My daughter got into an accident in my car over the summer and even though I had a bad experience with another Caliber Collision in the past, I gave them a shot. I knew things were going wrong from the start when they offered to send a tow truck to pick up my vehicle from my driveway and they couldn't manage to do so in a timely manner. It took them days to arrange a tow. I even offered to have AAA tow it to them because they couldn't manage it. I get that they can't control towing companies, but this is still very unprofessional, especially since they never called me to tell me they had problems. I had to keep after them and that set the stage for the entire encounter. After they had the car, granted, it took my insurance some time to give them the okay and I don't blame them for that, but once they had it, it took them forever to get the work done and they were full of excuses. They promised me that they would call every Tuesday and Thursday to keep me up to date. How many times did they call me? Not once. Every single contact had to come from me and when I called, they were really nice, every single person there is really nice, but they aren't at all honest. Depending on who you talked to, you'd get a completely different story. One told me that the car was finished, they were just waiting for hinges for the hood. The very next day, I was told they were waiting for some wiring parts and hadn't put the bumper back on. It seems they're just saying whatever it takes to get you off the phone and off their back. And they keep promising things that they can't deliver. They promised it would be done one day, I took that day off work so I could pick it up and it wasn't done. They're costing me time and money because they can't keep their promises. Worse, the day before I picked it up, they finally called and said they couldn't get the car started, like they hadn't even tried to start it the whole time it was there. How do you even do an estimate if you don't test to see what's wrong? It took them even more time to figure out what was wrong. When they finally finished it, I told them I'd be in first thing in the morning when they opened because my wife had to get to work, so have everything ready and when I got there, none of the paperwork was printed, the car hadn't been washed, I ended up sitting there for an hour waiting for them to do the things they should have done ahead of time. And the car wasn't even done! There were cosmetic things that I had to point out weren't finished and while they pretended that it was all on order (sure it was), I know they just missed it. They told me I could bring the car back the next day and they'd finish it up. And of course, the parts weren't there so it took even longer. Finally, the manager, knowing how badly they'd screwed up, said he ordered a $50 gift card for us and that we'd have it in a couple of days. Never happened. Another lie. We never heard from them again. He tries to buy us off, and he even begged me to give him good reviews, and then he screws that up too. Yes, there are things that happened that were beyond their control and I don't blame them for that, but the things they had control over, they were really awful at. And the more I started talking to people about Caliber, the more I realized that nobody I could find who had a car fixed there was satisfied. One friend told me that their car died before they even got it out of the lot. It was just failure after failure after failure, broken promise and lie after broken promise and lie. Now the people are really sweet and I have no problem at all with the quality of the work once they finally got it done. It's just all the rigamarole that we had to go through, the complete lack of anything resembling customer service, the fact that they were entirely reactive, not proactive, that I had to be the one to initiate every contact even when they promised otherwise, I just can't give them my recommendation. They do good work, it's just a nightmare getting to that point. read more
