Meh, pocket change.
At least that`s what Broadway Body and Paint seemed to think when they double-billed me almost $3,300 -- and then wouldn`t take the time to look into their books to find and fix their error.
At least I HOPE it was an error...
Funny, though -- they charged me the $3,300 even AFTER they had already cashed an insurance check for the full payment for the s... view moreame repairs.
As my 6-year-old daughter would say: ""What thah...?""
Anyway, I discovered the error a month later when I called the insurance company, and they said the claim had long been paid. I figured Broadway Body and Paint would fix the error immediately, and, I dunno, maybe apologize?
Instead, they insisted that I call my bank and the insurance company and get check numbers and dates before they would issue a refund. (Hey, it`s a good thing it`s so much fun to talk to bankers and insurers!)
When I told Broadway Body and Paint that I`m a busy single parent and didn`t have time for this type of research, they insisted that it would be harder for them to look into their OWN accounting and find their error. I had to prove it myself.
Again, hmmm... Would they take the time to notice if *I* had been the one who came out $3,300 ahead? I`m thinking probably. But they didn`t seem to think my $3,300 was worth a little research on their part. Wow!
Given no other choice, I did the research (argh) and called them back with the information they said they needed. Since it was their error I was fixing, I also said that I`d appreciate a little token of thanks for my time -- a tank of gas, perhaps, or a few car washes. My time is worth a lot more than that -- and what`s $20 when you have just almost taken $3,300?
But instead of a token ""sorry,"" they mailed me a check with no goodies, and not a single word of apology.
Maybe I`m old-school, but if I double-billed someone $3,300, I`d be on my knees asking for their continued business.
But I guess if you`re Broadway Body and paint, you don`t need it.
[NOTE: The reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is that, while the customer billing service I got sucked, the initial customer service was good, and the repair was actually well done. ... Just not TWICE as well done.]
I had a desperate need for AUTOBODY repair for the first time ever and didn?t know where to begin. When I need computer repairs I RESEARCH which includes reading REVIEWS, asking geeks, PHONE interviewing lots of people/shops/services. I?ve probably phone interviewed, meet or utilized every Google listings for computer/repair/portland/oregon twice. But, for car stuff I?m completely out of my depth.
I didn?t... view more trust what I was reading so I called an experienced auto parts guy I respect and trust, my mechanic and a local brake shop I know has integrity --- ODDLY, without any prompting, they recommended Broadway Body & Paint [BB&P]. It absolutely got my attention because these men didn?t know each other, didn?t work in the same part of Portland and had no incentive to recommend them. I still did my usual ?phone interviewing? several places. Finally, I called BB&P and did the best interviewing I could. Quickly I became convinced Broadway Body & Paint had the integrity and ability to do the best repairs possible.
These guys were a breath of fresh air compared to some others posing as specialist. Great communication, smart, talented, quick turnaround, reasonable and highly capable. This business has all the experience, pride and track record anyone wants when they are paying so much and expecting much in return. So relax - they are the best choice I found hands down and the results were far better than I would have expected. My car looks better than it did even before the accident happened!
Happy To Help and Eager To Learn
