I just got off the phone with these people after listening to a seemingly-endless list of excuses as to why they couldn't conveniently schedule an inspection and hail-dent-removal on my car with zero-deductible comp insurance - so guaranteed payment without question, regardless of how much the charges were.
Oh, their lot was just TOO overrun with vehicles to possibly accommodate mine! Having been a pro automobile and, later, certified aircraft mechanic for my whole working-life and knowing how repair shops work, that tells me they're slow as molasses and massively behind on repairs, right there, and that they obviously know that they can't do anything to improve the situation, either, or they already Would Have.
They rattled-off just EVER SO MANY reasons that I'd have to schedule an appointment for an inspection, then bring it in for inspection, then take it back home, then come back after that and schedule the repair etc. (Very Complicated step), then come back again to drop it off, then back AGAIN to pick it back up, IF they ever actually got around to fixing it, that is - Yap, yap, yap. Yadda, yadda, yadda - Jeez, how TF hard can it be?? It literally was like dealing with one of those "Little Caesars" that you run into at some lame-a$$ed government bureaucracy!
I got the definite impression that they're under the misguided impression that they're quite substantially more important, wonderful and indispensable than they actually are, or ever will be - by a LONG shot!
I finally got fed up with what seemed to me to be their endless stream of BS and hung up and called Rogers Dent that's located almost next door to them and was done in five minutes, no problem. Easy-Peasy. No BS involved.
I strongly recommend against even ATTEMPTING to deal with this company. They're just WAY too busy and self-absorbed to stoop so low as to take care of potential customer's requests. That would Never Do! Not in a million years! Not with those guys.
Screw them! They made it perfectly clear that they Couldn't Possibly even Consider spending any of their precious time dealing with the apparently-immense effort required to do what I was requesting - which was: I drop my car off at their convenience, and they inspect and fix it again at their convenience, with no time-restraints or rush on my part whatsoever - but that was just TOO MUCH to ask, so I called somebody who felt confident that they could handle something so terribly difficult, and, oddly, seemed more than happy to do it, and were courteous and professional on the phone, to boot! Didn't seem like any big deal to them at all, for some unfathomable reason, when BBS had just made it sound like the Impossible Dream!
I really don't see how arrogant, self-righteous, and incompetently-run companies like Boulder Bump Shop stay in business, ESPECIALLY in this town, and they'll certainly get no more calls from me in the future. It's places and people like that that give auto-body-shops such a bad rap!
Just for the record, I was a potential returning-customer. They screwed up on the first job, of course, but I figured I'd give 'em another shot, anyway. Anybody can make a mistake, occasionally, right?
BIG Mistake! A total and frustrating waste of time, nothing more.
If these guys give you a finish-date for a repair, all I can say is good luck with it actually happening. read more
