Report
Came here because I needed to replace my alternator, they replaced my old one with a refurbished one and charged for new. Had to replace the "new" alternator they gave me a couple of months later myself. The alternator was completely rusted on the inside. Absolute scam never come here.

I highly recommend this shop. My 2007 Nissan Frontier had some serious electrical issues with the computers not communicating with each other. Cody and Tony were patient and able to correct the issue. Very good to work with. This shop is my shop of choice for any repairs. Thank you. David

Work was completed timely and they went above and beyond to deliver same-day turnaround, no added parts or labor until authorized by customer, issue (hood latch on 99 Beetle) fully resolved. Seemed honest and did not feel predatory. Will return for future service and have already referred my son for them to look at his transmission.

Report
I have used this body shop for 12 years with no problem, I have sent others to have their cars repaired, A recent accident has brought my car to them once again at no fault of theirs the insurance company has caused major delays with my repairs. I would of given them 5 stars but the communication with James has been lacking and frustrating, they are kind respectful and honest. I would like to continue using them for as long as I own a car. I hope this helps with educating staff on communication and follow up
