I always seek to use independent collision shops to avoid the nickel and diming by insurance companies. Their work is typically better and they don't cut corners with parts and craftmanship. County Line proved to be no exception to this. Bubba and his team were extremely patient while I did battle with State Farm to have the car fixed. It sat, stored in the County Line facility, for weeks while Bubba, the shop owner, and I coordinated with a less-than-willing insurance company. Bubba was patient, thoughtful and a great resource in assisting me with the claim process. Once the actual repairs were underway, the shop was proactive and communicative about any COVID-related parts delays and general timelines for completion. While the timelines were protracted due to the pandemic, my girlfriend and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. The quality of the body and paintwork was excellent. I dare say the car was returned to us looking better than it did before the accident. Bubba and his team even went as far as to take care of some unrelated blemishes on the car to return it to top-notch form. I'd give these guys 6 stars if it were an option.

I was gifted a truck from my elderly father, who only takes his vehicles to this shop and serviced…read moremy truck here. After a couple of months of having the truck, we spent about $4,000 to have a number of things fixed that should not have been nearly as bad: 1. The check engine light came on, because of a failing O2 sensor. This sensor had last been replaced by Salisbury Tire, and they had clearly not put anti-seize on the threads (absolutely necessary). This made it impossible to remove the sensor without also having to replace the catalytic converter, another $1600 on top of an otherwise $40 sensor replacement. 2. Turns out the O2 sensor itself hadn't failed yet, but the issue was from wiring further up. Additionally, the main wiring harness bundle (includes sensors, main power and grounding wires, system-critical stuff) was not properly fastened during a previous repair (also confirmed to have been done by Salisbury Tire), and was instead resting on the EGR pipe (which gets VERY hot). The wires were being melted through slowly, and I'm lucky we caught this issue before it had caused a much worse failure. According to my father, instead of paying for vehicle service each time he takes them in, he pays them a monthly payment. All of his vehicles always have the check engine light on, and they tell him that it "doesn't mean anything, don't worry about it." Years ago, he even had a tire that fell off of one of his cars while he was driving on the road. I have another family friend who also had one of his tires fall off his car after going to Salisbury. They take advantage of my father, who is elderly and therefore does not have the best judgment of who is trying to scam him. This review is so long because it is long overdue. After years of my father going to this shop, my family now refers to any scammy auto shop as a "Salisbury Tire."

Every question and concern I had were answered and explained in detail. Estimate was discussed and final bill was close but actually less than I expected. I initially just dropped by to discuss my needs and made an initial appointment for an annual vehicle inspection. Upon my return visit following their initial inspection I was informed of necessary repairs and estimated cost were discussed. I was offered an appointment a few days later to drop my vehicle off in the evening and the Service advisor called me early the next afternoon reporting repairs were all completed as well as an oil change I requested. When I picked up the car I was informed of an ongoing issue that needs to be paid attention to at this time and told this will require future repair but isn't absolutely necessary at this time. I felt my bill was very reasonable, service was very prompt and my overall experience with this shop was great. I hope to be a regular customer for all my automobile needs and recommend them highly. I would give them more than five stars if it was available
