I've lived in the area for about 10 years and have used Hardin Valley Body Shop on a few occasions for myself and family. The work has always been excellent. This repair was different because it was on a pristine truck I bought new and kept in showroom condition--no scratches or blemishes prior to the wreck. I've attached before-and-after photos for reference. The results exceeded my expectations: the truck was restored not just to pre-accident condition, but to the same flawless state it was in the day I drove it off the lot. The repairs were precise, and the detailing was outstanding--every inch of the truck was immaculate. They could easily run a top-tier detail service on the side. The staff was professional, responsive, and genuinely customer-focused. It felt like they were working directly for me rather than just following insurance directives. If you're ever in need of collision repair in this area, Hardin Valley Collision is one of the best options you'll find--high-quality work, thorough attention to detail, and a helpful team. Highly recommended.

WOW, AN HONEST auto repair shop!! My wife and I are retired…read moreand need to watch what we spend, so we haven't had cruise control working on our car since we bought it a couple months ago. I called around looking to get it fixed before a trip we've been planning, and they were the first shop that told me that they could "probably" get it fixed for us. Their initial diagnostic fee for this was just $75. We dropped it off and when they called us back and said the repair was simple and easy they were only going to charge us for the simple repair, and that no parts were needed other than some new wiring. They could have charged us hundreds and told us something major was wrong, but they were honest and fixed only what was wrong, and didn't carge for something they didn't do. THANKS SO MUCH! 5 STARS!

What was supposed to be a two-week repair turned into over two months of delays, mistakes, repeat…read morerepairs, and frustration. I took my Tesla to Harper Collision only because Tesla referred them as the local preferred body shop after road debris damage. The original work included windshield and headlight replacement plus repainting multiple areas. The windshield caused a major delay because Harper didn't open a ticket with Tesla to investigate the shipping issue until I specifically asked them to. When I finally went to pick up the car, I immediately noticed unrepaired damage along the sides before I even got in. I reported it to Amy, which led to another estimate, insurance supplement, and more paint work. The car also still had residue and debris from the repairs and hadn't been properly cleaned. Manager Austin later called and was extremely defensive, shifting responsibility onto me instead of simply acknowledging the missed damage. He even checked security footage to confirm I hadn't driven away before reporting it. During the second round of repairs, they accidentally broke my driver's side window. They said no local Tesla location had one in stock, so I called around myself, found two in Chattanooga, and offered to pick one up. They declined; a window was later overnighted from Nashville. When I picked the car up again the paint was about 99% acceptable, and I was too tired to keep fighting over the remaining imperfections. But the problems still weren't over. The driver's door speaker hadn't been reinstalled correctly and was rattling, so I had to take it back in. On the drive home I discovered the cameras hadn't been properly calibrated, which affected the driver-assistance features and nearly caused an accident. Back to Harper again after that visit they returned the car still in Service Mode. I still occasionally hear what sounds like broken glass rattling inside the driver's door (presumably from the window they broke). At this point I'm too exhausted to take it back again. I would not recommend Harper Collision and will never trust them with another vehicle.

After two minor accidents in less than six months, plus an unrelated power window issue that started before the second accident, I can't say enough good things about James and everyone at Mr. Cool's Collision. From the very first interaction, the whole team made a stressful situation feel manageable. They were warm, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with, and both repairs were finished ahead of schedule. Each time I picked up my car, it looked fantastic - clean, restored, and like nothing had ever happened. What really set them apart, though, was what happened months later. About eight months after my second repair, I was still dealing with the power window problem. Since it had nothing to do with collision work, James could have easily brushed it off and sent me elsewhere. Instead, he took the time to track down the issue and made sure my windows were working again. That kind of follow-through is rare, and it meant a lot. After a bad experience at a chain auto repair shop, this level of honesty, care, and accountability was an enormous relief. If you're a woman who's ever felt dismissed or has been taken advantage of when it comes to repairs, you probably know exactly how much that matters. If you're ever in the unfortunate situation of needing collision repairs, I highly recommend Mr. Cool's Collision.

SIX HOURS LATER, yes sitting in their waiting room the whole time, asked if it was ready. The lady said yes, we ran a check engine light test and a smoke test, those both came back clear, So here are the recommendations of what MIGHT get the light to turn off. The grand total of what they think MIGHT be the problem is over $4,000. In the meantime the total for the tests that showed absolutely nothing was over $350. Definitely taking advantage of customers that do not know the reason their light was on. Customer Service never once checked in to let me know the tests were still being performed, never mentioned the smoke test was going to take over 4 hours (which should have only taken less than 2 hours), never once mentioned she was sorry this was taking so long, never once said thank you for your patience.

I filled the car with oil and waited another 500 miles to see if I had a service issue or a car issue. The oil remained fine. When I went in to talk through my concerns with the owner I never once received an apology. Instead it was a litany of how that couldn't have happened. We'll be using another garage from now on. I understand mistakes happen but when your business model is to refuse responsibility for them it's a disaster waiting to happen.

The manager, Michael, allayed my apprehension, assuring me that since the transmission had to be pulled anyway, that everything would be inspected and repaired or replaced. They replaced two seals and had it running like NEW in one day. They could have replaced EVERY part in it and I really would have expected that. They are honest, almost to a fault, I'll NEVER take a transmission anywhere else. THERE ARE NO REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS AVAILABLE FOR A 1997 GEO PRIZM and I'm certain that Michael was aware of that little complication, yet he charged me a hundred dollars less than what he had quoted me. This ALONE should speak volumes about this company. If you're a veteran, be sure you tell Michael that up front.
