    To be clear — this review reflects my real, direct experience with Joe Hudson’s Collision Center during an active insurance claim. My vehicle was physically at your shop, your staff produced the estimate, and all repair decisions were routed through your DRP relationship with GEICO. The issue is not one location — it is the DRP model Joe Hudson operates under as a national chain. Customers deserve to understand that DRP shops are financially incentivized to follow insurer cost-control directives, favor repair over replacement, and minimize documentation of safety or mechanical disputes. In my case, this meant: • A damaged wheel being pushed for repair instead of replacement • Tire mismatch and drivetrain safety concerns being minimized • A low cosmetic bumper estimate (~$700) that did not reflect OEM-equivalent restoration • Safety and mechanical concerns not being documented in writing That is not “spam” — that is a legitimate customer experience. Posting this publicly is intended to help other consumers understand how DRP collision chains operate so they can make informed decisions about where to take their vehicle after an accident.

    Great Customer Service i would a 10 with how they treat me in the shop. Otherwise i had to comeback several times because i wasn’t satisfied with the quality of the job. I came back because it needed more buff on the paint and I was told that the fender was going to be repaired but on the invoice it was replaced with a Aftermarket part instead of a OEM one. The trim is a OEM part and now it has a small gap between them. I got tired of having to complain about the same situation and i just leave it like that.
