They got an F rating from Better… They got an F rating from Better Business Bureau. The owner is completely a joke. He’s such a liar by the way if you research his name, leave Hanson, he used to be in jail. He was incarcerated for theft, auto theft. He’s a ConMan.

Kindness "Kindness, compassion, and positivity are very important traits in life. It is far easier to say nothing than it is to speak words of kindness. It is easier to judge quickly than to take time to understand. It is often easier to see a glass half-empty than half full," God bless this business Leif's helped me with our CLS 550 Super duper local company!!!

Complete opposite from commercial or ad Much of what I’ll be writing in regards to my experience is a common repeating theme with Leif’s Auto Collision Center, on this and on other review sites. I wished I read those reviews prior to taking our car to this place. I’m hoping by sharing my experience less people will have to go through similar nightmare. This is a very condensed version. 3rd time in a span of 18 years that I took our car to Leif’s. The experience and repair result were excellent the first time, then good on the second time and now it just plain horrid. Our car was at their shop for 7 weeks for a no-fault minor accident (backed into while parked) and it ended up looking worse than before the repair. The color on the front bumper is way off (because no tinting was done), separation line between unpainted and painted part is uneven and jagged in some areas, there are also visible overspray on non-painted parts. Communication was lacking unlike what’s stated on their commercial and when it happened, they are mostly vague and accompanied with rudeness. They ignored my repeated requests for tint and keep on pushing what they want to do (blend) instead. (Tint is adjusting the paint mixture to get to a closer match with the existing paint while blending is overlapping new paint onto adjacent panels so the gradual color change will to trick the eyes from seeing the difference between the new and existing paint). My guess blend is a more cost effective and requires less effort. Ben Trujillo spent a lot of time trying to convince me that blend is the only way to go. At one time he sent pages taken from a couple of documents that supposedly would provide solid reasoning to do blend but one of article actually states that blend should not be a consideration for the white paint (which is the color of our car) while the other one states that tint is also needed for better blend result. When I pointed this out, he told me that I read the wrong section, but there is no other section on the pages that he sent me. He never sends the correct section or talked about it anymore afterward though. Leif’s constantly projecting themselves onto Insurance companies. They incessantly claim that insurance is trying to cheap out and blame insurance for their shoddy work. They also show a weird obsession of wanting to punish insurance by making them to pay for re-repair. This is displayed on their commercial as well as what their employees say. They will manipulate you to fight with the insurance (which I fell for and did for over a month). When I rejected the repair on my car the first time Ben told me that the repair is the way it is because that is what was paid by the insurance. I was not aware that they have different levels for pre-loss repair. From my experience they don’t do any of the fighting or stand up to insurance company, I did all of the fighting being constantly misled by them. They require debit card or cash payment from you, credit card is accepted with 2% charge and won’t take check from insurance company. Which means you will have to get the insurance to pay you and you to pay them. Nothing in their ads is really what they stand for. Holding the insurance accountable, fixing your car right the first time, fighting for you and pre-loss repair are just empty buzz words to lure you in.

Had a very good experience at Leif's Had a very good experience at Leif's. Fixed my Toyota Tundra after a pretty bad side impact accident.

Do yourself a favor, and stay away! Please, do not take your car to laifs, they don’t deserve your business. First, let’s start out with the fact that they charge you $100 a day to “store your car” whether or not they repair it. They took three weeks to get my insurance company their estimate of the work, my belief is that they saw my car was a total loss and decided to milk the insurance for all they could get on the storage fee. When I challenge them on this at the end, I was told to get a lawyer. They’re very friendly when you drop your car off and try to give you confidence that they’re going to do a great job, but as soon as I was turned over to the “customer service rep“ Lea, she was nothing but hostile, combative, arrogant, and she never returned my calls and only return emails when I pestered her for answers. The only time I finally talk to her on the phone is when Geico declared my car a total loss and she wanted me to come clean it out so they could get rid of the car. Their advertising is completely false, there is no transparency. They are all for making as much money as they can. Having a car accident is stressful and getting your car repaired is even more so, these guys only make it worse. Please learn from my mistake!
