TLDR version of my review:Took my 2019 Ford Expedition Max Platinum to Van Eck Auto Body after I struck a deer in Cadillac, MI on 8/14/2020. Initially it was estimated it would probably be done on 9/4. I got a call on 8/28 that it was done! I did have them make some adjustments as I was super picky, getting it back on 9/1. I found a software glitch with the 360 camera and brought it back on 9/2 for that correction, which was fixed that day. No issues, no hassles, super easy to deal with, friendly, professional, and did phenomenal work! Im pretty particular about my vehicles, and especially so on a vehicle we spent so much money on and had intended to keep for the next decade while our kids are growing up. Anything less than exactly factory quality wasnt going to make me happy. They delivered.More detail for those that want to know more:The vehicle in question had 8,500 miles on it and hitting the deer at 50ish demolished the driver side of the vehicle. Sensors torn, fog light wrecked, head lamp wrecked, fender torn, driver door wouldnt open, cooling shutters falling out the front, radiator leaking, A/C condenser damaged, etc. The end result was 3 full pages of parts and labor! Van Eck got the estimate to our insurance quickly and the repairs got under way almost right away. I figured Id give them a week or so before calling to see if I could come check on progress and bring my kids so they could see the repairs in progress...only to find out that after just 1 week after starting the repairs they were wrapping up and I might have it back the next day! Gary, who is phenomenal, called the next day on Friday 8/28 to come get it. I did discover a fitment snafu with the top edge of the bumper cover that was hard to spot, and I wanted the gap tightened between the fender and the door. The door/fender gap I think was due to the magician working on my car deciding to follow the line of the A-Pillar, when I preferred to focus on the door gap. Just a difference of preference I think. No questions asked, they brought it back in and got to work. Tuesday 9/1 they called to come pick it up. Looked exactly as if nothing had ever happened. The paint is called magnetic and it is a metal flake. Matched perfectly. They blended the door expertly, fender looks perfect, and bumper cover fitment and paint is flawless. Fender & door gap are exactly what I was looking for. Upon pulling into my garage I noticed the front view of the 360 camera was black, but the camera was functioning because the full front view was fine. Brought it back on 9/2 and they worked their wizardry on the camera and now all is well. Had it back same day. It seems exactly as I received it from Ford. Nothing else was going to make me happy; either I would have needed Van Eck Auto Body to deliver that at some point or I was resolved to trade it in on a Lincoln Navigator L Reserve. They delivered, no need to consider trading in. Even though it took a little tweaking to get there, it was a LOT of parts and a lot of little detail work so I cant fault anything or anyone there. They never gave me any push back, just agreed to do whatever it took to make me happy with their work. Top notch. If you are even unfortunate enough to need their services take some solace in the fact Van Eck Auto Body are literally magicians that can make your vehicle right again.Before and after photos of their work included with this post.Big shout out to Gary who worked with me the entire way through this project . Again, he was phenomenal.

The repairs were well done, and completed in one day and at a reasonable price. When the rental car company botched my reservation, they drove me home in the morning and delivered my car to me at the end of the day. Also, they are very nice people.

The Van Eck Auto Body team is amazing! Brought my truck in for rust repair and it looks like new. They communicated every step of the way and had it completed a day ahead of when expected. even the inside was cleaned up amazing! This team understands superior customer service.

My truck required significant repairs and even needed a new frame. They called me multiple times throughout the process to keep me updated and took care of my belongings that I had left in the back end. The staff was very polite and professional and the waiting room was much nicer and cleaner than I expected to see at a body shop. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone looking and will use them again if I ever need work done.

Vaneck is a really great shop to work with. Every time I called there was someone available to help me and they were consistent on following up with me. I have already recommended them to others and would use them again in the future. They were very friendly and personable. They are not the average auto shop that makes you wonder if you are going to be taken advantage of and I feel that they truly advocate for their customers.

Review №18

Everyone here was super friendly and welcoming! When I brought my Jeep in I was devastated that a deer smashed my customized grille into a million pieces. Jeremiah allowed me to pick the one I wanted and had the insurance refund me! He also took the time to fight with the insurance to make sure the parts that were put in were great quality. The assurance I received during the whole process was above and beyond what I expected. They really took care of me here and I will recommend to anyone I know!

I just picked up my SUV and I am so impressed and grateful for the work that was done on it. I needed my bumper and fog light replaced. Van Eck completed the job quickly while also doing an amazing job. Jeremiah was very friendly and professional. I also appreciated how clean the inside and exterior of my suv was at pickup. Thanks so much for going the extra mile!

The repair of my 2015 Corvette was handled in an extremely professional manner. The damage was extensive. Andrew Van Eck, kept me continuously informed of the process, with pictures, emails, and phone calls. This was very important, since I was at our home in New Hampshire, while the car was being repaired in Michigan. I highly recommend Van Eck Auto Body!

I hit a deer on the highway. Van Eck ordered a new front bumper (plus undersheilds the deer tore off), and painted it. They also worked with Muffler Man to rebuild my custom exhaust. Everything looks great! They were very professional and even cleaned my car inside and out, and my exhaust tips! The front bumper paint matches perfectly to the rest of the body just as it was off the factory floor. Gave me new fog light bulbs for free. They were fast and delivered before they said it would be done. Shout out to Jeremiah at Van Eck for his professional service.

Van Eck has been working on my familys vehicles for years. When I nearly totaled my car, they did an awesome job bringing it back to life. They did the same for other vehicles in my family. And now my current car is about to head back to them for its second set of repairs. Always happy with their work, they are always easy to talk to. As always very quick with the turnaround.

Had used them before for a new side mirror with no issues at all. Today called to get a front license plate holder removed. They got me in as soon as I arrived, took them maybe 2 minutes to remove it, and did not charge. Best service I’ve ever had, will be back! Lifetime customer.

Review №50

Terrible experience, progressive sent me here because one of their clients rear-ended me. the agent representing progressive kept trying to claim the accident against my insurance to pay for repairs. only after I filed a complaint with the state of Michigan they agreed to comply. the laggard attempt at fixing it the first time was below the bar at best. the bumper never lined up with the body, there was a spider crack in the clear coat, and certain parts of the body kit were broken. the second go was a participation metal at best as well. Yes, they did fix the clear coat and the body kit issue, but the bumper is still crooked. it is spaced out about a quarter inch at the wheel well but it closes when it meets the tail light. (pictured) In the lobby they have a large TV showing that they fixed a chevy exuinox that had catastrophic front end damage. yet they cannot fix a back bumper that got run into in a parking lot by a distracted high schooler in his moms crossover.(update) Leaving the parking lot after the first repair I noticed that the source had changed on my radio along with the audio settings, more specifically my subwoofers were turned all the way up. I can only assume that the techs decided that they were gonna have a little fun with my stereo on their lunch break. very professional.

Quality work! I have had experience with other body shops in the area and none have compared to the wonderful experience I have had at Van Eck. I am *extremely* picky when it comes to auto body shops after low-quality experiences elsewhere. I cannot say enough good things about Andrew taking care of us, he made everything SO easy! They truly went above and beyond in taking care of our vehicle! I definitely appreciate their attention to detail in all their work. They also completed the repairs earlier than expected.

We utilized the services of VEAB just last week. My wifes car had been hit by a Drunk driver. Needless to say we were not very happy, and all this just before Christmas. My wife is fine and doing well.These folks at Van Eck Auto Body are the kindest, most patient and friendliest people at any body shop, this includes everyone from the reception lobby to the body guys. They clearly explained what was needed to repair our Camry and the exact cost. e quality of their work is amazing and they completed ahead of schedule. It was a very quick turn around. They definitely go above and beyond. A Big Shout out to Jeremiah for his excellent people skills and assistant through this process. We will not go anywhere else, and suggest that everyone give then a try. This is our second big job at this shop. You will not find a better body shop anywhere.

My vehicle must be made of magnets, because other drivers have an affinity for hitting me often... My car has been rear ended, side swiped, and backed into all in the past 14 months. Each time I have gone to Van Eck to have it serviced, and the overall experience they provide is 2nd to none. This family run shop provides exceptional customer service, personalized follow up, and outstanding finished repairs. No matter how small or large the job, you will always get the best. Don, Jamison, and Jeremiah are wonderful. They keep the customer updated and ensure you are happy with the outcome of your vehicle. The shop also provides a guarantee on all of their work. I can assure you that if you need vehicle repairs, you cannot go wrong by heading to Van Eck! I recommend them over and over again!

2nd Review:2nd time in to Van Eck Auto. These folks are the best. A family atmosphere, taking care of you from start to finish, the way people who care about you would. From the time I walked in, Liz was friendly and helpful. Then, Jeremiah assured me he’d take care of everything, and he did! From a rental car to daily updates, he was there. Even when I picked my car back up (a week ahead of schedule despite a busy week), the mechanic (Rick) came out to make sure I was satisfied. Work was perfection. Car looks brand new!Hands down the best place ever to bring your vehicle. I wish every organization ran like this.

Honest, reliable, and excellent customer service. I experienced my first significant vehicle damage after someone hit my car while pulling into a parking space. My insurance agent recommended VanEck and I can see why. They were extremely professional and great to work with. They kept me up-to-date on the status of my car, worked directly with my insurance agent to handle all of the paperwork, and even cleaned my car (inside & out) prior to picking it up. The work was flawless and my vehicle looks brand new. VanEck cares about their customers and takes pride in their work. They go above and beyond and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks!

To Andrew, Jeremiah, Don, Jamison and the rest of the crew at Van Eck Auto Body....I would like to thank-you all very much for the great service you recently gave me when I brought in my “new to me” 2015 Chev 2500HD. This was not a major repair but several smaller items. Even thou it wasn’t a huge project it was still a big deal to me- and I could tell that it was important for you to make sure it was done right, the attention to detail that you gave me was outstanding- even going beyond what I could have ever expected.You guys were fast, very cost efficient and fun to work with.If the need ever arises in the future, i would not hesitate to use your company again, whether it be a large or small project.It is great to see a family owned and operated business be successful!Thanks Again!Matt

Normally when writing a review I try to give positives and negatives to remove any bias but I can honestly say that everything went off without a hitch. Staff was all friendly, car was completed on time and even had my car cleaned before I came to pick it up. I could not recommend Van Eck enough.Side note: Front parking lot is small. When business picks up, it becomes difficult to navigate and park. Very minor but I thought it should be mentioned.

I had damage to my car from an object flown into my car on the highway. Not only does Van Eck work with my insurance they can also serve as an adjuster, which saved a lot of time and calls. They totally handleD the insurance end of it for me. When I picked my car up, everything looked really good....then I got into my car. They took out my weather tech mats and washed them. Front and back. Donyou know how ugly those were this time of year!! That was such an added bonus to see! All my damage was exterior, I never expected them to to go totally abIve and beyond and clean up my interior. Awesome work and very friendly and helpful service. Whenever needed we will be back and we will refer!! Thanks Van Eck!♡

I have delt with vaneck in two instances, once on purpose and once because of an accident. Both times they were amazing, super curious and went aboce and beyond to make me happy. They painted and fixed up my front end like nothing ever happened and then later I brought parts of my truck there to get color matched and again just absolutely amazing. Only thing I was not blown away with was there detailing. Seemed like spray wax and swirls all over.
