In the spring of 1948, I. C. Allen Jr. opened a small service station on the corner of Eighth Street and Phoenix, in Jacksonville, Florida. After two years of successful retail sales, a body and fender shop was added to the original business operation, under the name of "Allen Brothers". As another 19 years of success passed, the companies sought bigger horizons and branched out further into fuel transport, tank repair and bulk maintenance.

A. Overall painting is normally a good choice for restoring the surface of older vehicles. Older vehicles usually undergo significant depreciation. Complete repainting can increase its value. Spot painting protects the value of newer vehicles. A. Rising insurance costs force more and more people to pay for minor accident repairs.

First off , my vehicle was towed even though the tow order was canceled. When I was told by the police that Universal towed it, I called and asked and they said they had no record of my vehicle being there. I had to call back multiple times to get them to acknowledge it was there. THEN when I went to pick it up they STILL had no idea where it was.
It didn't help that the front desk person was, frankly, surly and adversarial.
All in all, would NOT recommend.

Be aware on this company a car on my name was towed and they waited until the bill was almost 600,oo to sent me the certificate letter.
I call them and a very RUDE woman tell me about, tatata, then when I was to pick up the van, I think it was the owner that tell me that I will be able to sell it in 1,000. Sad, I can not even sell it in $600.
My mistake I trust people and I really wanted to leave that place than I did not take the time to check the van, which is now a trash, nobody wanted even me, I will need to spend thousands to make decent .
I guess they were laughing a lot because of me

I have used this company for several repairs. They always go above and beyond. It seems people get their name confused with another company in town with similar name but not the same results. If you have a car that needs body repair I wouldn't go anywhere else. They have fixed several family members vehicles and all have been great experiences and results.

Absolutely worst customer service I've ever seen. They basically steal from you ... you find out after they send out a certified letter that you never got????
I am going to talk to my lawyer after this ridiculous charge.
