Brown Collision's Reviews:
I hit a deer in December and just picked my car up today, 4 months later. Every time they gave me an estimated time of completion, they would find something else wrong and have to order more parts. Once they finally got all the parts in, they found imperfections in their paint work and delayed things almost another week. They didn't give me the car back until it was good to go, which is great, and is the only reason they got three stars. Most of my phone calls to check on the status went to voicemail and were not returned, until we were down to the last few days.

My experience was extremely positive when interacting with Browns Collision Center. The representatives were very pleasant and helpful. My SUV had to have the bumper replaced and they worked with my insurance company to accomplish this goal. When I went to pick up my vehicle I was so impressed because it looked brand new. I also noticed they fixed three scratches on the passenger side door for me. The only drawback was when I opened the back of the SUV there was a gray powdery substance covering my carpet. I will need to take it in to get it professionally cleaned. I highly recommend Browns Collision Center if you ever need bodywork on your vehicle.

Kind and Helpful People! Jim Blake (repair technician, supervisor?) and Megan (front desk) saved me! I was visiting Charlottesville in November 2021, my old hometown, had a front bumper mishap and needed to have my front fender reattached before driving back to NC the next morning. Stressful situation...Megan went out of her way to make sure Jim Blake could help me, even though they were slammed busy that Saturday. Jim reattached my bumper very thoroughly with screws, so I could safely drive home the next morning. He wouldn't accept payment and was just really nice to deal with. Jim and Megan's talent and generosity resolved a difficult situation for me. So grateful to Megan and Jim, and Brown's, thank you!

My insurance company choose Browns Collision and I wished that I never worked with them. First of it took 2 months to get my car back! When I got my car back I realized that my car alarm wasn't connected. I called them and was told to reach Amanda. Well apparently reaching Amanda wasn't as easy as it should be. I left 3 messages for her to call with and never did she return my calls. FINALLY I reached her 2 weeks later. She didn't have an answer for my why my alarm isn't working. Amanda's advice was to pass the buck and call my insurance company. She wanted me to get my insurance involved and take my car to BMW. for something that Brown's Collision caused?? In my opinion Amanda, Brown's automotive is responsible.. Terrible customer service on your part! You didn't even take the time to ask a professional that actually worked on the car. You just kept saying that there was no reason why the alarm should have been disconnected. You said that the alarm is connected in the front and the part you worked on was in the back so no one should have disconnected the alarm... Amanda, the way alarms work doesn't have to do with where the alarm is attached. Alarms work wherever the car is bumped throughout the entire vehicle. Get a second opinion from you colleagues Amanda when you don't understand how things work in a car!

I hit a deer and Brown Collision Center was able to get my vehicle in and start repairs very quickly. They got my vehicle back to me when they told me it would be done and it looks fantastic. I will be returning for all my autobody needs.

Update: Called again, same story about not having any idea what the status on my car is or when it might be ready just the same excuses. When I tried to get more answers, Megan said she was just a receptionist and was not able to do more and hung up on me. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RUDE UNCARING COMPANY. Worst customer service in town and rude employees. Have been waiting on my car for two weeks. Was told this morning they have no idea what the status on my car is and no way to get a update. Promised to call me back today with a update. Called at 5 after not hearing anything and was told the same thing. When I said that was what I was told this morning, The lady said she would just hang up if I did not want to hear her excuse of reduced staff. No excuse for not being able to give a customer a status update on their car. If I ever get my car back, I will not be using Brown again.
