Honesty, integrity, quality work. Process was very smooth. Not sure if I spoke with the owner, but my quote was quick and the price was fair. I brought my truck in on the day he said he could work on it and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Highly recommended.

***Please do not go to this place.*** These people will literately take your money . DO NOT GIVE ANY DEPOSITS unless you want to lose your money. They ordered a part for me that took over two months. When they called me on October 19th to tell me they had it, i told them i would be going to pick it up later. They told me I had to pick it up in 30 days otherwise they will return it and charge me $200 for restocking fee, I told them i was going to pick it up. before that. I went today November 3rd (15 days later) They told me they returned the part and they had to charge me $200 because that's how

Very quick on a quote. Nice people. Reasonable price. 10 star quality work. Honest work for a fair price. No hassle no twisting. Pulled up, lady came out looked at the damage, shot out a price. Explained why the high price(Subaru white pearl is a pain to match) circled all existing damage(which I like a lot). Took pictures of whole vehicle. Have an estimated repair time. Filled out paperwork.
All in all I was in and out within 15 minutes for drop off.
Pickup was even faster. Under 5 minutes. Just call ahead.
Will use again if I need any body work/dent repair

Great people, Great customer service. Jonathan was extremely helpful in getting my car fix from an accident that happened in November. He was very knowledgeable about how the insurance payment should be paid out to who first. All I will say is Thunder Auto body is the place to go if you need work done or if you are doing an insurance claim.. My experience was at an 110% Professional 👍👍👍

Awesome place.

I had a minor job - I'd gotten an OEM hood ornament for my cadillac DTS and was a bit apprehensive about installing it myself. Seemed like no one wanted to be bothered with such a small job, but when I sent an email, Jonathan was very quick to get back to me, and let me know that they could help me, no problem.

I showed up later that day and he took a look at the car, letting me know it was about an hour long job. When I offered to reschedule for the next week, he simply said to just drop by Saturday morning. I came by that Saturday, and the guys installed the ornament very

I am so happy I found this shop! As a female, it is very difficult to trust auto shops but this place is very professional. Jonathan was so professional and courteous - straight to the point. My car needed bodywork so I brought in my car for an estimate and the price was fantastic. I got a good vibe from them. They also repaired my car very quickly, it took them one day after the parts came in. I didn't expect that. Thank you so much, I will never go to another shop again if I need bodywork.

Love the job they did on my car. They had to fix my rear door and bumper. They matched the original paint perfectly. Since the first moment Cathy was very kind and helpful. She contacted the insurance and arranged everything in order to fix my car. She promised to have the car ready on a specific day and she did. Very professional work.

Bought a Ford Escape from here. Very good experience. Tyler was very accommodating staying late finishing the deal and working around my schedule.
Could have taken a little longer going over sync3 features, found out the hard way that sync changed, but I needed a new car anyway.
