They consistently communicated with me on the status of the repair. They took less time than their original estimate. When I picked up my car, they had given it a good cleaning, both outside and inside.
Perfect work, perfect professionalism, perfect customer service. If any type of body work is ever needed again, this will be the place I choose.
Schaefer again did an excellent job of repairing my car. The frequent progress reports on the repair were much appreciated. Im very pleased with the work Schaefer performed.
Nick and the rest of the Schaefer Auto Body team are amazing! I highly recommend this business.
Wonderful experience! Extremely courteous. Pleasant and prompt service. Finished when promised. Bumper looks great- it’s as good as new!
The best auto body shop! So sweet and kept me updated through out my whole repair process! The best place!
Amazing staff, great communication, EXCELLENT body work! I brought my car here when someone backed inside my Mazda CX-5. The car was delivered to me detailed inside and out! Highly recommended and will always bring my vehicles here for body work.
We had a tight deadline to get the body work done on our vehicle before we had to turn it in as the lease was expiring. The crew worked overtime to get the work done and we got the car back with 8 days to spare before we had to turn the car into the dealer. The team was beyond extraordinary. They communicated with us constantly throughout the process with updates so we knew exactly what was happening and when. The end result was a flawless repair. They also detailed the car so it looked like it just rolled off the assembly line. We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Schaefer. We are customers for life!
Absolutely awesome service! Nick is great and everyone was professional and courteous. I have others I will refer to this business!
The employees were super nice and were willing to answer all my questions. They even got my car done a day early than they said they would. They were very helpful and did an awesome job and they were easy to work with. I highly recommend this place.
ITS NOT OFTEN YOU FIND A COMPANY THAT GETS IT. SCHAEFER AUTOBODY IS ONE OF THOSE COMPANIES. HONEST, INCREDIBLE WORKMANSHIP, FAIRLY PRICED, I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE WHO MAY NEED BODY WORK.GREAT JOB GUYS
Schaefer did a great job and delivered my truck back to me earlier than promised. Thanks!
The Ellisville team was very professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to do any auto body or repair work you may need
Excellent communication from Shane start to finish. Quality work from the guys in the shop. Finished and returned 3 days early. Will definitely be my go-to shop in the future.
Very happy with body work to front right fender, front bumper and door.Repair was done on a timely basis.
Great work! Finished two days earlier than expected. Truck looks brand new
Great experience, with frequent updates and all repairs completed in a timely manner, along with professional handling of all services, including customer care.
TRULY a FIRST-CLASS organization. From the time I walked in the door to drop off my car to the time when I picked up the car was a fantastic experience! Body work was IMMACULATE! One of the employees at the Ellisville location named “Shane” called me every couple days to give me an update on where they were in the process of repairing my car. Felt like they genuinely cared about my car AND me at the same time. Would definitely RECOMMEND to anyone who needs body work done. Came in today and picked up my car and my car looked better than when I bought it. They cleaned the inside of it, vacuumed the floors, cleaned the outside. There was definitely a REASON why I chose Schaefer Auto Body when I had the option to choose which shop I would take my car to after someone rear-ended me a couple weeks ago. Couldn’t be happier - thanks so much for everything Schaefer Autobody:)
I was treated very professionally at Schaefer Autobody. They were thorough and kept us informed every step of our repair. Our car was completed exactly when they told us. They dealt with my insurance company directly. I would use Schaefer Autobody again.
Absolutely the best auto body shop I have dealt with or heard about! We received frequent updates on repair progress and the estimated completion date. On pickup, Shane fully explained the repair strategy and returned my car in a condition that was Showroom Ready - certainly better than before the accident!
Very professional and did great work! They were great about communicating to me what was going on with my car and the timeline for when it would be finished. I would definitely use them again in the future.
Clean space. Professional staff. Great updates throughout the process.
Very impressed with the communication and customer service.
My new Bronco was sideswiped on the interstate and Schaefer was absolutely the best to work with!
Flawless work! Incredible customer service!
Great communication, meet deadlines, thorough with their explanation of work done, quality work. Have had several cars repaired here, they always do good work.
I was thoroughly impressed with my experience here. Nick and the entire team went over and above my expectations, staying in frequent communication to provide updates on the status of the repairs. They were honest, respectful and super accommodating to work with my schedule. I was treated like family beginning to end and saw them give the same care to each of their customers. They more than earned my business.
Shane updated me daily on the progress of my vehicle, and it came out looking great! They even vacuumed it for me before returning it, which was a nice surprise. Thank you for the great on-time service!
Needed some minor body repair done. Everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful. The estimate that they provided was nearly spot on to what it ended up costing. They kept us informed throughout the process and worked well with the insurance company. When the car was done, it looked like it did before the accident (maybe even better!). I would highly recommend them if you need repair work. I hope to not need them again, but I will return if the need arises.
Great customer service and communication. Great work
This is the 4th time we’ve used Schaefer Autobody. Bill is friendly and helpful. He kept me up to date on the status of the repair including the estimate. He thoroughly looked over the car when I brought it in. A staff member thoroughly went over the repairs when we picked up the car, including giving instructions for washing the car since they had to paint the repaired area. They made it easy to get a rental car. Best of all, my car was finished sooner than expected. I’m so glad our State Farm agent recommended Schaefer Autobody to us several years ago!
Schaffer did a great job on my car, took care of everything and got it done ahead of schedule!
Highly recommend! Excellent work and top notch customer service. Will definitely use again.
Bill handled all of my cars issues and kept me updated with phone calls on many occasions. It was so convenient and the finished product was completed way earlier than estimated. It looks great and I would recommend them to all of my friends.
They were very professional and courteous. They kept me fully informed and performed excellent work within the quoted price and time.
Friendly staff and they did a great job on my truck, it looks fabulous!
Excellent repair work and timely service. Would always have Schaefer do any body repairs that are required. Needed their services again within 14 months of original review. Same great service and quality of workmanship! These guys are the best!
Great service and great prices
From the initial discussion through completion, I was Informed of the steps and kept me updated with their progress. They finished several days ahead of their projection. Excellent service and superior quality.
They did an excellent job on my car and had it ready on time!
They repaired my vehicle and their bodywork and painting was excellent.
The process was really easy. Shaffer took care of everything and the fixed our car very well and in record time. The only thing tho is the guy at the reception. He wasn’t very friendly but maybe it was because it was snowing outside pretty bad and the mood wasn’t right. But besides that great experience.
Had a problem with broken back door handle on our SUV. It was totally stuck and as a result inside light was permanently on and draining battery. Took car to dealer who basically didnt even try to open trunk and said they would drill a permanent hole thru door to get it open and replace broken handle. It was suggested by a friend to take SUV to Schaefer Autobody as she was impressed with this companys work. Took Schaefer Autobody 15 minutes to get door open. They ordered new door handle and once received, it took them 10 minutes to install on my door. ( And of course no permanent drilled hole in my door as suggested by dealer). Really appreciated how Schaefer immediately tried to help and was very impressed with their work.
Always excellent results. Excellent communication and fast turnaround.
Great service! Friendly, helpful. Stayed in touch.
Nick was amazing. He kept me informed of the progress on my Mercedes and made sure it was kept inside. He worked with the insurance people who were not easy. A valuable employee.
Second time I have used Schaefer and they did a great job. Kept me updated on progress and was able to leave the rental car there when I picked up my vehicle. Would definitely use them again!
The guys at Schaefer in Ellisville were so helpful. They went out of their way to squeeze my car in for both a quote and repair. The kept me in the loop and went above and beyond in my opinion. Better service than I got at my dealership’s body shop!
Took our car in a few weeks back and dealt with Chris, who was excellent! They set great expectations about the estimate and the timeline, and the fact that there may be hidden damage behind the front bumper cover. There was more, but again, expectations were set in advance, which was appreciated. The work was done on time, and more importantly, extremely well! Chris told us if anything was wrong, they would do whatever it took to make things right. Viewing the workmanship of the repair, everything looked great. However, the minute we got home, we found a nail in the tire, which clearly came from their lot. There were absolutely no issues getting that fixed and taken care of! The true test of a company making claims of making things right is when something DOES go wrong and they are quick to take care of it! This company proved to us that they stand behind their promises and their work! Theyve won our business for life!
Service was great. They did body work and paint and it looks great.
They were great to work with and called every week with update. Finished early and took care of all the details. They turned a bad situation around for us. Thank you!
Very Professional. Excellent work and finished ahead of schedule. Exceptionally nice folks with which to work. Our truck looks brand new. Highly recommend!
These folk do a great job, work well with the insurance agents and do it all with excellent communication. I have had the same excellent work and professionalism on three occasions in the last six years.
Nic and the team at the Ellisville location were awesome to work with! Completely professional and quality work! Great communication and finished the work 3 days earlier than promised.
Great service! Easy to work with, job completed early and friendly staff!
They kept me informed of progress, they were always professional and courteous. The work done was superior. I could not be more pleased.
Took it to a few other shops they recommended other parts that I found out I did not need shaffers recommended different parts that I did need and it drives awesome highly recommend this place Ive had my Jeep there several times for other parts tires Etc very honest and trustworthy people Mike the service manager was great to deal with all of my questions and I never felt rushed
Excellent quality repair in 3 days on left front fender.
Great professional service!
Schaefer made sure I was updated regularly on the progress of my repairs on my car. It was a quick and easy process. Erik and Scott were friendly, punctual, and kept me informed. The whole staff was helpful! I will be back.
I had to have Two repairs within two months.Nice people but I had to bring the car back a couple of times for parts and adjustments. It took a bit longer than expected as well. The windshield trim fell off when I pulled out of their parking lot and the bumper repair Failed Slightly as they had to have some clips or brackets replaced.The second repair went well so far (it’s only been a few days).
Clear and accurate diagnosis. Quick work and great professionalism.
Schaeffer handled our repair in a timely professional efficient manner. They kept us informed weekly of the progress and delivered the car one day earlier than they had anticipated.
They always get the job done right the first time. Always courteous and keep you up to date in the progress!
Fantastic customer service from Nic H. He was efficient, explained everything thoroughly, and was very helpful. The final cost was a fraction of estimates I received elsewhere. Will definitely use Schafer Autobody again & will recommend to family & friends.
They kept me updated on everything happening with my car and were very quick and professional about it. Would go back if needed for anything.
Great work, quality you can see and reliability you can trust. Been taking vehicles to them to get repaired and always get it back in great condition.
Excellent quick service; handled beautifully and came in way under estimate
Nick was amazing
Great service. Kept me advised as to how the repairs were progressing. My car looks like new.
Great repair work. I had 2 cars fixed here and both experiences were very good.
Been here with 3 autos. Pleasant workers and very helpful. Did a good job every time.
They delivered the car earlier than estimated, and it looks great.
Great work on my car for insurance claim, they worked to make location for drop more convenient. I did request quote to do a best effort for the money for three other blemishes. The quotes came back obviously not what I could afford. Tried several times to explain, had to request several times and eventually the quote was not what the adjuster at Schaefer said was possible.
I had seen some not so good review on this location, but they repaired my Honda Pilot after we were rear ended. Did a great job, and they kept in communication. Not sure what else you can want here...I recommend.
Professional from start to finish. My car looks like the damage was never there! I will absolutely use them again in the future
Timely updates and communication on my repairs...Everything went smooth
Car STILL not fixed after 3+ months of waiting, and 2 weeks in the shop... PLUS a new brake problem to fix!My wifes car was rear-ended in January, and pushed into the car in front of her at a low speed. Its an older car (1994), but still in very good condition. There wasnt a ton of damage, just dents in both bumpers. State Farm was the at-fault partys insurance company, so some of this falls on them, but Schaefer was complicit.Quick timeline of events...- Late January: Wreck. State Farm arranges for the car to be fixed at Schaefer, but wont be able to get it in until March due to body shop availability and needing parts.- Early March: Schaefer calls to reschedule, still waiting on parts.- Late March: Dropped off at Schaefer, picked up rental car.- 2 days later: Unbeknownst to us, Schaefer decides that the car is totaled ($88 difference between cost to fix and value of car!). State Farm turns car over to total loss department. Neither party calls to inform us.- 10 days later: We call Schaefer and State Farm to ask whats going on, and are informed the car is totaled. We can either take a check to release the car, or take a larger check and let State Farm have it (not an option for us).- A few days later, we pick up the car, and suddenly the brakes sound like a helicopter landing when applied. There was absolutely no problem with the brakes for the 2+ months my wife drove the car after the wreck, prior to leaving it at Schaefer.So now were left with a still-wrecked car and a $3000 check. Thanks to Schaefers decision to total it (after making us wait an extra 2 weeks to get parts) we have no way to get a rental car while we get it fixed. And then theres the additional $450+ we had to pay to get the brakes fixed!Avoid this place like the plague, especially if State Farm tries to send you there. Thanks for nothing, Schaefer!
Kept us informed on the progress, very professional, I highly recommend
Completely satisfied. Quality workmanship, done on a timely basis...
Shaefer completed the body work on my car in a timely fashion. They communicated regularly during the 10 days my car was in their possession keeping me informed every step of the way.
Excellent service and customer support. I would highly recommend Schaefer Autobody .
Interior repair/replacement
From first estimate to completion of work, Schaefer made the process a seamless one. Our car presented as brand new when ready for pickup a day earlier than promised.
Car looks and rides just like it did before the accident. Repairs were done in a timely manner with status updates given along the way.
When it comes to anything car related, Im paranoid. There are simply too many ways to get screwed over and you almost have to be a little bit of ajerk to make sure you dont get taken advantage of.Didnt once feel like I had to do that with these guys. They answered every little question with patience and they earned my trust. When I had a frantic question about the timeline they answered me quickly and articulately.The work is beautiful, and I even got my car back three days early. Ill call that a win. Definitely coming back here if I ever (god-forbid) need to again.
Easy to work with and professional. Everything was as expected with no surprises!
Excellent and very friendly service on my little XLR
Awesome customer service, and my car looks great!
I just Recently took my truck to Schaefer Auto Body in Ellisville, Mo. From the Manager to the Painter, I received nothing but professionalism! The work they did was phenomenal!!My husband who is very picky couldn’t believe how awesome they did!! If we ever need Body work on our vehicles again, it will be Schaefer Auto Body in Ellisville, Mo. ( as long as we get the same manager and Painter!!Thank youDebbie H
Good communication, excellent work and on time service.
Upgraded the chrome trim. Great job and very quick.
Wouldnt give a rental while fixing my vehicle. & Charged my deductible. Other places help out on deductible.
I had a scratch on my car door and told them I had a $250 deductible. They called me back the next day and told me they buffed out the scratch and there was no charge. I could not believe they were that nice. I am always going back to them.
Schaefer AutoBody did a terrific job on my car after an accident. Would highly recommend them.
Schaefer Autobody in Ellisville........FRAUD and more FRAUD. They said they needed my car for two weeks, then suddenly needed it an extra week, with no communication. I had to call them to find that out. When looking over my car after supposed work was done, I found numerous scratches and scuffs that Schaefer claims were there before they started work. This is a brand new car. The paperwork from my insurance estimate indicated that ALL work would be completed. The Schaefer paperwork given to me when I picked up my car indicated that many parts had been replaced, when in fact, they werent (roof, doors, fenders). The items that were to be replaced (according to insurance adjustment) were not replaced, only repaired, but Schaefer did not make any monetary adjustments for doing that. Final paperwork indicated a $5,000 miscellaneous item.....very interesting. When questioned about whether they replaced or repaired items, Schaefer became very defensive and never did answer the question. Behind your back, they notate prior damage to car but never get your approval or signature. Their notes of prior damage are on the supposedly replaced doors, etc. This shop lacks work ethics, communication with its customers, and quality work. BTW, this is the same company that has been caught loaning out the cars (they are supposed to be working on) to other customers. They should be shut down!
Car was fixed within 4 days and the work is good.
Great work, great service!
They are unreliable, Deceptive practices and breach of Customer trust and disloyal. Basically untrustworthy. There are plenty of body shops in STL. Dave Munganest is better. I had a better experience several times. Once Schaffer, almost guarantee you will never go back !
What a great job that did.
