    Read the 1 and 2 star reviews!! Save yourself the headache!! My son's truck was damaged in a rear-end collision and I found VIP Collision Center through Yelp. I mean, 4.5 stars, plus the convenience of messaging through Yelp, and the ability to send pictures of the damage for an estimate - I mean, c'mon, this is too good to be true! Well, it was too good to be true! I blame myself partly for a number of reasons. First, for being too lazy to get other estimates. Second, for not reading the 1 star reviews, because I think fellow yelper, Gene L, is onto something - he said his bullshit meter was pegged in the red zone. I wholeheartedly agree! First, I have to admit that the body repair work was good, with the exception of the paint being a shade off. Fortunately, my son didn't care and certainly didn't want to make an issue of it. He was just happy to finally get his truck back after more than two (2) months! Second, the customer service is atrocious. I dropped off the truck on 4/6, along with hard copies of VIP's estimate and the opposing auto insurance company's estimate. On the same date, I picked up a rental vehicle for my son to use while his truck was in the shop. Immediately after dropping off the vehicle, I received an email with that included a link for an electronic tracker of the repair work through carwise.com. I was ecstatic! I thought it was great that I'd be able to just check on the repair work without having to call the shop. Boy, was I wrong! Let's just say, that "meter" barely moved, even after they started the repair work, so it was NOT ACCURATE. In fact, the carwise tracker just showed that I picked up the truck a couple weeks ago, it is now July and the truck was picked up in May. One week later, on 4/13, I called VIP to ask about the timeline for the repair and there was no answer. Not only that, the voicemail box was full so I couldn't leave a voicemail! FIRST RED FLAG!! This happened numerous times!! When someone finally answered the phone, instead of answering my question, the initial response was "that repair work won't take a week." I explained that I knew it wouldn't take a week, that I was just calling to get an estimate as to how long it would take since I had to pay out of pocket for my rental and the insurance company was going to reimburse me; a female in the background said "Oh, we'll let the insurance company know." Then I was told that they ordered parts and the last part, the bumper, would be received the following week, so the work should be done the week after that. The repair work would not be done until 5/19, MORE THAN TWO MONTHS LATER. In those two months, VIP had not even contacted the other insurance company until WEEKS LATER, misplaced the hard copy of the insurance company's estimate, and kept putting off the completion date due to one thing or another. VIP also tried to put the blame on me for not making an appointment to drop off the vehicle, to which I responded, WHY did you accept it??!! There was no reasonable response to that. If I had known it would take TWO MONTHS to complete the repair, I would have taken the truck elsewhere. Yet, that wasn't relayed to me when I dropped off the truck. The icing on the cake was when I submitted my first rental invoice to the insurance company for reimbursement, the adjuster told me that VIP had NEVER CONTACTED THEM. Mind you, this was MORE THAN A MONTH AFTER I had dropped off the truck to VIP. Because of VIP's failure to initiate contact with the insurance company and ensuing refusal to provide pertinent information, my reimbursement was delayed by at least three (3) weeks! Highly disappointed by the entire experience. Recommend? NOOOOOOO Return? HECK NOOOOOOO

    After!

    I had a great experience with the crew at VIP Collision. I was looking to get the rear end of my vehicle fixed. I had backed into a pole and shattered the glass out and dented my lift gate in. I shopped around a few places but I really like the vibe that Alfred and crew gave off. They combed over the damages and made me feel like they were gonna take care of my car as if it were one of their own cars. Travis was my main point of contact for my experience and he kept in great communication with me making sure I knew where they were with getting my car up and running. They encountered a small hiccup so I had to wait a couple extra days while they ordered a couple parts to make sure everything got fixed correctly. When I came to pick it up I realized that my latch sensor didn't want to go off. Travis got one of the shop guys to fiddle with it and could t get it to go off so they just ordered another latch setup and told me to swing by in the next couple of days and they would install it for me. All in all my car left here looking better than it did prior to the accident. They even detailed the inside, my car hasn't been this clean since I bought it! The staff is a good bunch of people and they were all friendly and courteous. Hopefully I won't need to get my car fixed up again but if I do Alfred and his team definitely will get my business again.

    My car was hit in a parking lot. Vip was able to get me into the shop on a few days notice, when deakshoo told me it would be over a month. After ordering the parts they started the work and were able to return my car in a timely manner, for the agreed upon price. They also washed the car and cleaned it up inside.

    My husband was in an accident on September 11th, 2020. Within a couple of weeks, our car was dropped off at VIP Collision. We were called in January 2021 to pick the car up, only to find that they never replaced the back bumper, which was half of the claim. We were called again a few weeks later to come pick up the car. Upon arrival, we were told that the car wasn't ready after all, that the person applying the vinyl to the back bumper accidentally ripped the vinyl. We were called for the third time to pick the car up on March 5th, 2021. Upon arrival that day, it was discovered that they applied incorrect pieces of vinyl to the back bumper and trunk deck. My husband and I decided to take the car home while VIP orders the correct vinyl kit for our limited edition car. Their parking situation had already resulted in multiple new scratches and dents to our car. We live in Fallon, and I had to take three days off work in order to try and pick up my car. My husband works in Reno, so we made arrangements THREE times for me to take off work, spend the day in Reno and pick up the car after he got off work. Since we received our car back, we discovered that the viny company also CUT our trunk deck to remove the spoiler. At no time did either company contact the owners of the car to find out how to remove the spoiler that was installed WITHOUT cutting our trunk. We discovered the cuts on March 6th. Since then I have initiated almost all contact with VIP. The owner, Alfred Gill, last contacted me around a month ago to let me know that he was contacting the original vinyl kit manufacturer to attempt to have a couple of pieces specially made. Since then I have left messages and not gotten a single call back. LET ME MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR: IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE VIP FIRST HAD POSSESSION OF OUR CAR AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE CONTRACTED WORK! I wouldn't suggest this shop to the person I hate most on this planet!

It's not every day that you wake up and hear a mouse squeaking behind your dashboard, but that's exactly what happened to us after discovering some evidence of rodents in the car searching for food. After a couple weeks with poison traps and peppermint oil to drive them out we were left with a lingering smell in the vehicle. We knew that they had been in the cabin air filter as well as the engine filter, as well as behind the dash, but we weren't able to reach where they were to properly clean it out. After speaking with a few detailing companies, we realized we needed to see an AC specialist and a quick visit with them help us understand that this was an insurance job that needed to be completed and that's how we ended up a diamond. As a preferred partner for State Farm diamond was able to assess the situation and get the professional help that was needed, including a proper cleansing of the AC system and full interior detail to remove all evidence of the mice that were once there. They were able to complete the work within the scope of the insurance policy and handled all the communication with the insurance company which made this a very simple effort on our part. Best of all their communication is top-notch. They kept us surprised at each step of the process and made sure to provide updates and return phone call promptly with full detailed voicemails when they couldn't reach us. And they even held the car a little extra due to the completion of the job overlapping with some time when we were away. If this is how they handle a job that they need to contract out I can't imagine the white glove service they provide when dealing with bodywork. I highly recommend the shop if you are in need of their type of services and if you're a State Farm customer and need to access your comprehensive benefit definitely give them a call.

    I cannot recommend Dent Dr. based on our experience. Our…read morevehicle was sent to Dent Dr. through SilverRock insurance after we purchased it from Carvana with documented rear bumper damage in transit. Because Dent Dr. was the only approved in-network repair facility, we had noreal choice but to use them. From the beginning, communication was inconsistent. We were told conflicting information about the status of our claim, and we later learned from SilverRock that required paperwork had not been submitted despite being told by Dent Dr. the claim had been denied. After dropping off the vehicle, we were told repairs would take about two weeks. As we were leaving Gary shouted to us, "don't bother calling, it wont help to get the repair done any faster". During the 2 week time frame, we received virtually no updates. Multiple covert visits to the shop showed the car sitting untouched with only the rear bumper cover removed. When we asked for explanations, we received conflicting answers about waiting on parts and whether a bumper replacement had been requested. SilverRock later confirmed that no supplemental request for a replacement had ever been submitted. Its like Gary at Dent Dr. purposely tries to get your blood boiling with frustration. The most concerning issue came when SilverRock informed us that Dent Dr. had reported the repair as half complete and later as fully completed, resulting in payment being issued to Dent Dr. by SilverRock. SilverRock told me they intended to recover the payment. In reality, the vehicle was nowhere near finished. When we finally retrieved the car, it was in worse condition than when we dropped it off, with new scratches, poor-quality bumper repairs, and additional damage that had not existed beforehand. SilverRock ultimately escalated the matter to their upper management, filed a vendor complaint against Dent Dr., and approved us to use another repair shop, Diamond Auto Body to correct the bumper work. I also filed a claim with Dent Dr's surety bond company and was nicely compensated to cover the cost of repairing the additional damage. Everyone can have an occasional delay or mistake, but repeated miscommunication, lack of transparency, poor workmanship, and inaccurate reporting made this one of the most frustrating stressful customer service experiences we've had. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend running from this shop and going somewhere else if you have the option.
