Having never used a body shop before, I was very impressed with the simplicity and professionalism of Rife’s. They updated me along the way via text on my vehicle’s progress. Body work and paint on my vehicle were seamless. Would definitely recommend.
After someone hit my front bumper on my new 2020 Tesla model S, I contacted Tesla for the repair and they referred me to Rife’s Auto Body as a certified Tesla repair shop. They made my car like new again. They even coordinated everything with the insurance, Tesla, and replaced the protective covering film I had on the bumper and head light.
Rife did an excellent job of communication throughout the process and went to bat against my insurance company. Really happy with the work and professionalism. Thanks Connor Turk.
Rife’s always does good work.They need to work on informing the customers more often about the vehicle. Not communicative enough with the time frame and what is being done
Rife’s repairs to my Tesla after an accident are perfect. They kept me in the loop via text messages. The amount of time it took to get the car back was a bit longer than expected, but the quality repair was worth it.
The initial experience while dealing with pricing between insurance company and the body shop was bad. I was asked to foot a bill of about $6000 inspite of being fully covered. If i hadnt stood my ground I would have been responsible for the bill . The Body shop should have been more helpful from the beginning. Only at a later stage did the manager get involved and got things moving. Also the car was in the body shop for 3 MONTHS which is lot of time for the damage my car had. apart from delay in shipping issues, one of the repair guy was gone for more than a week for a workshop delaying the process and me having to pay for the rental car that i have . Charging $150/ hr initially, for paint unlike other tesla approved shops is also not right.Handling insurance payment issues, delay in repair, charging exceedingly above average pricing for paint, at . All these were problems. Apart from this the repair itself, communication about updates and personal experience at the work shop get top marks.
My brand new Jeep got rear ended 2 weeks after I purchased. Frame was bent, bumper messed up, some dents on side panel. Rife’s did an amazing job with my Jeep, and making it look brand new. The employees were great to work with and keeping me updated on the process. I would highly recommend Rife’s.
Connor wash great yo deal with. Kept me informed even when there was a slight delay. Quality second to none!
The shop itself does excellent work and they’re quick! This was the second time I’ve used this shop and the first time I dealt with Al, he was fabulous from the start and the reason I returned. However my second visit I wasn’t impressed with the office staff. There was lack of communication from Grace. It would’ve been appreciated if she was courteous and sent a follow up email confirming the appointment upon receiving paperwork. Also keeping me updated along the progress of my vehicle would’ve been a nice gesture; not just a call stating my vehicle was ready for pickup. Upon picking up my vehicle Makenzie had a slight attitude towards me and not sure why. It doesn’t matter if you have a bad day or not you’re still doing a customer service job and should treat people with respect.
Excellent service from helping with insurance claim thru pick up of finished van
Rife’s was recommended to me by my parents who have been taking their cars there for years. Unfortunately my experience with them was not what I was expecting.My car was hit by another vehicle and needed repairs to the back bumper and I said on multiple occasions that my alignment was off and pulling to the right due to the accident. The representative we were assigned ordered parts before confirming with us how much we were willing to pay out of pocket if the insurance company did not increase their estimate, we had to call and ask for an update and then get him to cancel the parts ( we were about 2,000.00 apart on what insurance was saying they would cover at that time) we finally agreed to no more than 250.00 out of pocket for all repairs listed in their assessment - which included an alignment - when I picked up my car I was told that we actually wouldn’t have to pay anything out of pocket and they had gotten the insurance to come up and cover the full amount of the repairs. When I got in my car and drove off my car was still pulling to the right and my steering wheel was shaking so bad on the highway it was hard to control. I immediately called back and was told that in fact the alignment ( and who knows what else ) was removed from the final agreement with the insurance company and it might be a quote “ fluke” that it started right after my car was rear ended. I was told I would have to take my car to a dealership to get it assessed and see if insurance would cover it and they quote “ didn’t deem it unsafe so they did not contact me to ask if I wanted it fixed” it seems clear to me no one at the shop bothered to drive my car and do a full inspection of my frame - I was told only a visual inspection was done - I’m hoping that all that is wrong is an alignment but after my experience I’m unsure if things have been repaired or evaluated properly.I am now getting my car aligned at another shop and will not be taking my car into Rife’s in the future. I’m still so amazed that they would let me drive off in a car that was not fully repaired and said nothing about it to me.
Rife’s Autobody and Conner specifically did a great job on the repairs my AudiTT 2013. Rife’s is an outstanding body shop and the people are friendly. Outstanding service!
Super nice and great communication. These folks are top notch and high quality work. Stellar business!
Quick friendly scheduling via phone and great customer service and quick estimate at the shop!
Rifes did an excellent job with my 2014 Ford Explorer after it was involved in an accident with a careless driver. They worked with my insurance company and kept me up to date with the status of repairs. The truck was close to a total but they managed to put it back together and it looks better than when I bought it. The quality of the repairs were first rate and they matched the paint perfectly. You cant tell the vehicle was ever in an accident. I want to thank Garrick and Conner for their professional work and attention to detail. 10/10 will recommend to others.
Rife’s came through in the clutch and offered fast, excellent service on my car after I needed a window repair. Conner was extremely helpful in assisting with the process from handling the insurance company to providing daily updates on the progress of the repair. He was very knowledgeable and he made me feel confident that everything was taken care of, which was the case. Like everyone, I hate having to get my car repaired but if I have to do it, Rife’s is the place to go. Take your car there and ask for Conner. You won’t regret it!
I appreciate Rife’s attention to detail at every step of the process. The detailing inside and out is at the highest level of quality. My Honda HR-V looks like the day I brought it home from the dealership. The individuals I worked with explained every step of the process and worked seamlessly with Nationwide. The entire Rife’s team’s customer service was Best in Class!I’ve had my vehicle in for bodywork 3 times due to fender benders and each time they’ve bent over backwards to help me out and even ribbed me about having my vehicle in yet again!The name of the man who walked me through the process name is escaping me.I hope I never have to see you guys again, but if I do, it is comforting to know I’ve got an organization that will guide me through the entire process and that I’ll be pleased with the final product.
They really are the best for luxury vehicles. I’ve used them twice - one on a Tesla and the other on a Range Rover. They do it right and with pride. They had a great relationship with the insurer which is important. I would definitely use them again!
Rides made it so easy for me to get my side panels painted. they gave me a ruff estimate at a car meet that was like maby 2 bucks off actually. allowed me to drop the parts off at the car wash due to my schedule. and did the job in a timely manor as well as go above and beyond on quality. the peices turned out amazing.
Went for a quick quote for a small fender bender. The associate was pleasant and fast with the quote.
Little longer than expected, but the quality of work was excellent.
Rife’s was fantastic to work with and continued to give me updates daily on my car and the repair status. They had great customer service as well.
Connor and Team are absolutely phenomenal. Cannot recommend them enough!
I couldn’t be happier with Rife’s!!! My daughter gets the credit for finding them. She used them 6 mos. prior... so when I happened to get in a fender bender in Columbus (I live in Akron) she highly recommended them.They were awesome! Kept me very informed about what was going on with my car... I was never in the dark & they were patient with me in the fact that it took me a minute to get back down to Columbus to pick my car up after it was finished.AWESOME COMPANY!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Job done very professionally and at less than the estimate.
Rifes was helpful throughout the whole process.Eventhough the the other partys insurance was being unreasonable with me and Rifes,Rifes always had my back.Thanks and would do business with you anytime.
Rife’s Autobody is a very responsive and professional company. I would especially recommend to anyone who likes timely updates on their repairs. Special thanks to Conner!
They were amazing every step of the way. Kept me up to date on what was going on and my car looked good as new when I picked it up. They were all incredibly nice and I’ll be going back there if I even need them again.
I strongly recommend Rifes’s! From the time I walked in, The First Impression Specialist had my rental waiting and checked me quickly. Garrick walked me through next steps, and communicated with me on a regular basis regarding the progress. The insurance company of the person who hit our BMW was not a good one. Needless to say they were attempting to put after market parts back on the car. Randy at Rife’s Autobody would not settle for that! He got his way. The car looks fantastic! This team makes you a top priority and won’t settle for anything less than a perfect repair. I’m a customer for life.
Great job — price was less than estimate
Repair of rear quarter panel. Exceeded our expectations for quality and adhered to estimate from insurance company. Took 7 weeks which was long but despite this, we would use again.
No collision event is a happy time. That said I am almost happy i got to deal with AI at Rifes.I was hit and run 700 miles from home in a private parking lot in a no fault state and the although I ran down the offender on foot in traffic and she admitted then and gave me insurance into she denied later and had to fight with her.All that said AI was patient and professional and always a smooth part of the process. He dealt with both insurance companies and made sure my Audi was fixed right with OEM parts. He kept me updated every time he got a green light to move forward.No doubt on Earth why they are Audi certified, MAG referred me, and their lot is full of customers premium brand cars
Someone hit my 2016 VW Golf with a box truck, and I was referred to this ship by MAG VW in Dublin. Their work was great, like nothing ever happened to my car.The people I interacted with were very friendly and told me exactly what they did when I came to pick it up. Although, I wish they would have contacted me more with updates as they were repairing it.Ill definitely recommend this shop to anyone with a VW, as it is also the only certified VW body shop in central OH.
Tesla Model 3 had damage to driver side rear quarter panel. Car has been restored to pristine condition. They did a fantastic job on the car and made it perfect again.The whole process was very slow, and I think this is mainly Tesla’s issue. It took several weeks for insurance, then a month for parts to be delivered and finally a month to get the repairs done.Throughout the process they kept in close communication with texts which was very nice. I highly recommend Rife’s for the quality of their work and professionalism.
The service representatives and manager were very professional and they maintained contact with me throughout the process. The work on my vehicle was impeccable and I am very pleased. Thank you Jon.
I am very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and how my services were handled from start to finish. The technicians stayed in touch with me via text and email, which gave me a real peace of mind throughout the time they had my Infiniti. My car was beautifully restored. Thank you Rifes!
I absolutely cannot be more pleased with the job they did. My car was the object of a hit and run in a parking lot and it looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Thank you Rife’s autobody. What a terrific team.
Rife’s was very professional and communicated with me every step of the way. They also took on the painful process of haggling with the insurance company to make sure I did not receive after-market parts.
They always do a thorough Inspection and high quality work on the vehicle . I’ve worked with them a couple of times now. I’m very particular about who works on my car and I feel comfortable and please with Rife’s work. The only challenge was the communication between the shop and the insurance company. It’s not the shop’s fault but the insurance company creates delay in processing payment that could delay your pickup after the repairs. There has to be more close communication so both parties have the correct expectations for repairs finish date and payment allocation.
My insurance company wound up totaling out my car, so I cant honestly speak to the quality of the work. But they were helpful and prompt to communicate both with me and with the insurance company! Would definitely recommend.
I had a passenger side mirror and housing to be replaced. Original estimate included the cost to paint housing when it arrived. When I went to have it installed the charge was $120 LESS because the housing came prepainted. I would have never known that but Rifes lowered the bill anyway. Thats INTEGRITY!! KUDOS to Rifes - Thanks
Conner went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He kept me updated through text messages or phone calls from start to finish. The work looks amazing! You could never tell my Porsche was in an accident.
Excellent experience, they are quick to reply to questions, super professional, high quality work, and kept me updated via text message every day during my repairs which was very much appreciated. Took care of everything with the insurance company so I didn’t have to do anything except drop off and pick up the car. Would definitely use Rife again.
Drove my A6 safely for 6 months with very slight hood and front bumper damage. Took it in after getting tired of seeing the damage. Initially quoted $7,500. Insurance quoted $3,200.For absolutely no good reason they removed my whole headlight on both sides. They had zero damage, and I never mentioned anything about them needing any work. They managed to break the clips that hold the headlights into place, and therefore needed to replace the whole assembly on both sides. $1,740 per headlight assembly.Also claimed my supercharger radiator needed replaced. I had just serviced the supercharger. If something were wrong with the temperature I would have known.The updated quote was over $12,000! Obviously totaling my perfectly fine car. A car I just spent $4,000 on so that the motor would easily last another 125,000 miles.They told me after, Oh we can actually fabricate a headlights clip and not have to replace them. Updated quote of $7,700. Except, we cant do that with insurance, wed still have to bill them for headlights. BS! Acted like I had a choice. Car was nearly paid off and Im forced to settle for a worse car for 5 more years of payments.They wouldnt even do the bare minimum in putting the damaged, but OK parts I drove the car in with, and let me take it home or anywhere else. Safety. BS! They basically stole my car. Will never bring another car here, and will tell everyone I know to stay the heck away!BTW Rifes is one of only two Audi Certified body shops in Columbus. Please give Byers a shot first. Your ownership of your car may depend on it!
I’ve been here twice for minor body damage on my Tesla Model 3 and both times it has been a positive experience.
They were wonderful about keeping us up-to-date on exactly what process the car was in. It was so helpful to have these updates to know when the car would be ready. They also worked with our insurance company which took the load off of us. It was direct contact between them and our agent. They went to bat for us and got everything handled. It was a truly great experience.
Good communication. Excellent service. Thank you Jon and all
We had cut rate insurance that tried to cut corners ever where imaginable and then some! Rife really went to bat for us! Not only did they get the insurance to do the right thing but they went far and beyond our expectations! We are business owners ourselves so we for once were on the other end of a business transaction that made us feel like the client came 1st and that nothing else mattered but our satisfaction. I can promise you this. We will NEVER take our vehicles anywhere else for as long as we are in the area then Rifes! Their business came with class in a timely manner with impeccable work! I promise youd be doing you and your family a disservice if you took your vehicle anywhere else!Respectfully,Scott & Lynn Cowgill
Thank you for taking such good care of my Impreza. Jon did a masterful job of shepherding the job through several parts delays and I am completely satisfied with the work I received.Thank you again!
I have taken my car there twice now to have it repaired. They always do a quality job.
I could not be more pleased with my service at Rife’s. Connor worked with the insurance company and communicated the entire process by sending updates every few days. Everyone in the shop was professional and kind. There were no surprises upon picking up my vehicle and my car looked better than it did pre-accident. I feel confident that my car was fixed right and I highly recommend choosing Rife’s.
Friendly and knowledgeable about my car
Rifes was amazing to work with and really went above and beyond my expectations! Not only were they extremely friendly and patient with me while answering all my questions, Connor kept me updated throughout the whole process. They took a hectic and confusing situation, and made it so much easier and less stressful, helping to put my mind at ease! And my new bumper looks amazing! Great team all around, and will definitely use them again if its needed.
Heath and the Rife Auto Body crew went above and beyond my expectations. I didnt have to worry about anything. They were friendly, professional and did an excellent job on my car. I couldnt be more happier with the service!!
Conner was great about keeping me updated on the progress of my car repairs and coordinating with the insurance company. I have a really old car—1993 Honda Prelude—so sourcing parts for it proved to be a bit of a challenge. Rife’s rose to the occasion, though, and my car looks beautiful. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much for your hard work!
Rife’s took care of everything. They handled the insurance company that was paying for the repair and made certain that Allstate covered everything to bring my car back to 100%. Rife’s kept me informed of the repair progress every step of the way. This was the first time I ever handled an accident repair situation. Rife’s team made it as easy as possible. And they stand behind their work. I totally recommend them.
Rife’s was very professional, thorough and trustworthy. They took care of all my back and forth communication with the insurance agency and were excellent at sending me texts and keeping me updated on my car’s status. When I picked up my car, it was spotless on the outside and immaculate on the inside! They did a great job during the process with my difficult paint color. My car is 100% good as, it better than, new.
Over the top customer service and quality of work! This is a company that gets it when it comes to your vehicle and fights for what is right for their customer. Their technicians returned my car back to me in perfect condition. Their front office staff is hard working, was in constant communication with me and very helpful. They gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time. Rife’s is #1 in my book.
They worked very hard to get my insurance company to pay what is needed to fix it properly
Went to get stuff out of my car because it was totaled, but they never told the insurance the car was good to go until I called the insurance.
Poor communication. Took a full week to finish estimate for insurance company. Had truck far longer then necessary. Work was fine
12/10 would recommend. Excellent customer service and quick responses! They did everything in their power to get my repairs done in a timely manner and dealt with the hassle that was the insurance company.
Very professional, thorough with attention to details. Staff kept me informed throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend
Rife’s is the go-to body shop in Columbus. They do quality work and can be trusted. I appreciate the quick communication and professionalism of the entire staff!
Rife’s did excellent work on my Tesla Model 3 Performance. Garrett and Conner were professionals and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them to family and friends.
Through out the whole process of repairing my car, they were very transparent and easy to be reached about anything.
I had the best experience with Rife’s in Grandview. I had never been in a car accident before and my insurance company was a bare to communicate with. Pam and Connor were amazing! They answered all of my questions and took care of things quickly. They were professional and had great customer service! The body work done on my car is fantastic- it looks like new! They even cleaned my car after repairs so the inside looked just as great as the outside. I wish I’d never been in an accident, but I had a great experience with Rife’s and they’ve gained a customer for life!
Rife’s staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I was kept informed through each stage of work I was having done and my jeep came back looking brand new both inside and outside!
I have taken my car to Rife’s twice, and both times the service was impeccable. My car looks brand new, you would never know there was any damage to it and it’s beautifully detailed inside and out. Conner was amazing at keeping me up to date on the process with the insurance company, as well as the progress of my vehicle. The entire staff is pleasant, professional, and so easy to work with. I will never take my car anywhere else. I highly recommend Rife’s!
Superior quality and service. Came highly recommended, and could not disagree with the recommendation at all. Could not be happier with their performance.
Really helpful and updated me on my repair and issues with my insurance. Great guys to work with! Also explained the parts and service complete. It looks great. Only issue I had was I had metal in my tire after repair but wasnt an issue to have that fixed so no complaints.
Excellent work, tip quality. Staff all extremely courteous and professional.
Had a front bumper replaced and repainted and the job was executed extremely well. Very happy with the quality of the work and also the quality of the people throughout the entire process at Rife’s. Highly recommended.
I had my Jeep Grand Cherokee broken into (side window smashed). Garrick did a great job getting my car in that day to cover the window while they could order a replacement. Awesome quality work on the replacement window once it arrived.
Awesome service and great customer care. Jon was patient and caring. He addressed our questions/concerns honestly and on time and also ensured a timely delivery.
Rife’s responded right away to my repair inquiry & got us in within a reasonable amount of time. The body work was going through insurance & Rifes was very upfront with me about the process and how long they would have my vehicle. They kept me updated every step of the way. My car was ready in the allotted time. Super friendly people!! Highly recommend.
Not only were they respectful and courteous, they went beyond what they needed to fix and my car was beautiful and perfectly clean. I was very impressed with how they extended themselves to go beyond just fixing the area that needed fixed. I dropped off my rental car and they took care of it. I would use them again, I hope I don’t Need to though.
These guys are top notch. Took care of a repair to my Tesla. Even though I come from 180 miles away, it was like dealing with a local body shop. They were easy to work, available and very professional. Took care of all the repair details with insurance. Repairs were flawless! Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience. Wonderful people to work with. Wonderful job completed. Looks and works great. Paint job perfect. Wonderful clean up job. Thanks so much. Almost makes me want to put another Dent in it. 👍😉
Rife’s was very professional and communicated well with me in taking care of my car. They went above and beyond what was expected and most importantly they were honest with me.
Rife’s was very helpful throughout my whole process. Really good at communication and making sure you know what was going on with your vehicle!
Rife’s Autobody was the best autobody shop I’ve ever been to - and I’ve been to a lot of different ones since my car is older. I have never felt happy about my car needing to be fixed until I went to this place! They not only fixed my car but they cleaned the inside and outside (got stains off my silver car). Great service, great environment, great people working here. Would 10/10 recommend to everyone.
Professional service was provided. I was kept current on the progress of the job. The car was delivered as promised and detailed so well. Will recommend Rife’s to family and friends. Randy and Conner were awesome to work with!
Updates were provided via text that kept me aware of the repair process. They successfully worked with my insurance provider to cover all needed expenses without needing my intervention. My vehicle looks new again.
I just picked my car up from Rife’s and was incredibly pleased with the full experience. Their staff is extremely polite and courteous and it is obvious that they go above and beyond to ensure their clients are satisfied. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again for any and all future repair needs.
Professional shop that was willing to negotiate with our insurance on their own. Clean and friendly. Repair and matching paint was done correctly.
I had a wonderful experience at Rife’s. I was in a car accident and needed body work done. I’m so glad I called Rife’s first. From the moment she answered my first call to the day I picked up my car, Pam super nice, patient, and extremely helpful answering all of my questions and getting everything done. On top of that, Conner and his team did an amazing job on my car. The work was spot on with intricate detail. Getting into a car accident is stressful and everyone at Rife’s shop helped put my mind at ease during every step of the process and returned my car to me in better condition than I left it!
Rife’s did a wonderful job repairing our Suburban. Conner was very precise and did a great job communicating with us every step of the way. They made the process easier and less stressful. Rife’s is very professional and does great quality work.
Rifes was awesome! I was hit by an uninsured driver and already had to pay my deductible and was stressed. Rifes made the process easy, low stress and they were very kind and professional. Best of all, my car looks better than new! Ill use Rifes forever!
Thank you to the whole Rifes’s team for the wonderful job they did on my CRV. I would say it looks as good as new, but in fact, it looks better! The rear hatch fits better than it did when it was new.A special thanks to Conner who negotiated with my insurance company and got a good price on genuine Honda parts when the insurance adjuster was only willing to pay for after market.I highly recommend them.
Rife’s was fantastic to work with! They did an excellent job of repairing my car and dealing with my insurance company who was horrible to work with throughout the entire process! I highly recommend Rife’s! (But stay away from Progressive!)
Excellent service and craftsmanship. They kept me informed throughout the process and were promptly replied to all ofMy emails. The check out process took no more the 3 minutes. Highly recommended.
From my first phone call to Rife’s, I was impressed. I spoke with Pam and she was nice, knowledgeable and helpful. After I dropped my car off for repair, I received email updates throughout as to what was being done and a timeline for how long the service would take.My car was finished earlier than expected and they had even cleaned it for me. Conner was fantastic! He went out to my car with me and showed me everything that they had done. Their customer service was impeccable from start to finish!In a time when great customer service is an exception and not the norm, everyone I dealt with at Rife’s far exceeded my expectations!!
Rife auto body is a outstanding autobody service company. The employees are highly professional and friendly. Their workmanship is second to none and, you can see they take pride in their work. You cannot go wrong utilizing this company for your auto body repair work.Anthony Carmichael
I have a brand new, 2020 Jeep Gladiator that got rear ended, there had been some damage to the bed, and the tailgate needed ripped out. I had to deal with 3rd party insurance that ghosted me as soon as this Corona-virus thing started. I had to then call up my insurance company to take care of this, but they were just going through the motions, and didnt care much about my vehicle at all, and it was overall very frusturating.This is where Rifes come in, I called a Jeep dealer and they reccomend Rifes right off the bat. I took the jeep in, and they squeezed me in for an immediate quote, and then once I handled insurance, they took it right in. Al Tidwell went above and beyond with helping me out. He understood my concerns of it being a new truck and made sure the right repairs were made, and made well. He also sent constant updates and images of updates to keep me in the loop the whole process. They went the extra mile to get parts (spare parts for a new 2020 vehicle during a pandemic are a bit hard to get) and got me truck back to me. They also installed an aftermarket bumper, that I bought, for me during the process! No extra charge, and they made a custom harness for me when the wiring didnt fit in the bumper I gave them.100% reccomend this place to take your vehicle to. They do great repairs, have great customer service, and to fix your vehicle as if it were their only priority.
I HIGHLY recommend Rife’s Autobody. The staff is courteous and very efficient. They stayed in constant communication with us during the entire repair process. Thank you so much for your amazing service!
Everyone at Rife was very helpful, from reception to Conner, they made the process as seamless as possible. Everything from the rental car, explanation of the work and timing, details of the insurance process and the quality of the repairs was first class. Thank you to the Rife team.
From beginning to end my experience was hassle free. Conner was polite and helpful, taking time to answer all my questions. My car looked like the day i purchased it 3 years ago.
When it comes to body work you get what you pay for. Metallic paints can’t be hard to match, these guys matched the bumper perfectly.
Professional staff and my car looks amazing. There were a few hiccups regarding my rental car and time it took for my car to be completed however the staff handled these issues with professionalism and integrity. I highly recommend Rifes and would not hesitate to return for service in the future.
