My wife, myself, and my 5 yo son and 5 mo daughter were an hour from home and our van blew a break line. I called about 6 places before Nelson's. With it being a Monday, most places were packed wouldn't help. Jeff said to bring it in and he'd check it out. A couple hours later, the van was fixed and we were heading home. I felt the price was manageable but mostly thankful they helped us out in a jam. Mainly because we still had our 5 other kids at home. Many thanks and I'd recommend them to anyone in the area.

Report
My wife got hit in the Meijer's parking lot (guy left a note) not knowing if the guy was going to pay we had our local repair shop (Nelson's)estimate it. Mean while the gentleman turned it into his insurance (they estimated $58.22higher) we turned in our car to Nelson's they repaired it, we turned the original estimate with the car. When they called and said it was done it was higher then what they originally estimated.
My wife asked why and they lied to us and said because it had parking sensor. We picked it up and the paid the higher amount. I wasn't happy about them not honoring the original estimate so I called she tried to lie to me but I had both estimates in front of me. Then she said that I wrote the insurance estimate on the back of the original so I must of wanted pay more. After many minutes of arguing she agreed to reimburse me the $58 dollars back. I told her to do what she thought was right no reimbursement. It's not about the money it's about doing business the right way and I feel they don't. So I will never use them again!

Warning, if you are going to pay out of pocket do not take it to Nelsons Collision. Insurance claims come first meaning your vehicle will get kicked to the back of the line and keep getting kicked too the back of the line if insurance claims are coming in. Insurance cash is king and out of pocket cash is monopoly money to them. I heard they do good work but I wouldn't know. I took my business elsewhere

Acted like I was a bother to them for a windshield then threw a ridiculously high price to get rid of me. It worked. There are better choices out there.
