Bruce and his team did a great job repairing significant damage to my Impala. It looks better than before the accident! Very smooth process and reliable communication was provided throughout. I would definitely recommend Dowling Ford Collision to anyone needing auto body repair work!
Dowling Ford was thorough, kept me updated with an ever changing estimate, and did excellent work. I was very pleased with the work on my car. Not only were the updates helpful, but I was also helped in getting the right car to rent.
