The shop did an excellent job for my car body repairs. The staff are very accommodating, special mention to Terry, very awesome for doing above and beyond customer service communicating with my insurance company as well making sure all things are checked in right. He made sure I got an excellent service and care by the company and the shop! Kudos to all the crew. Would gladly recommend this place! Very professional and will take care of their customers like family.

What a great company. Literally the first time Ive had to file a claim to get the car fixed. They made it so simple on me. Kept me informed on what was going to happen. Sent me emails about the vehicle while they were working on it. Then made sure I was happy with it as soon as I picked it up. Got the vehicle done on time even with last minute hiccups.

This is my second experience using Schaefer Autobody and I can not say enough good things about them. They are extremely professional and courteous, and communicate every step of the way. They make everything so easy, and do really, really good work. Will continue using them in the future.

My car got hit and damaged driver side doors. They did a very thorough exam and estimated 3 week repair. Terry kept us updated throughout and they finished 1 week early. Highly recommend their work and Terry was awesome!

Worked with Terry after a deer hit my truck last month. Had some pretty bad dents on the bed and several small dents on the doors. Bought the truck used, so I’ve never seen any part of the truck in “perfect” shape until now. Makes me want to have all of the other minor imperfections taken care of! This is the second time I’ve gone to Schaefer and they have done great work both times!

Working with Schaefer Autobody was an outstanding experience. I hit a deer and was not looking forward to the process. They made it incredibly easy and painless. I especially appreciated the outstanding customer service from Mac. I got daily updates, he was patient, and consistently followed up with my questions. The work was done very timely and quality was fantastic.

I unfortunately had my car backed into in a hit and run and was so upset about it. I just moved to the area and didn’t know if I’d be able to get my car fixed and it look like before but OH MY GOSH. They did just a good job with my car and were really patient and nice. Made sure I knew exactly what was going on with it and the process of it. My car looks better than new! Thank you so much! 10/10 would recommend this place!

After the accident we went to a well known Auto Parts business that helps us keep an older truck running and asked them to review the insurance company’s suggested autobody repair shops. Though not on the list, they sang the praises of Schaefer Autobody. The parts guy had his car repaired by Schaefer and said they were the best in town, so that’s where we went.We are completely satisfied with the care and attention Terry Mitchel and the crew at Schaefer Autobody provided us and our Camry. The insurance company wanted to deal with us, in fact, sent us a check. We were so comfortable with Terry that we asked the insurance company to cancel the check and deal directly with Terry at Schaefer Autobody.Our car looks like new. Terry dealt with all the insurance frustrations. We can’t thank Terry enough, and we whole heartily recommend Schaefer Autobody to you. And, when

Thank you to the General Manager Brett for making sure the process of repairs went flawlessly, the technicians Andrew and James for making my vehicle look better than new and to Chris in paint for doing an absolutely amazing job on paint.

I have used Schaefers 3 times now and they have always been so friendly, helpful, easy to work with and reliable. They are also more than willing to work in all kinds of budgets, with any insurance and with 3rd parties. I say every time I go there that I wish they did more than just autobody repair. They are my first and only stop and I would recommend them to everyone! Do not look any farther, this is an amazing shop!

Review №55

This was my first experience with any type of car repair and this is definitely what I feel like 5 star service should be! Terry went above and beyond to keep me in the loop with everything going on with my vehicle. It started off rocky with the insurance company not wanting to help cover anything and without the help of the Terry and the Mechanic taking extra time out of their busy day to go over every inch of my car with me. I would have just accepted what the claim adjuster told me and went on my way. The way they were able to break down everything to easier terms was very helpful. Anyone who needs any type of repair or guidance on their vehicle please go see the wonderful staff at Schaefer Auto Body!

Review №59

Place seems very nice and although they werent able to help with my problem, they were mostly professional and helpful.The only issue I had was the manager. The manager had a decidedly hostile tone with me from the outset of our phone call. The manager sounds like a big tough guy so I was pretty intimidated. I would recommend some customer service training for the Manager.

My car was hit in a parking lot on a Friday. I took it to Schaefers the following Wednesday to have them work on it. I was back in my car in less than a week, which was less time then they projected. They were very professional and willing to help me every step of the way. My car came back looking fantastic inside and out. I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks guys!

I took my car in for an estimate and never received an estimate number, or even a phone call or email in return. I even called to follow up during office hours and left a message and still have not heard back 4 business days later. I suppose customer service isnt of great importance, but I cannot speak to the quality of work they do.

I can’t say enough good things about Schaefer. My car was broken into and vandalized in St. Louis as I was passing through on a family road trip. Schaefer was responsive, communicative, and went above and beyond to fix my car for me. I never went to the shop but everyone I spoke with by phone was kind and understanding. Thankful my insurance company chose Schaefer for this ordeal!

This was the body shop where geico sends their customer for estimates. Initially has hesitant on getting my Lexus GS450h repaired, but the process ended up being very easy, they contacted car rental company to drop off a new car. I had a significant damage to my rear quarter panel and tail lights, but when i picked it up the car, it looked brand new, paint and body worked were perfectly done. their customer service is also top notch, i dealt exclusively with Jennifer who called me few times a week for an update. would def recommend this body shop.

After striking yet another deer and wanting to find another repair facility as I was becoming dissatisfied with my previous repair facility I opted to give this shop a try. From the moment I walked through the door and meeting Jennifer and Brett I had a very easy going experience. They made me feel like I have been a long time customer. Unfortunately the deer did more damage then the car was worth so it was a total loss. I was not able to see how well their workmanship was but if its anything like their customer service I would have been even happier. Thank you to everyone involved that had anything to do with my claim and car. Your professionalism and compassion has made me a customer (who hopefully never has to use you again lol) for life. Also with my line of work you will be the first recommendation I give. Thank you all again.

1 STAR IS THE LEAST IT ALLOWS TO GIVE ON HERE OR I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN 0 STARS. WORDS THAT DESCRIBE THIS COMPANY INCLUDE, BUT ISNT LIMITED TO: UNPROFESSIONAL, UNETHICAL, SHEISTY BUSINESS PRACTICES, RACISM, LACK OF FOLLOW THROUGH, LACK OF FOLLOW UP, ETC. I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT I THINK IT IS CLEAR THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS ENCOUNTERED ISSUES WITH THIS COMPANY. I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HEED AFTER READING THE REVIEW ON HERE AND YELP, BUT I WAS NAIVE LIKE MANY TO BELIEVE THOSE WERE ISOLATED INCIDENTS...NOT SO. THIS IS A CULTURE IN THIS COMPANY. SURE, THERE MAY BE PEOPLE THAT HAD A DECENT EXPERIENCE, BUT THEY CANT SPEAK FOR THE MASSES. THERE ARE SOME MAJOR LEADERSHIP ISSUES HERE. THIS IS ONE OF THE QUALMS I HAVE WITH FAMILY OWNED BUSINESSES. THE LACK OF INTEGRITY, AND ACCOUNTABILITY IS UNDENIABLE. LYING AND DECEIT IS SECOND NATURE. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS COMPANY FOR ANY TYPE OF WORK TO YOUR VEHICLE, PLEASE RECONSIDER. IF YOU DO HAVE YOUR WORK DONE HERE FOR SOME ODD REASON, ASK FOR YOUR OLD PARTS, YOUR INVOICES, ASK TO SEE THE AFTERMARKET AND OEM QUOTES, SAVE YOUR INITIAL QUOTE, AND COMPARE THEM WITH YOUR FINAL PAPERWORK, ASK MANY QUESTIONS, AND RESEARCH INDEPENDENTLY BEFORE RESOLVING THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOU. IN CONCLUSION, I SUGGEST YOU GO ELSEWHERE, BUT IF YOU INSIST...BUYER BEWARE. BLESSINGS TO YOU.

Review №95

WORST PLACE EVER!!! My mother takes her car in to get an insurance estimate done. They disassemble the damaged areas and submit their estimate to the insurance company. Of course the estimate is way to high so the insurance deems the vehicle totaled. The hood is bent in the corner (easy repair) they put it on as to be replaced for $675. The windshield reservoir has a red circle on it indicating damage. (its full and not leaking, not even a scratch on it) for $62. and there is more. things that can be repaired that they just threw on to be replaced. No wonder the insurance totaled the vehicle. So my mom was going to let the car go but I talk her into keeping it. So the car had been moved from Schaefers to Copart. I went to Copart and picked up the vehicle. I checked everything out and seen ALL nuts and bolts gone and one major piece gone as well. The upper tie bar (radiator support). so I called Schaefers and spoke with the manager Bret. he told me he would take a look around and call me back....5 days later no call back. so I call again...got voicemail and left a message...3 hours go by and no call back...so I call again...receptionist says she will give him the message...20 30 minutes later I get a call from Bret. He wasnt able to find the part...I asked him what he was going to do about and he said nothing and that the car isnt their responsibility once it leaves their shop (For one I am not talking about who is responsible for the car. I am talking about a part they misplaced, lost, stole, took for their own vehicle, sold for personal gain, thought it was going to be a scraped vehicle so one of their employees took it for themselves ..I dont know and I dont CARE)...anyways I tell him they lost it they need to replace it, he then tells me I cant prove anything..LMAO...I am pretty pissed now...but I try and keep my cool explaining that I have pictures showing the vehicle on their lot with out the part on it. I have pictures from copart (they take pictures when vehicles come in and leave) showing the part not on or in the vehicle. he says well it was damaged anyways and needed to be replaced. I told him I didnt care I wanted the part from the vehicle or a new one..he again stated they are not responsible for it because I cant prove anything. he offered to call his supervisor and I agreed. Hours later and I still havent heard back..I doubt I will hear anything seeing as how these guys operate. the funny thing is he tells me I cant prove anything and he wants me to believe him when he tells me the part was damaged and needed to be replaced..PROVE IT..how do I know the part was damaged..I have never seen the part YOU cant even find the part..Hopefully his supervisor has more sense than him..I will be calling again if not going there in person..... I mean who does that..takes your vehicle apart gives it back missing stuff and then basically tells you to go fly a kite...I hope this is a warning to all of you out there. Cross your fingers for me because this is far from over!!! Now where did I put my lawyers number???
