I stopped in today to get an estimate on a couple of old age issues with my car. Dave the estimater helped with the issues and it worked out for me. I would highly recommend them.

Russ’ did a great job getting our 1 year old car fixed up after an accident….Like it never even happened! Dave and Donnalynn answered every question, handled the insurance back and forth and kept us up to date the entire time the car was there!

This place is awesome! They did excellant work! I would recommend them to everyone! The pricing is so much lower than dealerships where the employees behind the service desk get paid more if you agree to more work. I would never go to a delaership again. Here, at Russ's Collision they were honest and more than fair and friendly to deal with.

If you ever need autobody work done, I found an awesome place. I can't remember the last time I had such good customer service. My encounter was with Jeff and not only does he know his stuff, but he truly went out of his way to help me. I plan to take all my auto body business to Russ's.

I had a great experience with Russ's. They made a stressful situation so much better. They went the extra mile to get my car back to me in a timely fashion. Everyone was kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I would go back to them with a car repair in a heartbeat, hoping I won't ever have to.

Donna-Lynn, the 2 Jeffs, and the rest of the crew gave my poor wounded 2017 Prius Prime a new lease on life. The evil dealer who originally delivered my new car years ago damaged the paint job, did a shoddy repair and I didn't know until it was too late. After my partner mushed the front of the car it was time for a serious facelift. This repair came right out of my pocket, meaning no insurance coverage, and Jeff S. quoted me a price I could live with. He reused anything he could and explained things clearly. The majority of the bill was labor and let me tell you, the car looks like it was labored over with great care. I am happy to give the highest recommendation to this fine local business.

The guys did quite a bit of work on my car after I got slammed from behind. They were personable, thorough and very clear with communication! Donna-Lynn had my car back to me ASAP!

We recently had some work done on our car by Russ's Collision, They are great guys to deal with, they handle the insurance company and they know cars. The repairs were done as promised and they updated us as they went about the repairs. We would recommend this facility to anyone needing good honest workmanship by guys who know their business.

I had a wonderful experience with Russ's Automotive (located in the Last Chance Garage) over the weekend. Thursday I hit a tree after sliding on ice/snow. Russ's two owners Jeff & Jeff, were highly recommended to me. I brought the car all the way from Tolland to Granby and I am very glad I did. My car was fixed by Tuesday (5 days) even though the damage was quite extensive. The best part is that the guys were kind enough to paint the parts to match my car without charging me more. Extremely kind and the work was very well done. I am so pleased with my experience and it made being in my first accident a little less stressful. I hope I don't need any more body work done, but if I do they will always be my go too!

Russ is great. I am ashemed to admit that he has done body work to many of our cars. The price is always reasonable, and the job is always done right. Car always looks new.
