Please read to the bottom. Important info in caps.
I wish I could give this place negative stars. Honestly the owner Bob is a jackass. I got into an accident and ruined my bumper, radiator, hood, ac, lights. The insurance company didn't cover us, so we were paying out of pocket. I specifically told him this, and he said he would get the lowest price possible. Keep in mind that im 18 and I don't make huge amounts of money. The guy originally told me he thought the damage repair would cost around 2-3000 when I brought it in. After he called us back, he told me that it was actually going to be 5000. Which would mean I totaled mt car.
He also told me he was ordering all aftermarket prices for all the parts he needed, but when I looked online, every single one of his parts were dealer parts prices.
My friend works at a small auto shop and he said he would take a look at it and see if he could get a better deal for me. So obviously I want to go there instead.
When I told him I didnt want the work done at his shop, he told me that my boyfriend talked to him and would go in Monday to go over everything. I told him no, and that I had made up my mind to tow the car to the other shop. He seemed kind of pissed off about that, and hung up. When I went over, he was standing outside next to my car waiting for me.
THIS IS THE WEIRD PART*** ALL THE DAMAGED PARTS OF MY CAR WERE OUTSIDE LAYING ON THE GROUND IN THE PARKING LOT. WHY????!!! Why the hell was my car outside in the parking lot taken apart, when he has a perfectly good body shop that he could have done that in. Also, it is 20 fucking degrees out may I add, so why would you want to work on a car in this weather. It was extremely obvious the son of a bitch took my car apart while I was on my way over, and made it look like he was working on it. I didn't sign any paper that said he could do any work on my car either. HE ALSO CAUSED 700$ worth of damage when it was in the shop there. THIS IS INSANE!!!! He obviously is only worried about getting money, and WILL TRY TO SCREW YOU OVER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE HIS SHOP!!
The huge dick move though was when he charged me $150 for "work" that he did on my car, and "time" looking online for parts. Also he charged me for keeping my car there. Yes ok fine charge me for keeping my car there, but seriously, not for the work. He didn't do anything to my car to make it better. He actually made it worse by breaking both of my front lights. WHICH WERE NOT BROKEN BEFORE.
Over all, just stay away from this scummy place. The lady at the front desk isn't even that nice. I was crying because we didnt have enough money on our debit card to pay for the bill. My boyfriend had to get a taxi all the way back to our house to get cash. (We hate banks) but ugh. This whole situation could have been avoided if I didn't go there. I'D ALSO BE UP $700 BECAUSE HE FUCKED UP MY CAR EVEN MORE! I went to my friends shop in Norwood, and he took better care of the situation. STAY AWAY FROM HERE! THEY WILL TRY TO STEAL YOUR MONEY!!!!! :( BOB: I KNOW YOU FUCKED ME OVER, SO DON'T TRY TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD TO OTHERS. I LOWERED YOUR STARS ON YELP. MAYBE THIS WILL TELL PEOPLE TO STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM HERE. read more
