This is where you go to get a professional job done and great customer service. They we’re always communicating throughout the process and it made me feel reassured that everything would be taken care of which took a lot of stress off of me, they go the extra mile when it comes to taking care of there clients and they finished my vehicle early which just made my week.

The team at Caliber Collision did an amazing job taking care of my truck. Heidis customer service was above and beyond, especially her great communication throughout the whole process. The quality of their work was also top notch. I would definitely recommend Caliber Collision of Forest Lake for your future services.

Caliber did a very good job repairing my vehicle. You cant tell that it was even in an accident. The shop kept me well informed of the progress and any delays due to a part shortage.

Review №18

I came in for a repair of my bumper as someone had performed a hit and run on my car. I came in and spoke with Jay (if I remember correctly is his name). First he gives me a quote in the 2,000 range then brings it down to 1700. He says he cant go any lower than 1700 but my dad tells him (over the phone) that his truck that also needs repairs was estimated at 1700 with much worse damage at a different caliber collision. Simply put, it was a lot of confusion. With that being said Jay decides to leave the total around 1500-1600. Talk about unprofessional and just trying to haggle us for the most amount of money he can. Clearly he knew nothing about the price of the repairs he was going to perform as he kept changing the price and clearly just wanted the most he thought he could get from an unsuspecting female; I came by myself which was my biggest mistake. Its been many months at this point (got my car fixed in summer) I figured I would post this review as my dad said he still needed his truck to be repaired and that he didnt want me to leave a bad review. At this point I think he can go somewhere else that wont rip him off.

I was in an auto accident and found Caliber through my insurance. At first I was apprehensive, but not anymore. Beth was amazing and kept me in the loop on what was happening with my car and despite the fact they dont get paid to perform estimates their customer service never waivered! (my car ended up being totaled) I would recommend Caliber Collision in Forest Lake to my friends, family and even a stranger!!

Review №21

I trusted them with my brand new Ram (less then 800 miles on it) to repair some roof damage. Im glad I did! Quick, accurate quote. Which I actually ended up paying less then the original quote. They got the repair done fast too! Could not be happier with the service I was provided. Wouldnt hesitate to bring my cars back to them!

Very professional. Office staff worked with scheduling in a quick timely way that was convenient. Jake looked over the car, took pictures and gave me an estimate that was very satisfactory. I got updates each day they had my car. They were finished well before the timeline they gave me. It looked better, was cleaner and even smelled better when I picked it up! Thank you Caliber!

My car looks like it just rolled off the lot! I couldnt be happier! It was done in a timely manner! Thanks guys for such a positive experience and all your hard work! Ill for sure bring my car here next time!

Removing and replacing the drivers side exterior mirror is a lightweight repair job for this crew compared to others theyve previously performed: $8,000 + repair to a nearly totaled Mazda 3, $10,000 + repairing an F-150 with extensive hail and tree damage caused by a tornado, so why the acclaim? To acknowledge the afore mentioned work not previously credited and for getting the necessary parts for this job at reduced cost, turning the job around in short order, great lobby conversations over things other than vehicles, and for Allens suburb attention to exterior detailing, i.e. the vehicle had been washed, nice job Allen!! Thanks to all!!

We have 15 vehicles in our company and have used a few repair shops before getting a referral for Caliber and they have had the best service in terms of clarity of the process, efficiency in getting a quote for our vehicles, and timeliness of the repairs while keeping us up to date on the project. Thank you Caliber, it is a relief to know we have a resource for our auto body repair needs.

I got quotes from several body shops before choosing Caliber Collision. They were the most professional shop by far! They were quick to offer me a quote, fast getting the work done, and did an amazing job. I hope not to need their services again, but if I do, I know where to go!

From the first call I made to Caliber Collision I was confident the team was professional and offered great customer service. Upon arrival to the store, I was treated respectfully, provided with real expectations and time required for a detailed estimate on my hail damage vehicles. Bev was great with scheduling, and making sure I had what I needed to continue my insurance claim. Jay was professional, thorough in his review, and took the time to explain the estimates he prepared. He provided best practice to scheduling my repairs, and had all the documentation and pictures uploaded to my insurance company. The entire team I had contact with were friendly, professional and very personable. Thank you Caliber Collision in Forest Lake, MN. Five 🌟 team! Update: Truck is fixed and looking amazing! Very professional/ high quality workmanship, very satisfied to have chosen Caliber Collision. 2020 has enough stress going on, you definitely made our insurance claim and entire process stress-free and very enjoyable!

Caliber Collision went above and beyond my expectations! I had a rather minor fender bender however it was one that would lead to quick tickets and unsafe travels on the road. I had assumed the repairs would take at least a week to obtain parts, repair and paint.. no. Caliber (Forest Lake) had my truck back to me in just over 48 hours! Bev and Heidi were so sweet to work with, they answered all of my questions and kept me very informed about every detail along the way! They handled all of my insurance stuff and I didnt have to do any arguing with the insurance myself, they DID IT ALL!Caliber Collision of Forest Lake truly restored the rhythm of my life! As a mom of 6, being without my Suburban for a lengthy amount of time was a major dread I had feared. Little did I know they would be so on top of their game!I have never been more satisfied by any other auto shop in my entire life!Thank you to the crew at Forest Lake Caliber! You guys are a phenomenal team!

5 stars. Friendly, quick, respectful, and hard working. Everyone in the shop is on the same page and theyve been a HUGE help in everything Ive ever had them do. Whenever I call them they always know the answers that I need and theyre more often than not willing to make an exception for their customers. I would ALWAYS recommend this body shop to anyone who is looking to get work done. Thank you Caliber Forest Lake!

My truck was damaged by hail and I brought it to Abra. Great decision! The truck had damage to every panel. When I got it back it looked like it did the day it rolled off the dealership parking lot.

This business is well know for satisfaction guaranteed and they delivered. They pulled a lot of weight to make sure I was well taken care of and went above and beyond to make sure that was given. I can’t even express my gratitude enough. Special thanks to Max for keeping in contact with me to make sure I knew exactly what was happening with my vehicle. Communication and updates are something they should pride in. Not many shops deliver this kind of costumer service, I’m very please with the experience I had. Max and the rest of the team never left me confused on what was happening with my car and always took care of anything that came up. I’d never leave my car in the hands of any other body shop. Another special thanks to Terry for going above and beyond. The body work looks absolutely incredible and I’m so happy. Devine work, thank you for putting in your all. I appreciate this extraordinary team.

The lady at the front desk (Bev) was extremely knowledgeable about all the variables of insurance and she is friendly and very helpful. Wonderful person.

I had to go back three times, first a major scratch on the side they didnt work on. They didnt completely remove the scratch the first time I came back, so I had to go back again. They oversprayed my wheel well and now I have to schedule another appointment to have that corrected. They called me on a Thursday and told me it would be two weeks before it was done. Then they called me back the following Tuesday morning and said it was complete. They shoved it through the shop and didnt pay attention to the work they where doing. When I left the first time they TOLD me to give them a five star rating for their corporate office to see. Oh hell no, I never do that after they tell me to. Ill be the judge, not them!My advice, Find a locally owned shop, not a corporate owned chain to have your work done.

Review №68

Good customer service doesnt mean 100% perfect. Stuff happens and good customer service means they admit to problems and then fix it with out a fight. There were a few delays from my insurance company and there there was a delay from Abra. Both the insurance company and Jessica at Abra stepped up to the plate and made sure that I didnt have to pay extra for the rental because of the delays. And both did this with out a fight from me which is a million times better than a lot of companies. Very well done. So well done I needed to make it a point to post this review.

To Mike Schroer and Brian Van Dyke,I have been a customer of Abra Auto Body & Glass Forest Lake from last 10 years and every time I have gotten excellent and friendly service. Even the last time I went to Abra on March 24, 2013 for some problems with my car, which was fixed by Abra Auto Body Forest Lake over a year and half ago. I got an exceptional customer service and very professional tips from Brian about the air pressure in my car tires. Both Mike and Brian spent their time answering my all questions in a professional and respectable manner about the car problem. I appreciate all their help and time they spent. I highly recommend the Abra Auto Body & Glass in Forest Lake, MN.

Review №78

Took my truck in 2+ years ago for work on tailgate and sidewall. Replaced the side wall after months of waiting. Straightened tailgate. Now it is bubbling. First manager said they would fix, give them a couple days to pull paper work. 2 weeks later I called, lost paper again. New manager says the truck is old and that is why rusting. I point out that the only spot on entire truck that shows rust is where they worked. Then he claims the seal in the back of tailgate is broken....right where they worked straightening the tailgate. Tried to contact head office, they say they cant find my paperwork either. So bad body work and poor filing habits. Your insurance company recommends them because they are cheap, not because they are good or stand behind their work.

Review №79

This place is horrible!! My insurance company sent us here, we live 45 mins away but this is the closest place. We call to make an appointment to bring in our truck and I rearrange everything to drive down. Once we get here they tell us it will be over a month before they can see our truck!!! Why would I drive 45 mins ONE WAY for an estimate with the work out a month!! I wasted my entire day plus a lot of gas for nothing!!!! And all they can say is sorry!! That doesn’t help me!!! Tell people that your work is a month out when they make appointments so they know if they will be wasting their time!!! My insurance company will be hearing about this, so angry!!!

LIed about a scratched window that came in as my replacement, did not offer an adequate solution, and wanted to reschedule my Saturday Appt, as likely their driver for this area called in sick, so they wanted it to be 2 days later, so Tuesday Morning. Which would not be possible to receive a replacement for the scratched window in time with no shipping (Sunday), and 1 business day in between to both call it in for order and for it to be delivered from their vendor on the same day. When I first placed the order a week earlier the person stated they needed at least 3 days to receive the glass in. That is when I knew she was lying over the phone. I canceled my appt with Abra and will be sure to let State Farm know their practices.
