My husband and I just happened to have our vehicles here at the same time. My car I just got back after 2 months. Apparently they left a tool inside my car somewhere, I mean inside the shell of the car to where it rolls around and bangs on my car when I stop or make a turn...kind of like a surgeon leaving a sponge inside and sewing the person up, except the sponge is a tool and it bangs around. The second thing, my drivers side door handle was replaced, bit they didnt bother replacing the pads that go between the door and handle so its very loose and the seal is not tight. When I'm on I-95, there's a very loud whistle. It goes well with the banging of the tool. My drivers side window is completely scratched up from the inside. Lastly, my suspension squeaks. Never squeaked before, it even squeaks when I get out....I weigh 150. So..... bang, whistle, squeak. Before I dropped my car off it was running perfect, looked like crap, but nothing wrong internally. Now it looks great, but with all kinds of weird "sound" problems.
My husband's truck took over a month to fix. He had custom emblems...now they are stock. They threw out the custom ones. They replaced the whole front end and put back the old fog lights that didn't work after the accident. One of his headlight covers which was fine before the accident and aftermarket smoke colored, was replaced for no reason with a regular cover so the headlights no longer match.
Don't even get me started on Geico insurance that is in their front office. I'm scared to bring it back because it will probably take them forever to fix these problems. I have no choice in the matter. If you have the choice, keep looking for another shop!!!
I can say the shop gm is very nice, and I did not have a problem with the office staff. I just think they have too much work coming in from the fact that everyone gets sent there by Geico and their work is in effect sloppy and rushed.
Update- The tool was in my sunroof, an 18" socket that has no use in my car. So that means someone used my car as a counter top with the sunroof open. The squeaking noise is from my front fender that is an aftermarket plastic part. The opposite fender, that is original, is made of metal. Insurance claims are supposed to be replaced with actual parts, not aftermarket parts. The garage pockets the money saved by giving the customer shotty parts. Btw, I did NOT bring my car back to them. read more
