In the end it is a show so they can charge you above what insurance will cover. Only when you pick up your vehicle are you made aware of charges above insurance. We went to pick up our vehicle after it taking 25 more days than promised and found out we owed 1700.00 plus our 1000.00 deductible. Insurance had already paid 6500.00. Travelers was worn out by their tactics to overcharge and we were also. They will hold your vehicle until you pay cash or cashiers check. Threatening to charge $125.00 per day that they have your vehicle until you pay up. Duress and extortion are the tactics used here. Definitely 0 stars is what they deserve. They do not care if they are sued, as we are pursuing that route now. No wonder they are not members of the Better Business Bureau. Pathetic!

More than a nightmare. A life changing experience. I had an accident around 10/30/21…read more I waited until 8/22 before I took my 2019 Infinity Q60 red line sport to Sterling Auto collision, (SAC), because I loved my car. It was driving fine. Visibly it looked llike rminor damage. Fender, grill, bumper, and deployed airbag. I've never had a nice car, so I was enjoying it while I could. Thought I'd get a pretty car. Maybe my life would change.  It did. 2 initial checks were written by State Farm to start work, 8/22 and 10/22 totaling $16,152.60. Additional amendments to damage kept coming. 1/23 for $4658.50, for headlights. 2 headlights that worked perfectly for 9 months, while I drove my pretty car. They bought brand new headlights. Why? Why that much? IT'S NOT A FERRARI. I doubt Ferrari headlights cost that much, especially if nothing is wrong with them. Slow poking for a year, to 8/23. Another check, written directly to Sterling, for $3962.92. Up another $8621.42. Now they're were at $24,777.62. But wait, there's more, we're not done. NOT EVEN CLOSE. They almost double that #. Bleeding me as I made $1000 a month payments on loan and ins., for almost 1 1/2 years. Trying to destroying my life. Like the family they almost ruined about the same time. They gave SAC an F on BBB. Unfortunately I have no family. My prospects become dimmer day by day. Because of SAC.  Time passed, they dragged on, stalling, not answering calls, no emails or calling me once. My calls went unanswered, or ignored. Once, I reached Joey, the owner. I asked, "where's my car, why has it taken well over a year"? He says, "let me check on that, puts me on hold10 minutes, then hangs up on me. That's how they treated me, LIKE TRASH. They knew all the angles. What they could get away with. Masters of deception, with no consciencee. Thinking there are no consequences for violating others. No mercy, just one goal. The art of the scam. Joey's peons, Mel and others, constantly stalled, lied, schemed. Working their magic. Over 13 months into "their project" I stopped in, to inspect the condition of my car and make sure it would still start, as it baked in full sun, totally diccoloring my dash, but still with that new car smell.. Thankfully it started right up.That high performance engine, on a car I could only dream of. Honestly, I had'nt seen much of anything done on it, except the fender. The bumper hung on the wall, as Mel said, that's it, we're almost finished. "When will it be done?", I said. Mel says,"it only needs 2 MORE WEEKS, we need to get it out  of here". More time passed as State Farm kept paying. Oddly, directly to Sterling, instead of me, that I'd transfer to SAC. The coup de gras de fraud was when SF wrote a final check for...GET THIS, $23,164.01! Then SAC abandoned the car at Infinity of Austin, for the finishing touche. That airbag, an outrageously priced one. I called Infinity to check on the airbag. "Is it installed?", they said, "we know nothing about an airbag. Car was dropped off and SAC said, IT WON'T START". I said, are you telling me you never got $23,000 to put an airbag in?"  There I was, making $1,000 payments for allmost 18 months om a loan & ins. It was obvious I was never going to get my car back. It was taken by Cinch Auto finance, after they were told it was ABANDONED, with only 4k to payoff a loan. SICK! The only nice car I've owned. Driving stinky work trucks for over 40 years. The $23,164.01?  What happened to that? Pocketed by SAC. A little "bonus". The pleasure derived by F****** ME, and getting very well paid for that privaledge. When I called up Sterling and asked "what happened to the $23k? It was Mel or another peon who said, "oh, we spent that $ on parts for the airbag. I said, "then why in the hell did you send it to infinity, after telling me you were not qualified to install airbags?!" Frauds, liars, manipulators, schemers, theives.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the service provided by Sterling Auto…read moreconcerning the repair of my vehicle following hail damage. My experience has been fraught with delays, subpar workmanship, and a lack of effective communication. Timeline and Financial Commitment: * June 2024: I entrusted my vehicle to Sterling Auto for repairs related to hail damage. * August 2024: I remitted the full payment of $11,524.46 ,anticipating a comprehensive and timely restoration. Issues Encountered: * Incomplete Repairs: After nine months, several components, including the windshield, moonroof glass, and various trim, remain either unprepared or not relaced. Some parts under the hood are missing. * Substandard Workmanship: The trunk was improperly reinstalled, and the vehicle emblems were not reattached, reflecting a lack of attention to detail. * Management Instability: The frequent turnover of managers has contributed to inconsistent communication and a lack of accountability. Mel, Demetri and then Abel. Also Joey Hayes the owner was contacted but never responded as well. * Communication Deficiencies: Repeated attempts to obtain updates via emails and phone calls have largely been unreturned, leaving me without clear information regarding the status of the repairs. The vehicle was returned to me upon my request for use in financial needs, after a check was handed to the manager at the time Mel in person for $11,524.46, with a promise to repair the vehicle in a timely manner at a later date in one business day. That was in August of 2024. The repairs are yet to be completed. Communication with the multiple new managers was dragged on with promises of looking into it and looking into parts. We met with Abel in person on Feb 17th. He promised the trim, windshield, moonroof and other parts would be ordered and replaced. Even including reattaching my left mirror which was unrelated to this event. I drove 3 hours there (I have moved since) and then drove 3 hrs back in the middle of the week. On Thursday March 6th at 1:21pm was the last communication from Abel (the manager) stating he was looking into parts. The same excuse given for months and months. At that time I asked for my money back. There was no response so a demand email was sent with a repair quote from another repair shop to Abel (manager), their support as well as Rachael and Joey Hayes email accounts Friday March 7th at 12:14pm. This demand was never responded to. Current Situation: The latest communication from the new manager, Abel, indicates that the shop is currently managing a backlog of 20 vehicles, suggesting systemic inefficiencies that adversely affect customer service. Personal Impact: This protracted ordeal has imposed significant emotional and financial stress on me and my family. As a longstanding patron of Sterling Auto for over a decade, this experience has been particularly disheartening. My commitment to supporting local businesses in our community has been met with an unprecedented level of dissatisfaction. Recommendation: Prospective customers are advised to exercise caution when considering Sterling Auto for vehicle repairs. My experience underscores the importance of thoroughly evaluating a repair shop's current operational effectiveness and customer service responsiveness before entrusting them with substantial repair projects. It is my hope that Sterling Auto addresses these issues promptly to restore the trust and confidence of its clientele.
