    Clear overspray in an area on the *opposite* side of the car they worked on.
    Gavin C.

    The people at Murray's seem like genuinely good people that try very hard to do the right thing and go out of their way from a customer service perspective. Unfortunately, that's all that it seems they're good at. The other reviews here that detail the poor quality of their work are spot on consistent with my experience. I brought my car in for some body work and when I went to pick it up, I immediately noticed scuffing throughout the repaired area and a good number of paint nibs / bumps throughout the paint. I brought this up to them, and they were quick to offer to address the issues. When I brought my car back in, they were able to address the scuffing, but the paint nibs largely remained. I'm not all that picky, so I just accepted it as normal and took the car with me. I then took my car to my detailer to have a protective ceramic coating reapplied to the repainted panels and they said that the body work done by Murray's was some of the worst they'd ever seen. As such they wouldn't be able to reapply the coating without significant rework. More specifically, the entirety of my ceramic coating (not just on the panels that were repainted) was compromised. There was overspray throughout the entire car, the paint nibs I mentioned earlier, over polishing, and more, suggesting very sloppy work involving a lot of shortcuts, not keeping work areas clear of debris, not properly (or at all) masking off parts of the car that weren't being painted, etc. When I brought this up to them, again, because of their great customer service, they owned up to the problem and worked to address it. However, things only got worse from here. Rather than cover my costs, they wanted to handle the reapplication of the ceramic coating, which I was fine with after very clearly specifying that the coating was Ceramic Pro Gold with a lifetime warranty. After numerous back and forth calls with them, they explicitly confirmed that it would be the Ceramic Pro Gold package being applied. Unfortunately, when the work was completed, I went back to pick up my car only to find that a much cheaper ceramic coating with a much more limited warranty was applied instead. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they didn't intentionally lie to me but rather just ended up being very confused / uninformed and trying to take shortcuts to save a buck (sense a theme yet?). Ultimately, however, it doesn't really matter - they messed up my car yet again. And this time, they refused to acknowledge their mistake and I'm left with my car the way that it is, which is far from pre-accident condition. All this is to say, if you have a choice (which you may not given the limited number of body shops that service Tesla), I'd strongly urge you to go elsewhere. Their approach is clearly to take shortcuts and save money wherever they possibly can. It's possible that this works out fine in most cases and / or people just don't notice the shoddy work. But it didn't work out in mine and if you read some of the other more thoughtful critical reviews here, you'll see that it didn't work out in theirs as well. Proceed at your own risk.

    Scratched on window
    Lark D.

    I will say that you will receive great customer service if you are in person and the quality of work is good; however, the attention to detail and the communication between the desk, the owner & technician's are lacking. I brought my Tesla in for repair after someone opened there door while I was driving by. Initial inspection was done by the insurance company, myself and the front desk technician. We noted the window had scratches and was part of the repairs along with scratches & a dent. After having my car a month, they did not repair the window. They sent me an email saying it didn't need it. When I arrived to pick it up the scratches were still there. I met with Lisa the owner and told her in detail 3 times about my communications with her employee by name and about the pictures. She asked me to not write a review & she would take care of it. A week later I started getting phone calls from the shop saying I needed to submit photos before they would order the window and that they were waiting on me! I relayed my story along with the emails w/pics from the technician. I called Lisa and left messages. She finally called me back and pretended I didn't mention the pics and emails with the technician. She clearly wasn't listening and could only talk about herself. A few weeks later I brought my car back in. I was specific on the tint, I wanted to maintain the 20%. I was told half a day for the repair and I would be contacted. Later in the afternoon I hadn't heard from anyone, so I called. It was 4:20 in the afternoon. I was told my car would be ready by 5 and they closed at 5. I live 40 minutes away and I would be stuck in traffic. Their solution was to lock my key in the frunk. I was not okay with this and came in the next morning. My tint was wrong! It was 35% and after waiting a while, I was finally able to talk to the tech. He was great, but was never told to keep it at 20%. He told me Lisa would give me a call and that was over a day ago. I still haven't heard from her. Don't bring your car here unless you only require basic repairs. They take forever and clearly don't pay attention to detail and don't communicate to you about your car. I could go on, but this is more than enough to warrant not using their services.

    As one of the few recommended Tesla body shops Murray's is off to a good start with clear expectations and possible timelines. One of the owners made me coffee because my cup was spilled that morning in the car accident. This company has the professionalism of a large company but the compassion of a Mom and Pop shop. I will be sure to follow up after my experience is complete.

    Let me start with this is the first time I have felt it to be necessary to leave a BBB review. My truck, unfortunately, wound up in the body shop for the second time in 6 months after 15 years of no wrecks. The initial wreck cost over $20k and was strictly body damage from a windstorm. The entire body was delivered like it was driven with zero miles off the lot. Keep in mind this was from the previous shop...... So, let us get to the second shop. I got into an accident that required me once again to get ahold of a body shop that required more internal repairs. Initially, the girl at the front desk that I spoke with was so so so so very helpful and made me feel better with just her attitude about just wrecking my truck. She handled calling the tow company to come and pick up the truck from my property and have it hauled to Murrays Car Star Collision Center. She was nice enough to follow through even after her work hours to make sure the driver knew where to drop the truck and keys after hours on a Friday. Perfect customer service skills and follow through! Here is where the issue comes in! It had been a week and a half after it had been taken from my house, so I called to check on the progress. "Lisa Murray" the owner I believe says to me, "that my truck by no means should have been dropped off on a Friday, let alone after hours and that they had no way of securing it". I then informed her in a manner that was annoyed but professional that, well hey, I want my stuff secured as well, but that is an internal staffing information issue that is not my problem. I was then told that "nothing has been done on your truck and that we are 2 weeks out from even starting on it". A week and a half into a vehicle being taken, that should have been stated sooner. When I replied, "if I would have known that I would have taken it somewhere else who would expedite the schedule", the response I received was along the lines of "go ahead and try but you're out of luck" (that is not verbatim, but close). So, one month and a week later, I called last Friday to see if I can come in and check on the quality of the paintwork as I just had a $22K body and paint job done 2 months prior. I was told, "Yes! stop by Monday it is out of paint today and it will give it time to cure over the weekend and then we can take a look Monday." Monday, today I and my GF show up at the body shop to find the hood of my truck sitting on a stand in the parking lot covered in pollen and who knows what else, obviously after paint. Ok, business is good, love to hear that, and maybe it has been cured already. So, I ask the first gentlemen who approached me if we could go ahead and check out the rest of the truck as there was internal front-end damage. The extent of the repair was isolated to the front passenger corner, but residual damage occurred that required paint blending. I have plenty of experience in the industry and I have to say this was some of the shottiest work I have seen try to be sold. There were literal raindrop-sized drips in the paint. Spots that look like sand in the paint, literal fracture cracks in the Hood. The response I got from the Shop Manager was, "go to any new car dealership and you will find 15+ imperfections in each panel like the ones you're showing me." Now here is where it gets to bad business!!!!! I was asked to come and "Point out issues", when the manager did not like what I had to say about me taking delivery of the truck in this less than pre-loss condition (keep in mind the scope if their work is from the back of the front doors on a 2013 Silverado crew cab) he has the nerve to take the conversation the complete opposite 50% of the truck that has nothing to do with him, that in fact looks top-notch covered in the dust compared to the outside paint booth work being done at this place. When they were no longer willing to let me point out issues and they wanted to argue and not listen, I went to pull my phone out of my pocket and the owner reacted as though I was pulling a weapon. That is when I decided I am no longer willing to deal at all on a personal level with this company and have acquired legal counsel.

    Body damage before the fix

    My daughter and I got rear ended in my 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan GT! I went into Murray's for an estimate for the insurance company and set up an appointment to get my van fixed! Murray's fixed up the back of my van good as new and they even seemed to detail it on the inside because when we got the van back, the whole thing was vacuumed out and it was dusted! I would get in a car wreck any day just for that service alone! Lol ok just kidding but it truly was an added bonus when I picked up my car and it was washed on the outside and vacuumed on the inside! Murray's also sent me text messages almost daily about what was going on with my van because it was delayed a day or two because of snowmageddon and wrong parts being sent from a parts store! I am very pleased and I will continue to bring my car back to Murray's! The staff are friendly and treat you like a person and not just a customer!! Keep up the good work everyone, it really shoed. Update 12/20/19 almost a year later from this accident and my van was back at Murry's for a warranty issue. I took my van in to them and showed them spaces that have appeared between parts that they fixed earlier this year and they said no problem, make an appointment and we will fix it free because it's under warranty! AGAIN, they did an excellent job and they worked with us to let my daughter pick it up and bring it home because it was done on new years eve and they were closing early! Thank you Lisa and gang!

    I really enjoyed the screwdriver marks after the "PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION"  Never Going back to this place!!!

    Saw great reviews online and insurance company suggested and decided go with them for repair of my broken window and damaged frame and mounding. Wish I hadn't !!!!! I should have known something when I visited them and they stuck the clear film to cover my broken window and it looked like somone just threw it on there without care(it was loose and mangled up ). I had to ask for another sheet of film to put it on the door so that film won't flap around like a sail while driving. Even the adjuster who came out was embarrassed. I asked them to call me to verify all my parts were in the day before my scheduled appointment to make sure my parts have arrived so I don't waist a day. No call and I had to call them to find out. I was informed the job was going to take the entire day so I took a day off from work and arrange for rides to be picked up and returned back. I didn't hear anything all day and I checked back towards the end of day to see the progress only to find out that it wasn't ready. To top it instead of apologizing one of the girls tried to argue with me that it was another vendor doing some of the work and that they don't guarantee completion times .... least they could have done is call me to to update me. It even gets better. So now I am with out a car for another day. Next day when I go to pick it up I look at the door and the inside trim piece is missing ... I mean this piece is large enough that I can stick my hand down inside the door. Then they get the young kit to slap it back in and I head of to home. Next day up in closer inspection of the window trim they replaced , there are major scrapes as if a backyard mechanic went at it with his screwdriver to pry of the molding. Of course I tried to email them about the door damage received no response. Completely disappointed Will NEVER GO BACK!!!

From the beginning, they were straightforward and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain what likely went wrong with the prior paint job and answered my questions clearly without trying to upsell anything. I received quotes from multiple shops, and Bratch came in at around $1,000, which was the most reasonable option. More importantly, the quality of the work and the turnaround time were both excellent. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail--they didn't just fix the bumper, but also vacuumed and cleaned the interior and exterior of my car, which I did not expect.

My 2010 Prius was badly damaged when a tire from another car flew into my vehicle while I was driving on local highway 169. This happened on a Saturday morning just five days before Thanksgiving, and based on the damage, I honestly thought I'd be without a car for the entire holiday. Desperately, I reached out to Paul, my trusted store manager at Firestone Covington, and he suggested I contact Bratch Auto Body in Kent. It was already around 10 AM, and Google Maps showed they were closed on Saturdays. I called anyway, expecting to leave a message - but someone answered and told me to bring the car in right away. From that moment on, everything was outstanding. The store manager inspected my car, gave me a clear estimate, and an expected completion date. I was shocked (in the best way) when he said it would be ready by Tuesday. The price was also very reasonable, much lower than I had expected. Since I needed a rental car, I planned to walk to Avis in the rain, about 20 minutes away. But the young lady at the front desk stopped me and said she would ask her boss to help. A minute later, the store manager personally drove me to the rental location. The kindness truly meant a lot to me, especially because of the unusual events I had to go through that day. On Tuesday at 2 PM, I picked up my car, fully repaired. The manager carefully walked me through what was found and fixed, showing photos from each stage of the repair. The work was done professionally and thoroughly. They even washed, waxed, and detailed the interior. My 15-year-old car came back looking almost brand new. Today is Thanksgiving, and thanks to Bratch Auto, my car is back safely in my garage. They are not only professional and affordable - they genuinely care about their customers and understand the stress they are under. This wasn't just the manager- everyone there treated me with warmth, kindness, and care. I am truly grateful. This is a level of service that worth paying with satisfaction. Thank you!
