Jon at Rife’s was phenomenal to work with on my Tesla repair. He took care of dealing with the headache Progressive insurance caused and got me back in the vehicle sooner than expected. The body repair looks as good as new and I’m very happy the results. Highly recommend them for Tesla repairs.Service: Body & Trim
Rife's in Grandview has now become our first choice in collision repair. My wife and I rent out cars, so we've been in and out of Rife's over the last year needing maintenance on our vehicles mainly with our Tesla. Rife's is one of two places Columbus that is authorized to repair them!!. We've worked mainly with Jon on our car repairs, and he's been great! Sam at the front desk is also fantastic. She's very friendly and does communicate well with us re: status of car repairs, misc. questions we have, etc. If anyone is looking for a reliable, honest, and trust worthy collision repair shop, I 100000% recommend Rifes!!!
This is the type of work they do on brand new car, paint run and lots of dirt in the paint. Not to mention leaving tape residue on the vehicle. Maybe it’s a one off occurrence, but I’d never take a vehicle there.
The front desk Sam was very nice and helpful the whole time. She was able to schedule me in ASAP and allowed me to bring the car in on an off day. Connor, the one who handled all of my paperwork and repair process, was very communicative and all around great guy! My K5 was repaired decently quick, within a week and a half or two, albeit they had to order more parts that they didn't get from the estimate which was understandable, Connor let me know as soon as they took it apart to fix. It looks brand freaking new and would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend coming here for top quality work. Will add pictures in to show the before and afterService: Body & Trim
I appreciated the work that Rife's and Jon repair process manager who I worked with put into fixing my car. They worked diligently to communicate with my insurance company to get my car back to me as soon as possible. I was especially thankful for Jon's updates and his honesty with me in getting my car repaired. My car came back repaired and nicely detailed. I would absolutely recommend Rife's and Jon!Service: Body & Trim
Amazing job. I am shocked they were able to take the sharp dent out of my Tesla Model 3. No paint job needed, buffed out the scratch and took the dent right out and picked it up same day. Amazing amazing work. Trust these guys! Super friendly.Service: Body & Trim
I’m sure the work they perform is fantastic. If insurance fraud was legal, that is. My Toyota was rear ended in an accident, and I went to 4 or 5 different body shops for quotes. All came back between $6,000 and $7,500. Ride’s auto body told me my repairs would cost at least $14,000 and that my car was totaled. I’m not sure how they even came up with that number. Then I was told by several other body shops in the area that they do this to a drive away business from anything other than the most luxury brand vehicles or b trick an insurance company to agree to total a car that’s clearly reparable so they can fix it for half of what they quoted and sell it. So yeah, that’s pretty dirty.
UPDATE JUNE 7, 2022 I ended up doing business with Rife. Based on the fact, the research I did, they did good work and have done many higher dollar cars. They matched my blue metallic paint extremely well and they paint looks great. And while the car was in the shop, they gave me updates in their process. I also appreciate them vacuuming the inside from any sanding debris Updating to a 4/5. The timing of their estimate was the only thing holding them back from 5 stars. ............................................................. I had an estimate scheduled for March 19. Arrived on time, employee John? went out and looked and snapped a few pics of my car. Said he would send out the estimate Monday. Great, no big deal. It's now March 29 and no estimate has been given to me. I even called the following week to ask about the estimate. Employee said he sees pictures in the system and would remind estimator. We even verified my email. Definitely wont be doing business here if they cant get potential customers info they seek.
If you want the best possible results for your Car Repair go to Rife’s Auto Body. Jon Minor and Team strive for a great result and Professional Curtesy during the whole repair process. I definitely would use them again.
