    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.

    Body damage before the fix
    Renee G.

    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 had a great experience with Bratch Auto Body & Repair after dealing with issues from a previous…read morerepair done that did not hold up due to paint adhesion issues. 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. Overall, the experience felt Honest, Efficient, and Professional. I would definitely return and recommend them to others.

    I had an excellent experience during my recent visit to Bratch Auto Body, and I can't recommend…read morethem highly enough. 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!

    I've brought my truck to this shop twice now--and not because I love spending money on repairs, but…read morebecause they actually know what they're doing and treat people right. First time, my clutch gave out right in front of their shop. I'm talking perfect timing--coasted right into their lot like the truck knew where it needed to be. I already knew it was the clutch, so I didn't need a big diagnostic song and dance. The mechanic came out, confirmed it, no upsell nonsense. They got it done in a day and even sent me pictures during the repair like a proud parent updating me on my truck's progress. Second time, same truck--this thing's dramatic. I lost all power out of nowhere. I thought, "No big deal, probably a simple fix. I've Googled stuff before." Then I pulled off the timing cover and found the timing belt snapped clean off. Not great. I shopped around and got quoted some wild prices--like, "just buy a new truck" level ridiculous. A couple places didn't even bother telling me what was wrong, just that I needed a whole new engine. No thanks. So I went back to this shop. Sam asked a few smart questions, figured out what kind of engine I had, and educated me on how it could actually be repaired--not replaced. He even helped me get it towed over for next to nothing (less than 5 miles). Total lifesaver. They've been transparent the whole time. I even swung by mid-repair like a nosy neighbor and got to see the progress. It really seems like once they've got the parts, they're fast and efficient--like one-day turnaround kind of fast. When I paid, I actually felt like I got my money's worth. Real mechanics, real people, no BS. Definitely earned my trust.
