Do NOT Trust Bernache Autobody…read more I honestly don't even know where to start with how bad my experience was with Bernache Autobody. It's been almost six months since I took my truck there for repairs after hitting a deer, and I'm still finding issues that they caused. In fact, they've caused more damage to my truck than the deer did! Here's the situation: I hit a deer while driving at 40 mph. The only damage was a dented front bumper and some broken plastic in the grill. I continued driving my truck for weeks after, and then went through my insurance to get it repaired at Bernache. After about three weeks, I finally got my truck back--and it was an absolute disaster. The bumper was crooked, they used zip ties to fasten the wheel wells, the headlight wiring was just hanging underneath the truck, the fog lights were crooked and nonfunctional, and there were missing bolts and nuts throughout the front of the truck. This was not professional work; it looked like a child had put it together. Naturally, I sent the truck back. After another week, I got it back, and the problems only got worse. The headlights were now full of water (they claimed it was because the insurance provided cheap ones) and the daytime running lights were flickering. To top it off, my truck threw an engine code related to the radiator louver--a part they had touched. So, back to the shop it went. ....My truck is relatively new and had been in immaculate condition before the collision. After the third time I got it back, I realized they had replaced several front grill pieces with cheap aftermarket parts, which weren't even damaged in the collision. It felt like they were just trying to cut corners at every turn. Frankly, I feel like they're scamming people. The work they did is subpar at best, and I can't imagine how many other customers have left that shop thinking their vehicles were repaired by professionals, only to find out they were hastily thrown together with zip ties and inferior parts. I would not trust Bernache Autobody with any vehicle. If you care about your car or truck, go somewhere else.

I mean whoever heard of such a thing, 34,000 dollars, CASH and they cant put the racks on. I cant unless I have the tools, I paid for the bars but they are useless to me (201 dollars). So I called quirk and told them that I was coming in Tuesday after the holiday, either have a check for me or take me in immediately, this is abuse. The person on the phone said they notify each department, like I believe that after the way I have been treated) would someone who knows what they are doing there and understands how this works from Quirk corporate please contact me. Let's just put this to bed...call me and resolve this once and for all. All I ask is you finish this sale and sell me the car I paid for, not in pieces or give me my money back and I know there are plenty of car dealers in this beautiful state who would love my cash. I want the car I paid for and I dont deserve to sit and waste my time in your waiting room due to you errors. . I spent my Monday afternoon there (8/29/22) because of what you failed to do and now I have to come back again for another thing you failed to do...I will not sit around there again waiting, I paid a lot for this car and all I want is what I paid for, a complete car. PLEASE SOMEONE FROM QUIRK PICK UP YOUR PHONE AND CALL ME. IT WONT BE HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHO I AM. Like I said I am 63, I have bought a lot of cars and I have never seen a thing like this, ever. Pure abuse

Vehicle was serviced by quirk for a recall in Nov 2013 with 38429 miles, Safety recall N08/NHTSA…read more13V-038 Rear Axle Pinion Nut. The recall required a lock nut to be installed as the rear axle pinion nut were reported to loosen due to undersized pinion shaft splines which results in the rear axle to seize and cause the drive shaft to separate and stop vehicle. On 5/24/19 at 0030 hours this same vehicle with 64084 miles had the rear axle seize and drive shaft separate and fall to the ground and vehicle immediately come to a stop nearly going off the road. On 5/30/19 I was informed by a certified Dodge dealer service Manger (Lee Dodge of Westbrook Maine) that the repairs totaling $3361.85 should be disputed as the damage resulted from an improperly done Recall for this issue. The Lock nut was not installed. Numerous attempts to work this issue out with Dodge/Chrysler have been unsuccessful, in fact the Service Regional Manager for both dealers refused to acknowledge the issue and will not contact me to discuss. She refused claiming I may have had work done and the pinion nut removed. Up until this mechanical failure I was under the impression that the vehicle had a lifetime drive tran warranty and would of never paid for work to be done. Quirk and Regional Manager who refused to contact me provided no help and extremely poor customer service.

I filed my claim with GEICO, and at first my estimate was within the range of repairs. About a week later I received a phone call from this business notifying me that my estimate had gone up double the cost for repairs, which put it in range of a total loss. When I looked over the list of newly added repairs, a lot of the things had NOTHING to do with the damage caused by what I had listed on my claim. It felt like they just tacked on a bunch of extra BS to up the cost and declare it a total loss. I'm very, very upset about the loss of my car, as it was my only transportation. While this may not be their fault entirely, I can't help but feel that I was let down.
