Beginning to end, I had an excellent experience. There was damage to my vehicle by a loved one,…read morethat I wasn't pursuing through insurance. It wasn't major, and didn't want the claim on my insurance. The estimate was a third of what another body shop not far from A-1 had quoted. Jim had my vehicle for two days, compared to the eight days required by said nearby competitor. Jim was personable, explained what he'd be doing to fix the issue, and provided a very reasonable estimate. Apprehensive at first, because as a consumer, in my mind, I assumed the work would be subpar at that price. But Jim was honest about the work, and the reason it would cost more at other body shops (When you go to him for a repair not covered by insurance, he'll tell you why). The finished work was beautiful....and on time, as promised!. No hidden costs or unexpected delays. My summation: Jim is an honest, professional, and personable businessman. He clearly has pride in his work, and I'd have to say; he's one classy dude! No wonder he's been in business for so long. Thank you Jim.

I was so happy my daughter and I went to see Jim. She had a small fender bender with our VW CC. I…read moretold him I did not want to spend a lot on a 9 year old car with 174k miles. Jim stopped what he was doing to come out and talk to us and look at the car. The "extra" piece of car we brought with us (thinking it fell off at the accident scene) he told us was not from our car. The hood that I could not open, he opened, adjusted and said it was just fine (another shop said it "could" cost $700 to fix the hood) After spending 15 minutes with us Jim told us not to worry about the basic plastic (we could try to snap it in or just take it off) and that the car was just fine to drive. He has daughters himself and totally understood. THANK YOU JIM. I promise that if we really do need anybody work or have friends that need help we are sending them over to Jim at A-1 Auto Body.
