Our car was damaged by large hail in March of 2021, with insurance we made an appointment with Texland Collision. They viewed paperwork provided by insurance and the car was dropped off on April 26th 2021. After our car was there for a week, they called us to contact our insurance adjuster for further damages. The owner stated that our car needed the roof replaced due to the extent of damages, also stating that after being replaced, the car would need to be repainted. When asked how long repairs would take, we were told a week would be needed. Our adjuster went out and re-quoted the amount needed for repair, $16,000 from insurance due to the roof replacement. A week goes by, we call for an update and are told the roof is on back order but they will be repairing the rest of the car in the meantime. Another week goes by without an update. Each time we call, we are told that the owner will give us a call back. Not once did we get a returned phone call, so we would call again.
At this point, it is mid May. We contact our insurance adjuster to make contact with the body shop, Texland Collision Center. Our adjuster is told that our car will be ready Monday May 24th 2021. An entire month our car had sat at Texland Collision center.
When picking up our car, it was filthy. It looked as if the car had sat out in a dust storm for the entire month while also being rained on, FILTHY.
Before going inside, we walked around the car to see how repairs were made. Our car had several new scratches on the rear bumper as well as a scratch on the back gate. The hood of the car also still had Knicks.
Walked inside to ask about damages, was told "lady, you're crazy. We're not fixing your shit for free." Mind you, the scratches were fresh, paint chips still sitting around the scratches.
When complaining of the deep scratch on the rear gate, the owner dipped his finger in paint and put it over the scratch- stating "this is the best we'll be able to do without a new claim".
Reviewing our paperwork, the roof had not been replaced. Texland Collision did PDR ( paintless dent repair) on the entire car and still took an entire month to do so while also scratching our exterior. After looking through the inside of the car, there are scratches and knicks EVERYWHERE. Any piece that had to be moved to do PDR, scratched. Our driver door now rattles because the clips were broken on the inside. The passenger door that meets the roof rattles because of clips being broken. Our rear gate seal was cut, so the first time we washed the car, there was water in the rear interior of our vehicle. The rear interior of our car is scratched like someone carelessly went about with tools and bumped into each wall several times.
The best I could say is to never step foot near this place. The owner is down right rude after intentionally damaging our car. They made $9,000 on repairs but damaged our car beyond repair. We would have to replace the interior to feel like it was ours again. Obviously they do not care about customers either, calling us crazy and cursing us for wanting them to fix their damages.
Each week, it seems as if we're finding another thing damaged or broken. read more
