    This is after the $1000  "repair"
    Brandon W.

    Unfortunate experience. Work was performed paint was not color sanded or buffed. After a month or so a large portion of the dent returned. Communicated with them for a couple months promised to come repair it. Never happened I got the work redone and asked for a refund. After getting the run around for about her several months where I agreed to work with them as work was slow. They went dark. Update 10/4/24 they saw the review and immediately called me. He cussed me out for being unreasonable and refused to accept responsibility. Called me a piece of $hit and hung up. Things what I get for trying to work with them.

    I cannot recommend Independence Autobody enough! From Amber replying immediately to my message on Yelp to Roman completing the repair, everything was perfect!! My car had a dent from a little parking lot incident and it is no longer noticeable at all!! I literally hugged Roman once he completely the repair because I was so grateful!! Thank you, Roman & Amber!!! If this happens again, I'll be coming back to y'all for sure!!

    Roman did a fantastic job with my daughter's Toyota Rav 4. After texting pics of the damage Roman gave me a very reasonable quote and we got it scheduled. He came to our house, showed up on time and it took about 3 hours. I was pleasantly surprised how good it turned out and have already recommended him to 2 friends. Once the work is done you can't drive for a few hours and can't wash it for about 3 days which was not a problem. You won't be disappointed!!

    Shout out to Roman and Amber! I reached out for a quote and received it same day pretty quick. The price was great considering all the work Roman puts into the repairs and the fact that they come to you! As you can see on the photos I needed a dent removed and a part of my bumper fixed. Roman did amazing removing the dent and repairing my bumper. I couldn't be more happy with the work and professionalism from both Amber and Roman! I will definitely be using them again and referring everyone I know! Thanks again to you both!

    Roman and Amber are a great example of why it's great to do business with a small company. Very professional, responsive, and frankly worth every penny. Any kind of autobody work can be expensive (as you know if you're searching these reviews). I had some fender flares painted to match my trucks color and it was a great experience and I will absolutely give them more business if anything else surfaces.

    I sent Roman 4 pics of the back passenger side corner of my 2018 Tundra that I crunched backing into a pylon at a gas station (Yeah, too much reliance on the beep that never came from the back-up sensors and camera). After the quote came back I had a feeling that the pics I sent didn't give quite the full gravity of the damage I had done. Looking at things in 2D verses seeing them first hand are two very different things. When he got to my house I asked him if it was worse than he thought it would be and he said yes, "...but the price doesn't change". As he got into his 3rd hour of work on it I went outside to check in and asked him on a scale from easiest to toughest where did this job rank on what he's done in the past and he said, "Easily the toughest I've ever tried". Fast forward a couple of hours later and Roman has it fixed to the extent that my tail light (which was completely crushed along with its housing) reinstalled flawlessly and operational and he's got my tailgate back on its hinge where I am no longer worried about hitting a pothole and having the whole thing fall off in the road. That's when he says, pensively, "Do you want the good news or the bad news?" I said hit me with all of it. As it turns out Tundras have aluminum beds, which is the one kind of metal than he didn't have the tools for to do the kind of job that he insists on doing. That's when he tells me he can go no further (the bad news) and then says "No charge for any of the work" (the good news). He was ready to walk away with nothing for 5 hours of hard work and progress to the point that it not only looked a lot better, but now my truck was driveable again because I had a working tail light. I ended up splitting the difference plus a bit more from the quote he gave and handed him the check, which he tried to refuse. I wouldn't let him, however. What a stand-up dude and how refreshing in this day and age. Roman will get plenty of work from me going forward. In this world of overpromise and underdeliver, this man did not get the memo.

    A white vehicle scraped my rear bumper in a parking lot. No note was left, and my deductible is $1000. I found Independence Autobody on Yelp and requested a quote. Amber got back with me immediately and the price came in under the deductible and was very reasonable. We set up a date for Roman to come to our home. He brought everything he needed to do an excellent job. I highly recommend his company.

    Amber and Roman were amazing to work with. I got my bumper replaced and they could not have made the process easier for me. They are Extremely responsive and very helpful!! They were also very flexible as I have a busy work schedule, they worked with me to find a good time to meet me and do the repair. I will for sure use them again!!

    This is after he fixed it
    Veronica G.

    I really struggled finding someone that could fix my Tesla model 3 but I found this company. Amber the owner, called the same day and Roman came the day after. My car was hit while it was parked. Roman was very honest about not being able to fix it 100% but I am very happy with the results. He did an amazing job and I would really recommend this company to everyone.

    Sterling Auto Collision

    (47 reviews)

    More than a nightmare. A life changing experience. I had an accident around 10/30/21…read more I waited until 8/22 before I took my 2019 Infinity Q60 red line sport to Sterling Auto collision, (SAC), because I loved my car. It was driving fine. Visibly it looked llike rminor damage. Fender, grill, bumper, and deployed airbag. I've never had a nice car, so I was enjoying it while I could. Thought I'd get a pretty car. Maybe my life would change.  It did. 2 initial checks were written by State Farm to start work, 8/22 and 10/22 totaling $16,152.60. Additional amendments to damage kept coming. 1/23 for $4658.50, for headlights. 2 headlights that worked perfectly for 9 months, while I drove my pretty car. They bought brand new headlights. Why? Why that much? IT'S NOT A FERRARI. I doubt Ferrari headlights cost that much, especially if nothing is wrong with them. Slow poking for a year, to 8/23. Another check, written directly to Sterling, for $3962.92. Up another $8621.42. Now they're were at $24,777.62. But wait, there's more, we're not done. NOT EVEN CLOSE. They almost double that #. Bleeding me as I made $1000 a month payments on loan and ins., for almost 1 1/2 years. Trying to destroying my life. Like the family they almost ruined about the same time. They gave SAC an F on BBB. Unfortunately I have no family. My prospects become dimmer day by day. Because of SAC.  Time passed, they dragged on, stalling, not answering calls, no emails or calling me once. My calls went unanswered, or ignored. Once, I reached Joey, the owner. I asked, "where's my car, why has it taken well over a year"? He says, "let me check on that, puts me on hold10 minutes, then hangs up on me. That's how they treated me, LIKE TRASH. They knew all the angles. What they could get away with. Masters of deception, with no consciencee. Thinking there are no consequences for violating others. No mercy, just one goal. The art of the scam. Joey's peons, Mel and others, constantly stalled, lied, schemed. Working their magic. Over 13 months into "their project" I stopped in, to inspect the condition of my car and make sure it would still start, as it baked in full sun, totally diccoloring my dash, but still with that new car smell.. Thankfully it started right up.That high performance engine, on a car I could only dream of. Honestly, I had'nt seen much of anything done on it, except the fender. The bumper hung on the wall, as Mel said, that's it, we're almost finished. "When will it be done?", I said. Mel says,"it only needs 2 MORE WEEKS, we need to get it out  of here". More time passed as State Farm kept paying. Oddly, directly to Sterling, instead of me, that I'd transfer to SAC. The coup de gras de fraud was when SF wrote a final check for...GET THIS, $23,164.01! Then SAC abandoned the car at Infinity of Austin, for the finishing touche. That airbag, an outrageously priced one. I called Infinity to check on the airbag. "Is it installed?", they said, "we know nothing about an airbag. Car was dropped off and SAC said, IT WON'T START". I said, are you telling me you never got $23,000 to put an airbag in?"  There I was, making $1,000 payments for allmost 18 months om a loan & ins. It was obvious I was never going to get my car back. It was taken by Cinch Auto finance, after they were told it was ABANDONED, with only 4k to payoff a loan. SICK! The only nice car I've owned. Driving stinky work trucks for over 40 years. The $23,164.01?  What happened to that? Pocketed by SAC. A little "bonus". The pleasure derived by F****** ME, and getting very well paid for that privaledge. When I called up Sterling and asked "what happened to the $23k? It was Mel or another peon who said, "oh, we spent that $ on parts for the airbag. I said, "then why in the hell did you send it to infinity, after telling me you were not qualified to install airbags?!" Frauds, liars, manipulators, schemers, theives.

    I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the service provided by Sterling Auto…read moreconcerning the repair of my vehicle following hail damage. My experience has been fraught with delays, subpar workmanship, and a lack of effective communication. Timeline and Financial Commitment: * June 2024: I entrusted my vehicle to Sterling Auto for repairs related to hail damage. * August 2024: I remitted the full payment of $11,524.46 ,anticipating a comprehensive and timely restoration. Issues Encountered: * Incomplete Repairs: After nine months, several components, including the windshield, moonroof glass, and various trim, remain either unprepared or not relaced. Some parts under the hood are missing. * Substandard Workmanship: The trunk was improperly reinstalled, and the vehicle emblems were not reattached, reflecting a lack of attention to detail. * Management Instability: The frequent turnover of managers has contributed to inconsistent communication and a lack of accountability. Mel, Demetri and then Abel. Also Joey Hayes the owner was contacted but never responded as well. * Communication Deficiencies: Repeated attempts to obtain updates via emails and phone calls have largely been unreturned, leaving me without clear information regarding the status of the repairs. The vehicle was returned to me upon my request for use in financial needs, after a check was handed to the manager at the time Mel in person for $11,524.46, with a promise to repair the vehicle in a timely manner at a later date in one business day. That was in August of 2024. The repairs are yet to be completed. Communication with the multiple new managers was dragged on with promises of looking into it and looking into parts. We met with Abel in person on Feb 17th. He promised the trim, windshield, moonroof and other parts would be ordered and replaced. Even including reattaching my left mirror which was unrelated to this event. I drove 3 hours there (I have moved since) and then drove 3 hrs back in the middle of the week. On Thursday March 6th at 1:21pm was the last communication from Abel (the manager) stating he was looking into parts. The same excuse given for months and months. At that time I asked for my money back. There was no response so a demand email was sent with a repair quote from another repair shop to Abel (manager), their support as well as Rachael and Joey Hayes email accounts Friday March 7th at 12:14pm. This demand was never responded to. Current Situation: The latest communication from the new manager, Abel, indicates that the shop is currently managing a backlog of 20 vehicles, suggesting systemic inefficiencies that adversely affect customer service. Personal Impact: This protracted ordeal has imposed significant emotional and financial stress on me and my family. As a longstanding patron of Sterling Auto for over a decade, this experience has been particularly disheartening. My commitment to supporting local businesses in our community has been met with an unprecedented level of dissatisfaction. Recommendation: Prospective customers are advised to exercise caution when considering Sterling Auto for vehicle repairs. My experience underscores the importance of thoroughly evaluating a repair shop's current operational effectiveness and customer service responsiveness before entrusting them with substantial repair projects. It is my hope that Sterling Auto addresses these issues promptly to restore the trust and confidence of its clientele.

    This is the best bodyshop I have ever found, SERIOUSLY best service ever. They are the most…read morefriendly, hardworking group. I told my mom to bring her car here in the future (from Dallas). They fixed everything on my car for the BEST price and returned a NEW car to me! I've never had a better experience. I will post after pics

    I would never recommend Alfredo Collision to anyone…read more I brought my vehicle to this shop after a collision that affected the rear passenger-side wheel. The repair required replacing certain parts related to the suspension and wheel area. Unfortunately, my experience with this place was extremely frustrating from beginning to end. From the start, the woman working there who identifies herself as the Accounting Manager was rude, unprofessional, and very unhelpful. She behaved as if she owned the business, yet showed very little competence or willingness to resolve issues. I even asked to speak with the owner, Alfredo, and was given incorrect information about who the owner actually was. The biggest problem is that my vehicle was returned to me in worse condition than before the repair. After picking it up, the car started making loud noises that it never had before. This makes me seriously question the quality of the work performed. It also explains why they never wanted to provide any warranty for their labor. In addition, the shop kept my vehicle longer than expected and still attempted to charge $50 per day in late fees, which I find completely unreasonable considering the delays and the condition in which my car was returned. At this point, I plan to have my vehicle independently inspected to verify the quality of the work performed. If the inspection confirms my concerns, I will take the appropriate legal action. It is very disappointing to see a business treat customers this way. I honestly believe the owner may not be aware of how poorly this place is being managed and how much damage this type of behavior is doing to the reputation of the shop. I strongly recommend that anyone considering this place look elsewhere for repairs.
