Dunshee Body & Frame in other cities:
Not only was the repair done expertly, but the car was returned in pristine condition, inside & out. I did not realize that body repair would necessitate re-calibration of the electronics and sensors. It is my understanding that Dunshee Body & Frame is one of the only in the area to be factory trained to do so on my particular make of car.
I hit a deer in Kalamazoo around midnight and was stranded on the side of I 94, 2 hours from home. I had no idea where to have my car towed to but, it ended up at Dunshee Auto and Im so happy it did. They were the most courteous and professional repair shop Ive ever dealt with! Plus the work on my vehicle is superior!! They are the best and Im hard to please!!!I couldnt of
Someone hit my car while it was parked. Worked with my insurance and Dunshee to get the damage fixed. Took about a week, but their work was amazing! My car looks great and I paid was I was told I would pay. They even detailed the inside of my car. It hasnt looked this good in 5 years. Thank you so much for great work!
The folks here are awesome! Their communication is 5 star in itself. Ryan kept me in the loop with each thing that changed. My car looks amazing and I can’t forget to mention the wash and wax! She shines like new. I would definitely recommend Dunshee to anyone looking for body work. They’re fairly priced, they do excellent work and they communicate well! Thank you Dunshee!
Dunshee has been doing flawless work for me for years. Their office is super professional and clean, which, as a woman, is important to me if I have to sit and wait for my rental car to arrive. They even have cold bottled water available in the waiting area. They keep me posted by phone and/or text so I know what to expect. I have used another body shop that someone recommended only once; the experience wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t the Dunshee experience. One more plus…Dunshee is very Covid-conscious, which I appreciate immensely.
First of all, the staff here is awesome, timely and honest. They updated me all along the process. They provided all the information they had on the repair I needed - this includes TSBs. The price point is average for automotive work, but the quality of individuals I feel like is above average. Namely, Ron and the various techs I had to work with. I would not hesitate to send my vehicle back to them.I signed off on a $800 inspection of the transmission, but the lead mech tech called me and said, sir this may not be necessary, and I dont want to charge you if I dont have to. How can you beat that?Thanks Dunshee, and Ron in particular.Best Regards
My front end was hit by a shredded semi-truck tire and cracked a piece of my front end :/ I was initially irritated but now very thankful for Dunshee Auto for easing my frustration! They were extremely professional and on time with my repair. They even cleaned the inside of my car and it’s beautiful! If I ever need additional car repairs I’ll definitely be going back to Dunshee’s! :)
Dunshee is high quality body and repair shop. The customer waiting area was spotless and well maintained. Customer service was great. Repairs were done within the estimated budget and sooner than expected. My car was returned in better condition (outside and inside) than when I dropped if off. I recommend Dunshee without hesitation.
I was hit by someone running a light and my insurance company recommended Dunshee as one of their top body shops. I wasn’t expecting to be impressed.Dunshee was able to get me right in. An employee (Ryan) met me at my car and went over what was expected of the repair. Ryan was knowledgeable and friendly. I received daily texts of the car’s progress. It was ready as expected. The work was excellent.Highly recommend Dunshee.
Heads up They no longer accept All-state or work on Audis. At the inspection for body work repairs, I was told after I had notified them that I had all state and was referred by Mapel Hill Auto Group that they dont accept all state and Are not doing work on Audis anymore. Seems like they want to get vehicles in and out and are not willing to get claims satisfied for the full work through all-state. Not sure why this couldnt have been communicated before I drove 45 minutes under the assumption that they would want some business.
Very friendly, professional, and cared about me as well as my vehicle. I was updated regularly about the status of the repairs. Once I needed to be contacted, and the manager even apologized for reaching out while I was on vacation. They are very caring to take special notes like that and remember those things. I definitely recommend this body shop to anyone! Top notch customer service and quality work!
They lifted my Jeep 2.5 and gave me an alignment as well. I felt that the value given was very high. They went the extra mile by giving me daily updates, washing the outside and inside of my Wrangler (smells better than when it went in) and overall did great work. Best part was they had parts in and installed the very next day. Very quick, easy, and great work!Scott was my sales rep, very professional, no issues or complaints. Gave me sound recommendations and was punctual and willing to deal with my many phone calls.Thanks Guys!
I am blown away by and so grateful for the job the Dunshee team did on my Subaru Crosstrek! My rear hatch was smashed by a branch falling in a strong windstorm and tiny pieces of glass covered nearly the entire interior of my car. They replaced the rear hatch and re-connected and matched everything perfectly. Not only does the outside of my car look **pristine**, they managed to completely remove all of the pieces of broken glass from the inside. The broken glass was honestly what had distressed me the most as I worried I’d be finding pieces in there forever and that it might not be safe for others to ride in the back seat for that reason. Instead it’s like it never happened! They even cleaned the floor mats which now look brand new again. I would highly recommend this team for any body work or detail repairs.
They dont call you to tell you its going to be longer. I had to call them on my way to the shop to find out itd be another week. And than another and than another. The customer service was terrible they over quoted and the work is okay at best. Dont go here if you need your car back soon. Definitely dont go here if you expect them to call you with updates. They prolonged this ordeal for more than a month and a half past the quoted time. Ridiculous to say the least and unacceptable for a business to run like this.
If your insurance company recommends this company dont take it to them they ruined my vehicle and then had the audacity to tell me it wasnt there fault I made the mistake of bringing my vehicle here only for them to damage it worse and refuse responsibility! Thankfully another mechanic has looked my vehicle and has determined the damage was done by a lift gee I wonder whos lift that was. Extremely unprofessional establishment that pays google to hide their poor reviews and on top of it on further investigation they openly have reviews on here left by bots. I.e. not real people just a program used to make it look like people are leaving positive reviews.
My truck received a heavy dose of hail, golfball size to baseball size. It was so bad Dunshee had to replace the hood and roof of my F150 and fix all the other dents caused by the hail. The truck looks newer than what it did before the hail damage. Body and paint work was top-notch. I would highly recommend them to anyone whos car vehicle is in need of body repair and or painting.
Dunshee is a great place to take your car if you need it to be work on. They’re very professional and wouldn’t disappoint. They’re also very helpful in difficult situations and give you helpful advice on the next step. I highly recommend taking your vehicle here, the great team won’t disappoint you.
I have had nothing but Awesome experiences in dealing with Dunshee body and Frame. I recently had two vehicles worked on by them a car and a truck and they both looked absolutely beautiful when I got them back (and I am a very picky car person). They do high quality work and deliver on what they say they are going to do. One other nice thing about this business is that they want to do what is right for the customer not just for the insurance company or for the sake of getting the work completed but because quality in their work matters to them and it shows. As long as they remain in business I will always take my families vehicles to Dunshee Body and Frame for any thing that we have needs for, Great job folks, keep up the Awesome work!!!!
Dunshee is the best body shop in town. Ron and team are professionals who work like a well oiled machine. Communication is consistent and work is done quickly. Especially in an insurance situation, Dunshee shows compassion and kindness and takes the stress out of the process for you which is so nice! We have and always will go to Dunshee. Thank you!
So far, excellent customer service and I know many people with exceptional results, they were highly recommended so I expect my car to come back in better condition than when I bought it.Edit:I was right, car is in excellent shape, I highly recommend these guys. Great customer service and communication BRAVO
Great people to work with when your ride is injured and you need a good dienostics of the entire situation for the repair and they keep you informed thru the entire process and you arrive on the other side with the car fixed as it looked before anything happened ! Would recommend this shop to others and the brotherhood of muscle !! 2017 dodge challenger T/A in Green Go, theyre treat you with respect and back what they say and do !!!!
Our roof was rusting out by the windshield on the passenger side about two years ago and had dunshee fix it, well come now it started rusting out again. The area from the factory lasted only 10 years, but dunshees fix only lasted two. Took it in, they took zero responsibility for it coming back again.
They have great customer service and do great work. You wouldnt even be able to tell my truck was ever hit. When they accidentally ordered the wrong grill they made it right, right away. They even went as far as to go out and buy my light up trailer hitch cover and installed it. Would highly recommend
Dunshee was totally professional from start to finish. The quality of workmanship and dedication to excellence is very much appreciated. Communication was seamless and they answered all my questions. They treated my truck like it was their own and I very much appreciate that. They even hand washed it before I came to pick it up!! I will definitely use Dunshee for all my auto body needs in the future.Thank You!
Hit a deer over Memorial Day weekend so the shop was closed until Tuesday. I got a phone call from them with the initial estimate before noon...on Tuesday! They hopped right on the process. I sent them my insurance information and they handled the rest. They sent me continual updates throughout the whole process. They gave me an estimate that it would be done on a Friday by the end of the day, but got it to me on Wednesday at noon.Not only did they do great work on the repair itself, they were super friendly, professional, and helpful along the way. I would highly recommend Dunshee Body & Frame!
Bought tires online and needed to have them installed and balanced. also I was in need of an all wheel alignment. So I decided to give dunshee auto body a go because I figured they would do a better job then some chain automotive tire place. I definitely made a great choice. My mustang drives like its on rails. Rides Very smooth and drives straight on highway with no pull in either direction. I work during their business hours. However it was as easy as dropping my car off after work and picking it up the next evening. They called me when my car was done. I paid over the phone. The part I really appreciated was not only did they leave my receipt in car, but they also had a print out of my alignment specs before and after they worked on it. Great work and customer service Dunshee auto body and frame. I will be a returning customer in future. Forgot to mention how good on pricing they were!
Great Service! I had a huge gauge on my rear bumper and I cannot even tell it was there. They did a great job, were fast, courteous and worked well with my insurance. The gals in the office are right on top of things and I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my experience with Dunshee. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them-they were awesome! Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic job. I got into a hit and run accident, Dunshee did a great job working with my insurance to get my car fixed. They did fantastic work and kept me in the loop the entire time with updates. When I went to pick up my car both inside & outside had been cleaned. I highly recommend Dunshee to anyone who’s car needs bodywork.
Dunshee does the highest quality bodywork in the Kalamazoo area. I have had collision damage fixed elsewhere and been greatly disappointed. Never at Dunshee. The insurance company totaled my car out this time. Bummer. The only negative at Dunshee is that they are expensive. But, with collision damage you get what you pay for.
Absolutely loved my experience with Dunshee. They were very professional with the entire experience. Extremely knowledgeable staff. Kept me updated with daily text messages letting me know the status of my vehicle, and the estimated completion date. Im still blown away by how fast they got the job done, and even more how amazing it looks. Like nothing ever even happened! You simply cant go wrong with Dunshee, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a body shop in the area.
My vehicle was rear ended and needed a lot of repairs. I Just picked up my car and could not be more pleased. I am floored at the outstanding customer service and care both I and my vehicle received. Dunshee wil now be the only repair shop getting my business in the West Michigan area! Thank you for your quick and efficient service, Dunshee! Also I loved that they send texts updating you on the progress of your vehicle so you can stay in the loop!!!! Would give more stars if I could
They over promised and under-delivered on repairs time. They added over 5,000 dollars in supplemental repair expenses and still added the 1,000 dollar deductible onto our final bill. While waiting for repairs, we spent thousands of dollars on rental vehicles. By the time we checked out our van was missing a cover for hanger hook and a tow bar hook cover was missing from the bumper. They did not originally offer discount or apologize for the extensions of estimated repair time. However, the owner did eventually follow up, and was very considerate. Thank you!
Excellent customer service!!! We were told by Auto Body USA that it would cost close to $1000 to fix our bumper that was hit in a parking lot. Dunshee buffed it out for free right on the spot. Joe the owner helped us and was kind, friendly and honest. I would definitely recommend Dunshee!
If you are told to come here by your auto insurance company, ask to go someplace else. This place is a rip off. Car was rear ended. You couldnt even tell anything was wrong with the car. However, yes, the impact bar was broken and the rear bumper as a whole needed to be replaced. BUT they tried to say the hatch needed to be replaced, too. They parted it out piece by piece: wiper, wiper motor, window, etc. All in all they said car was considered a loss. $4200 to fix it. The car is 2007, 74,000 miles. no rust, dents, problems, etc, car is in EXCELLENT condition. and with their estimate being so high, it was considered totalled. took it to another reputable auto body shop R&M and they are fixing it for about half the price - AND hatch didnt need to be replaced, just fix and paint the dent due to impact of bumper. There was no need to replace the wiper, wiper motor, window, since there was NO DAMAGE TO THE HATCH other than a minor dent. DUNSHEE is NOT a very honest business. They have not changed even over 10 yrs ago when another car was taken there due to insurance recommendations and they totalled that car, too. Took it to another auto business and they fixed it and insurance didnt total it. GO SOMEPLACE ELSE OR GET A 2ND OPINION BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
First visit: My vehicle was tagged by a salt truck and needed bumper and hood resprayed.Second visit: 3 dents and dings to be attended to and removed.Office staff-- friendly, quick and easy.Estimator-- Professional and efficient.Paint staff & PDR staff-- Flawless.Vehicle upon pick-up-- Clean inside & out, plastic floor mats (even over my weather-tech mats) and a Thank You card perched on the center of my dash.You folks EARNED my business for the future.Thanks.
Good work.... but they disassembled the damaged area before having the parts so my truck was laid up an extra week waiting for parts. If they had made sure they had parts first I could have just brought the truck back when they were able to fix it. Also, I’m in small business and understand prompt payment is important but I received two clarifications that payment was due in full or no truck back. The amount charged was in my estimation excessive but to top it off an addition supplimental charge was submitted to my insurance company, which thankfully they paid. This may be one of the reasons while insurance premiums are so high. I used this body shop because it’s a lease vehicle and the dealership recommended it. In previous years I’ve always used Carstar on Lovers Lane, friendy, fair, fast and the work is just as well done. Lesson learned.
I was driving through town and needed a plastic rocker cover reattached that day. After calling around for hours, they were the only shop that had availability to look at it. They repaired the plastic part, added it to my car and I was good to go. They gave me a fair price, they were able to work with me in my predicament, 10/10.
Avoid at all costs! They will low ball your estimate, disassemble your vehicle and then call you to report a bunch of new things they found that will cost you a ton more. If you refuse the extra charges, they will threaten to charge you labor costs to reassemble your vehicle. Bunch of scam artists here! Beware!

2022-02-27Had our truck stolen and wrecked, we took it there for the repairs and they did an amazing job. From working with the insurance company to the work on the truck was exceptional. I would use them again for any body work that I would need done.

2022-01-31Very high quality work overall. Attention to detail is about 9/10.Communication could use some work at about 6/10.After 2 experiences on 2 different occasions, I can say that I am very satisfied overall and I would not put my vehicle in any other shop.Would highly recommend to all friends and family.

2022-04-07Dunshee provided excellent service during the repair process, and did not hesitate to reach out when options were available to speed up the repair. They also helped with other needed repairs unrelated to the collision that only OEM repair centers can offer without having to visit a dealer. Very pleased with the one stop shop capability of this body shop!

2022-06-16After hitting a deer, I need to have the front end fixed. I was recommended to Dunshee by my dealer. Dunshee surpassed my expectations. Great place to work with

2022-06-10I have been a loyal customer of Dunshee body and frame since high school. I recently requested paintless dent repair for a Tesla model 3. I was informed that they do not repair Teslas in any way due to “warranty” concerns. Just a word of advice; electric vehicles are the future. You have lost a 15+ year customer for absolutely no reason. A Tesla door is the same as any other car door. I feel this is discriminatory against Tesla owners. You’ll only continue to thrive if you change with the times. Why not become the first Tesla certified shop in k-zoo?

2022-06-01Struck a deer and the next morning representative from Dunshee Auto Body called to inform me that they dont accept State Farm insurance! Said I have to find a State Farm authorized shop and that I owe a $310 towing bill before they will release the vehicle! Unbelievable, thanks Jake from State Farm!

2021-01-18I was involved in a small accident and my insurance recommended Dunshee, I gave it a try and I was not disappointed. Took my car there on Monday and got it back the next week. They were great and kept me informed the whole way. They did a great job and its as if the accident never happened. I definitely recommend.
