We've relied on Bemac for years for dings, fender benders and worse. Always friendly, helpful and professional. They keep their promises. Your insurer may try to steer you to their preferred body shop, but request Bemac if you can. Recently dropped in unannounced for help with an issue that they were able to fix right away. Thank you Bemac!

Dropped by with a small, but annoying problem: I couldnt get my weather-beaten plates off the car to replace them. Not only did they explain potential issues that might occur, they offered to help on the spot. The friendliness, professionalism, and careeven while doing something that smallwas refreshing. That night I told a friend whod had a minor collision to visit them for the body work. Recommend the same to others.
