    I'm relieved that I finally sold my car, which had extensive work done by Tan Auto. Working with a body shop that's supposed to perform $20k worth of repairs but provides almost no communication--unless you initiate it--was beyond frustrating. When I first dropped off my car, I was assured that the ceramic coating and scratch-free paint would be untouched. However, when I picked it up, I was horrified to see that their technician had used a buffer, leaving swirl marks all over the paint. Every angle revealed new imperfections. Despite Tan Auto claiming the car was ready for pickup, I immediately noticed over 10 issues that still needed attention. This turned into months of repeatedly bringing the car back, only to have more sloppy, inadequate fixes. For instance, when my side skirt was scratched by their team, they attempted to cover it up with textured spray paint instead of properly repairing it. This lack of accountability was truly disappointing. He even failed to repair my knuckle that was blatantly broken in the rear and when I took my car into the dealer they had to notice it and saw the rest of the botched work. His frame "repair" was barely done but he still charged on the estimate that he replaced the portion of damaged frame and took out my dash to do it. When I brought this up they said they would fix it but after asking so many times I even gave up. In an attempt to correct the swirl marks, they buffed the car again x2 but left polish residue all over the plastic trim, which is notoriously difficult to remove and nearly impossible to restore to its original look. When I raised these issues with Tan and his staff, he denied responsibility, claiming he'd never do that--even though I had a video documenting the car's condition before I brought it back. Ultimately, I had to return the car to Tan Auto more than 10 times for fixes to problems they created, including mismatched paint, loose bolts, additional scratches, and rattling noises. The lack of accountability and attention to detail was unbelievable. At this point, I'd rather have totaled my car than go through this ordeal again.

Our vehicle had a broken hood, damaged fenders, and complex engine issues, but they far exceeded our expectations.The very quick response and quality of their mechanical and body work is absolutely excellent--everything looks and runs perfectly. On top of tackling both heavy collision and engine repairs, their pricing was very reasonable, and the turnaround time was incredibly quick. If you are on the fence about a mechanic or body shop service handling extensive damage, trust R&R. They are professional, efficient, and do top-tier work right at your convenience!

They were available to come out immediately. Despite later always being too busy to finish their work. 2.) The amount they quoted on the phone was doubled when they came onsite. $450 to $900 3.) They didn't ask for a paint code before starting work. 4.) They only took payment in forms that can't be refunded, like venmo and zelle. My complaints with the work: They used a plain black paint on a car that has a black with metal flecks. The difference in color is obvious. They didnt resolve all dents we discussed. They said they would come back within the next couple days to finish. After a month of many many follow ups in text and on yelp, they still have never come, and at this point I'm sure they never will. Don't use R&R Mobile Auto Body. I'm sure he will reply to this with something like 'Sorry for the inconvenience. We been short on staffed, we are now getting back to normal if you can reach back out to us...' Like they do to other similar reviews from other people that were ghosted by them.

    Caliber Collision - Before (12/5)

    I've used this location in the past and have not had anything but good things to say about the…read moreservice they provide. On my most recent visit however there were some major delays with little and poor communication. After becoming frustrated with the lack of communication on when my vehicle would be completed I called to speak with anyone who could give me an idea of when my car would be completed. I was fortunate this day that a women named Janice in the front office answered the call. She not only listened to my issues of disappointment but took the reins of the situation even though she wasn't my service advisor. She even came in early on a Saturday morning (a day they are closed) and made sure I was able to pick up my vehicle. Janice went above and beyond what she needed to and saved what had become a frustrating situation to say the least. I would definitely recommend using this location because their work is great and people like Janice are the fabric of what make a great business.

    (Repost so I can include the before and after pics)…read more Total repair time: two weeks. They even fixed it faster than the estimated repair date. I originally left a review on here due to the friendliness of the two front office ladies. They made the beginning process of this ordeal a lot smoother and alleviated a lot of my concerns. Now that I have my car back, I cannot praise this business enough. MY CAR IS AS GOOD AS NEW. If you saw it today, you'd never guess it was it was in a collision. Communication was A+. I never had any issues getting in contact with who I needed. They gave me constant updates regarding where my car was in the repair process. Also, there were no issues between Caliber and my insurance GEICO. Though I hope I never have to deal with this again, I'm glad I put my faith & trust in Caliber.

We asked for a shorter time since it was my daughter's spring break. At first they said it was ok but then they changed their mind. They insisted on a minimum of three weeks. I think that they run a racket on the tesla loaners and charge the insurance with luxury rentals. Their main focus was to secure as much money they could procure for themselves ignoring all the requests of the customers. In total they took around $12,000 for a repair of less than $2000 for an average paint shop. (they tell everyone a minimum of three weeks!)

They gave me a repair estimate of $17,335.18 on October 15, which seemed reasonable, and I assumed work was being done. For over two months, I waited with no updates. Suddenly, on December 5, they emailed demanding the loaner back immediately and threatened a police report for "failure to return a rental vehicle." I called their rep (Alfonso), who said he would extend the loaner--he never followed up. That evening, the loaner was remotely disabled (Valet Mode) while I was driving, stranding me overnight in 20°F snowy/rainy weather on a busy DC street. I had to pay for towing myself to avoid freezing. The next morning (December 6), they called police (Rockville and Prince George's County), claiming I failed to return the rental. They also told officers my Florida license was "fake" or fraudulent. Police cleared me immediately. I repeatedly explained my disabilities (immune-compromised, OCD, ADHD, anxiety) and asked for accommodations to get my medication and belongings from the loaner (less than ¼ mile away at a friend's house). They refused and left me stranded without transportation or meds ever since. Now they demand over $14,000 in storage/rental fees--almost as much as the repair estimate--yet no work was ever done on my car. I have video, emails, bills, and records. This was unsafe, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Avoid if you value safety and clear communication.
