I did not actually get my car worked on here even though I would definitely go there if I needed to. I had gotten some chemical on my hand in the back of the bottle said that I needed some sort of a mechanics soap to get it off.

I did not actually get my car worked on here even though I would definitely go there if I needed to. I had gotten some chemical on my hand in the back of the bottle said that I needed some sort of a mechanics soap to get it off. Obviously this is something I would only ever use once and I figured an auto body shop would probably have something of that would work. The staff is extremely helpful extremely nice and did not make me feel ridiculous for my somewhat ridiculous request. Also the environment in the atmosphere seemed very professional and inviting.

When things don’t go to plan and I need a body shop, I know where I will take my vehicles going forward. Don’s is up front with what to expect, when and how they will communicate progress, they follow through with that communication and my vehicle was completed on-time.

The front office ladies were very friendly. The body work repair was excellent. Our car was detail cleaned and the interior smelled like a new car. We will definitely refer others to Don's Auto Body.
