I am very disappointed on this people. They treat their clients well but wait to you see how they treat their own staff or people that supply to them. And even some people won't get the service because they are way behind schedule. Reasons they don't treat their staff with love.

I plan to go back and have the work done there. Highly recommend.

I recently brought my pickup to BOR to have my catalytic converters replaced. My check engine light…read morekept popping up for that issue. The staff at BOR were very receptive and responsive to my needs and arranged to replace my converters. Unfortunately, after all their hard work my check engine light came back. It turns out that when BOR discussed my repair options I opted for the cheap route and asked them to buy aftermarket converters. When I came back they found an exhaust leak and fixed that, and the light came back a second time I relented and asked them to get OEM converters. The OEM converters fixed the problem and my pickup is running great again! I have nothing but praise for how BOR worked with me, accommodated all my choices, and bent over backwards to help me get my truck working.

Better Off-Road? More Like Better Off Somewhere Else…read more I brought my 2002 Suburban Z71 to Better Off-Road with a clear, detailed diagnostic summary--11 specific issues, complete with history, symptoms, and codes. I gave them every benefit of the doubt. What I got in return was a $10,000 engine replacement estimate and a lazy guess. After eight full days of silence, they finally looked at the truck and performed a basic compression test. They found low readings on two cylinders and immediately recommended a full engine swap. No leak-down test. No spark plug inspection. No timing verification. Just a vague shrug and a five-figure solution. Here's the kicker: * They performed the wrong test first * Then charged again to do the right one * That's double billing for diagnostic failure A leak-down test is the industry standard when compression is low--it tells you why it's low. They didn't perform one until I hounded them. That's not oversight. That's negligence. When I finally arranged a tow to get it out of there on October 22, they refused to release the vehicle until I paid. Fair enough--but their phones were "offline for two days," yet their voicemail worked. Convenient. Then they charged me a 3% fee for using a Visa card. That's not standard. That's gouging. The technician who texted me couldn't write a coherent sentence. His diagnosis read like a fifth-grade book report. I wouldn't trust this shop to change a bicycle tire, let alone diagnose a complex engine issue. Bottom line: * They ignored a detailed diagnostic roadmap * They charged for incomplete diagnostics * They double-billed for doing it right * They stalled communication for eight days * They misrepresented fees * They showed zero professionalism I paid the bill because I honor my commitments. But they didn't honor theirs. I'll never go back--and I hope no one else does either. --David W. Klieman

I can not say enough good things about Skagit Grand Central - from my first call to them after my…read morecar was hit by a semi to the drop off process to how nice the location was kept to the update calls along the way - everyone was professional, helpful & so friendly. As for their workmanship, my car looked perfect after the repairs - plus they detailed the interior & removed a stain in the seat upholstery that had nothing to do with the accident!! And, even with needing parts ordered, from drop off to pick up was only ten days!! They also worked so well with my insurance company. If you ever find yourself in need of auto body repair, I highly recommend trusting them with your vehicles!!

Within an hour of taking it in for an estimate they had it worked out with my insurance company and called me to make the appointment. Minimal downtime as Francisco ordered the parts ahead of time (I needed a new door plus body work). I took it in on a Monday afternoon and Francisco called me with updates along the way. It was ready Thursday (3 days!) They even cleaned/vacuumed it out for me (it was a real mess!). Additionally, since I needed to pay out of pocket for a new windshield, Francisco let me arrange to have a local company put in the windshield while it was at their shop, so I wasn't further inconvenienced. I'm very happy with the service I received at Skagit Grand Central Collision!
