I was on a car trip from California and had an accident in Erie, PA. Bates Collision, David and his crew, took care of my car and did a wonderful repair job. They went through every detail of the repair job and double checked everything one more time, before they let me drive off the lot and start the long drive home to Los Angeles, David called me a few days later to make sure I had arrived safe and sound. Customer care at its very best!!

Very professional, fantastic customer service and speedy repair time!A minor fender-bender required some bodywork to my husbands truck. We thought he would be stuck driving a rental car for 2 weeks but Bates was so fast, he had his truck back in 1 week. The work was beautifully done and the truck looks good as new!

The professionalism and kindness expressed by John and Dave both times I had to go to Bates were exceptional. They got the job done in a timely manner, kept me updated, and were always honest with me. I appreciated the fact that they were always willing to work with me to my benefit. They aren’t like other businesses that try to get you to pay a ton of money for all these extra things, they try to save you money any way they can, and help you out the best they know how. Thank you guys for everything!

The Bates Collision crew are always courteous, friendly and professional. I was kept informed as to the progress of the repair and called if they needed to speak to me. I would recommend Bates Collision, without hesitation, to anyone needing repairs.

I felt they were going to do a great job from the first meeting. Got lost and then I turned on google and was there in less than 6 min but the experience in all was very good. My car was done professionally, I had a rental during my car being fixed. I hit the worlds largest racoon on a dark street and messed up my front end. Bates did a great job from handling insurance issues to handing me the keys to my car.Thank you Bates coll I would recommend their services highly

Used Bates Collision twice in the past few months and everything from customer service to the actual repair work was exceptional. Joe is wonderful to work with and he does a great job of explaining keeping the customer informed throughout the process. There was an extremely minor issue after the first repair and it was immediately and more than satisfactorily remedied. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

I recently had body work completed on my vehicle at Bates after a minor fender bender. The staff was very professional and informative.

Having used a number of collision repair shops in the area, I have to say the work, service, and value at Bates are unbeatable. The staff is professional, and friendly. This is another business that is the epitome of customer service. The work is scheduled and delivered on time. You get updates as the work progresses, and personal contact is delightful. Highly recommended!

Bate Collision worked on my Ford Fusion after an accident and it looks and runs like its brand new! Tracy and Bill, who I worked with, were extremely kind and professional as they helped me through the process with my insurance company as well as updating me as to how things were progressing. I would definitely highly recommend them and if needed in the future I will be going back to them :)Marisa Carpenter

Review №43

From beginning to end every effort was made to exceed my expectations. Communication is key and I never was left wondering what was going on or where they were in the process of repairing my car. When it was done they also washed, waxed, detailed the interior and dressed my tires. I felt like I was rolling out of the showroom with a new car. I cant think of anything more they could have done. I hope this way of doing things never wears off.

The customer service was superb!The employees there are polite,patient & courteous. My car was done in 1 day,excellent work.They cleaned up the front interior of my car a bit put some air freshener in it.I had a San Francisco 49ner license plate on bumper they replaced that was damaged in accident. They took the time to put it in a ziploc bad with the screws & left it on passenger seat for me!!! I would definitely recommend this business & will use them again if I need body work done.

I’ve taken my cars to Bates Collision for years, and every time they’ve done an extraordinarily good job of making my vehicles look brand-new! There’s never any trace of the mishap that necessitated their services, plus they clean the car inside and out. I highly recommend Bates Collision. It’s never a happy thing that takes me there, but I’m ALWAYS happy when I leave!

Review №78

First, I will say that I was very happy with availability of their team, always easy to reach and pleasant, and seemed to fight for a full repair with the insurance company on questionable parts. I also was happy that when I got my car back they had detailed the interior and exterior of it. Now the downsides... Was kind of caught in the middle of the insurance company and Bates a lot. I dont know if this is very normal or not, but the whole time (a month) that my car was being fixed both were telling me that the other was lying. Second, when I got my car back there was a run in the paint. It was a small run but it was still a run, and Bates is supposedly a A+ body shop... to me runs are unacceptable. When I called about it I was told that the bumper cover had been painted before... really they seemed unconcerned. My car is a BMW that I washed and waxed by hand multiple times, I know there was no previous run there. The repair totaled $9,500... I would have expected them to ask me to come right in to get it repainted. Last, even though I appreciated the car detailing... when they did it they took everything in my car and dumped it in the glove box... including a $300 pair of sunglasses (which were resting on a metal object) and a pile of business cards... just seemed weird to do that.All in all, I think theyre a good body shop, but if I have to take it into a shop again Im going to go to Bonnells.

These guys did a huge job for me last month. My vehicle was hit by a deer on its side and required $15,000 worth of work. Now I acknowledge they did 90% of the work great but Im going to go over the negatives here as its a bit shady and I wouldnt have know if there wasnt a recall on a part of my vehicle. So these guys were supposed to replace both driver side doors, which they did. However there was a recall on my latches and I just brought it in for that. The dealer called me, not knowing the truck was worked on, and told me that it looked like someone had done work on my doors and replaced a few broken brackets to hold the latch assembly in place and it was unsafe for them to reinstall that after doing their work. So they ordered the new part and put it under the recall so I wasnt paying. So Bates put broken parts back into my doors, cool. Then I had taken the truck down to Florida for a week and all was well with a small exception, there was a loud suction sound coming from the engine bay but I wasnt having any loss of power so I let it go. Once back here I took it in and the dealership found a thick packet detailing the work done to my truck was shoved down in the engine bay (there was supposed to be 0 work done to the engine as this was 100% side damage only). Then they began looking for the auction sound and discovered that the inlet for the air intake was broken in the middle and was sagging into itself as well as all of the plastic anchors were missing from the area. Now my insurance company paid $15,000 to these guys and Im greatful that the vast majority of the work was done correctly. However Im very disappointed in the corners cut in a way it was likely believed Id never find out about. Thats shady business practice and Ive alerted my insurance company, friends, family, and coworkers to this. I dont think theyre a bad shop by any means but this is the stuff that should be brought to everyones attention so the responsible party can be identified and corrected.

My insurance company set up an appointment with them. I called to confirm, they told me my appointment is there but they already have someone booked at that time. How about you remove the appointment availability spot so this doesnt happen. Its a huge inconvenience. Especially since there was nothing available for the entire day.

While traveling to Chicago another vehicle ran into us and our car wasnt drivable. Not being from the area I looked online at reviews from carwise and google while my husband was on the phone with the insurance company. After talking with them and looking online we decide to use Bates Collision. Right out of the gate they were extremely help full. The staff walked us thru what would happen through out our claims process and repairs. When we got our Honda back we couldnt believe how great it looked. Everything looked like nothing ever happened.
