After almost 3 weeks and 4 visits my truck was finally finished to look the way it did before the accident. The first 3 attempts to pick up my truck were like a nightmare. They missed scuffs on the running boards, scratches left on the paint, and last attempt to pick up there was damage that did not exist when I brought it in. After they finally did restore it to its original condition, they were so kind to leave a very strong smell of paint thinner inside the truck that lasted for 2 weeks, and I noticed a couple intentional gouges in the paint in inconspicuous areas like the inside drivers door and on the bed of the truck.
I wish I could have had the same great experience everyone else has left reviews on but unfortunately this was the worst experience I have ever had with a business. The manager also was very difficult and had an attitude that progressed very badly when I pointed out things that were missed. I would not wish this experience on my worst enemy. I will also be posting pictures of my receipt to validate me as a customer and my experience

I would definitely recommend Schrader Collision. I've had to use them far too often the last few years, but the quality of their work and service has ALWAYS been top notch! Hopefully I won't need their services again anytime soon, but it's good to know they will be there if I do.

They do great work. They fixed a bad but deep scratch on my passenger door. When I got it back the deep scratches on my door was gone. I recommend their services if you want auto body repair on your car.

Awesome work. They worked with Progressive even though they are not on the preferred list. Car was washed, clean inside and out. They even touched up the paint where someone shot a bb at my rear driver's door. Paul knows his stuff and is willing to answer questions and explain things. They will definitely communicate with you as to what's going. Definitely make you feel like a person instead of just a check.
