I was dreading having to take my car into a body repair shop, and Lou's was the second place I…read morevisited to get a repair quote. Jerry, who assessed the damage on my car did a throurough job, and explained everything that could possibly need to be fixed, as well as things I didn't know about my car. He took his time, and even took pictures of the damage to my vehicle, all of which the first place I went to, did not do. He was polite and friendly, as was the other staff, and he had my quote to me hours later. Although it was higher then the other place, I feel it was a more accurate accessment. I dropped my car off, and the whole process was completely painless. Every one I dealt with was friendly and answered all of my questions. I didn't get the impression that this establishment is shady at all (again like th eother place) but a honestly run business, and would definitely come back to Lou's if I needed any work done again - at the same time, I hope it's not needed!

My…read moreinsurance appraiser suggested MB Autoworks because they are a certified Mercedes repair facility and why not go to the people who know the brand best. I'm glad that I took his advice. I was a little nervous because past experiences with body repair work were less than satisfactory (another body shop on a previous job subbed the paint-less dent removal to a 3rd party, who subsequently broke my inside hatch handle while the car was in their care - and they didn't take responsibility for it). This experience was flawless. They were friendly and professional. My appraiser said the shop boss is one of the best in the business. They kept me up to date on their progress. They had my car for 8 days and when they called to come and pick it up, it looked fantastic. I noticed other paint issues the car previously had were gone as well. They went above and beyond the call. Well done MB Autoworks.

After being stone walled by reception, shop employees and, amazingly, the Manager in a vain attempt to get some information on the status of completion we gave up and paid out of pocket for the part from another shop.

While we have little experience in running an autobody shop, we think it's safe to say that this is not an ideal business model. Kristi J

OK, so I got a bit of a bumper scrape on my car, looks like someone backed out a little close, and scraped the paint. Just a little too deep to "buff" out. When I took it to Renu, the fellow I talked to gave me an honest quote, and his honest opinion. Being that we could fix it, but the bumper is plastic, so it wont rust, and given that my car has hail damage, fixing the paint on the bumper won't add much value, so it's just a matter of what I can live with cosmetically... Honest, and fair advice! Incidentally, I got a scratch repair kit and wax, and it is 70% better, so I suppose I won't bother fixing it, but I am super glad for their honest advice! It would have been easy enough to just take my money, but they chose to be good business citizens, and for that I am grateful! FYI, I did get a repair quote that was 10%, and 25% lower than the other two quotes I got, and the service was much friendlier, so I know where I'm headed if I decide to fix this anyway- or if any other scrapes pop up.

This repair job happened in the NW shop of Simplicity Car Care. My 2006 Honda CRV-SE had a…read morecollision last August 23. The repair required replacement of the following, passenger front fender, black textured bumper cover, fog lights, passenger side headlight and the aircon condenser needs replacement. The frame of the passenger headlight needs alignment as well as the passenger fender bracket. The repair was started Sept 15 and I picked up the car Sept 23. I paid $ 1,068 for the labor and materials but I supplied the original condenser, passenger Fender, fog lights and DOT stamped textured black bumper cover. Upon inspection at home I found the following defects: the repaired frame was not fully painted and showed chipped-off paint, The bumper support was not painted, there was a missing 10mm bolt on the fender that why it was rattling, the 2 fog light holes that were badly cut that the bumper cover was damaged, The spot welding that was supposed to be done on the headlight frame was neglected. The owner and staff of the NW branch refused to repair the vehicle according to the owner's manual specification and said that I should supply original parts. I supplied parts that are considered original as per T and T Honda based on the DOT stamp of approval. The bumper cover was also misaligned on the passenger side because the headlight frame was off. I asked for a 2nd repair job last Nov 23 and was granted to bring the car back but they will not replace the damaged black textured bumper but repair and paint all the deep scratches at my cost which is dumb and absurd and inconsiderate. I mentioned to Sarah that I will bring this up to the small claims court but declined to do it since the cost is not too high and just wanted to get back or refund $402 for the unfinished job on the CRV. Sarah and their management never contacted me again. Maybe they think it was over. I used the help of my son to finally fix the unfinished job and bought spray paint cans to finish the job and seal off the cracked paint on the bumper guard and frames. This review is looking pretty epic and it's nice and awesome for customers to know the bad experiences of past customers so that new customers will know what to look out for and evaluate the shop for expertise. We customers pay good money that we have worked for and we just want equal service for the best repair job possible. I was told by Sarah that they will refer this case to the lawyers and owner and find a solution but they never made contact since Dec 23. This is a bad shop and should be avoided if possible. When I picked up my car last Sept 23 I came across a customer who was also dissatisfied with the repair on his Hyundai car and told me that he will never go back to the shop and will look elsewhere. I will not likely recommend this shop to my friends and relatives or to anyone who wants a quality repair. The mechanic is a pain to explain things on what to do because he does not do a good job. I will negotiate to get back $402 for the repair that was not done since I spent time and materials to repair the CRV in my garage. Now all are aligned, painted and running smoothly without any rattling sound and vibration. The mechanic said that it was the slightly dented radiator that was rattling. If fact it was the fender with a missing bolt. I will also report this incident to The Personal Insurance Company for a poor job done on my CRV. This is an Epic Review. Finally the black bumper cover and headlight are aligned and all cracked paint are sealed. Again the replacement parts installed were certified by Honda dealership for an old model where original parts are hard to find. I brought my own parts as negotiated with simplicity and they agreed without any hesitance to install them and later they complained that they cannot align the bumper and headlight. But because I was the first owner of the 2006 CRV, I was able to align the fender, bumper and headlight properly. I have deep regrets after bringing the vehicle to their NW shop and wasted my hard earned money. Henry the shop owner insulted me by asking if this old 2006 Honda CRV is worth restoring. As a customer this will make you feel belittled.

I wanted to get my car inspected for my insurance and it took them 3 weeks to get it done as they were always messing things up. I spoke to Arnel and told me the crack in my windshield will be fine but when I went there they told me to get it fixed. After I fixed my windshield they told me to come back by Saturday at 9am to do the inspection but the mechanic wasn't there. For the third time that I went back to this shop, they did not inspect my car. The mechanic just signed the paper without taking a look of my car and filled in the paper WRONG. So I went back the same day to get it done and explained to the owner the mistakes and I wrote down one by one what needs to get done properly. Unfortunately, the mechanic wasn't there anymore so I have to go back the next day which will be the 5th time. I went back the next morning and the paper wasn't even filled in properly that I have to tell them where they screwed up AGAIN. The owners of this shop are not professional and they are incompetent. I do not recommend this car shop and don't waste your time and money in this place. They will also blame you for their mistakes.
