I normally go to Caliber Collision on Colorado, but Geico recommended this place so I thought' "why not?" I had pretty extensive damage on passenger side of the vehicle right above both tires, afterwards there was a loud clicking noise when I'd turn my steering wheel left. I brought this to the attention of Michael at Fix Auto and to my adjuster. The whole process of getting my car fixed was an ordeal. Fix Auto estimated it would take a month for the car to be fixed, that was fine. I called twice asking about that noise I was hearing, gave me the run around; the third time they said it was my left front driver side axle. I assumed it had to do with the collision since the noise never happened before then, they stated it was normal wear and tear and just a coincidence. I took their word for it, cause their the professionals right? I got notified my car was ready a week early, awesome! My front bumper sat weird, they said that's as good as it would get. There were a few more little things, but the biggest thing was when Michael tried to turn on my car after bringing it to the front and it wouldn't turn on. He popped the hood, wiggled the wires attached to my battery, the car turned on. He tried to say I was going to need to replace the connectors for my battery and that I'm going to need to pop the hood and wiggle the wires to get my car on, I told him no that they needed to fix it, it was unacceptable. He tried to say the previous people that touched my car must have done something and I told him they were the only ones to touch my battery and before them was the Honda Dealership in 2017 when I bought the car. They got it fixed, said the mechanic forgot to tighten the connectors. Drove off, noticed a weird banging noise. They didn't put my car back correctly, the panel inside my car was hanging off, the lining on the roof of my car was black, they dirtied it. The panel on my trunk lid was coming off and my front bumper wasn't sitting correctly. Geico said it was all unacceptable and to take it back. I took it back showed the manager all the issues then he asks, "what do you want me to do?" I told him you need to fix those things I just paid my $500 deductible. He said they'd give me a call to let me know when to expect it to be done. No call all whole week, I called and spoke to some lady and she said they'd call me back, never happened. I called Geico told them them this was unacceptable and I didn't trust the shop with my car and that if there's further issues with my car I wanted a second opinion. They informed me my car was ready. There was a huge scratch above the trunk panel, the trunk panel had compound all over the crevices and my trunk looked funky. The guy said the compound was normal and that it would go away over time, but when I addressed the big scratch above it and mentioned my trunk looked weird he tried to say we didn't touch your trunk. How can you replace my rear bumper and clearly mess with my trunk lid and then say you guys never worked on my trunk??? Interesting. Drove off and keep hearing a banging sound, went to the Honda dealership down the street, found my exact make model and year there, inspected the trunks and realized my trunk wasn't sitting correctly it was shifted upwards. I call Geico, asked for a second opinion, they said no take it to Fix Auto I said i have a right to a second opinion. I took it to Caliber they fixed the issue for free. Fix Auto never bolted down the metal latch that holds down the trunk when you close it so that's why it was making the noise. I took my car to Honda to replace the left front axle, then took my car to get an alignment Fix Auto never did it. Mechanic stated something wrong with my right side axle and front suspension. I spoke to Michael asked him what was going on because they said it was the left axle, he stated the mechanic listened out for it. I asked if he actually looked at it, then he said "yeah, he listened out for it and said it sounded like the front left axle", I asked, "did he listen for it or did he look at it? Because those are two different things". Michael then said yeah he looked at it to and said that was the only issue, but that it's in no way correlated to the collision. Paid Honda of Pasadena to diagnose my car, the mechanic stated my right axle, driver shaft, R/L sway bar links, were all cracked due to collision. Mechanic told me there was no excuse for Fix Auto mechanic to miss or overlook this damage, that it was negligent and unsafe to have given me the car like that. the trunk panel started falling off again and my rear passenger side door was not put on right, when I drove you could hear the wind coming into the vehicle.There is no excuse for the poor job cosmetically and it's appalling how negligent Fix Auto was with the mechanical issues of my vehicle. I'm grateful those cracked parts didn't break on me while I was driving, because that could've been bad. Caliber Collision fixed my vehicle after all this. read more
