Where to start. I have been a customer (unfortunately) at KK for 10+ years. The first thing I did once I found out my vehicle needed to go into A body shop was call and ask if Smiley was still employed. I was told he is enjoying retirement! However, the rest of the staff is all the same. Same great service, and results. I took them for their word. They advertise that they take the paperwork out of the equation so the customer is less stressed. Not the case. I had an appointment scheduled to take my vehicle in, my insurance is the one the made the appointment to have the vehicle dropped off. My appointment day arrived and I showed up and none of the ladies in the office had a clue as to why I was there. Then they proceeded to tell me that no insurance company has called and that they were sorry that my insurance company lied to me. You should have seen the ladies face the minute I told her that she didn t need to lie, I was on a 3 way call with my insurance when they confirmed my appointment at this exact location. Once that awkwardness was over with we moved to the next process, I was supposed to leave my vehicle so that it could get an appraisal and then get repaired. The lady in the office had a different idea. She wanted to do an out of the pocket estimate so I could take it to the party that was at fault. Unfortunately that is absolutely backwards as to what my insurance wanted. My insurance told me that it will take a while because parts are on back order. I said that was fine not a big deal. Carstar said they would have the vehicle ready in a handful of days (5 or so). Of course it took about three weeks. I got a phone call on a Wednesday to tell me that they hadn t started working on my vehicle because they were waiting for the parts to come in, they had arrived so my vehicle will be ready on Friday. I said awesome. Then Friday I got a phone call saying that the wrong parts were ordered so the vehicle should be ready tomorrow so it took three weeks to get the wrong part and now your telling me y all can get the right part in one day??? I didn t hold my breath. About a week later they did receive the right part. They informed me that the vehicle was ready for pick up. Let me tell you the vehicle was NOT ready for pick up. I went in and wow, the quality and workmanship was horrible. You could see the sanding lines from the body filler through the paint. The paint had so many imperfections including cloudy, and multiple sections of fish eyes. They didn t even tape off the rubber seal on the back tail gate so paint was literally flaking off. A dent that was apart of the accident wasn t even touched. The parts that they waited for were not seated properly on the weatherproof seal so the seal literally flapped around. Then as I am continuing my inspection I notice that the shark fin antenna is not straight, it s pointing to the right of the vehicle, I go up and touch it and its as lose as can be. I look at the supervisor in disbelief. Then we get to an area where there were dents on the body line and the body line was still not straight. Going back to the part where they say they handle all the paperwork. When they called me to tell me my vehicle was ready I was told I only needed to show up with my deductible. When I got there they wanted a check from the insurance company. I was so confused, I specifically told both the body shop and my insurance that I will not be dealing with anything. They need to talk to each other and the insurance will directly pay the body shop.I cannot believe that they were ok sending a customers vehicle out like that. This is not the Same great service, and results. I refused to pick up the vehicle. I let the supervisor know and he said he would have it corrected. No one should have to point all that out, that should be apart of their outgoing inspections. I am concerned that my vehicle will start leaking since all the seals were not installed correctly. Hopefully the 2nd time around they will spend more time ensuring that the vehicle gets fixed correctly.Services: Painting, Body & Trim

They had great customer service and support. They let me know when the car was in the shop, what parts they were waiting for, and when the car was ready for pickup. We did have to bring the car back for one minor thing, but it was fixed promptly within a few minutes of being there. Thanks for the great experience!

Changed my appointment without permission, then go and say it's just an estimate appointment despite the fact I had already taken it over to the estimator. Complete waste of time it wasn't even a hard job for them to do.

My car hit the front bumper and they fixed it for me, but I didn't have any lights on the dashboard before I drove over, after they fixed it, there was a hood open signal light, I believe they will fix it and return it, they service is good

I had a great experience with Kollision King. I went in for an insurance claim on my truck. They turned a not so fun situation into less of a headache. Smiley was so helpful and went the extra mile every interaction I had with him. The staff was friendly and professional. I highly recommend doing business here.

I have been taking my car to them for years since my accident. The quality of their bodywork and customer service is superb. They have done major and minor repairs on my vehicle and each time I receive it, it looks as though I just drove it off the lot! While my car was or is at their shop, I always receive friendly updates on the status of my car. Their work is fast and done right. They are very professional and helpful. If you're looking for great auto body repair with a lifetime guarantee, stop by this shop. You won't be disappointed.

Great service. Had no issues at all with them. My Vehicle (Dodge Challenger) was returned as if accident had never happened. Ismael "Smiley" Rodriguez was very professional and helpful to the very end. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for collision repair work. I would definitely be a repeat customer.

I was in a minor car accident and what I thought was minor repairs ended up being a huge fix! Smiley and the staff at Kollision King literally had my car back to looking brand new! The quality of work and the customer service was the best I ve received in Brownsville. Thanks again, Kollision King!

I got both my wife's car and mine done here. We got our cars looking bran new after they fixed all the hail damage to it. Amazing work done by professionals at a great cost. I wouldn't take any of my cars anywhere else (you can't find work like this in the valley)

I have been taking my cars (and family's cars) here for years. You can trust that you are getting high quality work at an honest price. It's a huge plus that this is a family owned local business. Can't beat the quality or the service.

Quality of work and customer service is second to NONE. Good luck going to dealerships and finding the same level of attention to detail and satisfaction. I've never taken my vehicles anywhere else. Just ask for SMILEY!

Kollision King did a great job of repairing my damaged vehicle. I am a "Winter Texan" and did not know where to turn to get my vehicle repaired. I did some research on the internet for iCar Certified repair shops and found Kollision King. Victor and Smiley were honest and dependable. My car was repaired fast, done right and looks beautiful. Kollision King has a lifetime warranty on repairs. I also plan to have some more work done here as I can feel this business is trustworthy. If you are looking for a collision/vehicle repair shop in the Brownsville/RGV area, stop by or call this body shop and speak with Victor or Sonny.

Can't publish on the quality of work yet cause I took my vehicle over a month ago and I still haven't gotten it back... every time I call they keep telling they sent it to the paint shop last week (eve though it's been two weeks already) and still nothing.. they take too long!
