I had my Audi A4 repaired with Carstar back in February due to getting t-boned. It all started…read moreokay. The girls at the front desk are very friendly and nice. They have great customer service skills. Each time I called to get an update on my car I was told it was "being worked on". So, I show up one day unannounced at about 3:45p and ask to see my Audi and its "progress". Well, no progress, surprise, surprise! My car was dismantled, obviously dirty, no door panels, passenger doors wide open with the front passenger seat very dirty; I should have taken pictures of it. I asked where the progress they spoke of was, and I was told the guy working on my car was going to start on it in a few minutes. It was 3:45p, and he was JUST about to get started on my car. At 3:45p!!! My car had been sitting there ALL day long not getting worked on but each time I called to ask for an update, I was told my car was "being worked on". Each time, I'm sure I was being lied to by this guy, and I can't even remember his name. I showed up unannounced twice and found my Audi in the same condition; not being worked on and being told it was going to get worked on. Who starts working on a car at 3:45-4p when you close at 5:30p?! Then I started getting emails saying my car was going to be ready on said date. I would then call to follow up only to be told, again, it was "still being worked on". That went on for about 2 weeks. Their excuse was the doors to an Audi are not the easiest to put back on. Of course, I call Audi and speak to the people I know there, and they all tell me the doors take 1 day to put back on, 2 days max if the doors don't align, but this "we're still working on it" had already gone on for about 2 weeks. It doesn't take 2 weeks to get doors put back on any car!
Time to pick up my car. I get home and it's dark by then so the next day I'm looking over it and find the car is filthy. No one bothered to properly clean my car; inside or out. The seat belt was super dusty. Underneath the passenger seat you could see the dirt, the base of the door, the back passenger floor also had dirt/dust on it. And they tried to hide by putting the floor mat in a way where you couldn't really tell BUT I could! The base of the back passenger door was also filthy; full of that gray dust/powder. The person who washed my AUDI did a real shitty job at washing it too. Left the entire car spotty and dusty. I had to go back the next day to have them clean it up. Clearly that guy does not pride himself in the work he does nor does anyone else, obviously or they would not have turned in such a dirty car to a customer. AND because I never sit on the passenger side of my AUDI, I didn't immediately notice that when the doors slam, they sound hollow. So basically, to get rid of me ASAP because I'm sure I was a pain in the ass to them, all they did was slap the door panels back on my AUDI, put the doors back on the car and called it a day. My driver side doors are heavy and when they shut there is no hollow sound to them.
Am I going to take my car back to have them fix it? Probably not because I don't need them keeping my car for another 2 weeks just to have it sitting there the entire time and not work on it, while I'm without a vehicle. Mind you, the doors aren't even of a 2019 or new Audi. The doors are from a fucking 2017 Audi!!! As if they were paying the damage on MY car. The least they could have done was get doors of a 2019 or new model. The very least!
Would I go back? Nope
Do I recommend Carstar? Nope
Was I satisfied with their work? Nope
There was absolutely nothing positive about this experience with Carstar! I would have been better off driving my car out to San Antonio and leaving it at Caliber Collision near Fair Oaks. Now the customer service there...superb!!! Lesson learned!!
