consider looking elsewhere They kept changing the estimate for the repair, saying there were parameters given by the insurance company that they had to follow. But then later, a They kept changing the estimate for the repair, saying there were parameters given by the insurance company that they had to follow. But then later, after I asked for a new "skin" for the door that had the most damage and had been told that I would have to pay more, the insurance company told me that the new skin should have been ordered in the first place. The estimate was first $3,400, then went to $3,200. But then when I asked for the new "skin", I was told I would have to pay $330 more out of pocket, then later it was $450 out of pocket. This was in addition to my deductible- I was told it was more since I had asked for it. Again, the insurance agent told me the skin should have been ordered from the beginning and he made sure that I did not have to pay more out of pocke. Things got better with the shop when someone else took over management of my repair. I was directed to go to this location by my insurance and they told me themselves they are the best in the area and have been in business of over 90 years. I doubt I will ever use them again. It was a very bad experience. Felt like they were playing me since I am female- giving me misinformation about my repair and my out of pocket costs. More
Just another number I was not greeted upon entry, and after arriving I was hurried into Swansons office so he could get my info and get moving along on a repair I wasnt e I was not greeted upon entry, and after arriving I was hurried into Swansons office so he could get my info and get moving along on a repair I wasnt even sure I wanted yet. When I expressed this concern, he rudely informed me that I was wasting his time and if I want an estimate I need to come back on another day when the insurance company's estimator is on site and that he cant help me. Being frustrated enough as is, I made the (wrong) decision to just go ahead and let his team handle my repairs. Big mistake. Not only are the after market parts Swanson hyped up cheap garbage, they didnt even fix any of the mechanical issues that appeared after the collision so I have a bunch of lights on in the dash. Not to mention they were so cheap they put the damaged license plate light bulb from the old trunk in the new one. They replaced a headlamp unit that didnt need replacing, but failed to align it with the other lamp so my headlights point in two different directions. Just overall not happy with the job considering how much they charged us (insurance and I) for it. At least now I know to shop locally and never trust another corporate body shop again. More

Fantastic customer service! Easy Peasy! Getting the original estimate was a breeze! Took all of about 10 minutes and I was out the door! My appointment for repair was quickly scheduled the Getting the original estimate was a breeze! Took all of about 10 minutes and I was out the door! My appointment for repair was quickly scheduled thereafter, and the repair itself was completed on time and even quicker than I expected! I received a phone call stating that my vehicle was ready for pickup, but it was going to be tight for me to make it there on time before they closed for the day, and the gentleman offered to stay a few minutes late and wait for my arrival! Awesome customer service!! Would use again!! More
Dead Battery I had a dead battery that wouldn't take a jump start. Had it towed to Gates Ireland Road, battery replaced and a bunch of codes reset. I had a dead battery that wouldn't take a jump start. Had it towed to Gates Ireland Road, battery replaced and a bunch of codes reset. More
