After having my VW serviced here recently, I've made a decision to establish Mike's Collision as my primary service center. The administrative receptionist is super friendly and they offer a loaner vehicle for customers in need. The vehicle servicing time is speedy and I find them to be extremely reliable. Overall, Mike's Collision has acquired a 5-star rating in MY book. I recommend this company for vehicle servicing. GO TRUMP!

I worked with Scott and from the first meeting with him I felt comfortable that my truck would be brought back to its pre accident beauty. After finally making our repair appointment I suffered a little anxiety that my truck would feel different, but on the day of delivery it was beautiful. I give Mike's thumbs up and many thanks for treating my truck with loving care and returning it as quickly as they did.

I worked with Tim on a truck hood. He was very honest and fair when dealing on the hood. I would definitely recommend this shop.
