I rarely ever leave reviews but this shop went above and beyond my expectations. Steve offered to try buffing out scratches and if I wasn't pleased, he wouldn't charge me. It cost only $20 to make my car look brand new. If anything ever happens to my car, I would return in an instant!

WELP, unfortunately I ended up backing into my girlfriend's daughter's new car, so her driver's side front bumper was jacked, as was my passenger side rear bumper. I wanted to get hers repaired right away and took it to Root River for an estimate and right off the bat, Steve was super friendly and made me feel a lot better about the situation. He quoted me a GREAT price for her car, then I drove my car over and got ANOTHER great price quoted for mine. Both cars took about three days to complete, and both of them look like nothing ever happened. Very professional, very courteous, and even gave me

It took almost 3 weeks instead of 5 days that it said on estimat to get my car back and I had to call him to get an update. Over all my car did turn out beautiful! I am very happy with the work done to my car! Car came back clean. I had everything from motor forward replaced except hood and fenders. Everything else bumpers, grill,lights, radiator, frame work and bunch other stuff under the hood. And painting of 2 bumpers, All done beautifully! And considering the hassle of Kia parts etc.... Steve did give us a really great price for all the work done! So we wanted to say ty and we really appreciate

Very pleasant experience at RRABS. First time needing professional auto body repair and we were glad that we gathered more estimates before going forward with the dealership repair. Steve walked us through what needed to be done to keep our car safe on the road, cosmetically correct, timeline, parts and budget (way lower than dealership). He was very helpful in the initial review of our repair needs and when we had questions during the repair process. Thanks to him and all the folks at RRABS for assisting us in getting more sMILES out of our auto. Defiantly going to recommend them to others.

Hands down the most helpful and honest shop around. After getting a quote at another shop for over $2,000, he was able to help us out with a quick adjustment and small repair to get us back on the road quickly and safely. Thank you for being a genuinely helpful shop and caring about your customers. Don’t look anywhere else, use Root River

Whether you are paying out of pocket or using insurance I highly recommend these guys. 50+ years of business means something and they work with you and your situation. Steve gives a fair price...Caliber quoted me +$2000 more then Root River! Steve will also give you a free loaner car.
I had a newer nissan and my parts weren't cheap. He was able to help track the parts down at better prices. Great customer service. The quality of work was excellent. Take your auto body work here. You wont regret it!

Took our car in to repair some rust caused by damage near the windshield. Steve was friendly, affordable, professional and they did an amazing job. The paint job was flawless, they got it done in a timely manner and returned our vehicle clean inside and out. I will recommend them to everyone I know and will bring all my cars here in the future.

I would definitely recommend this body shop for anyone! Steve and his crew did an amazing job with my car. I had been sideswiped by a semi and Steve worked with my insurance company to get me two new doors! I don’t know anyone else who would go out of their way like that!!! Thanks again Root River Auto, I’ll be back !!
