“I went to three different auto body shops in the are.
One of them from Angie's List, rank it all up on the computer and gave me a quote of $1,100 saying he was pretty sure he could fix the dent rather than replace the lift gate.
The second shop was from my insurance provider. He too, rang it all up on the computer and gave me a quote of $1,500.
At Dent and Detail, Danny (the General Manger), looked that dent, open the lift gate, never went to his computer and said $700.
They had good review on Yelp and Google so I scheduled the repair.
He said it would be three days (mostly to let the paint dry).
When I picked the car up, I could not tell it had ever been dented.
Paid with a credit card and left, very happy.
About a week later, I noticed a tiny spot they had missed. No one else saw it until I pointed it out.
DandD offered to repair it, but it was so tiny I let it go.
About 10 days after that a serious flaw in the repair showed up. Like an etched design in the lift gate. The the paint started to peel.
The car is going back to be fixed July 13. I will update as necessary and may change the rating again.
I brought the car back. Manny told me the new flaw was the paint lifting, probably due to the extreme humidity. He would repair it and buy a heavy duty sealer to prevent it from happening again.
When I picked the car up, the re repair was excellent. We will wait and see in 2-3 weeks if any damage comes back.
While, of course, there was no additional charge, my concern was, why this was not done in the first place.
However, if it holds, for the difference it cost, it is was worth it.
It has been two weeks since the re-repair and everything on the car is fine.
I will only update this review should there be a change.
Responsiveness and Professionalism only got a B because the job needed to be redone.”
