Tuesday the 4th (which also happened to be my birthday) was another difficult day of dealing with insurance companies, and Mr. Lucci said to me that he would call them himself and take care of things. He did, and saved me even more time and stress. That evening, I drove home, got my purse out of the passenger side, closed the door, and the side mirror panel fell right out of the rental car and onto the ground. I started to panic thinking about how I was going to have to deal with MORE insurance company mess, knowing that it hadn't been my fault (I had noted the first day that the side mirror electronics were not working, but it was more important to get to work at that point). I called Mr. Lucci, explained what happened (probably rather frantically, poor guy), and he said he would meet me at the rental car place the next day to make sure that the problems were smoothed over. He evidently called the place or arranged something, because I got there a little early the next day and the car rental place manager was extremely kind and understanding to my predicament, and they had already set me up with a Honda (I missed my Honda!). Mr. Lucci called to make sure I was okay and happy with the Honda later that evening since I had already taken care of the rental car before he showed up. Super. Hero.
Next, the drunk driver's insurance company only offered used and non-genuine Honda parts prices/reimbursement to Mr. Lucci (jerks). I was horrified, because I had just bought the car brand new, and I already knew the insurance company was going to try and screw me over. However, Mr. Lucci did the legwork of finding Honda genuine parts from dealers and having them match or get close to the insurance company prices. He even used the money the insurance company gave him to tow my car to his shop to cover the difference in cost for the Honda genuine parts, because he is a good person and knew I couldn't afford to cover the difference. Mr. Lucci called me on several occasions to keep me in the loop of what was going on at all times. Insurance delayed work being started by almost a week, but they ordered parts as soon as they could and jumped into working on the car quickly.
Once Mr. Lucci's shop started work, they found even more damage, and he called the drunk driver's insurance company back out to give estimates/reimbursement for the additional parts. Again, they shorted him on parts prices, but he found a way to get me Honda parts. I am eternally grateful for this, and I already was overjoyed and satisfied with everything he was doing.
I was hoping to have my car in time to go to see family over the holidays, and let Mr. Lucci know that I was hoping to drive my Honda down to NC. On Friday, the 21st, I called and they were trying to finish the car up that night so I could leave at 6 am on the 22nd to get a head start on holiday traffic. They called me at 7:45 pm that Friday night saying the car was ready, and I rushed on over there excited to be getting my car back. I found that they were having a company Christmas party all through the garage with about a hundred people, and that they had worked late while the party had already started at the garage to ensure that my car was ready that night. There were lots of nice and friendly people everywhere - I quickly found Mr. Lucci and he invited me to stay and have food with them! I still had not finished packing, so I sadly had to decline, but I will not forget how kind and gracious he and his workers were that day to make sure that I was set for the road, delaying their fun so that they could take care of a customer. What wonderful folks! Not to mention, my Honda looks perfect and drives like new again! They provided me with plenty of paperwork describing and explaining all of the work that they completed, and left none of my questions unanswered.
Mr. Lucci personally walked me to my car, and looked it over with me, got me settled, and then took care of the rental car, calling them the next day to pick it up! He even called me several times afterwards to make sure everything was okay with the car. I wasn't able to return his call last week (yes, he called me in the middle of January to make sure that the car was still driving okay since the alignment had been affected) because I had caught the flu that has been going around like wildfire. I'm going to call him as soon as my voice is back and tell him that I finally finished this review! Of all the crummy things that happened last year (this was the second car accident, the first I was injured badly), Mr. Lucci was a bit of an angel for me. Thanks so much, Mr. Lucci!
For ANYONE needing a caring, thoughtful, highly detailed and thorough garage for collision/body work, Lucci's Collision is the best place to call.
The repairs took a week to complete; when the job was done, the car looked like new.
Part of the work was covered by insurance. Mr. Lucci and a representative of my insurance company (Progressive) had independently examined the car to estimate the cost of repairs. Their estimates coincided almost to the dollar.
UPDATE: Our car was hit again in April of 2013 - this time rear ended by a pickup truck on the parkway. We had an even better experience the second time around. They went above and beyond, calling the insurance adjuster to get them to come out ASAP to look at the car and get us a rental car and once again the work they did was excellent. I highly recommend this shop!
