Like Paul above, I was charged about $55 for the work, which I do not find unreasonable. However, they did not plug the tire, rather they disassembled it, found the leak, put a patch on the inside of the tire, reassembled and balanced the tire, and put in the proper air pressure. Viking is a nice facility with a clean shop, and I will take my vehicle to them again.

I had just gotten my brand new, sparkly black 2024 Chevy Trax 2RS, and now the rear passenger door wouldn't even open. My stomach was in knots--it felt like someone had smashed my soul along with my car. Enter Ken: Collision Magician, Bodywork Wizard, and possibly part car whisperer. Not only did he take on the job with calm, capable hands, but he also sent updates with pictures throughout the process--like a proud parent sharing progress pics from car rehab. And let me tell you, by the time he was done, my car looked showroom perfect again. I don't know how he did it--some combination of wizardry, sorcery, and sheer attention to detail--but the result was stunning. I may have teared up a little. Don't judge me. But here's where it gets real: before the repair, I had taken a 10-hour road trip with my 200lb Neapolitan Mastiff and a new kitten. You can already see where this is going. The kitten came with a litter box. The dog came with chaos. The litter box got flipped. Multiple times. Somehow, someway, litter rained down into car crevices I didn't even know existed. It was like a glitter bomb... but with cat litter. And still, when I got my car back, it was immaculate. Not a crumb of litter. Not a trace of mayhem. It looked (and smelled) like it had never seen a dog, a cat, or a Christmas catastrophe. Ken doesn't just fix cars--he resurrects them. If you're looking for someone meticulous, trustworthy, and who treats your vehicle like it's his own baby, go to KL Auto Collision. Just maybe don't let your pets party in it beforehand.

Really disappointed…read more To preface, John Bird of Latchkey had done some awesome work on a previous Audi and VW Passat and Corrado that I owned, about 12 years ago. I Moved out of the area about a decade ago, but my family still resides in the Lakes Region area. During a recent trip to NH to see family, my car had it's catalytic converter plug up. I initially purchased the parts to do an exhaust job (complete... headers to tailpipe, on a 1988 Crown Victoria), but decided the work was more than I could do without a welder and mandrel bender at my family's home. I contacted Mr. Bird, and he agreed to do the work. Work proposed was to bolt on a set of headers, an "H pipe", and weld mufflers on, and custom bend tailpipes to go over the rear axle and out the sides. I unfortunately did not ask for an estimate or timeframe for such a job, as Crown Victorias are easy to work on, and research showed this was a 4-6 hour job, and if parts were brought to the mechanic, $400-600 in labor. The job actually took 3 days. I was also charged over $880 to install an exhaust on a Ford. As an example, over $100 of the job was to install a foot of heater hose from an air tube to the engine, and tighten two hose clamps. The bad part is... This is a car that uses the old R12 refrigerant for air conditioning. I had, one month prior, spent many hundreds of dollars getting the system leak tested and recharged with the proper, and very expensive R12... As opposed to converting to R134a which is less efficient. The car had a recently inspected and perfectly working A/C system the day I brought it to him (it was used to defog the windshield en route for delivery). When I received the car back, the A/C did not work at all. Due to the design of the engine, it is impossible to install the headers without discharging (and reclaiming the very expensive refrigerant). Either Mr. Bird stole the R12 via reclamation, or just vented it to atmosphere (which is a HUGE EPA violation, as it's a CFC refrigerant). I now have a car that I'll have to spend upwards of $800 to retrofit to CFC-free refrigerant, when it was working flawlessly when the car was delivered to him. There is a large chip in the paint in the leading edge of the hood. The chip extends down the vertical lip on the passenger side, so it would be impossible that it'd be from debris, as it is obscured from view when the hood is closed. This car received a complete paint job in October 2012, and this is now the only blemish. A hard line (similar to a brake line) was snapped off the driver's side frame rail, just behind the header. It is an older car, and I understand things break, but he snapped it off and just left it without telling me. And to top everything else off... The exhaust installed is now rattling against the underside of the car. I contacted Mr. Bird, the shop owner, for an amicable resolution, and was immediately countered with "you ***holes and your older cars are always trying to get something out of me", as well as numerous other expletives and no chance of any type of help. I'm no idiot to cars work, and cost of repair. In this case an afternoon, $4-600 job turned into a 3 day $900 job, and he broke over $1000 worth of stuff in the process. Don't walk...
