    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

    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

    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!

Even my insurance company warned me that tow companies were extremely busy and it could be a long wait. David at Hubie's Towing completely exceeded my expectations. He called me to introduce himself, confirmed the vehicle's location, kept me updated throughout the process, and had my car picked up within a few hours. He worked quickly, efficiently, and got the job done without any delays. Once he recovered the vehicle, he thoroughly documented its condition with detailed photos and sent everything to my insurance representative. What stood out the most was how kind and reassuring he was during such a stressful situation. He took the time to let me know everything was going to be okay and that my day would get better. That level of compassion meant a lot while dealing with the aftermath of having my car stolen. I've only had two other experiences with towing. I can honestly say this was by far the best experience. David was professional, hardworking, thorough, communicative, and genuinely cared about providing excellent service. If you ever need a tow, I highly recommend Hubie's Towing. If you're lucky enough to have David as your driver, you'll be in great hands.
