Well, the inevitable happened. My first new car ever, 3 years in, was hit by another vehicle while it was parked on the side of the road overnight. At first, it didn't appear there was too much damage. After calling ICBC, and taking care of all the claim stuff, I did some research and this body shop came highly recommended by someone I trust and care about.
I drove down and inquired within to see when they could possibly fit me in to repair my precious car. I was met with the manager, Moe. I was extremely impressed with how easy it was to get everything taken care of. Moe went above and beyond, no doubt understanding how difficult the loss of my precious car was to me. As I needed a courtesy vehicle (I cannot be without a car for multiple reasons) I was told to wait a few days for a car to become available. This was not a problem as my car was still driveable. I brought my car in and everything was taken care of. Moe was sure to keep in touch with me every step of the way.
With a repair bill of over $10,300 and a bent frame, ICBC deemed my car to be a total loss and advised me to return to the shop to return the courtesy car (which was very nice and clean by the way). As I was at work that day, I quickly phoned Moe to inform him of the situation. He understood and allowed me to keep the courtesy car over the weekend as my shift was not over until long after the shop was closed. the following Monday, I was supposed to be picked up by a rental car company after returning the courtesy car. The rental company called me that morning and advised me that there were no rentals available and that I would have to wait until another day. Moe called his rental guy and tried to get me a rental car from him, but alas, it was the same problem. Moe said that he didn't want to leave me stranded, and granted me an additional day with the courtesy car. I was so moved that I almost hugged him on the spot. I went straight to a car dealership and bought a new car that day, and manage to return the courtesy car that evening, just before closing time.
Although my car was not able to be repaired by this auto body shop (ICBC towed it away for parts), the level of customer service was so above and beyond that, I would return to this shop anytime anywhere when needed. I have rarely met such compassion and understanding from a person, let alone a business. This place definitely deserves 6 stars out of 5. Many thanks to Moe and the team at Andy Sorensen Autobody & Frame Ltd, you will always have my gratitude for all you did during this difficult time. read more
