I thought because Rivercenter Collision is owned by Performance Lexus, that the company would value integrity. It doesn't.
In fact, a situation I will describe sounds like fraud. It did something that appears to me to be defrauding State Farm Insurance.
SUMMARY
Rivercenter Collision accepted an approved estimate and service itemization from State Farm. After that, and without my knowledge, Rivercenter decided to do much less work but charged the same price as the estimate.
The estimate included painting and blending a quarter panel and rear door, as well as replacing the racing stripe.
Not only did Rivercenter not inform me, prior to doing the lesser work, but also the company did not inform State Farm so that my insurance company would decrease the approved cost.
Note, had they needed to do more work, Rivercenter would have issued a supplemental estimate. But because supplemental would have meant less money, Rivercenter purposely did not file one.
Rivercenter mysteriously did less work and suggested popping out a small dent compost as much as a repair and paint job.
Thru failed to notifying as to their divergence rom the estimate until it was competed and during the process of me receiving my car.
Hence, I believe the company defrauded State Farm.
I'm filing documentation, recommending Riverside Collision never be placed in State Farm's preferred vendor list.
I have documentation to prove what happened.
NOTE:
I had this work done 500 miles from where I live, in the Greater Washington DC area. I noted my dispute on their paperwork and my receipt. Any other action would have placed me in a hardship situation as I needed to return home.
DO NOT GO TO THIS COMPANY THAT ENGAGES IN, WHAT I CLEARLY BELIEVE IS, FRAUDULENT PRACTICES. read more
