Really great experience here. Staff are very transparent and friendly as well as accommodating. I brought my wrx here to have a crack in my bumper fixed and it was done in 2 days. I also had the luxury of driving a very nice new Toyota rav4 while I waited. Thank you so much for fixing my car and going above and beyond.

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of repairs this shop produces. My right rear passenger door was damaged a while back. I sent it here to have it replaced . They must have ripped off the interior door panel and all the exterior trim on the right side and broke the clips. THEY GLUED EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER AND DID NOT REPLACE THE CLIPS. The paint on the inside of the door has already began to peel. And there is orange peeling of the paint on the exterior of the right side of the car. I would never in a million years send my car back there again. I don't even have the trust in them to
