An unfortunate accident left the front end of my almost-new (20,000 miles) Hyundai Elantra in a total wreck. I was dubious that it could even BE repaired. However, Progressive Insurance said they' almost-new (20,000 miles) Hyundai Elantra in a total wreck. I was dubious that it could even BE repaired. However, Progressive Insurance said they'd stand behind the work, so I asked to have it done there. In the past, this level of repair was almost always followed by "frame straightening", and an interminable set of visits such that the car could not have been properly repaired. I felt that ONLY a factory-trained repair shop had a prayer of putting my car back together again. Although there was a slight delay receiving some parts during the repair, the body shop was prompt to keep us informed as to status, and always up to date. When the car was ready, we could not pick it up right away on Friday, so they arranged for us to settle the account at the cashier's window on Saturday, even though the body shop wasn't open. The same day, we set out for a 1,000 miles journey from NJ to Western PA, over both interstate highways and arduous rural roads. To our great delight, the car PERFORMED LIKE NEW OR BETTER! It was obvious that all tires were balanced, the suspension tuned, and the invoice showed that only new-car factory replacement parts had been used. Although the total bill was over $6,500, it saved an even greater financial loss had the car been totalled, for I would have compelely lost my down payment on the car, and been faced with starting from scratch with no trade-in on a replacement vehicle. Instead, I am driving a car with a completely new front end, 20,000 miles on the engine, and in perfect running condition. I am sure this vehicle will provide the 6-10 years of service I had projected when it was purchased, and that I won't have to prematurely dispose of it because of the accident. I would definitely recommend this body shop for their skill, courtesy, and excellence in complex repairs. Thank you, Planet Honda! More
