This auto body shop was recommended by our car dealership. We had a lot of confidence in them so we decided to go with them. We dropped off our car and picked up a rental arranged by the opposing insurance company, which was waiting at the on-site car rental agency. The rental was filthy and smoky but we suffered through a week of driving it. When we were told our car was ready for pickup, we anxiously drove to pick it up, only to find that a large part of the promised work had not been completed, which was only discovered after we had to demand the car be washed for inspection because it had been sitting outside and was filthy. After inspecting it and discovering the half-finished job, we demanded a clean rental car and for the rest of the work they had promised to do, be done. So after nearly another week, we were told it was ready and returned to the shop and inspected it. We thought it looked good and took it home, only to discover in the lower light of our garage that a section of paint was botched and there was a dent we hadn't seen before. So, back to the shop again where the receptionist was rude as if we were expecting to have them do more work than the insurance would cover, even though I told her I only wanted the original work to be done right. The car was inspected and we were told it definitely needed to be fixed and he thought it was the clear coat and could be buffed out. So again, we had to be without the car for another few days (didn't ask for a rental again because the second one wasn't much better than the first). The next day we received a call telling us it was discovered that the body work had been botched, not the paint. So a few days later when we returned to pick it up when it was done, at first sight, it looked good. The paint looked good and the dent was removed, but I was unhappy to see scuff marks in several places on the rubber/vinyl bumper that were not previously there. The gal who was talking with us about it said it probably wasn't scratches and would wipe off. She was the receptionist who earlier had been rude but now she was doing everything she could to try and make us happy (too little, too late). She wiped it down and it did look better but obviously someone caused those scuff marks and she only hid them with whatever she wiped it with. She wanted to know if we were satisfied and I said definitely not but I wasn't allowing them to touch my car again. She insisted that she wanted us to be satisfied and I told her if they couldn't get it right in three tries, they didn't seem to be able to do a quality job at all.
Do yourself a favor and don't go to Boulder Bump. You'll be sorry.
