Technology Auto Collision

Over Achievers!
Okay, I have to be honest. I was referred to this shop by my insurance carrier. However, after dropping the car off, I read several negative reviews on Unilocal.I panicked! I called the shop to have my car moved to another shop. I have an «A-​type» personality. The smallest imperfections can bother me… forever. I could only imagine the worst case scenario «poor workmanship» and my endless «cycle of regret.»
However, after talking with Rick and manager of the body shop, I felt more at ease. So, I moved forward and trusted them with my Sonata Limited, aka «my baby.»
Two weeks later, I got back a perfect car! I don’t use that word loosely. Not only did they repair the car to better than new condition, they also took extra care to clean the inside, as well. No greasy mechanic marks here. Just Spotless!
I am so glad to have «my baby» back and she is riding fine. We are both delighted!
It just goes to prove, you can’t believe everything that you read. You have to ask the right questions and go with your gut reaction. After my heartfelt conversation with the Technology Auto Collision team, I felt secure in having the work done there.
Best decision ever!

My fiancé got into an accident a few months back and we decided to take it to this body shop even though we read the Unilocal reviews. This location has good customer service but HORRIBLE!!! workmanship. The car was sideswipe on the driver side and ripped off the whole bumper as the other vehicle came in at an angle and it needed to be fixed our Insurance Wawanesa recommended this and another shop in our area. The turnaround time wasn’t so bad but the first time we took it they forgot to do work they had to do, like paint one of the fenders, grill and properly install the shell of the door. We took it back and it took another two weeks. But when we got it back I noticed everything was unaligned and not flush as it should be the hood was off by half an inch higher than the other side the door was unaligned to the fender some of the parts were way off i’m not saying I want my car to look perfect I know it was in an accident but I would at least like for it to look a little bit decent. Not like some hack did the job. But the general manager was nice and give us a rental on our fourth visit to the shop when we had to leave our car once again. DO NOT TAKE IT to this auto repair shop look around and look on Unilocal

Best customer service ever! If you ever need any body work done on your vehicle, this is the place to go!

Came in because it was recommended by wawanesa insurance for some body repair on the front right of my car. Had to replace the bumper and fender. The work was good yet I noticed leaving the shop my dashboard check engine and traction light were on while my cruise control light kept blinking. I had none of these signals on my dashboard on before dropping my car off.
Rick then proceeds telling me it’s most likely no problem and that hel fix it. He runs his scanner through my car and turns the signals off on my dashboard. I leave the lot and 1 minute later they come on. He then tells me he will refer me to an auto technology shop. They came to me and did the same deal with the scanner and once again turned the signals off for an hour before they came back on.
Now I am awaiting another authorization for them to check my car out and this is becoming a pain and this has been going in for over a week now. And I don’t appreciate Rick’s underlying disrespectful tone while feeding me tons of bull saying it can be an assortment of problems. I just want to hear they’ll take care of it as soon as possible. I came here to fix my car not fix one and come out with another.
I do not recommend this place unless you are literally coming in for a no risk body repair like a small dent

We have been going to Technology for years. Always a Great job done right! No cutting corners with them!!! Rick is knowledgeable, he knows how to blend the color, not just do it the cheap and quick way. He makes sure it’s done the way it should be. He makes sure you are totally happy. And we are always amazed at the work we have done for our family cars .And our friends we send to him. Thanks Rick

Disappointed in this place. Got my repairs done here and been having problems ever since. They won’t fix it cus they’re not a real shop. How ironic

This place is awesome! Top notch customer service and impeccable work. I would definitely support again if the need arises. Thanks Rick and Jasmine!

Wonderful! We have used this body shop four times so far… (we have teenaged boys driving!). We have been 100% satisfied with the work done here. Also, their customer service is top notch. Rick goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy! Would not hesitate to return, but hoping we don’t have to. :)

I’m torn. You know, when you receive a great product but mediocre or just straight up lackluster customer service. Well, that’s why I’m totally feeling Natalie Imbruglia.
I came to Technology Auto Collision because progressive told me so (Even against the wishes of my Husband to use Top Finish Collision Center because he had a good experience). I said «No babe, they have a pretty good rep on Unilocal,and besides Progressive is meeting me there for the quote.» For simplicity, I just did what I was told by the insurance (I guess that’s my mistake there).
The girl at the front desk is great, super friendly, offered me chocolate, everything was superb. I originally get a quote for 5 days, turns out, the damage on my car underneath the bumper is far worse than foreseen… cool 7 days is what my estimate got moved too.
NOTE: I had to pay for my car rental out of pocket (because Progressive made a mistake and put a rental on the other, that’s another story). I had a flat rate of 1 week (7 days) which worked out perfectly, the last day, I planned on returning my rental and picking up my fixed up car.
HAHA — WRONG — turns out it was going to take an additional day, something about some screws and terms that are completely beyond my comprehension. So my total days without my sweet 06′ Corolla was 8 days.
That’s fine, so I call to ask the Owner if they can perhaps discount my deductible for the extra day that I’m paying for my car rental — am I wrong for asking this? Apparently to the owner I am. He seemed disinterested on the phone, didn’t care to help (I guess that happens when you have my car in custody, you pretty much have my money). HE DIDN’T CARE, this accident was a hit and run and I was already in a bad situation, plus the scheduling of everything. This guy would be great for over-​the-​seas tech support because his interest in helping me was on par, perhaps worse. I shouldn’t have been re-​quoted several times, I shouldn’t have had to reach out and ask for a discount, he heard the disappointment, the heartbreak in my voice, the «oh sh*t I seriously have to pay my car rental an extra $ 150 because of your incompetence to properly quote my repair”-tone. I was placed in a difficult position with my work, family schedule, all because of improperly set expectations plus the lack of any supportive (to the customer) negotiation.
So all in all, although they did an amazing job on my repair but I’m all about customer service, and my experience left an awful taste in my mouth, I don’t recommend them to anyone. I should have listened to my husband. Always listen to your spouse!

A++ customer service !! I went in for a quote after a flying tire hit my car on the freeway and scuffed up my car and damaged my bumper. I was helped right away and they were amazing they cleaned up my car where the scuffs were and even put some polish on there luckily no scratches were left on the car. But recommended a paint less repair person to help me save money since I was going to pay out of pocket. Good place!

This was a FANTASTIC body shop! ALL of the reviews here are COMPLETELY accurate. My hood was broken so it wouldn’t shut. I came here very last minute and the owner, Chris was SO kind and eager to help. He didn’t overcharge me, and he secured the hood very well. I really appreciate how quickly he fixed it, that the price was reasonable and that he was as kind, accomodating and he was very good about communicating what he needed to do. I would HAPPILY reccomend this place to ANYONE that needs body work. Thank you again so much, you saved the day!

Best experience I ever had an autobody shop Chris went out of his way to find parts for my car and the car is awesome

Great body shop. This shop is a recommended body shop with Wawanesa Insurance. Rick was awesome, easy to get a hold of, and answered all of our questions. Will def be coming back for future repairs.

This hidden gem in the City of Orange is a top-​quality service center for all your auto body repair needs. I was in a minor collision and was referred to this company by Progressive to get my car’s body repaired. Technology Auto Collision helped with the arrangements of my Enterprise car rental and kept me up to date with the status of the repair work being done. Chris, the owner, was the first man I saw when I walked in. He is down to earth, friendly, and gracious. He will take care of you like you’re family. The repair work was outstanding. I fell in love with my car all over again. They thoroughly cleaned my car inside and out as well. I well certainly return for repeat business if the need arises.

Awesome service and repair! They even washed my car and cleaned my interior! Further, they did a warm-​referral (call the place themselves) to a Tire Service store. They truly do business with integrity. And that’s very hard to find. You won’t be disappointed! And thank you so much!

AWFUL! NEVER GO HERE! I had my car in here when it slid into an embankment on the side of the freeway and it took them over a month to get it right! They left paint globs on my car and didn’t replace what needed to be fixed. Had to take it back 3 times before they FINALLY got it right. THEN my mother’s car had to be fixed when she was hit, and they didn’t fix what was in the quote. They were supposed to replace the bumper and they didn’t even touch it! They pained and repaired where the damage was, but didn’t bother to fill in the chips on the hood. They also replaced one of the lights, but obviously didn’t do it right because it was much dimmer than the other one. We ended up having to call insurance and just took the car straight to Mercedes to get it fixed and billed insurance. These guys are RUDE and AWFUL. They will tell you one thing and do another. They just do the bare minimum and cut corners. Have complained to our insurance company, and would NEVER come back.

We had my son’s car towed here right after he was rear-​ended on the freeway. This is the place that my insurance company recommended, but I stopped by ahead of time to speak with the guys here, and that convinced me to bring the car here. Rick was very helpful and went out of his way to provide us with information, and he worked with the insurance company to handle everything. Because the car was so new, the insurance company ended up declaring it totalled. So although Rick never got to do any work on the car, he and everyone else there was totally professional. If you want to be properly taken care of as a customer, I think these guys do a great job. If we ever need work done again, Technology Auto Collision will be where we go. Thanks Rick.

This guys are amazing! My brand new Escape was smashed pretty bad. I was sure the insurance was going to total it. Technology repair it and left it like new. They went out of their way to make sure I was 100% satisfied. Rick knows customer service. I recommend this shop to anyone in need of body work.

I didn’t even have my brand spankin’ new car 1 week when some guy rear ended me after having lunch with my friend one day. I was totally crushed, and my bumper wasn’t too happy either. When Progressive got in touch with me to get my car fixed they found the closest body shop to me that was one of their recommended shops. I was living in Orange at the time and Technology Auto Collision was seriously right around the corner from my house. Progressive called them, and then they called me and set up an appointment to bring it right in after the weekend.
They were so incredibly nice when I brought it in, seeing that I was very upset because this was my new car and I was afraid of it not looking so new anymore. It only took them about 1 ½ days to fix my bumper. They even took me to and from Hertz to get my rental car & drop it off. And my car looked just as good as when I had bought it.
Almost a year later my neighbor’s boyfriend ended up hitting my bumper [gosh my bumper has bad luck]. I called Technology up and they had me bring my car right in to get an estimate. And even though my insurance ended up covering the cost at a different shop, their price was still really low compared to what other estimates were.
These guys know what they’re doing. They’re very helpful, especially when you’re a frazzled girl wondering why people keep hitting her new car. They’re fast and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of their work.
