Positive: Fantastic body work and trusted by local dealerships.

Negative: Poor customer service, failed to deliver on promises, and damaged vehicle.

Mixed Experiences at Manpower Collision and 1 Important Specialist

Disappointing Experience

One customer, David Dinkha, had a terrible experience with Manpower Collision and 1 Important Specialist. He claimed that the companies, operated by the same person, Tim, failed to deliver on their promises, ignoring his concerns and leaving his 2000 Honda S2000 exposed to the elements for two years, damaging the pristine wrap job worth $2700. Despite multiple promises to have the car ready, it was still not mechanically complete when he finally picked it up in June 2020.

Positive Experience

On the other hand, Rob K. had a fantastic experience with the body work done by Manpower Collision. He praised their work, stating that local dealerships contract out to them when they need work done.
