I decided to call Vogel, which I'd used in the past for other vehicles, and they immediately put me at ease. They made me feel important, and taken care of right from the start. After asking me a few questions, Gene - the service person I worked with - told me over the phone that he was concerned about my safety in my present vehicle, because the collision with the truck had crushed my headlight. "We'll get you a loaner, so that I can look at that headlight. Whatever else is wrong with your car, we can at least fix up that headlight for now." This was even before I agreed to give them my business. I drove to Vogel, and they gave me the keys to a brand new Chevy Impala (far nicer than my own car). They said I could use it for the next few days while they took a good look at my car and developed an estimate for the repairs. It didn't matter that I'd need to drive their car to work and back (120 mile round trip) every day. Just return it with the same amount of gas. It took them almost a week to get me the estimate (it's a busy place). I didn't mind because I was having fun driving that Impala. When I got my insurance company's approval (Vogel's estimate was about $300 lower than my dealer's), Vogel couldn't fit me in to actually do the repairs on my car for another three weeks. This meant I had to drive my bashed in vehicle for a little longer. But what Vogel had done while examining my car was make it safe and presentable. They fixed the headlight and punched out the worst of the dents. They had also washed off all the mud and salt from Wisconsin's horrible winter highways. They loaned me another nice Impala while they did the repairs, which cost about $3,500. When I got my little Elantra back, I was thrilled. It was gorgeous. Like new. It looked better than it had before the accident. Both the outside and inside (which they must have vacuumed) looked immaculate. They gave me a little handout for taking care of the new paint job. Don't go through any car washes for a month or so, etc. I have fallen in love with my car all over again, and I owe this to Vogel's great work. They sure know what they are doing when it comes to auto body work. They also know how to provide great customer service. They made me feel valuable. My dealer, a much larger shop, could take a few lessons from this locally owned shop in Kiel.

In this case my wife called right after her little accident and I had her drive it over to Brookfield auto - if it could not have been driven I would have called for Brookfield to come tow it (free service). I called my insurance company (Safco ? a good insurance company) and they went out to appraise the car. They worked with the manager at the shop to determine the damage and decided not to totals the car (a near thing). Brookfield auto represented my well in this conversation - rejecting a request to find used parts for some of the work. I appreciated this as used parts would have seriously compromised the quality of the repair. Once the repair plan was established Brookfield Auto proceeded to use their body shop and larger service shop (all located within 5 miles) to do the work. I was kept informed of the progress and I visited the car once. I was able to talk with the crew doing the work and the owner. I was very pleased with the experience. I marked them down on Quality and Punctuality because I am a stickler for grading. In my business excellence is a hard thing to achieve. One item had to be brought back for additional work (alarm system) and the original date was missed due to a parts availability problem. Having said all this - please be aware that Brookfield Auto does indeed stand out as a good alternative for service on your car. BUT - this is very much buyers beware market. Even the good shops, like Brookfield Auto, are moving a lot of vehicles in and out every day. There is not a lot of time for in depth analysis. Mistakes can be made because assumptions are left unchallenged. Anyone taking a car in anywhere for work really needs to force a detailed discussion on options and expected out comes."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/brookfield/brookfield-auto-care-reviews-234808.htm"},"position":8},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Duff Painting Co","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"WI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Frank A."},"reviewBody":"As a doctor and professor, I appreciate a thoughtful and timely approach.

Staff arrived when promised and completed the repair competently and professionally. Cleaned up the work area and removed exterior door. I'll use W7 Construction Services again in the future.
these guys are the best. Took care of the entire problem, that involved many internal and external repairs and mold removal. They also helped me to get insurance payments.

"In todays fast paced world, it is hard to find people we can trust and to wonder when we purchase something ,whether or not we are going to get a quality product for what we are paying for. I had been looking around to purchase some new windows for several years, but when I always heard quotes on the cost I was unwilling to take the leap. One day, upon hearing a quote of what the windows I wanted replaced would cost me from their sales rep., I took that leap. It was a no brainer. With such a great price, now I wondered if i was going to get quality for what I was paying. I have to tell you I was delighted to see the final results of my beautiful new windows. Not only were all the people I spoke with in this company kind and respectful, but they also helped me set up financing as well. Great Company, Really Good People, Quality Product and Service!"

FAQs for countertop repair projects in Kiel, WI
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
