    Friendly service. Remained in contact regarding my vehicle & worked well with my insurance. I appreciated that they vacuumed out the glass that was shattered and my car looked pretty clean upon return too.

    This was my second time in 8 months working with Imperial Auto Body due to my car being hit while parked in the street. Both times the staff was very helpful and the entire process from checking in and getting rental to updating me about estimate/repairs and picking up the vehicle was seamless! They were able to fix my car in 5-7 days both times. All the staff members I interacted with were very welcoming and professional and made sure I had a good experience. Hopefully, I won't have to get any repairs on my car any time soon but I will be sure to always choose Imperial for any repairs in the future.

They use low quality materials and when and if you find a mistake Diana will not take responsibility. She tried to gaslight me into telling me I hit something which we were looking at the same bumper and I hit nothing! She paid me $300 to go away. What small business owner does that?? unless they did something wrong? I expected her just to fix your mistake since my my front bumper was covered in spiderweb, cracks and flaking after just 2 1/2 months. She tried gaslighting me telling me I had hit something even though it was obvious that no such thing happened. I will be getting the remainder of my money from Small Claims Court. Three commercial auto body shops confirmed that it was for workmanship and poor materials that were the only way I would end up with the cracks you're seeing these pictures. So don't let the superficial fool you into believing you're getting a great deal or a good work because you're not it's worth the extra couple hundred dollars to have a professional fix your car. If I could leave less than one star I would. I was warned that she might say the following, and she said them all: * "That's normal settling" * "Plastic bumpers do that" * "Stone chips caused it" * "You must have hit somethin Advice: stay far far away. The review that follows this one is what I wrote when I first drove off the lot thinking she had done a great job... This review is the result 2 1/2 months later.

    I dropped my car off here after an accident that damaged my rear bumper. I have USAA and they made…read morethe claims process super easy and time saving. I was excited when they told me I could drop the car off almost walking distance from my house. Reviews were so-so, but I figured a simple repair wouldn't take too much time or energy. I came to the shop and a guy yelled at me for parking in the wrong spot. Okay? I figured he was just having a shitty day and wrote it off. Happens to the best of us. I go in and the office is rowdy, but the enterprise rental lady was super sweet. I decide to deal with the noise and stay. It's a body shop, not an office after all. I wish I wouldn't have dealt. A week later my car is ready to get picked up. My girlfriend dropped off my rental car and picked up my actual car. Two things to note here A- Her father owns a body shop, but I was too lazy to drive all the way to SE to get my car looked at. B- USAA waived my deductible because they're awesome. I informed the receptionist when I dropped the car off and showed her the paperwork proving that I was free and clear and that USAA waived everything. Cherner Collision refuses to give her the car because they insist I owe them $500. She tells them to call USAA because I do not. They argue with her. She tells them again to call USAA because they waived my deductible. Cherner Collision makes her sit their for an hour while they verified information I'd given them previously. Night begins to fall and they finally clear her todo a walk through and take the car. At dusk. In the dark. None of the mechanics could be bothered to walk her around the car and point everything they fixed out, however. Thankfully she has a background with cars and could evaluate everything and determine the car was good to go. Everything's perfect until she gets home and realize they didn't put my damn license plate on my damn car. I call Cherner Collision Center in a panic and ask them where the hell my plates are. He tells me they're DEFINITELY in the drivers side door. Or the glove compartment. Or the trunk. Or the rear window. Or the back seat. They then tell me to just put the front plate in the back; I have GA plates so I only have one plate. The one back plate is gone. I again call today and sit on hold for 20 minutes while the guys calls the mechanic who works on my car. They both have a million excuses and agree to "look around I guess." I guess? I want my damn plates! To add insult to injury, they replaced the bottom lip of my the bumper on my shiny ass dark gray car with a dull matte black part. The paint job is also off and my bumper is now a darker color then the rest of my car. My car has been a garage kept 2013 with absolutely no fading. Now it has 1/8th of a terrible paint job. When I brought this up I was offered a half hearted "well bring it back then." Dude. You've got to be kidding me. I am pissed at Cherner Collision and could possibly have been appeased if their customer service wasn't so "your problem not mine" about everything. But now I'm pissed that I have to send my car back to a shitty shop to have what shouldve been an easy fix fixed again. UPDATE- They never found my plates. My car sat in a lot for a MONTH AND A HALF while I waited for replacement tags from the GA DMV. They also scratched the hell out of my paint job. I have chips everywhere that no one noticed at dusk and now have to pay out of pocket to get my car repainted. I try to support neighborhood businesses, but never again in hell. I'll youtube it before I ever let them touch my baby again .

    I have a Hyundai Elantra that was originally painted with a defective paint that started peeling…read moreoff. Hyundai knew of the problem and gave an extended warranty. It referred me to a local dealership to exercise the warranty, and the dealership referred me to Crash Champions. But the dealership actually didn't want to do the work and tried everything it could to avoid acting on the warranty, but Mark at Crash Champions was my champion. He pushed the dealership to set up the financing arrangements, and although the dealership resisted for months, Mark stayed with it all the way to make the work got done and make sure everything came out right. It was the kind of service you hardly ever find these days. He's a good guy, the kind you want to deal with. Next time I need car work I will definitely go to Mark, and I recommend you do too.

    $21,245 repair, 102 days, used parts, zero accountability…read more I repaired my 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid (VIN: 5TDBBRCH2PS107289) at Crash Champions - Northwest DC (4121 13th St NW). This was an extremely bad experience. Claim #: 09-87F4-66Q01 Final repair amount: $21,245.15 Repair time: 102 days Despite the size and cost of this repair, the quality and professionalism were unacceptable. What actually happened: * The repair took 102 days from drop-off to pickup. * The official estimate shows extensive Non-OEM / LKQ / aftermarket parts used on a 2023 vehicle. * Only one tire was replaced with a different brand and different wear level. When I asked to replace tires in pairs, I was told "insurance didn't approve it." * The license plate frame was returned old, broken, glued back together, and reinstalled instead of being replaced. * If visible items were handled this way, it raises serious concerns about what was done in areas that cannot be seen. Crash Champions blamed the insurance company. The insurance company stated they paid the repair and that quality decisions were made by Crash Champions. Responsibility was constantly shifted. I was personally told that all issues would be corrected. I even received pickup messages from Michael Blackwell saying the vehicle was almost ready. Nothing was fixed. No one followed up. No one called back. This was a $21,000+ structural repair, not a minor job. The lack of quality control, transparency, and accountability is shocking. Strong warning: If your repair has not started yet, remove your vehicle from this shop immediately. Once your car is in, you may lose control over the quality of what gets installed. All of the above is documented in the official Crash Champions repair estimate.

We asked for a shorter time since it was my daughter's spring break. At first they said it was ok but then they changed their mind. They insisted on a minimum of three weeks. I think that they run a racket on the tesla loaners and charge the insurance with luxury rentals. Their main focus was to secure as much money they could procure for themselves ignoring all the requests of the customers. In total they took around $12,000 for a repair of less than $2000 for an average paint shop. (they tell everyone a minimum of three weeks!)

They gave me a repair estimate of $17,335.18 on October 15, which seemed reasonable, and I assumed work was being done. For over two months, I waited with no updates. Suddenly, on December 5, they emailed demanding the loaner back immediately and threatened a police report for "failure to return a rental vehicle." I called their rep (Alfonso), who said he would extend the loaner--he never followed up. That evening, the loaner was remotely disabled (Valet Mode) while I was driving, stranding me overnight in 20°F snowy/rainy weather on a busy DC street. I had to pay for towing myself to avoid freezing. The next morning (December 6), they called police (Rockville and Prince George's County), claiming I failed to return the rental. They also told officers my Florida license was "fake" or fraudulent. Police cleared me immediately. I repeatedly explained my disabilities (immune-compromised, OCD, ADHD, anxiety) and asked for accommodations to get my medication and belongings from the loaner (less than ¼ mile away at a friend's house). They refused and left me stranded without transportation or meds ever since. Now they demand over $14,000 in storage/rental fees--almost as much as the repair estimate--yet no work was ever done on my car. I have video, emails, bills, and records. This was unsafe, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Avoid if you value safety and clear communication.
