My loss is anyone in a similar situations gain - If you do not have full coverage insurance and you are paying to have your car towed to get an estimate...youll want to pay special attention. Dropped a car off here that was wrecked. They estimated the repair over $8000. Another place quoted me $2200. I had to tow it both places. If youre not familiar with the car game, let me shine a little light on it. Sometimes body shops are known to estimate high hoping youll just leave the car there long enough for them to put a mechanics lean on it. Or you just cant afford the tow fee and youll let them have the car. Im not saying HR did this, they may only use the highest quality parts forged from gold and thats just their estimate. If this review helps one person, HR your estimate was worth it. Expensive Lesson: Tows will cost you $65-$90 depending on the distance. Find three body shops and get $270 ready. Get three estimates. (Im not sure but the body shop might cover the tow...might...) Do this if its a good car and you want to keep it or you cant afford the $6k+ to get a decent used car. Best Lesson: If you cant afford to fix the car and you want fair value when you sell it dont stop reading. Tow the car back home or to a neutral location, put it on craigslist at a low rate around $300-$500. Put on there you have a title and you want it gone. Put your phone number on there (risky yes...but worth it). If there is some value in your car, youll get a flood of requests for your address. There is a whole world of car flippers who want to buy cheap, fix and sell high. Establish a time where you can have 10-20 people looking at your car at the same time. Try to make it all happen in one day weekends/Sunday would be best. Post to Craigslist in the morning. Tell all of the interested buyers to meet at the same location at the same time.Say something like, "Im only able to show the car today at 4pm, bring a trailer, I want it gone today. Ill have the title in hand." You dont have to tell them theres going to be other people. Let them discover that. When everybody shows up, let them check the car out and start the bidding process. When you sell a car make sure you have the title and a (Texas) Form 130-U. Provide those to the buyer. Search online youll find it. Make sure to remove your plates and your toll tag. You can still be held liable for anything done with your car/plates while you are the official owner. Submit a VTR 346 form to let the DMV know you sold the car. The title officially has to be changed for you to be in the clear. The VTR 346 helps. In summary, accidents happen, which lead to estimates, and HR your estimate lead to this review, Thanks HR.

At first I thought the work on our van lift gate was done well. However, almost immediately we started noticing the upper trim spoiler piece (with center brake light) was catching when opening the lift gate. It only happened on warm days as I guess because of heat expansion. First time I took it in they did not see it catching so they said to come in when it is occurring. Second time in they saw the issue and put new tabs on the trim to hold it down better. They thought this might be the problem but it did not fix it. Took it in a 3rd time and was told to come back when the owner was around so he could see it. After this the trim had popped up a bit and must have caught air at highway speed and completely blew off. Was frustrated at this point and waited a few months through summer before taking it back a 4th time. Took it back and right away the stated they were not buying me a new spoiler without even hearing the details of the issue. They would not honor their lifetime warranty and threw every excuse under the sun at why it wasnt their issue. Even claiming an acorn must have dented the top of the roof near the tailgate causing the problem even though the majority of the trim that was catching wasnt even near that location. They are not open on weekends and it was difficult to get my wifes van in their multiple times during the work week. Im fairly certain the whole issue was caused by them attaching my lift gate slightly too high on the hinges. Their lifetime warranty they like to show off is worthless. I would avoid this shop.

THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! I went to H&R Auto Body three years ago on the recommendation of a good friend. I had a large parking lot dent in my passenger door that needed to be pulled and the paint to be blended throughout the side of my car. My insurance wanted to skimp on the repairs but Darryl the owner went to bat for me and helped fight for what was needed. It paid off, the car looked AMAZING! Even today, whenever I look at the side of my car, I try to see if the paint doesnt match anywhere but I still cant see where they painted. What they did was impossible because I have an Ivory-Pearl Infiniti G37 coupe. This color is a very special PPG paint (5-step process) that is impossible to match. I know of other auto body shops that will turn you away if you have this paint because they are too lazy and dont want to guarantee theyre work. Well in the past three years, I have recommended this shop to more than a half-dozen of my friends who all chose H&R and all of them are amazed at the service they received. Thank You Jim & Darryl for taking pride in what you do!!

Amazingly good body shop I had to take my 2010 grabber blue mustang into a body shop to get it repaired after some damage to the rear-passengers side. There was a good crease through my quarter panel and some paint peeled off on my bumper as well. I took it in to them and they said they could get it done well, and work with my insurance. I turned it in, and they kept in contact with me on what they were doing, and some complications that came up. I was very pleased when I recieved it back, and it looked even better than new. The grabber blue color is NOT an easy color to match correctly ( Ive had problems with that before) but they did it spot on, and repainted it perfectly. To top it off, they fully detailed both the outside AND inside which I cannot say for some other shops. The crew there was incredibly friendly and nice to talk to as well. All in all, an amazingly good body shop with good service. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing even the slightest body work done!

Ive had work done here a couple of times, and the level of service was really good. I have trusted them and I usually give them first shot at anything Im planning on getting done. That said, I just called about an older Jeep project I have, and I wanted to get a ballpark on having our fiberglass top finished and painted. The guy on the phone interrupted me and said we dont do paint here. I had to doublecheck to see if I had the right number. He said "we just do body work, no paint". I asked him if he had someone they use for paint, and he said he didnt know, other than some guy in Taylor who he says is booked out for "a couple of years". I really had no response. He said no body shops do paint anymore. What the hell? Im giving them 3 stars from previous experience, but todays call was really disappointing and completely unhelpful.
