I was involved in a collision in January and was referred to Olsen's because they supposedly…read moreoffered loaner vehicles. My car became undrivable before their loaner was available, so I had to bring it in early. At drop-off, I spoke with Mary Jean, who agreed over the phone that I could pay the repair balance in installments since I needed to use my savings to purchase a temporary beater car. Based on that agreement, I went ahead and bought an inexpensive vehicle and waited for the repairs. Once the work was completed, the entire agreement was suddenly denied. I was then contacted by Deb, who immediately began pressuring me to either pay the full balance upfront or sell my car to them at an extremely low and unrealistic price. When I refused, she informed me they would start charging $100 per month just to keep my repaired vehicle on the lot--something never disclosed in advance. She repeatedly referenced a supposed "normal" rate of $100 per day as if it were a threat, even though none of this was part of the original conversation with Mary Jean. The behavior felt strategic and manipulative, designed to corner me into selling them my car. When I arrived with the $2,000 I had borrowed from a friend, the visible shock on Deb's face said everything--she clearly expected I'd have no choice but to give in. The entire situation made me feel like they were taking advantage of someone they assumed couldn't push back. The store manager refused to speak with me by phone and insisted on email only, adding to the frustration. Throughout the ordeal, I received dismissive remarks, including being told I "couldn't be trusted" to pay--even though their last-minute changes were the only reason the situation escalated. I genuinely cannot understand how a business operates this way and stays open. Between the shifting terms, undisclosed fees, pressure tactics, and lack of basic professionalism, this was one of the worst experiences I've had with any repair shop. I would strongly advise others to avoid Olsen's entirely.

Sonny's released my car to me done, without fixing any of the damage underneath. Returned it with…read morean appointment, to fix their completely ignoring the underside damage. They didn't have the parts, said they would call when parts are in.Two weeks later I called and the parts were in (thanks for the call), I made a fourth stop/appointment. They put some new parts on the bottom but never addressed all the damage and noise. They never finished the work. All of which is described in the report and paid for by me and my, Insurance company. They then said "it's probably a tie rod and they'll have to take it somewhere else to determine if the damage and noise was due to the accident".... Yes, it was, on the report and PAID to Sonny's to fix! I have used Sonny's for 30+ years, the latest ownership ain't no Sonny. The travel and time spent so far on this PAID for job is now more than I've spent on the deductable. I do not recommend, nor trust this shop. I will repair it out of my own pocket rather than get them a opportunity to not fix the agreed upon paid for work. As of now five 72 mile trips to have my car not fixed. Cheaper to deal with it locally, by a trustworthy business. caveat emptor

I hit a beaver on my way to work one morning. It was a light hit - just the front bumper, grill, an…read moreair exchanger, radiator, and a few plastic pieces that help direct air was all that was damaged. No metal pieces were bent, no frame damage, and even the A/C condenser survived with no damage. My normal repair shop was backed up with customers and didn't have room for me to have my car towed there, so I chose to have my car towed to Serra (then Bill Marsh) Body & Paint solely on their reputation, and they were one of the body shops that my insurance recommended. When I called them, they also had room and could accept my car right away. My insurance adjuster initially totaled my car, as it has over 200K miles and wrongfully thought that I would just want a check for the downpayment on a new car. Long story short, after I found out that AAA's initial damage estimate was less than half of the value of the car, they reworked the claim so the car would be repaired instead of being totaled. In the meantime, Serra (then Bill Marsh) Body and Paint was less than helpful. I received a FEW calls wanting to know when I was going to clean out my car so that it could be scrapped! It took over a weeks worth of calls and emails between me, them, and my AAA agent for them to finally get on the same page and tear the car down to get a proper estimate for repair. By this time, Bill Marsh Paint & Body was days before Serra was taking over, and they just wanted my car "off their books" according to Ron. I received yet another phone call from Ron stating that my car was totaled, and they needed me to clean it out so that it could be scrapped. I didn't even know they had looked at my car yet! They never went over the estimate with me, and when I arrived in person - once again they never discussed the estimate, they just stressed how much my car needed to be "off their books"! The person behind the desk finally printed up their estimate (over $11,000) which was nearly 3X the amount that AAA estimated, which was basically a "go away" estimate as they just needed my car "off the books" according to Ron. Mind you, this was after my car had been up there a month at this point, and a full TWO WEEKS after AAA agreed to have them repair the car instead of totaling it out. Do yourself a favor, and DO NOT waste your time bringing your car here for repair! If anyone from Serra corporate reads this, the BEST thing you can do to bring this body shop back to the reputation that it once had, is to eliminate the current employees that are dragging down that once good reputation. Personally, I wouldn't consider Serra Body & Paint a viable repair option until Ron, Bruce, and Jeff have been replaced with people who remember that the customer walking through the door is who keeps the lights on and the bills paid. As long as those three are still working there, I'd go somewhere where you'll be treated with respect, and valued as a customer. I'd HIGHLY recommend Fox Motors Collision Center, and Gerber Collision & Glass. I've had NOTHING but great experiences with both shops. We were ALWAYS treated with respect, (unlike Serra Paint & Body who treated us like second rate citizens), and their work was second to none.
