1 /5 edwin granados: Back in 2023, originally my Camry had damage to the front bumper and cracks on the front headlight. Careful when you sign!!! I signed to have the car "disassembled" and be given a estimate on repairs. They estimated repairs of $11,000, mind you I later got it repaired for $3,000. After I told them I did not want to go through with the repairs they gave me back my car completely disassembled and an estimate fee of $800, as far as the side doors being torn apart and my rear bumper as well down to the frame. Thankfully the people at "Chico color body and paint" took my car in pieces and repaired it for me. MIND you they informed me that many car parts were missing including my bumper and many parts from my side doors (obviously stolen by knockout collision). Yes I went back and asked for the parts and yes they denied it saying they probably got lost when I had my car towed.... seriously!!!! ALSO it took me 8 months!!! For the manager to return my GEICO insurance checks back to me since they have you give them your insurance checks before an "repairs" are made. I went in several times asking for my checks they said they couldnt cause it would be a booking nightmare!!! They said they required an insurance agent to come in person for those checks, my agent informed me thats illegal and those checks were written over in my name from the insurance company. Not until I went in person and yelled at the poor front desk girl, that stupid manager finally gave me my insurance checks after 8 months!!! 8 months with no car cause of these people. NOTE: Scammers who stole car parts from me. In the photos interior car doors were completely stripped to the bare bone with those parts missing. As well as my rear bumper being gone.
EDIT: (after owner response) GEICO informed me and you as well no checks sent to them would be accepted as a reimbursement due to those checks being written to me in my name, simple fix of writing those checks back to me but no it was months of back and forth until I went in disgruntled and demanded those checks. And YES I got that damage fixed for roughly $3000 dollars, let me clarify $3000 in paid deductibles (picture provided as proof). And yes I pulled my car out of your shop, due to you giving me an estimate of $11,000 and GEICOS estimate was $4,399, I was not willing to pay that difference. These were bad business practices, I brought my car in on a Friday, I got the estimate Monday morning, I was informed you already ordered the parts (and at this point my checks were given to you as well), I was also informed my car was disassembled for the "estimate" and I was told you could not reassemble my car for safety reasons (drastically disassembled mind you). My options were to pay the $6000 difference and go through with the repairs, or pay the "estimate" fee on the disassembly and take my car back in pieces. I went with the second option, it was obvious entrapment to force my hand inorder to go through with the repairs, on a naive student with no real world experience. My mistakes were not taking a clear video of all the disassembled parts, (since you definitely kept several according to two of the top rated body shops in town collision pros and chico color body and paint whom both have a strong opinion of your malpractice and theft) and then my biggest mistake trusting this business. There are more honorable ways to run a business and make a living. Thank you.
