    Aimes Collission repainted most of my G37 and buffed her into glass! Great job!!
    Pam D.

    Well, Aimes Collision has done it again! Olga and her staff have fixed my car after a fender bender with an uninsured driver. They fixed the car perfectly, and even made an extra effort to adjust my passenger side window as it was letting water in. Thank you so much Aimes Collision! You're care and work has yet again impressed me, and you know have me as a life long customer! You guys ROCK!!

    Does this look like 30,000. in repairs, or ultimately 120,000.

    Repairs so bad, car totaled, insurance companies paid out a total of 120,000.!!! You can see the damage (pic 1) on our car looked minor. Based on Aimes Collisions reviews and speaking with Eddie and Olga, I had them take on the repairs. They estimated 3-4 weeks. Due to Covid Olga said the repairs were going slow due to insurance company etc, okay! Insurance adjuster tells me they paid over 11,000. that Aimes submitted. I stopped by the shop and find the car front is taken apart (pic 2). I expressed my concerns, but Eddie assured me he works on European cars every week and was making sure all damage identified and repaired. They used Bengal Automotive to work on mechanical items. Eddie drove car back to shop, it didn't ride smooth. Aimes called Bengal and they came over with cans of transmission fluid, although they weren't supposed to have touched transmission. Bengals work was bad so Aimes took car to European Service Center who found a number of mechanical issues, redo of work done by Bengal and found tie rod had to be replaced. They test drove car and gears not changing smoothly. Transmission is shot and needs to be replaced, although not damaged in accident. Now DAY 70, my insurance paid 30,000. and won't pay another penny. Aimes calls their insurance company to pay for transmission. Before accepting car I had Aimes bring car to Mercedes for new tires. This is the first time I see car not up on rack and repairs supposedly complete. As they pull into Mercedes I can see hood is not closed correctly. Parts are missing, paint is chipping off, paint color doesn't match. Service manager opens hood and sees all these issues. Eddie keeps running away when Mercedes tries to point out all the obvious issues. I keep calling Eddie over, he doesn't want to look. Eddie said he just needed one more hour!!! WHAT!!! I ask Mercedes Body shop to look over repairs. FRAME DAMAGE, Aimes said they were too far into repairs when they realized frame was damaged and couldn't redo all the repairs, even though nothing lined up. Aimes has NO employees, Eddie tries to do all repairs himself, but admitted he was over his head. Aimes said they hired a painter to paint the car, but they felt rushed (74 days) and did not prep car prior to painting causing orange peel, drips and peeling. After 90 minute inspection, without dismantling car, Mercedes found the following list of outstanding issues.(see pic 3 & 4) My insurance adjuster and manager go inspect car, they both said they have never seen a repair job this bad. Aimes Insurance sends out their adjuster and manager, they call me horrified! Said not one repair was done correctly. It would take another 50,000. and over 2 months to redo all the repairs. Plus, another transmission as no fluid in transmission, new steering component (should have been replaced when they changed tie rod) and of course a new body frame. Aimes Insurance deemed the car totaled. They paid over 90,000. to pay off my car, the first transmission, my extra car rental expenses. My insurance company paid 30,000. Everyone who inspected car, stated it was a ticking time bomb and a serious accident was inevitable. I am glad I trusted my instincts and had the repairs inspected. I really believed and trusted Olga and was very hurt to think she would knowingly risk my families life.

    NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR TO THIS SHOP FOR REPAIR! On December…read more20,2024 I was involved in a minor accident on the Tollway. The right rear panel and rear passenger door were damaged. The car was easily driveable however a tow truck appeared and offered to take my car to the nearest collision center which was Xtreme Collision. It was not a preferred shop for State Farm Insurance but I was reassured by both the shop and State Farm that this was not unusual and the repairs could be done there. I thought it would be a 6 week project and all would be well. Week after week ,month after month I was told it was progressing. I finally went down to the shop and was shocked to see that they had completely dismantled my car, replacing parts that were not damaged in the accident. The car was leased, only three years old , low milage and high residual value. I was told that dismantling of my car was necessary in order to paint it appropriately. Soon my allotted rental car appropriation had been exhausted and I was then renting from Enterprise at my own expense. The lease on my damaged car was up at the end of April and then I was paying daily lease on the car in the shop since I had no car to return at the lease end. In late May the shop still was unable to complete the work and State Farm decided to declare the car a total loss and cut their losses with the shop. The shop would have received several thousand more if they had finished the job. The fact that they decided to accept the lesser payment for a total loss suggests that they were unable to finish the job. I believe that this shop is dishonest, deceptive and incompetent. They did way more on my car than necessary in order to gain more payment from the insurance company. In the end they had taken it apart and were too incompetent to put it back together again. I had a 4000 dollar rental from Enterprise because I was without a car for over 5 months . I had continued lease liability on the car in the shop because I could not turn it in on time. As noted above, the total time of this ordeal was 5 months, two weeks.

    We recently went to Xtreme Collision for a pre‑sale inspection after spotting a damage flag on its…read moreCarfax report--and the entire experience was outstanding. From my first call, owner Mark put me at ease, explaining that the inspection would be no problem and completely free of charge. When we arrived, the front‑desk ladies were friendly and checked us in without a hitch. My technician Brad was awesome. He thoroughly inspected the car, patiently answered all of our questions, and even offered balanced, "in‑your‑shoes" recommendations to guide our car‑buying decision. He was professional, caring, easy to work with, and went well beyond what I expected. If you're shopping for a pre‑owned vehicle and want true peace of mind, I can't recommend Xtreme Collision highly enough. Their expertise, friendliness, and genuine customer care make them the go‑to spot for anyone needing an expert assessment before buying.

I didn't and now I'm stuck with a ton of damage to my brand new car with only 3,500 miles. My car was damaged while in their possession and they refuse to take responsibility. The insurance company allowed to remove and reset my bumper. So when I brought the damage to their attention and said that it looks like it happened when they removed and reset my bumper, they advised me that they in fact didn't remove and replace my bumper. So they took money from me for work not completed. They tried to give me a song and dance about how they applied that money to something else, but never provided an updated estimate. If you look at the photos, you'll see that the scratches on the front come from underneath. And the paint is peeling on with side where the bumper meets the fender. Also, they replaced glass and didn't realize it had tint like the rest of my car. Who has untinted windows in Texas? I had to call them for a week to get them to take care of it like they should have in the first place. The only reason I gave two stars was because they did a nice job on the work I hired them to do (paintless dent repair). Do yourself a favor and take your car somewhere else.
