Wow. I'll never go here again. Total F- grade workmanship. My car was rear-ended. It was the other driver's fault and their insurance was taking care of it. I requested Longhorn because of supposed good reviews on the internet. That was the worst mistake I ever made. I brought my car in for damages to the rear bumper and trunk. Not a minor fender bender, but not a total loss. Regardless, I drove it in with a perfectly working exhaust, fully charged battery, and an intact sirius antenna. Before I brought it in, the adjuster from the other driver's insurance company inspected the car (and I was there during the inspection). There was no damage to the exhaust, and the car started on a dime, *everytime* and still drove/ran like it did before. Oh yeah, and the radio worked fine too. I brought the car to Longhorn - they quoted me seven days and had it "completed" in six. I had a rental car for that time, paid for by the insurance. Longhorn called to say the car was ready, and that I could return the rental. I returned the rental, picked the car up, and they gave me back a car with a broken exhaust, a dead battery, and a ripped out sirius antenna. I ended up having the rental for another 3 days. The other driver's insurance company, rightfully, would not pay for the rental because the damage claim was closed out when the car was picked up. They asserted that Longhorn was responsible for the additional rental charges, due to Longhorn's poor workmanship. Longhorn called the insurance company, and tried to get them to pay for my rental ("as a favor to me" -gee thanks) The insurance company (rightfully) wouldn't budge, and then Enterprise tried to bill Longhorn the $85 for the extra 3 days. LONGHORN REFUSED TO PAY. This left me as the final person to secure payment of the vehicle and they charged my credit card the $85. Longhorn stuck me with 3 extra days of inconvenience, plus an $85 rental bill for THEIR shoddy workmanship.

Pros: None

Cons: Everything. Worst of all was the workmanship.

Response from this business

We try our best to satisfy our customers
Posted on 09/18/2008
When this vehicle arrived in our shop, it had damage to the exhaust system and a dead battery. After the customer picked up the vehicle (which was ready in 6 days instead of the 7 days we estimated), he told us the damage to the exhaust system was part of the accident. So we contacted the insurance company who denied the claim as they determined it was not part of the accident. For good customer relations, we replaced the exhaust system and replaced the battery at our cost. We never received a bill from the rental car company for their charges, which we would have paid. As far as the Sirius radio antenna is concerned, it arrived in our shop installed in a very non-professional manner. We did nothing to further damage the existing installation, which was doomed to failure at some point. We feel we bent over backward for this customer to insure his complete satisfaction. We are quite surprised at the comments in his review.

Longhorn collision is nothing but garbage. They will charge the insurance for parts that are not replaced. Charge the insurance and customers for service that is never done. Fix cars for cash and not keep any records of the transaction. Have you vehicle worked on by unqualified techs. If you do decided to go there ask to see the employees certifaction. There will be none.

I was looking for a collision repair place and came across this on citysearch. I HAVE NOT actually been to this place but if you look at the reviews, its completely obvious that they are fake! Look how they have multiple reviews on a single day or week but many months with gaps. Coincidence? I think not. Look at the names for a lot of the consecutive reviews. Its a couple letters, often repeated, with a couple numbers. I would be very weary of these reviews if I were you.
