The work load seems to be lynch-pinned on one person to coordinate all services. My keys were not labeled or identified, and one customers keys were misplaced while I was waiting in the small lobby as well and had to be rummaged for for several minutes. The office is disorganized. I had to provide my insurance claim number, last name, phone number, and information several times, as a mixture of hand scratched paper records and computer invoices are used. The staff spent a portion of the time while I waited yelling across the small office at each other, with one member stating that they were the only reason that anyone came to the shop and that they were the only reason the shop was able to run. The office staff does not wear protective masks during a global pandemic, with multiple posted signs that say masks are not required and much smaller text stating that it is recommended (which makes no sense, as if the shop recommended it, they would wear them as well.)
I brought my vehicle in for hail damage repair. I had a time limit for repairs, which the shop understood and agreed they would look at the car that day, call me back, and then let me know if it was able to be done. They informed me that as long as it could be repaired traditionally, it would be definitely done by Monday afternoon (the day before I needed to leave), and then the vehicle was dropped off a week before the repairs needed to be complete. At the end of the third business day, I hadn't received a call back or any update on the progress or if they believed they could repair traditionally, but got a call from my insurance agent that was telling me she was informed from the shop that they could not do the repairs on time. I was never told this from the shop. I had to call again to ask about this, after which they coordinated only repairing my broken windshield. I had to call back the next afternoon (Friday) again for an update and I was told it would happen "maybe monday morning, or maybe monday afternoon, but they are going to figure out if they can get it done" when I have to leave town on Tuesday. Each call I would be told "I was JUST about to call you, thank goodness you called". When I asked to pick my car up because a different business in town could guarantee the repair, I was told that I should understand the repairs have been chaotic and they were on top of communicating with me about the services, and that it's unfortunate that I was unhappy with the service I received. Overall, my car was in their facility for approximately 6 days and no repair work was performed on it, and only an assessment of the damage was performed (independent assessment via insurance company took approximately 30 minutes to assess damage).
While I did not see the quality of any repair job that was performed, the client communication, organization, and office staff structure left a lot to be desired and I would recommend going elsewhere.
