757 - Stock or Modified Body Works (SoM)
Name: JayR Legaspi
Location: Virginia Beach
This is for those in the Hampton Roads (757) area and/or its surrounding counties/cities/towns.
There has been a few threads i saw in the section requesting opinions on body and paint shops around the area, and i just wanted to address that topic.
I picked my car up today and of course im extrememly pleased with it. Just wanted to give a BIG THUMBS up to SoM other wise known as Stock or modified.
I brought in my car which is the Daytona Blue Lexus is300, which some of you have seen, and which some of you may know, on the 14th of June. I Brought them my car in regrads to the damage my car sustained during the REALLY REALLY bad hail/wind/rain storm we had on May 30th 2008. Basically a telephone pole fell down on princess anne road and I had no where to go but forwards becuase it happned so quick. Long story short I needed:
New lip
Front Bumper Repair
New fog Lamp
Engine under Cover lining
Fender Wall lining
Alignment
Wheel balancing
Side Skirt Repair and Repaint
Over all inspection of suspension and undercarraige of vehicle.
All in all it was not super bad but there was a good amount of work for them to do. I left my car with them June 14th 2008, originally the insurance company as well as SoM agreed that it would take about a week or so. But due to some complicationas and limited communication some problems arose. I was in a rental and i was placed onto active duty orders so i was out of town in the middle of no where with limited reception and access to my phone.
While i was away Joey, Owner of SoM, Kept in contact as much as possible and even though he knows me and is one of my friends he did not push me off to the side and use the whole "HES my FRIEND" crap.
While I was away they took the liberty and initiative to talking to the Insurance on my behalf to explain the situation and further needs in regards to my car as well as myself.
What was suppsed to be a 2 week max job ended up becoming a back and forth 4 Week job, which to most people including my self is a serious inconevience. And this Delay mind you was not due to SoM poor service or anything like that. Simply for many of the things that needed to be supplemented, i was required to be legally notified and must agree to those terms. But because i was unavaliable it was nearly impossible to continue with work. But even with that, SoM and I were able to get everything in line, in regards to the Insurance Company,and work on the car continued.
Basically, Stock or Modified has treated me quite well and equally, To this day I have be fully satisfied with their work and have become very loyal, bringing at least 10 jobs to them ranging from accident reapair to simple cosmetic fixes.
No i have dealt with other shops and can say many great things about them as well, but becuase of the situtaion and outcoming of this last experience, Stock or Modified has gained a very Impressed and more then Satisfied Customer.
The staff at SoM, are all friendy, honest, helpful and operate on a high level of integrity and diligence. Most importantly if they cannot help or assist with the issue at hand, they are more than happy to point and assist a customer to a place that can take care of thier needs, even if it may be a Competitor.
Just my thoughts and a small Review.
Thanks to Joey, Mikey, Ricky, and Staff over at SoM.
