Joe Hudson's Collision Center

"I do not recommend them at all! They did a very Poor job and customer service was so bad too.my issue was not the timelines as you replied!! It was about your advisor ‘’Jay’’ who was screaming at me all time in front of other customers and the rest of your team and never gave me a solid answer for any question. Also, the job was poor, there was uneven spaces between the new bumper and the headlights and car body. And the installed recyclable headlight was defective eve though Jay said you will inspect it first before installing it, the edges of hood are rough after painting, and many more. Please read the survey I conducted carefully for more details about the job and your advisor."

"Came in with some sratches along the side of my car from a minor side-scraping incident. Had gotten some estimates in the $1-3k range to repaint multiple panels, but before doing that Randy tried to buff it out. To my amazement it work perfectly, and there is almost no sign anything ever happened to my car. Best of all it was an act of goodwill with no charge attached…the other shops I went to said it *might* be buffable like this, but only at Hudson’s did someone actually take the time to do it for me. Not only will I come back, I will recommend others to do so as well. Thank you Randy!"

"I recent had my Tesla repaired by Joe Hudson’s for some rust/paint warranty work. They did a fantastic job and the car looks brand new! I legitimately can’t tell the areas are repainted. Along with that they detailed the car when it wasn’t even necessary. Very happy with the work they did on my vehicle! The receptionist Dee was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I was situated properly, despite Tesla’s unorganized rental system. They seem to be quite busy as there was some delay on the work. It took me about 4 months to get scheduled in after Tesla service center submitted the job. And once I got in, I was given an estimate of 7-10 days. In reality the work took about 3 and a half weeks to complete. This delay is understandable but I was not given any updates on the timeline via email or call. I think that’s one area that could be improved upon. Either communicate more with the customer or give a more generous and realistic timeline. Overall very pleased with their workmanship and service, would happily have my car serviced here again."

"When someone backed into my new Jetta GLI with less than 1,000 miles on it, I went to VW's website to find a shop approved by the factory. Advance Auto Collision is one of two VW Certified shops in Tampa Bay. After reading reviews of both shops, Advance had far better responses; After going with them I can definitely see why. They worked with me until I was satisfied my car was like new again. Recently they were also able to fix 2 approximately two foot scratches to the roof caused by a tree the same day I brought the car in; They even washed the car! I'm glad I went with Advance."

"I'd highly recommend this place for any collision work you may need. Not only is Jay a genuinely kind person, he kept me in the loop throughout the repair process. There were no hidden costs and if adjustments needed to be made to the estimate, they were clearly conveyed. Jay and the rest of the staff are professionals that care about the work they do and the clients they service. Not only was my vehicle completed in a timely manner, they even washed my car inside and out before I picked it up! I've had work done on a few cars and this is the only shop that actually goes the extra mile for their clients. If I need any work done on any of my vehicles in the future, they are my preferred choice in the Tampa area. Attached are before and after pictures of my vehicle and Jay's business card."
