Honestly if I could say anything about this place I would say "(0 stars) I wouldn't go to this place if it was the only place to take your car!" Let me tell you about the worst experience of my life when it comes to an auto body shop! I always take my cars to a friend of my husband and myself, but when my car was crashed into I was told by the other person's insurance company (American Family *which is another horrible story for another review) to take it to Offutt. The appraiser at Offutt said I had to wait 2 weeks to take it in. (I should have known then and there that I should have gone somewhere else), but since the insurance said to take it there, I waited the two weeks. *from the accident, my driver side quarter panel was smashed in, the back door was smashed in, & my car was hit so hard it was pushed onto the curb, causing it to make a horrible loud sound (coming from the passenger back wheel)* Everything seemed fine. They said it would take 1 week. Fine whatever. I got updated throughout the whole process, which was nice, but when I got my car back. I have never been so mad in my life! The same adjuster [jason] who looked at my car when i brought it in was a complete jerk who had the nerve to lie to my face! First thing we noticed was the color didn't match. it was too green. (My car color is super hard to blend, & there's only 2 businesses that are capable of blending the color right ford and jody's) 2nd the door still had a huge gap. 3rd they broke the driver side reflector. The first thing we told the adjuster is that they broke the reflector. He had the nerve to say, "you can't prove we did that." I pulled out my phone and showed him the pictures of the car (after the accident), before I brought it in. Luckily I had a picture of the reflector on it, & it wasn't broken when I brought it in. The adjuster said, "well you can't tell in that picture if it's broken, but since I'm a nice guy I'll replace it for free." I was completely appalled! I stayed calm though, then we said we need to take it for a drive to see if that sound went away. So we take it for a drive, & it was still making the loud horrible sound! At that point we knew not only did they not do a good job, but they didn't fix all of the damage caused by the accident! We took it back and the adjuster came out again, & we told him it's still making the sound. One of the repair guys took it for a drive and said "wow, that's a horrible, loud sound." Then the adjuster drove it and came back and said. "That's a quiet sound, you can't even tell." My husband and I were at this point beyond angry and I lost my cool. I started voice recording the adjuster. He said "that's not the same noise as before." My husband and I both were so mad and we told him, "it's the same noise!" Then the adjuster said, "the car was hit on the driver side. The sound is coming from the passenger side wheel bearing. you can't prove that sound is from the accident." I was beyond livid. I tried to get a hold of American family and they said, "well the adjuster said its not from the accident so we won't cover for them to fix it, unless you can prove its from the accident." So I had to drive my car home and American family then sent their own adjuster out to my house a few days later. The American family adjuster was really nice and took pictures of the accident spot and said that wheel bearing break was from the accident, because the curb clearly has a big white scuff mark (even a month after the accident) from where my car was pushed up on the curb. So he told me I have to take it back to Offutt to fix it. I then took it to my friend who gave me a list of things that Offutt didn't fix right, & I brought it back to Offutt to fix it. The manager said he will get it all fixed the same day. So I called back later that day, & was told it wasn't fixed yet. I had to call everyday that week, because I didn't get updates on what they were doing with my car, & they kept saying "tomorrow". So four days later they finally finished it. Everything was finally fixed (including the reflector & wheel bearing), but the color is even worse than the first time they painted it. The door wasn't fixed right again, but it was better than the first time. I would have to bring it back a 3rd time but I decided screw it, I've already been without my car for a month that I don't want to fight them. I just know that if I ever have to get my car fixed again that I will never take it to Offutt, & I'll never recommend Offutt and I will tell everyone who asks for information on repair companies, to not go to Offutt.
*overall review:
