My daughter had damage to her car post accident and we were looking to fix it as cheaply as possible due to its age/condition, and the staff at Rich Gravel's looked at it and made adjustments to it to circumvent the issue (leaking from door) without having to replace it without charge. It was our first time using their shop and they couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. Thank you so much!! We know where we'll go for any body work in the future.

I wanted to publicly thank the entire staff for an impressive repair on my wife's Jaguar. The vehicle had a unique paint and the repair and attention to detail was very much appreciated. From the minute that I called until the time (less than 10 days) we picked up our car, everything from rental vehicle to dealing with the insurance company was taken care of. Thanks again to Jim, Jill and the rest of the crew. Dave Stankus

What a top notch shop! I put a dent in my car along with a couple scratches, in ONE day I got a call back saying it was done. It looks like it never happened, amazing work.

They helped resolve my insurance claim and handled everything incredibly professionally. Overall, a stress-free experience and my car looks much better than it did before the accident!

My Truck came out amazing!! Pinstriping, decals, fender flares...everything perfect. Everyone I spoke to was pleasant, informative, and made me smile. I would and will take any of my vehicles there hands down.

Rich and Jill did a wonderful job after I hit a deer with my Mazda6. The repair is flawless and the paint matching was second to none. Not only are they professional they are extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you so much Ric and Jill. LV

I've done business with Gravel's Automotive on 3 or 4 different occasions now and I have to say that their work is just fine, but the "customer service" is absolutely miserable. Let's just say I went there for convenience. There really isn't anyone in the area that does the same line of work.

After being in an accident I had questions regarding what information they needed from insurance company. The office manager, who I think was the owner's wife, talked to me like I was a child. She was rude, condescending and made it seem like I was a bother to her.
