Mike’s Auto Body Collision & Restorations Inc

My vehicle was rear ended about two months ago. I contacted my insurance company to report a claim. They recommended I use Mike’s Auto. I had my vehicle towed there that same night.
I went the next day to get several belongings out of my vehicle. I spoke with Mike (owner) and asked him if my vehicle was totaled. (It was pretty close to being totaled). He laughed and said it was no where near being totaled, and it was only about 5,000 worth of damage.
I used to work at a car dealership, I know how a body shop works. They don’t want it to be totaled, no money in their pocket.
I immediately called Bill’s Auto Body and had my vehicle removed from Mike’s and towed to Bill’s. They did an estimate for 10,545.43. And it only needed to be 11,500 to be totaled. So YES, it was in fact very close to being totaled.
I wouldn’t waste your time with them.

As long as I’ve lived in Thurmont and I never realized that they specialize in corvette restoration. I dropped my 79 off for some mechanical work. Mike greeted me first thing in the morning and I felt welcome immediately. Professional and very clean atmosphere. Work was performed perfectly. Being in the auto business myself I can definitely say this is a top notch business!

So far this has been great service which was very much needed on a crappy day when I hit a deer. The front desk person had a big smile and explained the process. The guy giving estimate was very friendly and very helpful I taking about how my car would be fixed. Two thumbs up!

Owner called to apologize and to get my side of the story.
I give them credit for calling.

Big thumb’s up for Craig, who was manning the MAB tow truck late one Saturday night this past month. I was driving a borrowed hybrid Hyundai Sonata which — while smart enough to sense when the driver was present, or not — didn’t have the smarts to shut down when I left the lights on in the car. 10 hours latter, dead battery. Craig came to my hotel near Gettysburg PA quickly, via Hyundai’s owner program, and was calm (ing) and thorough in diagnosing the problem, talking me through the peculiarities of hybrid’s occasional electric problems, and recharging the battery, and getting me going within an hour.
