Fiji ST Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I had my car repaired last year at Rife's in Westerville. They did a good job initially, however the rear fender developed a big spot of rust on the lip where they taped it off and it let moisture in, causing about 4 inches or so of rust. Thankfully I noticed it. Now, they did repair it without any issue, covered a rental and were very apologetic the whole time, but still makes me a little leery of their work. Plus I reviewed my dash cam after the fact and their painter had some not nice things to say about having to fix his screw up. Like Tom said above, it's a crap shoot. Any time I've had to have a car repaired, there has always been an issue(s) after the fact. Just find a shop that you know will stand behind their work.

Miller Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I've had nothing but good experience's with True Performance in Plain City. Had four jobs done by them over the past 4-5 years and each one was solid. That's because bear is a boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) True Performance is a production shop. Just like the other 90% of the shops in Columbus. I am not. I have 13 cars that were dropped for this week. Production shops have 40-50 dropped for the week. Obviously, we're all here to make a living and the faster they go out the faster we get paid. But a production shop (I was trained in one) has one purpose, and that's to turn cars. I put out the best work I can given what is brought to me and what the customer wants to do and pay for. I try to run my shop efficiently. For example, I have a job that could have been completed today if the insurance company would have come out to write the car. The customer dropped today, I already had parts ordered Friday (bumper cover, rebar, absorber) and painted today. Could have installed after lunch and told the customer to pick up at end of the day.

Never saw that coming... :gabe: I had a lady call me today from CSCC asking for some info about referring students to me. We couldn't seem to connect, so I'll try again tomorrow. Is there a student outlet for this kind of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
