Wouldnt take my vehicles to any other body shop in the city. Winters went above and beyond, and even when I had problems a week after, they were quick to respond and fix the problem. Thank you for the wonderful service

Brought my vehicle in for MPI claim. AWFUL work was performed... Had hail damage, so PDR was done, they missed so many dents, they just put it up to human error. Fine. Had the hood and roof repainted due to damaged paint from hail. Over spray on body cab, paint lines on cab corners from runs, bubbling paint on hood and roof and damaged window scraper trim. Just terrible work and zero quality control. Went to pick up my vehicle and they told me that "normally people dont care and just get in and drive away". Huge red flag... I would never recommend anyone to take any mpi claims here. Stay away.
