Fantastic body shop. I've had two vehicles repaired there and I'm not sure which is better, the quality of their work or their service! I'll just say that they are both outstanding!

Report
I was rear ended by a drunk driver in October and was referred to Bradford for an inspection and repair. They worked with me and made me feel like a priority throughout the lengthy battles with insurance. Mickey even drove me to Enterprise when they were too busy to pick me up. Unfortunately, my car was ultimately declared totaled by the insurance company but I feel absolutely confident coming here for future auto repair needs.
