    I took my car to Wreck Effects after my running board was damaged at a car wash. The repair involved replacing the entire running board and its motor, and Ken, the owner, told me the job would take one day once the parts arrived. I waited until the parts were in before dropping off my car--yet it still sat there for weeks because Ken refused to begin work until the insurance company paid him upfront, which is not standard practice. I had to repeatedly follow up and mediate between him and the insurance company just to get the work started. Ken also pressured me not to give the insurance company "too much information," insisting that I let him "handle things." I was simply trying to be above board, but he seemed determined to control what was communicated. When I finally got my car back, I discovered that he had not replaced the motor at all, even though insurance was charged for both parts and labor. Instead, he handed me the brand-new motor, told me not to mention it to insurance, and falsely claimed I could sell it for over $1,000 (when in reality, it was worth closer to $100). Ken had previously assured me that I could keep my old motor as a spare, since it was still functional and could be used if the other running board motor ever failed. Instead, he just never installed the new motor at all. I never asked to be involved in anything questionable--I just wanted my car repaired properly. On top of that, when I picked up my car, there was a long black mark running down both the driver's side and rear doors, as if the car had rubbed against something. Ken tried to buff it out, but some of the mark remained. After weeks of frustration, I was too exhausted to push back. After my experience, I noticed another review from Michael S. describing nearly identical issues--delays, poor communication, and questionable handling of repairs, which suggests this isn't a one-time problem. The only positive was Shannon, the receptionist, who was kind and professional. Unfortunately, that didn't make up for the delays, dishonesty, and lack of professionalism I experienced. I would never bring my car here again and strongly urge others to be cautious before trusting this shop.

    Ken was very helpful and rather than try to gouge me, gave me some less expensive alternatives.

    Quality One Dent

    (51 reviews)

    I have a low mileage classic car that I love very very much. A careless driver hit me and I was…read morereally upset. Luckily, that driver had insurance. I didn't want to take my precious car any old place to get the body damage fixed. I did a ton of research to find the right place that could do a fantastic job fixing my car, and would also take the other driver's insurance and make sure that insurance paid for all the work. Quality One Dent had nothing but great reviews so even though it's quite a drive from where I live, I decided to take my car there. It was really easy to schedule and get my car in for an estimate. JP and Danielle were easy to talk to and work with. They kept me updated on the progress of the repairs to my car. And they appreciated how much I love my car and took care of it for me. Quality One Dent did a phenomenal job fixing my classic car. It had looked great before the other car hit it and I hoped that it would still look great after the repairs. Quality One Dent had to search all over the US for various decals and parts and the car looks brand new instead of a little bit faded, as it had before. I'm very meticulous and have high standards, and I was really pleased to see that they do as well. On top of making the car look better, when they reassembled the body parts, the car actually drove better than it had since I bought it. I'm the 7th owner of the car. When I bought it, it had a few alignment problems which I'd spent a lot of money to try to fix but it was never perfect. And the steering column always vibrated a bit as I was driving. Somehow, after Quality One Dent reassembled the front end, the car drives much more smoothly and the alignment is perfect. So it's more than I expected and I'm overjoyed at the job that they did. They took the time to match the paint perfectly. I learned that the antique decals had taken a lot of time and patience to remove properly without damaging the body. They got it all right and the car looks amazing.

    Based on their very high rating on Yelp I visited Quality One Dent on Dec 17 2024, for a repair…read moreestimate for front end damage on my 2025 Volvo XC60. While examining my vehicle the estimator Paul allowed the hood to free-fall onto the safety catch, which was still in an up position, likely because it was not functioning correctly due to the front end damage. I saw this as it happened, but not quickly enough to prevent it. We opened the hood again to find the frame of the safety catch now pushed down inside the surrounding platform. Paul immediately apologized and said, 'that's on me.' He tried to return the safety latch back to its original position but failed. He then asked for the keys and drove the vehicle inside their shop to repair the catch. He returned with the latch held in place by duct tape surrounding the frame of the catch (you can see this in the photo attached to this review). He assured me they would 'take care' of this when I brought the vehicle back for repair of the front end damage. Upon receiving their repair estimate via email later that day I noticed it included a line item for $96.47 for the safety catch. The line item showed labor was 'included.' At this point I decided it may be better to take the vehicle to a certified Volvo repair center because the estimate from Quality One indicated they were not qualified to re calibrate the front end camera. I returned to Quality One later that same day to ask for compensation for the broken safety catch. Paul seemed willing to compensate me for the damaged catch, but then the owner PJ was called in. PJ basically said as far as he was concerned the safety catch was already broken and I should just have insurance cover that cost as part of the overall repair. I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't budge. This has been very upsetting for me, as Paul clearly admitted to breaking the frame of the safety catch. At this point there is nothing I can do but post this review as a warning to others who are considering using Quality One Dent for their repairs.
