Before dropping it off, I had taken photos of its condition. There was already a thin scratch along the panel edge, but when I picked it up, I immediately noticed that the damage in that exact area had become significantly worse. The thin scratch had become a much larger gouge with more exposed material. I have before-and-after photos documenting the difference. I calmly brought my concerns to Dave, expecting him to inspect the vehicle and have a professional conversation. Instead, he got in my face, yelled at me, repeatedly denied any responsibility, and refused to acknowledge the obvious difference shown in my photos. I was shocked by how I was treated. No customer should be intimidated for asking legitimate questions about the condition of their own vehicle. I understand that mistakes can happen during repairs. What I cannot accept is the complete lack of professionalism and respect that followed. Rather than trying to resolve the issue, Dave chose to become confrontational and dismissive. along with one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. I have before-and-after photos and my repair invoice documenting that the bumper was removed and reinstalled during the repair. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop.
