Took car to Dave at Avon and he said no problem dealing with parts thru EBay. First part arrived and had been damaged in shipping and Dave returned and found another fender on EBay. That worked out and the repair work was done with great care. Cannot say enough about their work ethic and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

I can not say enough good things about Skagit Grand Central - from my first call to them after my…read morecar was hit by a semi to the drop off process to how nice the location was kept to the update calls along the way - everyone was professional, helpful & so friendly. As for their workmanship, my car looked perfect after the repairs - plus they detailed the interior & removed a stain in the seat upholstery that had nothing to do with the accident!! And, even with needing parts ordered, from drop off to pick up was only ten days!! They also worked so well with my insurance company. If you ever find yourself in need of auto body repair, I highly recommend trusting them with your vehicles!!

Within an hour of taking it in for an estimate they had it worked out with my insurance company and called me to make the appointment. Minimal downtime as Francisco ordered the parts ahead of time (I needed a new door plus body work). I took it in on a Monday afternoon and Francisco called me with updates along the way. It was ready Thursday (3 days!) They even cleaned/vacuumed it out for me (it was a real mess!). Additionally, since I needed to pay out of pocket for a new windshield, Francisco let me arrange to have a local company put in the windshield while it was at their shop, so I wasn't further inconvenienced. I'm very happy with the service I received at Skagit Grand Central Collision!

The staff at BOR were very receptive and responsive to my needs and arranged to replace my converters. Unfortunately, after all their hard work my check engine light came back. It turns out that when BOR discussed my repair options I opted for the cheap route and asked them to buy aftermarket converters. When I came back they found an exhaust leak and fixed that, and the light came back a second time I relented and asked them to get OEM converters. The OEM converters fixed the problem and my pickup is running great again! I have nothing but praise for how BOR worked with me, accommodated all my choices, and bent over backwards to help me get my truck working.

Better Off-Road? More Like Better Off Somewhere Else…read more I brought my 2002 Suburban Z71 to Better Off-Road with a clear, detailed diagnostic summary--11 specific issues, complete with history, symptoms, and codes. I gave them every benefit of the doubt. What I got in return was a $10,000 engine replacement estimate and a lazy guess. After eight full days of silence, they finally looked at the truck and performed a basic compression test. They found low readings on two cylinders and immediately recommended a full engine swap. No leak-down test. No spark plug inspection. No timing verification. Just a vague shrug and a five-figure solution. Here's the kicker: * They performed the wrong test first * Then charged again to do the right one * That's double billing for diagnostic failure A leak-down test is the industry standard when compression is low--it tells you why it's low. They didn't perform one until I hounded them. That's not oversight. That's negligence. When I finally arranged a tow to get it out of there on October 22, they refused to release the vehicle until I paid. Fair enough--but their phones were "offline for two days," yet their voicemail worked. Convenient. Then they charged me a 3% fee for using a Visa card. That's not standard. That's gouging. The technician who texted me couldn't write a coherent sentence. His diagnosis read like a fifth-grade book report. I wouldn't trust this shop to change a bicycle tire, let alone diagnose a complex engine issue. Bottom line: * They ignored a detailed diagnostic roadmap * They charged for incomplete diagnostics * They double-billed for doing it right * They stalled communication for eight days * They misrepresented fees * They showed zero professionalism I paid the bill because I honor my commitments. But they didn't honor theirs. I'll never go back--and I hope no one else does either. --David W. Klieman

Auto detailing is not a highly competitive business around here. I can only surmise that is why…read morethese guys charge a premium price and do just an OK job. Yes, I was spoiled during years of living in SoCal where auto detailing is an art widely, and competitively practiced. The basics were done OK: wash, polish, wax, steam clean interior. But the paint touch-up was not a great match. And when I got home I found a plastic trim item loose and had to fix it. The rubber at the bottom of one window was not as clean as the others. They removed the rubber bottoms of a couple of cup holders and did not replace them. None of this is awful, but for $370 to detail, buff headlight covers and touch up paint, I expected better service.

The small dents are gone, like they never existed. The larger dent is slightly still visible but I was hit hard, so I understand that it could be difficult to even out 100%. It's unnoticeable to others. The price was decent. I'd take my vehicle there again if I ever get a ding.

They did a good job I thought by looking at it. After returning home I found glass throughout my car and now every time I open the hatch small pieces of glass can be heard rattling around.

Apparently they double charged for much of the labor and wouldn't submit any paperwork my insurance company asked for so my insurance wouldn't reimburse me for the work done.

They then charged me to replace it for $120! I was quoted $42 last year. I was clearly overcharged. It's a two piece cap that snaps together. Charged me for each side!! Thru didn't rotate my tires. They wouldn't help at all. I wanted a $60.99 refund for not defining the part was two part. So stupid. You can't have one side and not the other. These guys aren't even open on the weekends!! I don't know how they stay in business. It was a 30,000 mile check up!! So I called on a Monday to complain. I was told Nicholas would research it and get back to me. Exactly 5 days later no phone call back and they are closed till Monday. So I called back the next Monday and were given the run around about one part being sold as two separate pieces. They are crazy. I'm very disappointed and won't buy my nest Volkswagen there!!
