The day I dropped the truck off, the service writer Austin called me around 9:30 and told me the truck was done. One of the hose clamps was changed last year so I asked him if they had to change the old rusted clamp and he told me yes. After I picked the truck up and got it home I checked to see what they put on for a clamp and the old one was still on the radiator hose. They didn't change either radiator hose clamp but they charged me for doing it. Today was the first day I was able to get to Regan's before they closed and I talked to Austin about It and he wouldn't do anything about it. He just told me they wouldn't charge me for something they didn't do but the same clamps were on the hoses that were on them when I dropped the truck off. I will never go back there to have any work done on any vehicle that's for sure!!!!!! Jamie Hutchins

I…read morehave never met or worked with any automobile salesman who was so honest, up front and professional in all my years of buying vehicles. There was no heavy or pushy sales pitches to get me to purchase and they even put the vehicle up on a ramp for me to inspect the underneath. When I picked the vehicle up the next day Mike explained every little detail on the paperwork before signing. He spent at least an hour with my wife and I showing us every feature and how it works on the vehicle. It was a pleasure to deal with him and I highly recommend doing business with them. Regans should be proud that they have an employee such as Mike. Bill Schneider

In May 2016, a careless lane change from another driver resulted in a dent about 6" wide on the…read morerear quarter panel of my 2015 Scion FR-S. The point of impact also occurred on the bodyline, which likely added more labour costs to the damage. An insurance bailout was no longer a viable option, as my insurer notified me that the accident was deemed to be a 50/50 fault (much to my dismay). The only offering from them was waiving 50% of my deductible. However, if I proceeded my premium would have alarmingly increased 340$. Without a witness and police report, I should have expected this outcome from my insurance company (lesson learned). I already obtained an estimate from the accredited Tony Graham Collision Centre (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/tony-graham-collision-centre-ottawa), which was north of 2000$. I tried another Insurance-designated shop, Fix Auto on Bentley Ave (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/fix-auto-nepean-nepean). Their estimate nearly matched Tony Graham at about 1900$. Subsequently, I decided it would be more cost effective to foot the bill sans-Insurance. I am quite certain that I sufficiently prospected all of the highly-ranked/starred auto body shops in Ottawa according to Google and Yelp. After I mapped out these shops, I drove to each and obtained estimates. It was not an easy or glaring choice, as a number of shops presented competitive estimates and friendly service. The repair time was virtually identical at all shops (3 days). JR Body Shop on Jamie Ave (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/j-r-body-shop-nepean) was my first consideration, as I serviced my first owned car here (1986 Toyota Corolla) with them between 2003-2006. Their estimate was about 1200$. I received a similar estimate (1000-1200$) around the block from JR at MK Auto Body (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/mk-auto-body-ottawa-2) on Bentley Ave. I then checked out a shop in the Billings Bridge area - Art's Auto Repair (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/arts-auto-repair-ottawa) on Kaladar Ave. Their estimate (800$) and service was exceptional. I believe my repair window was only 1 day here too. So I short-listed Art's to the top of my list so far. My next planned route was the Glebe as there were a cluster of shops in that neighbourhood. I received my lowest estimate at Adriatica (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/adriatica-paint-and-body-shop-ottawa) on Beech St for 600$ - however the paint would not be blended. I thought blending was an implied SOP when painting cars, so I did not want to risk a colour mismatch with the other adjacent panels. Next, Aleks on Gladstone Ave estimated 805$ (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/aleks-auto-body-works-ottawa-3). Milano Auto Body & Paint (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/milano-auto-body-ottawa) on Aberdeen St became another leading consideration due to their great professional service. Their estimate was 836$. This was the first shop where I felt I received a comprehensive estimate, due to the fact that I left with a breakdown of all the labour, parts and costs (similar to what I received from my Insurance company). However, their next appointment was not until the following month. So I favoured Scotty's (https://www.yelp.ca/biz/scottys-auto-body-ottawa). Although my preliminary estimate was 1000$, my appraiser dropped it to 800$ after discussing the blending/repainting with his team again. My legwork with competitive estimates at other shops could have likely been a factor as well :)  Similar to Milano's, I received a document from Scotty's using the same Audatex estimating platform. So I had 4 estimates in the 800$ arena. A conclusive factor for Scotty's was that they also repaired some minor front-end damage at NO EXTRA CHARGE (there was basically some scrapes and small dents on the bottom of my bumper). Finally, my car was actually ready in 2 days, in contrast to their expectant 3 days. The finished repairs were exceptional (before and after pictures posted with my review might not be vivid enough). There were no signs a dent even existed, bumper unscuffed, and more importantly seamless paint blending. From various vantage points, I did not notice any different shades of red between the repaired rear panel and the undamaged door panel.
