    Jason is amazing. Best customer service I've ever gotten with my Corvette car was in and out and he was on top of his game for sure.

    Auto parts thrown into my car. According to the employee they do this with all vehicles with no regard to your items.

    I'm giving 1 stars because of the poor customer service that is autonation collision center. my frustrations with this place comes from the damage to my personal items that were left in my vehicle. I got my vehicle fixed after I was rear ended at the Autonation in Tempe, AZ. I turned my vehicle in and as soon as I got it back from repair (same day of my move to TX) I was so focused on moving that I didn't really do a full inspection of the repairs/repaint as well as the paneling. The panel gaps were so large water entered them, color was not a match of the rest of my vehicle and my mud flaps were never re-installed onto my car. I called this place and Charles assured me that my vehicle would be fixed and they'd take care of it. (Which they didi). I needed to turn the rental car in early that they got me because I had to fly back to PHX but I wanted to remove the items that I had left in my car since my car was being left unlocked. (They were aware I had these items in the car as well.) Upon arriving to my vehicle I opened the trunk and all the car parts were thrown into my car and onto my leather seats - scratching my interior leather as well as damaging 2 custom 3x5 art pieces that are valued around $700 each and would've appreciated more in value over the years had they not been damaged. If you are going to use my car for the storage of parts you could put my seats down and not place things directly on my leather. Or call me and tell me to remove my items especially when you were informed those items were in there. The solution? An interior and exterior detail. After having to deal with a month of repairs on top of the frustrations that come with an accident I also had to deal with the damage of my personal items of value. I appreciate the detail but that doesn't provide me with any solution - especially when as soon as I regularly use my car the scratching of my leather will be more noticeable. I will update this review with pictures.. Update 07/12 - called based off the review response and couldn't even talk to the GM. Who is Charles. No one could give me their insurance information. Attached are the photos. Update 07/27 - I have waited for 3 weeks for someone to contact me. Charles is out sick and has been out sick. No one has contacted me to rectify this situation. I have had radio silence and have lost roughly $3k in permanent vehicle damages by this repair shop. It's almost as if they don't care about customer service now.

    Jason helped me out and it was phenomenal. Got me in next day after I got home from the holidays and took a deer to the front of my Tacoma going about 65. Super extensive damage, and in the middle of the supply chain issues, but they got everything straightened out. Got good updates, and they even air freighted in some parts when they found out my original pieces were stuck on a boat outside LA. My best experience with any auto body work. I hope I dont *need* to see them again anytime soon, but if I do I would absolutely go back here.

    Just a warning if you think this body shop is great because it's part of AutoNation and right across the street from the Toyota dealer, then you're dead wrong. I had a deer hit me my Corolla on the side, there was a minor dent on the rear and passenger door, I assume the cost and time to repair would be minimal (I attached pictures, so you'll have an idea) but I was completely wrong. From the time of drop off to my pickup it took about 7 weeks! I took pictures of the impact and did an online estimate through my insurance. The initial estimate was around $1200, I took it to AutoNation center on 8/21/2023 for in-person estimate, the shop estimator I work with was Jerry. His estimate was a lot higher than my insurance but couldn't give a $ amount or time of estimate but I decided a drop off date of 8/28. That was a mistake, 2 weeks went by, and I had not heard anything from Jerry, so I called and left a message. I got a call back on 9/14 saying all parts are in and just waiting for a technician for painting. It was a clear lie because another 2 weeks went by, I have not heard anything, so I called on 9/25, apparently, Jerry has not submitted his supplement to my insurance which came out to about 7K! A lot more than Geico's initial estimate. So, on 9/25 the repairs had not begun, my only issue was the length of repair. My guess is the shop was disputing the amount of repair and had to wait for Geico adjuster to inspect, which is why I believe it took 7 weeks. Whether or not the supplement repair was necessary or not is debatable and can't confirm but I believe its price gouging. I was finally able to pick up my car on 10/16, at the time, the shop was still disputing over $700 total repair. They did a good job with the repair but again it was a barely noticeable dent, no panel needed replacement, some damage to the rear wheel; it was mostly labor for "painting", it should not have taken so long and so much $$. I don't blame Geico for the entire process, this shop is shady asf. You may take my review as a grain of salt, but they will make you sign a waiver (at time of drop off) agreeing not sue them for taking a long time to repair, means they have been sued a lot before for this type of behavior. Lesson learned, next time I will go to a body shop recommended by my insurance, if they pick any AutoNation I will avoid.

    Solid experience, it did take a long time but it was due to parts being back ordered. Jerry was great, very communicative.

Also very helpful when my warranty company needed additional invoices. The price was also a good value. Will definitely use their services again if needed!

    In regard to your response Frank I'll expose again why no one should use you. To start I used you…read moreafter the break issue we resolved to give you a shot. I bring up that brake issue because it eventually became a pattern of dropping the ball, and repeated issues 1. My car had to be towed because basic logic well known issue for GMC/Chevy 6.2 liter V8 engines have a lifter issue which requires engine replacement. The car wasn't in bad shape as you say. Cadillac dealership said I should have it towed due to the knocking sound. My car has always been kept immaculate. Yes you quoted a fair price, it was Lambs in Lakeway that was ridiculous and most people know they are. The engine took long because they sent the wrong engine and in regards to my finances it wasn't I couldn't pay . I was at the mercy of you and I was nothing but polite every single interaction with you. Your dropped the ball so many times and you actually asked me for advance payment at one point because you needed to pay your taxes . I didn't want to pay you UPFRONT Frank. You fix then pay, that's most every way it's done . You didn't have the money to cover costs which is a concern regarding running a business. I had also just spent money on another car repair and boat repairs . The car sat as I decided what I wanted to do. As far as stating you could have charged me storage you never once mentioned that and I have every phone call that proves that. Pretty shady of you to pull that out on your reply here. Again not on single time did you ever mention storage fees. So please don't act as if it was some favor you did. The car went in for an engine replacement. As you confirmed the day you put the engine in to test drive you call me telling me I need steering column replacement. Yes I have you on recording Frank stating that indeed the lift and big tires were the culprit. The steering was completely fine and it had not been driven once per you as we waited for the engine issue and replacement to be resolved. You now understand why I recorded you. You can't remember what you told me. I didn't struggle to pay you. I had a boat in repair and another car a Range Rover in repair. I communicated to you very professionally. By the way let's remember you had me pay up front on everything. It was the engine that was ordered that was delayed. 2. Regarding the transmission line. Let the public see this post. I pick up my car from Frank and I make it about a quarter to half a mile or so down road and what becomes the problem is the transmission line. Frank I have that call to you recorded as well and your claim that I accelerated or false and blew the line is total BS. It had nothing to do with big tires. I'm saving all my facts, statements from GM certified techs , and video of your guy coming over to "fix" it. Within a day or 2 it went out again and I made you tow it for free. It was your guy that you sent and had him do what he did and sent me on my way and that all was fine only to have it sent back to you. By the way on our recorded call you tried to lead me to believe with certainty it was one thing when in fact you were wrong and called me with another reason. Again grateful I recorded both those conversations. The reputable mechanics I discussed were my brothers out of Houston. My brother owns a professional garage and luxury and collector car biz for 22 years. The other reputable people was a connection I had out of A Cadillac dealer in Dallas. I mentioned this to you and so logically my car stayed locally with you. 3. The whole issue about you spending 200 for the detail I will just say to anyone reading this look at the pics of my Escalade left in his care. Never should have happened Frank. By the way I took a time stamp video of my car before it went back to you. I didn't spill the oil. That's a regular engine oil. Why would I need engine oil to leave in my backseat after you just repaired and did an engine replacement. Again shady of you to blame that on me. And by the way I had to waste 3 hours of my work day sitting there waiting on a detail. Completely unprofessional. 4. I asked you you fix my windshield wiper motor while you had it. You never did. I kept asking you very time you had the car and I have your texts alone that show you forgot several times. same thing Frank regarding the transmission thermostat. I asked you several times, you came out to fix my running board and forgot to get the transmission thermostat and windshield motor. Again pretty crazy you fixed my transmission yet our texts show you dropping the ball on the thermostat. I have lost count on the amount of texts I have that show you never show up on time. I'm done with my response. I'll update this post after claims court.

I checked their hourly rates, they are in line with other garages I have used in the past.

They found several things that needed attention (battery, brakes, bearings, etc.) Twenty two year olds can be responsible, but they don't always recognize when there's a weird noise, or the alignment is off. We got 2 pages of repairs done and it was a little under 3K. Yep, it's a lot, but still less than buying a new car and he will get a couple more years out of this car.
