I was extremely lucky to have met Trace, from Valet Auto Body.
It was about 2:00AM, when my husband and I were driving home from a friend's house, and it was extremely foggy outside. We got into a wreck on SB I-15, but were mostly okay (hit and run/the other vehicle didn't stop). I was able to maneuver my car to the shoulder of the freeway near the median. We both got out to look at the damage done to my car, when another vehicle pulled off to assist.
The gentleman that stopped was Trace, who thought we had broken down. He saw that we had crashed, my face was bleeding, and we were just standing there. (Still in shock.) -He walked me to his car, gave me a water and said he would make sure my car could still drive, and that he had a body shop just off the freeway, where he could take it.
His friend drove me and my husband to the hospital while Trace took my car to his body shop. He brought me everything I needed from my car, ie. phone, wallet, etc. His friend stayed and spoke to my mom, explaining everything that had happened, but that we were okay. (By this point, I was having a panic attack about my car and my face, and was basically in hysterics.)
Trace and his friend stayed to make sure we were okay and gave us his card and said he would have my car at his shop where I could get anything I needed out of it.
He had already determined that the car was totaled, as the airbags had gone off, and it was a 2001 model. He said they would do whatever they could to help.
After a few days, I went to Valet to get everything I could out of my car. I told Trace that wanted the tires off of my car, but other than that, it's going to a junk yard. He said that they could take the tires off and put some junk tires on for a very low price, and that they would help me get it wherever it needed to go.
It's been over a month now, and I'm still working on getting it sold, and I haven't been charged for Valet holding onto it.
Needless to say, Trace is a very respectable person, who not only goes out of his way to help people for his job, but in his personal time as well. I really think things couldn't have gone any better, for the terrible situation we were in. We were so lucky to have had Trace and his friend stop, and be so willing to help us out.
I would recommend Valet to anyone and everyone, because I know I could trust Trace to be honest, straight-forward, and provide service at the best possible rate. And he is so willing to go out of his way to help out his customers, and even those who are not his customers! read more
