I was rear ended and needed a new back door and bumper. First person that helped me seemed good but then after weeks of no update as to when I could bring my car in, I email and find out that the person I worked with had quit and they could not find the check that I had handed to them from the insurance co. The first person I met there did a visual assessment and took pics that she then sent to the person who hit me's insurance company. After that I received a check that I brought into Mankato Motors and handed to them in person. Then I heard nothing for a month. I finally called in only to find out that person in the body shop was no longer there, that they had none of my information and could not find the check I had given them from the insurance company! I had to send all my email communications with the 1st body shop person to the new body shop person. Then I had to also resend all the the pictures that Mankato body shop took to the insurance company. Thank goodness I had them emailed to me and I had saved everything. Mankato motors then was able to communicate with the insurance company with that information and found out that the check was not checked so they put a stop on it. Then they had to reissue a check to the body shop. I finally brought my car in and it was repaired and I picked it up. When I picked it up there were many issues that I found unacceptable. Along with black primer paint sprayed all along the sides of my vehicle, (very visual and felt like sandpaper) there were scratch marks on the back door, a small dent on the "new" back door, and some damage to my driver side entry track paint, along with the interior windows being all filthy. I went back inside and told them. They set up a time the next day for me to come in and meet with the "shop foreman". I came in after work the next day (I do not live in Mankato, so an out of my way drive) and that is when the body shop person went on her computer, laughed out loud and said "oh I forgot the shop foreman left early today for a dentist appointment". I was not happy! Not only at her thinking that was funny, but also that I do not live in Mankato so drove there for nothing. This is when I met another new person in the body shop who agreed to review my car, and agreed with all my assessments. We both thought possible that the new door had been primed on the vehicle! In order for me to be able to leave my car for repairs to what they had now done, I needed a loaner so I had to wait for him to call me and let me know to bring my car back in for it to be fixed, that took another week. I brought my car in and it was repaired within a day. When I picked up the vehicle the paint was now looking beautiful as it was when I dropped it off. Apparently they had to do a good buffing on it to get that black stuff off. However, when I got home, I emailed them and told them that I believed that their shop staff needed to be way more detail oriented before handing off to a customer! Doing the final pickup, my inside new back window was still filthy, my back wiper now makes noise when it never did on the old door. There was a muddy boot print on the inside track of one of my side/back doors, and there is even more damage (scratch marks) to the initial spots I found the first time on my driver door inside track, two of the caps for my tire air spouts were missing, and as I drove away I got a warning that my back door was open! I emailed all this to the body shop mgr. when I got home. He never replied to me, but instead had the woman that I complained about email me back! Claimed he was "tied up with multiple sick employees". She apologized and did offer to make the "experience" better for me. At this point I have been there 3 times and never intend to return, too afraid more damage would be inflicted on my vehicle! She had also said " I think I explained that most of our department is very new so they definately have things to learn, but definatly not making excuses, we are working very hard to get our department back in shape after the unfortunate events that transpired." Sounds like total excuses to me, and she is one of the "new" employees. I mean at least learn how to use auto correct if you are going to be put in charge of replying to customers! Found the entire experience totally unacceptable, with bad communication, and absolutely no attention to detail at all. Do not recommend! read more
