I was so lucky to learn about this repair shop for collision work. The owner/mechanic of a nearby car repair business that I have much respect for recommended Thetford's so I knew I'd be in good hands. I have a VW and it turns out the Oneonta VW dealer before it closed used this shop exclusively. I spoke to one of the employees when I first arrived and it turns out he worked there for 20 years, so that in itself speaks highly of the environment created by the owner. No wonder. The owner is thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable and down to earth. He picked up my car from the car rental business and dropped it off when the repair was complete. I was offered an appointment for the initial inspection right away and the owner took charge and talked to my insurer directly identifying all apparent damage, even asking for OEM parts, as I said I preferred to aftermarket, which direct communication I didn't know was an option and which spared me a longer process to get the ball rolling. The place my insurer named wanted me to wait 2 weeks. A few extras were done that did not even show up on the invoice: add'l painting where a stone kicked up and scraped the metal surface and a repair to secure my license plate which was knocked out of place. They drove my car on a rough road to check out a rattle I reported experiencing, also unrelated but time consuming, and this is after the invoice was final. The repair I brought my car there for after an accident was impeccable. They do a high volume of business and get repeat business due to the quality of the work done. Highly recommend. read more
