David Becker is amazing 🤩 someone hit my car in a parking lot and I self paid. He kept me updated during the entire process.. there are no surprise bills when you pick up your car. Highly recommend. We can no longer tell that the car was damaged.

I’ve had C.D.E. work on one of my cars a few times this year and the experience has always been great. David has been easy to work with and he has kept me updated regularly. Pricing is reasonable and the quality of the work is excellent.

Went in for an estimate. staff was very friendly and respectful and they were quick to look over my car and get back to me. I did not end up getting my car fixed here because the price I was quoted was about twice as high as two other local body shops.

We thank you for giving us the opportunity to repair your vehicle. We strive to give our customers the most accurate estimates so they can make the best decision on whether to pay for the repairs out of pocket or go through insurance. Due to all the safety features on the newer vehicles, there are certain operations we need to perform to make sure those safety features work properly when you get your vehicle back. We hope whoever repairs your vehicle, makes that a high priority.
