***Posting an update. Upon reading my review, Britland called and apologized for misdiagnosing the issue and for the time we were without the car. They acknowledged the seriousness of the mistake and took accountability. This week, I received a check for $260…the cost of the actual repair. Mistakes happen but not everyone owns it. Changing the review from 1 to 3 stars.

My son had an accident in late December and Allstate directed us to Britland for repair. Over the weeks that the car was there, they kept finding new things to repair, stretching the repair to almost $8000 and 6 weeks in the shop. They explained as they broke the car down further, they found more and more damage. It was extremely frustrating as the repair stretched on and on…
8 months later, we heard a rattle and brought the car back because we suspected it was related to the prior repair. They pointed out some scratches on the hub cap and said he must have hit something and damaged the sway bar. They quoted me a week for repair and $1600. After a week, they told me a part (sway bar) was delayed again so I picked it up and brought it to Bridgewater Motorworks, who is my regular mechanic for years.
The sway bar was fine but the subframe was missing a bolt and another one was loose. They didn’t tighten them down on the first repair! One of the bushings needed to be replaced but it was $260 and a one day job. Not $1600 and over a week.
See the “broken” sway bar pictured. I’d report them back to my insurance company but it’s not worth my time for $260. This post is enough.
I do not trust this shop.
