To describe how awesome Chad and his team at the Lonoke Collision Center are, I have to start off…read moreby telling you a story about a 17 year old girl that was broke down, upset, and stranded on a busy county road 6 months ago. This incident lead me to one of the best collision centers that I've had the privilege to deal with. One of Chad's employees was the only one that stopped that day to help my daughter. She had just recently had her car's oil changed, and the company mistakenly double stacked her oil filter gasket. This mistake caused her to loose over 90% of her oil, and created a smoke cloud that everyone passing by could see. Chad's employee never hesitated to pull over, and offer his help. Help her he did. He quickly diagnosed the problem, fixed the oil filter all while on the phone with me, her helpless frantic father. A complete stranger that God sent her way to make sure she was safe. After fixing her filter, he then drove several miles to the closest store to get new oil to put in her car. This act was going to make him late to work, but he had rather dealt with his boss than to leave my daughter on the side of the road. Once he was satisfied that she and her car were safe, he disappeared as quickly as he came, never asking for a dime for reimbursement, or anything for his troubles. In the middle of feeling helpless that I couldn't help my daughter several miles away, I remembered that he mentioned that he worked at a local collision center. After a couple of days of phone calls, I was able to track this gentleman down. My daughter and I went to his work, and present him with a gift card to a local restaurant for him and his family. His place of employment was Lonoke Collision Center. Recently my daughter had her car backed into by a classmate in a parking lot in town. At first it appeared that this individual was going to do the right thing, and pay for the damages. Unfortunately the cost of repairs was too much for the individual to pay for. My daughter, out of the goodness of her heart accepted 60% of the remaining cost. I contacted Chad, and after explaining her situation with him, without hesitation, he offered me a deal on the repairs that I couldn't turn down when he found out that my daughter had saved up every penny she received for every "A" grade in high school for college, and it was about to go down the drain. Chad wasn't about to let that happen, so he came to her rescue. After a few parts were replaced, he matched the paint perfectly, repainted, adjusted, and installed her new bumper saving her a lot in cost. This man gave us top notch service for a fraction of the cost. In this day of age, there are still good people out there in our community. Chad and his employees are some of them. I highly recommend Chad and his amazing crew at Lonoke Collision Center. I've made a new friend and he will be getting all my future business if the need arises. In the photos, you will see a couple dents on the hood. I didn't ask him to repair those, so I wanted to make sure he wasn't to blame for not repairing them. He would have if I requested. Good folks at Lonoke Collision Center... Go see them today for all your paint and body needs. You will not regret it.
