My insurance company sent my daughter's car to Tom & Ed's for repair. They started pressuring her…read moreto come in to the shop to approve the work before the insurance company had approved it (which might have made her responsible for more than her deductible). They then lied to her about not needing insurance approval. They also lied about what they were having her sign. I'm the policyholder (and an insurance defense attorney), so I asked them to send me the form, and they refused to do so. Instead, they refused to work on the car altogether and insisted that the car be taken to another shop. Which I was more than happy to do! Very shady behavior.

I just want to send a huge thank you to Bob. My daughter was hit from behind while traveling home…read morefrom college in Virginia. Her car was not drivable home to Chicago. After calling 3 other local body shops, 2 of whom never even answered their phones, I called CDE. Bob was calm and promised me he would take care of my daughter. He removed the portion of her rear bumper that was on the ground and cut off her exhaust where it was smashed in. He calmed her down, gave her a bottle of water and got my daughter back on the road home so her car could be fixed locally. Bob, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of my girl. Sincerely, Sherry Shea

They knew and admitted to messing up my car, but wouldn't admit it to my insurance company. After they were supposed to fix their mistakes, I feel they purposely started messing with my car. There were new scratches, noises, dings on window, white paint (my car is black), extremely noticeable swirls on my ENTIRE car. My tinted windows were ruined. THEY DID A HORRIBLE JOB ON MY CAR. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Now I'm stuck trying to find someone to fix their damage and paying for a rental since they maxed out mine.
