I absolutely love cars, and I love my Miata. In early January of 2015, it was in a front end collision. The headlights were broken, the hood and hood hinges were destroyed, and the bumper/structures underneath were damaged. I'd heard of Steve's shop and decided to take my vehicle there for the repairs. He wrote up a list of parts and a quote along with an estimated duration and I accepted excitedly. As the weeks went on, I would occasionally go to see the progress and bring doughnuts for the guys- I was incredibly excited for the result. When they finally "finished" (weeks after the estimated time period), I went to see the car. The paint match was spot on, however, the hood was very elevated by the windshield and was COMPLETELY out of line with the fenders; the hood also bounced and rattled at idle. I have to SLAM it two or three times just to get it to latch- Steve even had to slam it and then press it down just to get it closed- right in front of me! I brought this up with the Steve who offered to replace the hinges. So, after sourcing the parts, I brought my car and hinges in for the final repair. An hour later, I get a call with him saying he can just put "free work" (which is work that should have been done in the first place) into my car. So what did they do? They shimmed up the fenders to be as equally screwed up as the hood. This bouncing along with the massive panel gap is enough to drive me absolutely crazy- I also learned they didn't plug in my horn or recharge my air conditioning system after disassembly. I DEEPLY regret having them touch my car and will have another shop correct their errors. I cannot believe he would give a vehicle back to a customer in that condition. They also charged a large amount for this work. If you simply need a part painted, take it here. If you need ANY other bodywork done, do not take your vehicle here. I was taken for a ride by this shop. read more
