My husband was hit by a deer late one night while driving home from Chicago. The windshield was…read moreshattered and basically the whole drivers side of the car damaged. The police called a local towing company who took the car back to their lot. When they didn't bring it to our area (a little over an hour away) the next day as we had scheduled, we looked for a body shop in that area on Yelp and Facebook and found one that looked promising. This is where Heartland comes in! I left a message on their machine since they were closed for the weekend. My first positive surprise was when the owner called me later that day. We decided to have them do the work and told him we'd contact the towing company to get the car over there. Unfortunately it took several days before it got there (which is why I won't be posting a positive review for the tow co.). Once it arrived they reviewed the estimate from our insurance company and started ordering parts. The car was completed sooner than we anticipated based on the length of time insurance estimated, plus thanksgiving week. My husband went to pick it up earlier this week and is thrilled with how it looks. There had been slivers of glass in the interior from the broken windshield, but the guys vacuumed and cleaned out everything...including, apparently, our change cup. They did say we may still find some here and there over time. Bottom line- my husband would recommend them based on the fantastic job they did putting our car back together ($9000+ damage). And I was thrilled with how friendly they were working over the phone. I called several times to see if the car had ever gotten there from the tow lot, and received updates from them once they had it. I've still never met them but wholeheartedly recommend them!

I did..... he looked at it and then informed me he doesn't guarantee rust prevention work.....just a heads up....here's the photos

They were very rude to my daughter when she brought her car in due to a starter issue. They treated…read moreher like she was a dumb kid wasting their time. She has had troubles with her car starting several times and was recommended to go to A&B. She dropped off her car and they called her that night and told her that they started it just fine 15 different times. They had her leave it over night so they could check it the next day and told her the same thing. Said there was nothing wrong with the car. However, the people who recommended them tested her battery and starter and all that and said it was coming up as the starter being low. And to take it to A&B because the first garage couldn't do starters. They didn't bother to do a voltage drop test on the starter cable and ground circuit, or check for a dead spots or inspect the neutral safety switch or clutch pedal switch. They just decided that since it started it was fine and not worth their time. We won't be going back. Although, from the sounds of how they treated her, I doubt they'll care.
