Seven Years Strong: Brandon’s Toyota Prius Transformation

Recent Excellence: Chuck’s Mountain Adventure Recovery
Just this past fall, Chuck Carnefix and his wife were traveling to their Colorado cabin when they struck a large buck on a mountain pass. The collision with the trophy deer left Chuck’s 2024 Tundra Platinum with extensive damage. The hybrid systems were affected, the radiators were damaged, and the sensors were destroyed, leaving the truck immobile on the mountain pass.
Chuck’s Tundra arrived at our facility on October 6th, and we delivered it back to him on November 5th, completely restored to better-than-original condition in exactly one month. This timeline demonstrates our efficiency in handling complex repairs involving modern vehicle technology, including hybrid systems and advanced safety sensors.
“Holy MOLY! They had the pickup back to BETTER than when I bought it,” Chuck exclaimed. “The attention to detail and the fit and finish are above first rate. I can’t express my gratitude enough to the techs and mechanics who worked on my baby.”
Chuck specifically praised Austin Riddle for providing honest estimates without unnecessary upselling. He also highlighted our front desk staff, particularly Brooke, for their exceptional customer service and communication throughout the repair process. “The ladies at the front desk are absolutely wonderful to deal with. If they don’t know the status of the vehicle, they will find out quick and call you back.”
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that deer-vehicle collisions peak during October and November, making Chuck’s experience particularly relevant for Utah drivers. Our technicians are experienced in handling wildlife collision damage, from minor bumper repairs to complete front-end reconstruction involving complex electronic systems.
