Church Brothers Collision Repair

Completely disappointed. I used Church Brothers in Indianapolis for an insurance pay repair on my 2003 Toyota Camry a couple of years ago. To fix a fair amount of damage with insurance pay and after market parts it was $ 2,500 (that insurance paid).
Fast forward to today. I was in a minor front end collision where the bumper was damaged and the hood was bowed but not bent or dinged but little more damage as far as I can tell. The lights were not broken, the engine runs perfectly, no fluids leaking, and no problems that I can discern other than the ugly aesthetic of a crumpled fender and bowed hood. Church Brothers estimated the damage at $ 6,600 (more than the car is worth) with 3 weeks estimated for the repairs. Absurd. When I asked if there was a plan B or option that didn’t require trying to return everything to «new car» status their response was:
«We do not due repairs that are not of good quality or that would in any way not be safe. We also will not perform less than quality work that could tarnish our well-​earned reputation. I understand your plight, however, if we are not able to repair it properly, I would have to say we are not interested.»
In my opinion, there is nothing unsafe about the car in its current status and no noted mechanical issues, as I have driven it for the better part of three days with no problems what-​so-​ever. Aesthetically, needs some corrections/​replacement of front end parts, but nothing wrong in terms of safety, mechanical parts, or engine operation. If the insurance company isn’t footing the bill, I would steer clear of Church Brothers.
I will never use Church Brothers again.

My insurance company referred me to a couple bodyshops in my area but I’m glad I went with church brothers. They took care of everything and were extremely accommodating, Car looked fantastic, and next time Ill know right where to take it
