Went in for an estimate to find out my issue couldnt be resolved there, which was no problem. Since they helped and explained what exactly Id need to do and what to be aware of with insurance. Will definitely go back if I need anything done again.

CARSTAR couldnt have been kinder, more efficient or more wonderful honestly! They made the stress of a car accident feel so much less stressful in all ways and actually downright easy, including helping coordinate a nearby rental car effortlessly (free transportation!). HIGHLY recommend!!!!

I would have given a 5 star but I got pretty frustrated with the receptionist. On the phone it seemed like it was a bother to answer the phone and seemed short. But in person she was great.To my truck, they did great work then some. Drop off and pick up was very simple. I would definitely take my vehicle there again.

Having my car repaired here made the nightmare of getting rear ended on the freeway almost bearable. The communication between the shop and my husband on the status of repairs and updates were welcome. My car looks better than brand new. Excellent job all around.

Cory, Mark and Alex along with the rest of their team members are alway so professional. I’ve taken my Mercedes, Porsche and Sequoia to them over the years and I have nothing but great things to say about them. There workmanship is impeccable and professionalism is top of the line. I wouldn’t take my vehicles any other place. I highly recommend them. DBC

Brent was prompt and courteous when he called to schedule my damage estimate. Mark did an excellent job on my write-up. Mark let me know what repairs would be done and gave me a reasonable time frame for completion. Alex was nice every time I called. The team at Exhibition did a great job on my vehicle and completed way ahead of schedule. I will always recommend Exhibition Automotive Carstar to all of my family, friends, and clients!

This shop is on a list for my insurance company to send vehicles to for repairs. The tow truck driver was beginning to unload the vehicle and somone came out, yelled at the towtruck driver said he was to booked, didnt have room. He then threatened to have my vehicle towed. The vehicle was alsp approved to be checked out with the shop. Whole situation has been unpleasant.

“Exhibition Automotive CarStar” did a fantastic job on our repair. The service was very timely and for a fair price. Both Jeff and Mark were a pleasure to work with, very professional. I highly recommend the establishment for auto body repairs.

Exhibition Automotive is the very best Ive used. On my insurance companys preferred repair list and they had better prices on their estimates than the other recommended shops. Ive been back since, even after pulling a boneheaded move and backing into my mail box - they were affordable for a small out of pocket repair. Always prompt and super nice team, it shows when the whole crew seems to enjoy their work, especially their nice front counter workers and the tech too.

Went here to get my car fixed after being rear-ended and they did an amazing job fixing it. I believe his name was Mark, he was super kind and explained everything clearly. Also the girl who answers the phone is very nice she helped me set up the appointment and everything. Definitely recommend this place! :)

Pros-Was involved in a head on accident and my insurance company recommended CARSTAR for the repairs to my car. My experience was wonderful . They took a stressful situation and made it so easy.. The work looks good, my Mdx looks brand new again. It was freshly vacuumed and washed. Dave was totally up front, transparent, knowledgeable and professional. He kept me informed of every step.Cons-When picking car I only looked at the damaged from accident, didn’t notice the driver door till after I got home . Not sure what happened but fresh tiny hole like paint chips all over the front of my door. It Wasn’t door dings was more like some kind of tools or something of that sort. Im disappointed in self and shop…please inspect the whole car before and after work is done before leaving.

Super friendly and helpful receptionist. Mark was great with keeping me updated on my repair claim. The only thing that would have made it better is if they would have added a bit of fuel when it was ready to be picked up. Low fuel light was on and needle was not even showing any movement when started.I would recommend them to anyone needing body work.

This body shop was recommended by my insurer, and Im very pleased with the result! They fixed some very slight damage on my rear bumper and it looks good as new. Also washed the car, which I appreciate. The staff was great! Friendly and professional. Would strongly consider them again if I ever need auto body help in the future.

Everyone was super nice, and very professional at Exhibition Automotive, Kent. Moriah and Alex were very kind and courteous throughout my transaction, from drop off, until I picked my car up.

Review №27

I was referred to Exhibition Carstar by my insurance company. From the first call to Alex the receptionist to the immediate response by Cory with a same day estimate, as well as the follow through on ordering parts, scheduling & finally, completion. Everything was completed with the highest quality and excellent communication and....wait for it.....YES ahead of schedule!!! Whaaaaat? That never happens right? But not with these guys. Fair prices, quality workmanship, excellent communication, ahead of schedule & on budget...what more could you ask for?

Review №28

I was rear ended on 6/7/21From the second I called and spoke to the gal at the front desk, Alex (hopefully I spelled it correctly), and met Mark for the initial adjustment I knew I would be in good hands.Alex was extremely helpful in helping me schedule dropping off my car and answering any other questions I had.Mark had my mind at ease and was very knowledgeable in what needed to be fixed on my car and was very upfront about the repairs and the time it would take. He also was prompt in calling me to update me of any further damage they had found.Both Alex and Mark were extremely helpful in arranging a rental car for me and were more than accommodating in helping me drop it offI am very OCD and protective of my car so knowing Id have to leave it somewhere other than my home for a few nights was extremely nerve wracking. Mark was extremely understanding and non judgmental about this and did everything to put my mind at ease.Another concern was I would be stuck at work long after their business hours. I called and both alex and mark explained that would be no problem and that they would leave my car out front with the keys locked in the console.I was shocked when I picked up the car; not only had they washed the car but cleaned the entire INSIDE (vacuumed and wiped down). They even wrapped my key in tin foil to prevent any security threats of theft. I was beyond impressedHonestly my wrx was looking better than it did prior to the accident. The quality of the work was perfectly done and no trace of the accident remained.I would never wish upon anyone where they are in a situation where they have to look for a collision repair shop. But if they are I highly recommend carstar exhibition motors in kent!Thank you guys!

I have used EA twice now and they have more than proven themselves so have become my go-to shop. They listen closely and work hard to exceed expectations and do just that, even including a wash and vacuum before pick-up. So yes, I highly recommend Exhibition Automotive in Kent, WA.

Review №37

Paint on the front bumper is starting to lift and peel after 5 months meaning..A - Extremely poor prep work gone wrong.B- Highly inexperienced painters, blend work is very visible even from a distance. Prep work should have been top priority, ended up having the whole car vinyl wrapped due to the look, would not reccomended anything to this place and if your forced, might as well say goodbye, your car will never look the same again.

This is the first ever experience of myself having to get services of repair on my car. From the second I came in they made me feel welcome. The process hassle free. A wait time no longer than 5 minutes and they will always give me updates of what’s happening, and they worked with USAA. With getting everything processed and they brought back my dealership look to my car. Just amazing.

Although I wasn’t able to get my car fixed due to unforeseen circumstances they took care of me. I was able to keep my car there for 7 days after the visual inspection until I could my car towed home. They didn’t charge me any storage fees and made sure my car was in a safe place. Alex and Cory were the two I had communicated with and they were very professional!

Highly recommend taking any sort of nice or somewhat sporty car, didnt get me the right parts, parts they did install were not done correctly. Couldnt even put splash guards back properly, in all honesty, it felt like autozone worked on my car.

Review №48

My car got rear ended so I took it to Carstar in Kent for a quote. Cory was VERY polite and thorough in explaining the process of fixing the rear end of the car and communicating with the insurance company on the expense side of things. Throughout the process of dropping the car off til when it was completed, Carstar was very good at sending updates on the status of the car. Additionally, Carstar fixed my car several days ahead of the estimated completion date, and had also washed and cleaned out the exterior and interior of the car when I picked it up. Carstar went above and beyond my expectation and I would definitely have their service again! Definitely satisfied with their work!

Review №58

Okay shop, adequate repairs but not the best at sourcing parts, both the ez lip that was replaced / reinstalled has already fallen off after 3 months, ( my previous one I installed myself lasted over a year) my guess is the surface was not prepped properly or some other issue .Next was the center cap for a rim, not a big deal but again, they obvisouly were not gloss black, there were matt black and when I mention it there wasnt a care in the world, said thats all they could get, ended up just reordering and replacing them myself that same night. All in all, 3/5 experience.

Review №61

I have used done business with this firm several times. The work done is generally good. Im not sure that I will be back due to overlooked damage that was not repaired. When I pointed out the damage that had not been repaired, the business representative that was showing the repaired car to us suggested that the remaining damage was not part of the accident and that they were not responsible to repair it. I refused the delivery of the car and left the facility with the feeling that my word had been questioned. Not a good feeling. Almost a week later the insurance company confirmed that the remaining damage was part of the job to repair the car. Exhibition Automotive called a few days later to have us pick up the fully repaired car. Since the insurance company goes by the photos and comments of the repair facility, I was put into the position of arguing to get the job done when they missed part of the damage and then argued that it was not their responsibility.

Kept me updated on the progress on my car and of the additional damage that was found once the bumper was removed. They kept in contact with my insurance so I did not have issues when I needed to extend my rental car. All around great experience.

Fantastic experience with these folks. Cory was what I liked to call my “car guy” who updated me on everything that was going on. My car was crashed before the holidays and they did such great work in just under 30 days through Christmas and New Years and had my car completely clean & a Starbucks gift card for me. Great down to earth people at this location! So happy with their work. :)

First visit:- Multiple paint defects.- Overspray in multiple places.- Body panels/tailgates have big gaps, uneven, tilted, etc.- Loose weather paneling/ broken clips.- Dusty interior.- Water in the interior not dried.Second visit warranty repair:- Multiple paint defects again.- Overspray in multiple places still.- Body panels/tailgates have big gaps, not fixed again.- Loose weather paneling, still present.- Dusty interior, even worse the second time.Took the car to Exhibition Automotive CARSTAR in Kent WA, to do warranty work, they failed to fix all that I asked; Told me it was done, but upon checking only partial paint defects were fixed.Asked they try repairing again for the 3rd time, was told It is what it is and they would not honor their warranty.

Its my second time I had a deal with CARSTAR Exhibition in Kent to repair my car after a collision. This is the BEST repair shop in King County. They demonstrated exceptional, courteous, and professional customer service from the first minutes of my phone conversation, and then in person at all levels of their professional staff. The estimation of damaged areas and explanation of repair services were very professional, detailed, truthful, without any additional findings. Rendered repair service was speedy with a high-quality of performed work. The process of helping me to get a rental car was super easy. Their office is very cozy and modern. Finally, CARSTAR expressed their appreciation to me as a valuable customer through a complimentary cleaning of my Rogue Sport inside and outside carefully and gave me a Starbucks gift card. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business to everyone.

Excellent work on my vehicle. Only complaint is that every time I spoke with them (granted I received excellent service and thorough explanations) I was the one who initiated contact. I didnt receive a call from the shop, although they were apologetic. Again, everyone treated us kindly and the work was great, just wished they communicated often with the progress and not wait for me to reach out.

Outstanding service, excellent work. Even though I had another shop do the work the first time Jeff and his team took their time to properly explain exactly how the repair process per Ford aluminum bedside repair specs. Which the other company did not. My truck needed some rework and Jeff and his team went absolutely above and beyond. I’m so impressed and pleased with the finished product I brought them my other car that needed work. I will only use Jeff and his team for all future body work. Absolutely outstanding team. Thank you all who helped me.

Exhibition CARSTAR in Kent is PHENOMENAL!!! They go the extra mile every step of the way. I had my car hit dead on and was initially given a quote of $900 from the shady insurance company (Bluefire insurance/ AFA claims) of the other driver, which clearly wasn’t enough if you saw the damage.I took my vehicle in to CARSTAR and Travis L. did an amazing job fighting the estimate and submitting thorough supplemental claims to get my car back to 100%. They successfully fought for $5,000 worth of damage to my vehicle and restored her to her original beauty, she looks brand new! I did not have to pay a single cent in my repair. In addition to my car repair, Travis took an additional step to call my claim adjuster and to fight him on my rental car bill, which amounted to $3,000 due to the insurance company dragging their feet about approving necessary supplemental claims. They initially only wanted to pay $600 towards the bill, but after getting contacted by Travis, they nearly agreed to cover the entire $3,000 bill!!My highest recommendations for auto body repair will always land at Exhibition Automotive in Kent. They are professional, courteous, and are certainly the best in the you area. You will not regret taking your vehicle here!

During my long life I have had some accidents requiring that my vehicles be repaired. I have generally been satisfied with the quality of work I received. But CarStar Exhibition Automotive has given me a whole new level of Customer satisfaction. I was struck by a Postal Service vehicle causing damage to the right side of my car. USPS required two bids to fix the damages. On the recommendation of a close friend I was led to CarStar. I met a man named Cory there and he gave me a thorough review and estimate. The other body shop missed several things that I had to ask them to go back and look at. CarStar gave me a completion date and met it. Along the way I received both emails and phone calls updating me. Every single member of their staff was professional and courteous every time I had a question. I hope I never have occasion to require their services in the future but if I did they would be my first pick hands down!
