Report
My car had been hit by another driver. I brought it to Skrip's for repair. They were very fair and honest during the entire process. They worked with other driver's insurance company regarding payment so I didn't need to be involved. The car was returned in great condition. I couldn't be happier with the results of the repair or the customer service.
