Specialist repairs for lease and hire vehicles to meet fair wear-and-tear standards. We address paint chips, scratches and bumper damage to prevent penalty charges. Services include pre-return inspections and documentation support.

Never use this place! Substituted used parts instead of new as designated after a vehicle accident. Took insurance check for new parts. If my car had not broken down on way home from their shop - no one would know. Terrible body shop.

Highly do not recommend this place.. If you have another option, you should use it. I really can't believe that they are a preferred service center for State Farm.

Great customer service! I think the road might be spelled McNeel. Google map doesn't show the correct current location.
