Let me just say this was an absolutely horrible experience from start to finish. I don't want to…read moreexaggerate or be dramatic, but I want to strongly encourage you to take your business elsewhere. If you're already dealing with the stress of a car accident, the last thing you need is a shop that adds more stress, confusion, and pressure to an already difficult time. Here's exactly what happened: I chose Hugh's Body Shop after getting several quotes. On the surface, their shop looked clean and professional, and although they were the most expensive, I figured quality would justify the price. Unfortunately, that assumption could not have been more wrong. From the beginning, I explained clearly that I wanted to keep costs down by handling all the interior work myself -- things like reinstalling the seats, airbags, seat belts, and trim. I only needed them to handle the door and corner of the cab. The quote I was given was high but still within reason, so I agreed and scheduled a drop-off date about a month out. After dropping off my truck, communication and timelines completely fell apart. A job that was supposed to take a couple of weeks turned into months. Every time I checked in, I was told "just a little longer," but progress was always delayed. When I finally went to pick up my truck, I was shocked to find a significant upcharge added to the original agreed-upon price. When I questioned it, Jared reviewed the charges and admitted to me that I had a point -- so he initially agreed I could pay the original quoted amount. But when I handed him the check, he refused to give me my keys unless I paid the extra balance. That kind of behavior -- holding my property until I paid more than we agreed on -- felt like bullying and intimidation. I was stunned and just wanted my vehicle back, so I reluctantly paid the additional amount. The justification for the extra charge was "additional frame time." But I had personally measured and photographed my truck's frame before leaving it with them, and when I got it back, nothing was different except a bit of spray paint. On top of that, there were new issues with my truck that were not part of the original damage. Jared told me in person that he'd fix those, but when I followed up by phone, he refused. This experience left me extremely disappointed and concerned for others. What looks like a reputable business seems to be run by someone unprofessional, dishonest, and unwilling to stand by their word. Please -- learn from my mistake. There are plenty of honest, competent shops out there. I truly regret trusting Hugh's Body Shop with my vehicle.

Bumper looked good but a considerable amount of overspray was on hood and front windshield. They also scraped the rear quarter panel pulling vehicle out of paint booth. I removed overspray from front windshield myself and returned vehicle to Maaco to have hood properly cleaned and buffed. Told them not to worry about the scrape on panel. Waited entire day to pick up. After arriving home noticed the entire vehicle had white overspray on all panels and all windows. Returned car a 3rd time to clean and buff entire car. Absolute nightmare. They did not clean nor buff passenger side panels or windows at all. The driver side panels they did buff were left scored and a spot on the roof was buffed down to the undercoat. White dusty shoe prints were left in interior of vehicle. Every time they tried to repair one thing they caused damage somewhere else. Now the entire car looks worse now than before taking it to them. Will call their corporate office and file a complaint with BBB. Will also contact insurance company concerning damage to side panel since they want to take advantage of their customers. Was told by employee there is no way to avoid the over spraying. Like they never heard of exhaust fans. Do not go there. They all should be fired and business shut down. I will never hire them for anything in the future. I could have removed bumper and taken it to them If I knew they do this sorry of a job. Awful!!!!

Found this company after calling many others (for about 2-3 hours) and no one could get to us in a timely manner. It was a Saturday about 4 pm. Others said they couldn't help until 1 am or the next day (Love's and TA). It's unsafe to be on the side of the road that long, needless to say. Our knight in shining armor's name was Andrew. He came, changed the hose and refilled antifreeze, and he made sure everything was done quickly (half hour) and thoroughly. Got us back on the road by 9 pm. He was knowledgeable, confident, polite, friendly and had empathy. Billing process was easy and quick. Received a printed invoice right there on the spot. It would be great if all places operated as efficient. Absolutely outstanding service from Andrew from Excel.
