Caliber Collision

After backing in to a large plant urn in my own driveway and denting the front passenger side fender and door, I researched local collision repair shops in the area online and decided to get estimates from two that had good reviews. My experience getting the estimates follows: * *Caliber's newly-constructed building felt clean and welcoming upon my arrival. The overhang at the entrance makes the place feel like you are driving up to a hotel versus a body repair shop! I also noted a children't separate play area with a small table and chairs in the customer waiting area. A nice touch! Coffee was available complimentary, and a flat- screen television was also in the customer waiting area. Dana was professional, and the estimate came in several hundred dollars lower than the competition whose employee had also verbally stated to me that the final bill "could be higher" once the work began. * *In contrast, Dana at Caliber told me his estimate was "final." I liked that! No surprises! Dana also said he estimated a 2- or 3-day turn-around---the other collision repair company employee had estimated a 5-day turn around repair. Dana stated the repair is "guaranteed for life at any Caliber location." The other collision-repair company employee did not verbally mention any guarantees as a selling point. Dana also told me if I needed a ride home, Caliber could assist me. All of the above made me opt to use Caliber. * *The next morning, I drove my SUV to Caliber, and a friendly employee accompanied me back to my house as I drove my SUV home; then he drove it back to Caliber for the repair to begin. I received emailed updates re the repair. Then I received a phone call that the SUV was ready for pick up. It only took two days, and I had the SUV back by last night. Several employees (including Dana) even stayed until after closing so that my husband could pick me up after he finished work and have me there 15 min after closing. The SUV was repaired to our satisfaction. It had been washed and vacuumed and was cleaner than when I brought it in! I am very happy and will recommend Caliber to friends and family living in this area. Glad to see new competition in this area!*
