Work was done great! I've used some other shops before and I noticed issues later on. For context, I have an older vehicle but the paint match is perfect and it's around 2 months from receiving my car back from them. Very pleased with the work and great job! read more

Wreck Effects Auto Body is truly a rare gem in the auto industry. We were referred to them by our trusted mechanic after our family SUV was involved in an accident. Not only did they store our Lexus LX for nearly two months while the at-fault insurance company (cough USAA cough) dragged their feet, but they also helped protect us from being bullied and ignored during the entire claims process. They advocated for us when the at-fault's insurance company stopped responding to our emails and calls and walked us through every step with patience, clarity, and compassion. When it came time to purchase a replacement vehicle, they even did a pre-purchase inspection to make sure it was safe for our family. That kind of care and attention to detail is something you don't see every day. Everyone we interacted with at Wreck Effects was genuine, kind, and down-to-earth. They never tried to upsell us or take advantage of the situation--instead, they extended us grace, gave us honest advice, and went above and beyond when they didn't have to. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone, especially those with luxury vehicles. Their professionalism, communication, and integrity are unmatched. If you're looking for people who will treat you like more than just a number, this is the shop to trust. read more

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. read more

Wreck Effects Auto Body - Body Shops Near Me - Highlands Ranch, Colorado

One of the few honest car repair shops. You can count on the management being up front and clear about what is going on, what realistically should or should not be done. Unlike other shops they will actually recommend you to NOT get unnecessary costly repairs even though they would make money off of it. They care more about what is best for the customer instead of a quick buck. They are very easy to work with and transparent and communicative throughout the whole process. read more

I needed a loose part fixed on the back of my Honda, and was hoping to get it done before the weekend, because I need to drive out of town. These guys took a look at it and provided a simple fix while I was waiting! Very happy to have their help - thank you, Bryan! read more

Although I only had some minor fender work done, I would gladly use Wreck Effects again. Ken was very helpful and rather than try to gouge me, gave me some less expensive alternatives. In my case popping out the bumper but not fixing the paint on my 4Runner which was a huge savings. read more

Great and accommodating. Easy to work with and very clean. Lovely local shop that will make you feel welcome.

Best Auto repair I've ever had! The quality of the work restored my car to showroom quality at a fair price and in a faster time than I expected since the damage was quite extensive. Other quotes included twice as long to repair the car so i definitely picked the correct one. The staff was great about keeping me informed as each stage of the repair was happening. Fantastic repair, friendly service, fair price! I will trust all my cars to Wreck Effects!! read more

Quality and honesty are white I found here. In addition no hidden fees, everything was up front. One of the kiddos used the incorrect side of the snow brush and created some unexpected scratches. Evaluation and estimate were accurate and more than fair. Thank you for making a stressful situation with unexpected outcome was an easy experience. Grateful for honesty and transparency. Thank you! read more

This team rocks. Clear communication throughout the process and quality work. They went above and beyond to ensure exact color matching for my vehicle, navigated with my insurance, and kept me updated throughout. So glad we picked Wreck Effects. Words out, this is the place to go! Agree with other reviews, don't go anywhere else. You can tell the difference right away between this shop and others. No shortcuts or after market parts. Shout out to Reno, who is just awesome to work with. read more

Ken and his crew knows their stuff. Super helpful even without paying for a service. Just willing to help and kind

This is truly an amazing company all around. Great people & great work. I had a slightly tricky situation that they handled with amazing compassion and insight, & were able to have me squared away super easy and quick. I wish I had found them sooner!! MASSIVELY GOOD CAR-MA HERE!! read more

I cannot speak highly enough about this shop and its work. I had a dent in my car that some unthoughtful person left around Christmas time. Going through the insurance company would've probably cost over $3000. I took it to Wreck Effects and they did a scratch and dent repair that is good beyond belief. And they also found issues with a prior accident repair from a very reputable shop that didn't do good work and fixed it. And then they fixed every dent and scratch on my car--it looks brand new!! It cost me $300 and I am beyond grateful. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality and service. Very professional. My car was in their shop for five hours! read more

So yes, they did the work well, and yes, they got me right in and were finished quickly, and yes, the price was very reasonable, and yes, they even did a few extra things they didn't charge me for. Even more than all those things, they were real people who were a pleasure to work with. I hope I don't need them again, but if I do, I'll be back without a second thought. read more

It's refreshing to work with an automotive business that is friendly, professional, honest and upfront about pricing - but most of all does great work. I recently needed some fender repair, and my trusted mechanic at Highlands Ranch Automotive recommended Wreck Effects. From my initial call to schedule an appointment to the final result, everyone was a pleasure to work with. When I find an organization I like and trust, I stick with them. This company will be my goto shop for any bodywork. Trust the reviews! you will not be disappointed!! read more

Must be too busy to accept new people or I'm not sure what the problem was, maybe that I'm a Mexican-American woman? I went in for an estimate and was told that someone would contact me within the next 2 weeks to put me on the schedule. 2 weeks later after not hearing anything I called at 9am and asked what was going on. Shannon I believe her name was said she would call me back, I waited until 3pm and still didn't hear anything so I called back to follow up and I got sent to voicemail. Immediately I called off my husband's number and they magically answered and transferred me back to the lady who said she would call back in 2 minutes and never called back. I thought we would try to support a small business instead of a big chain business but I'm gladly taking my business elsewhere. read more

I cannot say enough fantastic stuff about this Wreck Effects. I was in a car accident on the day of the first snow of the season. Right after the collision, I looked up a local auto body place and saw the stellar reviews for Wreck Effects, and the things that stood out were "quality", "trust", "caring", so I called in to see if they could take a look at my car. The said they could see the car same day. I headed over and was pleasantly surprised on so many levels. Although they had many other cars and customers, they sure made me feel like I was the only one. They prioritized time with me, my car, and got to know my individual circumstances, and they had patience knowing the insurance process wouldn't be quick. They also gave me practical advice on "the now" since my car was driveable, but not entirely safe, and made sure I understood that along with things like replacing the car seats quickly, or perhaps, not transporting my kids until the car is fixed. They handled everything, even when there were delays with insurance. Nothing slowed down and they still fixed my car, even faster than the time quoted. And how did my car look and operate when done? It was perfect, looked exactly as it did before the accident. They also have an online system that notifies you each step of the way. That was handy and between that and the emails from Chloe my awesome tech, I never felt like I wasn't sure where everything stood. I was informed and well taken care of. And bonus, none of their parts used are aftermarket or repaired parts. I knew that if I was going to put my kids back into the car where the collision occurred, I needed quality, second to none service. And THAT is what I got with Wreck Effects. read more

I learned the hard way to pay attention to YELP reviews! After a strange and somewhat disastrous experience with another nearby auto body shop that has decidedly mixed reviews on yelp, I took my car to Wreck Effects and immediately understood why the reviews here aren't mixed. Kenneth (the Owner) and his wife are some of the most delightful people I have ever met. From the moment you enter their shop you are greeted by a professional staff who convey a genuine passion for what they do - and especially, for offering great customer service. After explaining the problem I encountered at the other auto body shop, they immediately examined my vehicle and offered up a well-priced solution with the understanding that another more expensive remedy may instead be required. My car was ultimately turned over to the expertise of Patrick who is truly a master of his craft. While Patrick was able to repair the damage to my car for the less expensive option, I can honestly say that had the more expensive option been required, I would still be writing this same positive review. If all businesses operated with the integrity and excellence displayed by Wreck Effects, there would be no need for YELP. read more

Wreck Effects Auto Body - Body Shops Near Me - Highlands Ranch, Colorado

This shop will break every promise they make to you, fail to return phone calls and fail to complete repairs then claim that you are at fault. Wreck Effects had my truck for 47 days. In that time, they broke at least three promises to have the work completed by a date certain. When I tried to contact them to find out when I would get my truck, they did not return phone calls. When I finally got in touch, somehow this all became my fault and they yelled at me. With respect to the delays, each time they blamed my insurance company for low balling the estimate (an insurance carrier underestimated the cost of repairs -shocking, I know) and their suppliers could not get them parts. They claim that there have been delays in getting parts since the Covid lockdowns, but Covid lockdowns ended three years ago, so if your part suppliers cannot get their acts together, get another supplier. I had made camping plans relying on their promised dates for completing repairs and had to cancel those trips (my wife's Prius will not tow a camper). I lost the reservation money as a result. The worst part of all this - when I complained about them promising the return of my truck on three separate dates and not delivering, they yelled at me! They said that I had no right to expect them to meet any date for the competition of repairs, despite their express promises to make those dates. When I noted that I had paid for campsite reservations based on the dates they gave me for competition of the repairs of my truck, they said I was being unreasonable and should not have relied on their promises. Of course, once you pick a body shop, you are stuck with them. In my case they had taken off the damaged bits of the trucks body so I could not just drive it off the lot and they would not release the truck until insurance paid them. To get my truck back, I had to resort to threatening complaints and small claims actions under the Colorado Motor Vehicle Repair Act. While I got my truck back after paying in full, the work is still not finished and a part is supposedly on back order. I doubt they will keep their promise to finish the repair since they broke every other promise they made to me. If you go to them your vehicle will be sucked into a black hole, never to return without the threat of small claims lawsuits. Avoid them at all costs. read more

I would never go anywhere else. Family owned, and everyone is always happy when I go there. They had repaired my car last summer and put it back together after I had been back ended. They do beautiful work! I had gone to the holiday drive-in movie at Red Rocks last week and my headlights would not go out no matter what I did, my battery ended up going dead, and the battery was only 10 months old, so I wanted to get the electrical checked but didn't know where to start. Wreck Effects had sent me a blanket customer email saying that they wanted their customers to be happy and offering free advice, so I thought I would start with them on the electrical issue so that if it was a short they could help me to find it. Three of them looked at my car together, read the manual, troubleshot it, and they finally discovered a programming option on the console to turn off the driving lights. I had thought the electrical system was having problems and it turned out to be a programming feature that I did not know about, and would not have found without their help. Wreck Effects is awesome! They do awesome work, the service is over the top great, and they have a wonderful atmosphere where everyone is always happy and enjoys what they do! You always hope that you are not going to be in an accident or have anything bad happen to your car, but Wreck Effects takes a personal interest in all of their customers, and I would not go anywhere else! read more

My Lexus just came out of the shop after extensive damage. The car was considered totaled but I elected to fix it vs buying another car. I chose this path because of Ken/Shannon and staffs treatment of myself and the car. Their approach was straight forward and very honest. My original estimate was within $100 of the final work done on a $12,000 fix. Ken pointed out from the beginning that a 10% margin was required until they took everything apart. I replaced everything with original(OEM) parts. The car came back to me exceeding my expectations. There was a minor mechanical malfunction, perhaps as a result of the accident and it was fixed through a mechanic Wreck Effects uses. If you want an honest answer and just fantastic customer experience stop here. I've used several other shops for other things and they were big and sloppy. No one likes a wreck but this is as smooth as you could hope for. An 11 on a scale of 1-10 Dave P read more

Grade A customer service and exceptional product. There were initially some difficulties in the process, but Wreck Effects handled the issues with tact and concern- from the front desk to the managers. I consider them a professional team that understands long-term business relationships, ethics, and demonstrates pride in their work. In the end, our repairs look amazing and they took care of us. One of the best businesses I have dealt with in Denver. read more

They were so helpful! Customer service was amazing from the front desk who answered my questions to the owner who gave me an estimate of repairs on the fly. Thank you! read more

I had dents and chips in the paint of my Jeep. They were very reasonably priced compared to other auto bodies. I was paying out of pocket and not going through insurance so that was important. The staff were so friendly, the fix was very quick, and they kept me updated daily on the progress of my car. I highly recommend wreck effects. read more

Wreck Effects was so friendly, fair priced services, and great communication. I trust them & will definitely use them again come time of need. read more

This is a model of what a repair shop experience should be like. Friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive! They had the answers to everything I needed and kept up with the insurance companies. I absolutely loved the way I was taken care of and would recommend this shop to anyone in need of vehicle repair. read more

I took my car to Wreck Effects for front bumper replacement. I was impressed with their honesty and transparency and, the time they spent with me. Ken and Reno not only took care of my car, but they made sure that I was happy with the final product and encouraged me to come back in if I wasn't fully satisfied. - I'd recommend Wreck Effects to anyone looking for honesty and great customer service read more

I just picked up my Mazda Miata from Wreck Effects. They did a great job on a challenging repair and kept it cost effective too. Craftsmanship, attention to detail and customer service where second to none. It's important you feel like you know what's going on with your repair; they understand this and communicated on a high level It's obvious Ken and all of the crew take great pride in their work and work on your car like it was theirs. I have no reservations about recommending Wreck Effects to anyone. read more

I got a door ding while parked at target, felt bad for the family so opted to just pay out of my pocket to get it fixed. Was referred to Wreck Effects to get the dent a scratched repaired. After they examined my 4Runner they told me that they would first try to buff the area out. They did this to save me from replacing the factory paint job. Fortunately they were able to buff the area out, and then told me to go back to the paint less dent repair to get the dent pulled out. Did I mention they refused to charge me for buffing our the scratch! Ken and his employees are awesome, and if I ever need their help in the future I will go to them, also I will always refer anyone I can to their shop. Thanks again Ken for being honest business owner with integrity! read more

From beginning to end, Wreck Effects did a great job on my Tacoma. Ken did a thorough inspection of the damage - much more than the other three shops did. The quote he gave me was higher but it turned out to be much closer to the actual cost. There was very little back and forth with the insurance company and the truck was finished in a timely manner. Great job! read more

Fantastic business - they are super friendly and professional. I came with a scratch in my roof and left 30min later after they buffed it out. Car looks pristine again! Thank you Wreck Effects Auto Body! Highly recommend this company. read more

I just wanted to write another raving review for these guys. Ken and his wife are so great. So honest and down to earth. I took my car there today (masked up and all :) ) to look at a scrape on my rear side bumper. Ken came out with his handy paint thinner and rags and cleaned it right off! I thought for sure there was going to be some body work. Even though there is a little damage, it was esthetics only. He was honest and said that it's not worth fixing because the paint might get thinner and not match the factory paint. How great is that? These guys have a slower business now because of the COVID quarantine and yet they are still so friendly and honest. If you need any body work done - GO TO WRECK EFFECTS. Seriously. read more

Highly recommend Wreck Effects for auto body repair! Very professional, efficient, personable staff. Did a GREAT job replacing my bumper. It is better than new. They also DETAILED my car before I picked it up, it's never been cleaner. The owner, Ken Dahmer, was out there flicking lint off the car as I drove up to pick it up. LOL. Took a few days longer to fix than initially indicated because they had to order a part (couldn't see that it needed to be replaced until after they got the bumper off) and they updated me every day. Great body shop! read more

I really want to thank this place so much! I brought my car here a couple months ago because I was side swiped. They were so thorough with the amount of pictures they took and sending all the information over to the other persons insurance for me. Although my car was totaled out and they didn't actual do any work on my car, The manager Chloe is amazing and really helps you fight insurance for what you need and deserve. The owners Ken and Shannon are so friendly and extremely helpful and kind. I want to thank them so so so much. ALSO my boyfriend was just recently side swiped and I 100% referred him to them too. They were of course apologetic that we were there again in the same 6 months but so happy that we came back to them. I seriously cannot express enough how welcoming and helpful they are. Thank you so much Wreck Effects Auto Body!!! read more

Just got my Jeep back and I couldn't be happier!! This is the place to go if you need your vehicle fixed. The owners are great, the staff is great it was all around great experience! read more

I used these folks back in October when my car had to be towed due to being totaled by a Texas driver with no idea how to drive in the snow . They were wonderful to deal with - professional, helpful and worked with my insurance easily. I would use them again anytime; although I hope I don't have too. read more

This might be an odd way to write a review about an auto body shop when they have yet to perform any work on my car but the owners from Ken and Shannon to employees such as Patrick and Chloe completely get customer service. A friend of mine is a perfection maniac and loves these people for their, 1. Attention to detail on several of his cars(hail damage) 2. Customer service, as I said above. I brought a car in I knew would be totaled because of the damage. I brought it in the day of the accident and Ken took the time to give me a ballpark estimate to work with. The very next day he gave me a complete and very detailed estimate. I took that information and have decided to take the salvage money and fix the car. I trust whose fixing my car and the desired outcome vs finding another used car. The details he gave me to help make an informed decision without any B.S. is what we all desire. I will write another review when the work is complete and I suspect the end result will be outstanding. Dave P. read more

I was recommended Wreck Effects by a family friend and they were able to do an estimate later that day. By far the most professional and friendly staff I've encountered at an auto body shop. The estimate was very thorough and concise and they adjusted a damaged body panel so my car was safer to drive until they could get it into the shop. I was skeptical about the repair time estimate due to past experiences with other auto body shops, but my car was done on time and the repair work looks perfect. I wish I had known about this place earlier this year when I got rear ended. As a bonus, there's an enterprise car rental next door. I definitely would recommend Wreck Effects and come back. read more

They got my car completed on my required time frame. I appreciated every aspect of their customer service!

I scraped the front fender and had white lines all over. They were able to clean all of it off at no charge. There's still a small scrape that's not worth fixing. I was treated so nicely. I will come back here if I have new needs. Thanks for the positive experience!! read more
