There needs to be since every time someone recommends one, someone goes there and has a shit experience.
I've never seen a more inconsistent industry.

Open Road in Richmond was fast at doing a simple bumper repair. Only one day turnaround. Their workshop is like a warehouse.

I give 7/10 because there were a Couple of hairlines scratches in the Clear coat if you looked really close.

Color matching was flawless considering the car is almost 20 years old.

I currently having Fastrack work on my car.
My car got hit in mid April. I made an appointment and because of the long wait time, the earliest appointment I got was a month later.

Well, earlier this week, I dropped off my car and got a courtesy car. Later in the day, he calls me and tells me there was some issue ordering in my replacement fender and tells me to bring back the courtesy car and take my car back. The delay will be about a week and he doesn't want to keep my car at the shop if he can't work on it.

That's where I'm at now, and still waiting for my car to get repaired. I was told to bring my car back again next week (as in this coming Tuesday).


No review on their actual workmanship yet since I'm still waiting for them to take it in and work on it...

See, shit like that is so frustrating. I get the shop is busy, but they know your car is coming in, they gave you an estimate I'm sure so they have record of what car is coming in, how can they not have their ducks in a row for a fender after a month to prepare?!
Shit happens for sure, but its so common in the body shop world to have such half assed organization.

Good point. Like I said, I do get shit happens.
The point I'm making though is this happens more often than not though. At some point it simply comes down to lack of organization and quality service. Not necessarily in this instance, but way more than it should.

thanks for all replied, picture added, what do u guys think? chance write off?

[Traum]

No way it's a write off if that's the extent of it. But I always hate rear end collisions like this because it is easy for the trunk to not seal properly after repairs.
