I hydroplaned doing 55 mph on I80. I lost control and went right into the guard rail. The front was totaled - hood crumpled; passenger side door stuck shut; all lights destroyed; frame bent; radiator dented; and much, much more. Somehow, I wasn't hurt and managed to drive away from that.
I got my car to Hoppel Auto Body. I gave them my insurance information and that was it. They took the ball and ran with it. They made their estimate and had the insurance company out to make theirs. Of course the insurance company came in a bit lower and that is because they wanted to use cheap, used parts. Hoppel was an advocate for me, recognizing that I take good care of my car and it being fairly new (2014 Malibu), he insisted on new parts. Anyway, they hashed everything out with the insurance company and even made my deductible disappear.
So, the parts were ordered and the car was fixed. All along the way, I got phone calls with status updates. It was a pretty quick process and I got the car back perfect. You cannot tell that the car was in an accident in any way. Overall, this was a great experience. I recommend Hoppel Auto Body to everyone in need. read more
