I honestly created a Yelp account just so I could give this place a great review :) I just got into my first car accident a few days ago and found a place called Toyo of Stockton, which had good reviews. The estimator looked at my car and told me it would cost about a grand to fix it (I had a mini heart attack at that point). Then he lowered his voice and said that if I paid him in cash, he would lower the price to $500 (which sounds very sketchy now that I think about it). I was desperate to have my car fixed though, so I went to the bank to get money and on the way back to that body shop, I saw Bugs and decided to come in and ask for an estimate because I figured it wouldn't hurt. They were technically supposed to be closed, but when one of the mechanics saw me pull into the lot, he held the door open for me and welcomed me in. Nathaniel greeted me with a warm smile and after I told him about my car woes, he took a look at it and said that he could fix it for a fraction of the price that Toyo of Stockton wanted! (woo!)
I brought my car in on Monday at 5 pm and they were done fixing it by noon the next day! I thought I would have to cancel my plans for that day, but thanks to their quick service, I didn't have to ^_^ The work they did was amazing!! My car looks like it was never in an accident. My front bumper and new side mirror looks and works great! So by a stroke of luck, I found this wonderful place and was able to save a ton of money (I ended up only paying about $230!). I was still a little paranoid, so I asked Nathaniel to check out my tire pressure and my door on the driver's side (I guess it came a little loose after the accident) and he happily took a look at it for me. I also had a mysterious smudge on one of my windows and Nathaniel cleaned it up even though I told him he didn't have to! He took care of my car like it was his own :) I even tried giving him a tip, but he simply wouldn't take it. How many people nowadays would refuse free money?! What an incredibly honest person! I know this is definitely a place that would not overcharge you.
Their great work and low pricing was wonderful by itself, but what impressed me the most was their INCREDIBLE customer service- which is very important to me. I really appreciated how kind Nathaniel was. His smile and sense of humor really calmed my nerves when I first came in, because I was still in shock after the accident (I literally took it in about an hour after it happened). After I dropped my car off, I didn't have a way of getting home, so he and his beautiful wife even gave me a ride!! (super cute couple, btw) I am just so grateful that I found this place and I wanted to thank Nathaniel and his team for being so amazing and doing good, honest work. I apologize for writing an essay, but they deserve the greatest praise possible and words cannot even describe how blessed I feel to have randomly found this place and met such awesome people. I hope I never get into another car accident, but if I ever need anything else, I know exactly where I'm going to go! Btw, it's only been two days and I've already recommended this place to two other friends, LOL :D read more
