Crash Champions LUXE | EV Certified Repair Lakewood Ranch in
Bradenton (FL)

Choose this shop to repair my car They sent it to Sarasota, the damages were fixed in a terrible way, I refused the car on the initial delivery. Second delivery looked better until I drove the car and parts started to fly off. I called them, to be told to not call anymore as they did not fix my car. I did not ask for my car to be sent out to a third party shop and have had nothing but complications since.

Yesterday I stopped into Crash Champions LUXE | EV Certified Repair Lakewood Ranch to get an estimate because my rear panel had some light scratches on my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq. Even though they were close to closing the shop, their team was super professional, friendly, and even took my car into the back to see if it could be buffed instead of painted. About 15 minutes later, it came out and was perfect. The scratches were completely gone. I was really amazed. Didn’t expect that. They also refused payment for the quick fix, which says a lot about their integrity. As a veteran, I truly appreciate service like this. They’ve absolutely earned my trust and future auto body and related business. Thank you!!!

I highly recommend this Crash Champions location! I've had two separate body repairs done here. In both cases, the customer service, communication, and work quality were all outstanding - they have pride in their work and it shows!

Ray was efficient and a real professional. Ray coordinated my repair and with my insurance swiftly. The Tesla bumper repair was perfectly matched to the blue color. I had to bring my car back for two things but Ray remained helpful, courteous and thorough.

I took my Honda into Crash Champions, due to a fender bender resulting in a hole in my front fender and headlight damage. It was one of the most pleasant efficient and seamless experiences I’ve had with any retail business. They worked very well my insurance company and the rental car company. It was a one stop shop! The work they did was perfect. Dominic was my point person. He was a pleasure to work with as well . He was professional and kept me informed of the progress. The whole process only took a week, that included Thanksgiving holiday in there too. Very pleased!

I believe her name was Lee in the front office. I was there on Monday midday with a motorcycle part. She went above and beyond to help me to my complete satisfaction. Great staff highly recommended this body shop.

I've had 2 cars taken care of here. I've had several other repairs at other shops in the past but none compare. My Tesla model Y looks brand new after an $8,000 repair by the other parties insurance.

I had a great experience with Crash Champions! They handled the body work and paint on my truck, and everything turned out looking fantastic. Leigh was wonderful to work with — professional, friendly, and great about keeping me updated on the progress every step of the way. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely recommend Crash Champions to anyone needing quality repair work and excellent service!

Had a great experience with these guys, the staff is super friendly and helpful! Special shoutout to Mr Ray, for helping me out with my truck. Great job will definitely use them in the future.

Excellent collision repair! Sheryl was a big help and a great communicator throughout the repair process. The paint work is flawless! Great job guys!! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Porsche Owners proceed with caution! So far my experiences are marginal. Especially the communications. If I don't send an email my advisor does not follow up. In fact he's horrible half the time he's gone and does not return email until he's back in the office. I sent an email on the 6th and he got back to me on the 11th. 5 days to return an email - This company and its employee Raymond need some serious Customer Service Training. I'm a neglected customer not asking for any special treatment. My car is not even at there shop yet for repairs. SO FAR A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Porsche Owners Stay Away! Additional feedback with Crash Champions. James the General Manager got involved with my project and actually made a good bit of difference. The wrong parts were shipped to the repair center. That took an extra week. They did finally get my car completed. They would have been only 5-7 days to fix it if the right parts came. So a horrible start and an ok end result. Work quality was good James did a great job communicating with me. They dropped the car at my house once finished and that was great service. They have a long way to go to be at the service level on a Porsche. I do give them credit the GM really took ownership of the issues and told me he’s working on the service. If you take your Porsche here make sure James the GM is aware. Cheers!

My insurance company recommended Crash Champions LWR for a minor accident repair. They were terrific. Customer Service continuously updated me via text on the status of my car and it was ready a day earlier than estimated. When I picked it up, my car was beautiful! Crash Champions had detailed it inside and out and it looked brand new - such a pleasant surprise. I was expecting the repaired rear bumper to look new, but not the whole car! I had a rental car and they made that transaction very easy too - I just left the car with them. A very customer-focused, efficient business……they totally exceeded my expectations.

Couldn’t be happier with my repaired vehicle. The communication with my rep was outstanding. While it may have taken a little longer than originally told, they made sure everything was perfect before returning my vehicle to me - vacuumed washed!! You can’t tell that my vehicle was ever wrecked.

Great experience again with Crash Champions. This time primarily with Ray! He was determined to make sure my sons car was safe and done to proper standards. His level of professionalism was fantastic and I would highly recommend him to anyone else needing auto body work in town.

So glad I have a place to take my vehicles now! Everyone was so nice and professional. Took their time to explain everything. Sheryl was the best! They didn’t just repair my car, they detailed it! When I picked up my car, it was washed, vacuumed, and everything wiped down on the inside. Can’t say enough about this business! Truly professionals!

Review for Crash Champions LWR: Extremely disappointed with our experience. After being rear-ended a few months ago, we had our car repaired at Crash Champions in Lakewood Ranch. The tailgate needed to be replaced, but due to insurance limitations, they reused the old rear window glass in the new tailgate. Fast forward a few weeks — while on a 12-hour road trip, my husband simply opened and closed the driver's side door, and we suddenly heard a loud pop. We looked back to find the rear window covered in spider cracks. Within minutes, the glass began to shatter and fall into the back of the car. When we returned to Bradenton, we brought the car back to Crash Champions. To their credit, they were apologetic and told us they would replace the window. That was over two weeks ago. My husband did get a call today saying that we had an appointment to have the glass replaced, however no one ever called us to schedule the appointment, we both work full time and were unable to drop off the car without advanced notice This kind of delay and lack of follow-through is unacceptable — especially for something that appears to be directly related to their initial repair. I expected more professionalism and accountability. I won’t be returning and would not recommend them to others.

My car got hit by a baseball. So glad I took my car here for repairs. I had Sheryl as advisor and communication was very smooth and the repair made the car look like I got it fresh out of the dealership. Their communication with insurance was also smooth. Finally they cleaned my car after the repair. By the way I saw that someone rated this shop two stars about their car being detailed during repair and their loose change was missing. But my loose change was not missing at all, it was still there

I had a great experience with this service repair shop! Donna, the service advisor, was fantastic—friendly, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. I was especially impressed that my vehicle was repaired even before the estimated date. Excellent customer service and quick turnaround—highly recommend!

If I could give zero stars, I would. Progressive brought my Tesla here for repairs and it was a complete nightmare from start to finish. The customer service was absolutely horrible. Sheryl, the service advisor handling my car, called to tell me my vehicle was ready. I live in Tampa and this place is over an hour away. When I got there, it was obvious the valance hadn’t been fixed—it was sticking out and very noticeable. When I pointed it out, Sheryl told me, “it’s normal in Teslas for that part to stick out like that.” I explained that it wasn’t like that before the accident, and suddenly she changed her story and said the insurance wasn’t covering it. I called the Progressive adjuster directly, who confirmed that was not true and the part was supposed to be repaired. So I left without my car. A week later, Sheryl called again saying my Tesla was completely fixed and ready for pickup. She even sent me an updated repair list showing the valance included. I drove all the way back—again—only to find the same issue still not fixed. The valance was still sticking out. Sheryl wasn’t even there this time. How do you tell someone their vehicle is ready without checking it first? The lack of attention, follow-through, and basic customer service is unacceptable. This place wasted my time twice, and no one seemed to care. My car was finally finished a few days later, but the overall experience was frustrating, unprofessional, and exhausting. If you have the option to take your vehicle somewhere else, do it. Crash Champions does not value customers or their time.

Had the most positive experience with Crash Champions. Communications from Roxy and Melanie were sent every few days informing me on the progress and completion dates. Repairs to my Tesla performed very professionally and according to the estimated date. Overall, very friendly and knowledgeable team of people making sure you are provided the best and efficient service. Thank you Crash Champions, you are the best!

This outfit is uber-professional. They took great care of my Porsche and kept me informed as they progressed, and my service writer seemed to care about my car, always texting me with updates. Thanks so much. If I need your services down the road, I will see you then.

I had a fantastic experience! I was helped by Dom and Ray. They were professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my car and explained everything in simple terms, which I really appreciated. The repair was done extremely quick - Way faster than I ever could have anticipated! It’s rare to find a repair shop you can trust, but I’ve definitely found mine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and efficient auto service!

I recently moved to Lakewood Ranch and had my tesla fixed at this place. Everyone recommended me crash champions and they were right. The staff is amazing and the service is great. Our service/customer representative, Dominic, was great, worked with me at all stages and was super responsive and helpful, making sure I was happy with the fixes. They had my car done 1 week before. I came back due to a small issue and they had me out the door in under 1 hr. It was very smooth working and would definitely recommend again to anyone else.

I braught my F150 to crash campion and was told I'd have it back in a few week but it took 3 month. It was cloudy the day I picked it up so I didn't notice the swirl marks all over the truck and I didn't notice the spot that was scuffed on the hood and not buffed. On my way home I notice the tint on my back window was scratched along with the window frame. I never thaught about checking the back sheet but when I got home I noticed all of my stuff that was under my back seat was all over + a big old footprint in my carpet. You would think SOMEONE would be in charge of checking vehicles befor the customer was told your truck was done. Me being a person that gives people second chases braught my lexus to get fixed. I'm told it's done so I go to pick it up and guess what..... they forgot to replace the window. I didn't get a simple apology I'm just told he forgot to order it. Here's a thaught why was I told it was done. CLEARLY they have ro quality control. I still have to take my truck back so they can fix what they messed up.

paint splash from another vehicle on the passenger front door, and large black line of paint across my trunk. Then when I went to leave, I grabbed my steering wheel and notice the leather was scrapped from the top of the steering wheel to the bottom. When I pointed this out they denied being responsible for the damage. I told them I am 100% certain that the damage happed while my car was in their possession, because I had just replaced the steering wheel cover and loved how perfect and pristine it was. I was told it would get passed along to management. I told my advisor I needed management to reach out to me, because was not at all happy. Advisor called me back 2 days later to say they weren’t going to do anything about the damage that they caused. I told him I would like to speak to management or the owner. Never got a call back. I am in the automotive industry, I run a tire shop. I know how this stuff goes. Hopefully they next time they damage a vehicle they’re “repairing” they do the right thing and fix it, not give the customer another thing to fix.

I brought my car in on August 6th after getting in an accident back in July, my experience was nothing but amazing! Everyone that works here is so nice and made everything so easy for me. I was estimated for it to be done on the 20th and it was done that day! I was updated every time my car was in a different process. They even painted over an old little scratch i had on my hood. Thank you to Diane and the whole team at Crash Champions! Pictures inserted of before and after of the car, literally looks brand new!!

OUTSTANDING ‼️Car looks like it did when I bought it‼️ Great attention to details, super clean when I picked it up inside & outside. They also put in my new headlights which had been in storage since I bought them because whole bumper had to be pulled to get them in for no extra charge‼️ Who does that❓Not enough places that’s for sure. I will always bring any needed body work to CRASH CHAMPIONS. Put new hood shocks in for me too. If you need body work BRING IT HERE‼️?
