I have only been in Charlotte for about 3 yrs and haven't had to deal with collision damage on a car for 15 years. So needless to say when I got plowed into by a driver running a red light I had to get some work done. Fortunately I was still able to drive my car and once the insurance adjuster estimated the damages and wrote me a check I was able to get some estimates done. I started by going to Gardner's paint and body because it was pretty close to where I live. Ivey Thornton, the shop manager looked over my car and advised that what was on the insurance estimate would cover all the repairs and if there was any hidden damage . they would get it adjusted with the insurance company. He was very thorough in showing me what would be done to the vehicle and how they use the latest technologies in matching the color and only use the best primers, paint and clear coat products. He really made me feel confident they would do the best job possible so I agreed to let him do the repairs. He arranged to get a rental car there for me and they were pulling the car in the shop before I left. Only 4 days later he called to say the car was ready and I could pick it up. When I got there I was totally amazed with the job they had done. I felt like I was on the Pimp my ride show. I looked like a whole new car not just where the repairs were done. I could really tell they take pride in their work. I would highly recommend Donald Gardner's paint and body for any problems you might have.
