  They Are the worst body shop that you can imagine poor workmanship, wrong parts, funny that one of their employees put a customers vehicle through the wall of the building. Unprofessional, poor workmanship. SLOPPY! WORK.

  Had a front-end accident with my wife in the car outside of Nashville. Thankfully, the car was drivable and we were unhurt. We had hundreds of miles to get home. However, the dash was indicating that we needed to add a quart of oil and the hood was jammed shut. We were told to see Jacob at Tusculum Body Shop. When we got there Jacob came right out, listened to our plight and assessed the situation. He was able to fix the hood so that we could open it, add our oil, close it and continue on - knowing that if we had some kind of leak, we would be able to add additional oil on the way with no problem. This is what we encountered: an attentive and kind man who didn't hesitate to help us and rectified the problem for a couple of complete strangers that he'd probably never see again. Jacob is a man of kindness, integrity, and talent. Great appreciation and thanks due to him. I'm sure that you will be in good hands should you ever need the services of his shop! God Bless.

  HORRIBLE experience. I originally went because my car had front driver side damage & rear passenger side damage & the fuel tank guard under my car was tore off from running over a rogue tire. While it was being repaired I asked if they could fix dog scratches on the sides of my car and a couple chips of paint on the hood. I offered to pay for this out of my pocket and realize it was not part of the collision damage. I also had a piece on my hatch that had gotten bent under. (Last summer was rough) My car is less than 3 years old and only had 55k miles on it. They had it for 2 weeks. Upon picking up my car I was devastated by the damage done to the paint. When they tried buffing out the scratches they got into my paint and missed over 50% of the scratches. There are buff marks beside the windshield where there was no damage to begin with. The chrome around the window also has buff damage. When I asked about the damage to the paint I was told I only needed to put some wax on it. I took my car to 3 other shops asking about repairing the paint. None could believe I was told it could be fixed with wax. The best quote I got to repair the damage is for $1k. The chips I requested to be repaired had not been touched. As far as the damage repairs paid for by my insurance I am not at all pleased with it either. There are 2 chips of paint missing where the deer hit my car. I was told they weren't repaired because they didn't consider it a part of the claim. There is dirt in the paint and pock marks where the clear coat didn't fill in. When I pointed that out the response was that not even paint from a brand new car is perfect. There is a dent that goes outward on the door where the deer hit. When I took the car back and asked about it I was told that was damage done by someone else who had previously worked on my car and had had the door apart. I am the sole owner of the car and have never had any other work done to it. I was told they would fix it for a $700 charge to my insurance. After washing my car one of the places where there was dirt under the paint came off when I sprayed it with the high power wash. Now I have an area with no paint at all. There was a substance spilled on the grill of the car. When I asked about it they claim it was not done at the shop. It is very clearly a run of some sort that is only on the grill. Not the hood and not the bumper. This could only have happened if it occurred while the grill was off. I asked 3 other body shops and they all told me they believe it is clear coat spilled on it. The tire that hit the front driver side tore off off the molding around the wheel housing. After I got my car back from being repaired I noticed that there is a large gap between there and the door and that the new strip of molding was not attached correctly. I took it back to TBS and asked about it. After he looked at it I was told it apparently hadn't been fixed before the molding was put on and was broken. That they could put in a supplement to my insurance to fix it. I am still confused why the molding was put on over a broken piece. While there I asked about the guard under my car. It had not been replaced and when I asked about it he appeared clueless it needed replaced even though during my first trip there to get the estimate for repairs I had him look under the car to see what was missing and was told it was the guard. Since he didn't look under it again while it was being repaired I am concerned there may be more damage from the rogue tire that no one bothered checking for. Again they offered to file a supplement. There are 2 places where the paint ran. I am upset and disappointed with myself over the whole ordeal. The owners are family friends and I trusted them to take care of my car. They are not on my insurance agents list and when I told them that, I was told not to worry about that that I wasn't required to take it to who my insurance agent suggested that they guarantee their work 100%. Unfortunately that is not true and it is going to cost me thousands
