We don’t post enough on our site and I apologize for that but I felt this is one is something people need to be aware of. Insurance companies push you to those big corporate shops on hwy 98 and this is how they do repairs. In this case the insurance company will make them pay for what it takes to make it right but thats because they were caught red handed. They won’t remove them from their program because they are essentially saving them a lot of money by doing these type repairs on your vehicle. Just a quick run down of what is wrong, the shop panel bonded (glued) the headlight in place instead of replacing it, didn’t even bother to replace the socket for the turn lamp, they just taped it off. The vehicle has several electrical problems now that will have to be fixed. I’m not saying we are perfect or that we are quick but we do try to do it right. Please don’t fall into that trap, I’m not saying that you have to come here to get your vehicle repaired correctly. There are a couple shops in town that correctly repair vehicles but keep business local and out of the hands of butcher shops like this.
