intervention of the insurance company.
I hope the repairs hold up because I would rather pay someone else to fix them than bother with taking my car here even under warranty. read more
