  DO NOT GO TO THIS BODY SHOP. Do yourself a favor and get your Honda serviced at another more reliable body shop.TL;DR: Jones Body Shop does not communicate with their customers, tries to shift responsibility every chance they get, and I suspect even lies your face to avoid having to resolve your issue.Note: This review is a follow up on a review left for Jones Honda since my issue involved both parties.I noticed some paint chipping on the roof of my car a year and 3 months ago and came to the dealership since I was still within the extended warranty period that I paid for. At that time, the body shop staff explained there was an approval process and it could take a few months before they got approval to work on the car, which I was fine with. So every few months I called to check on the status and was told that they were still awaiting approval from Honda HQ. This went on for an entire year and 2 months. Within that time period, I asked who at Honda HQ needed to give the approval so I could contact them myself, and no one in the body shop or at Honda seemed to have an answer for me. I asked multiple times who might be able to expedite the approval, and was only ever referred to the service manager, Joe Keener. But whenever I asked to speak to Joe, the staff at the body shop would tell me he is not available.Finally, after being fed up with being led in circles and getting no answers I called the general customer care number for Honda US. I was assigned a case manager who explained to me that generally, dealerships DO NOT NEED TO GET APPROVAL for this kind of thing and that I should have been taken care of a long time ago. I, of course, went back to the body shop and had them speak with the Honda case manager, at which point they finally decided to take my case more seriously and that the body shop manager, Howie Musser, will make sure my vehicle is fixed asap. When I ask again about this mysterious person or department they were "waiting on approval" from this whole time, Howie was unable to give me a name and could only tell me that it was someone Joe Keener worked with, but again, Joe Keener was unavailable.In any case, even after getting my case looked at by the body shop manager, they weren't able to actually work on my car for ANOTHER ENTIRE MONTH, at which point it was a week and a half before Thanksgiving. And what's worse is they weren't able to give me a reliable timeframe for the work nor were they willing to give me a loaner car while the work was being done. So for a whole week and a half, during a super busy time of year that I should have been able to relax with family during, I had no car and had to figure out transportation for over 10 days.This was by far the absolute worst experience I have ever had with any service generally. Throughout the entire year and three month process of working to get them to honor the warranty that I paid to extend, not once did any person at Jones Honda or their body shop reach out to me to keep me informed or updated. None of my messages were returned, and not one person called back or follow up after telling me they would. Instead they put the burden on me to keep trying to maintain communication about my issue, and treated me as if I was the one who was causing an inconvenience. Their staff defaulted to assuming I had no idea what I was talking about, and when I finally confronted them with a Honda HQ case manager, they barely apologized and didn't bother trying to explain the year and 3 month "mixup".I strongly suspect that if I hadn't taken it upon myself to contact Honda HQ, Jones Body Shop/Honda would have kept putting this issue off until the warranty period had expired and they no longer had to honor it. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE. This place is the epitome of sleazy car dealership.

  I have had nothing but good service here. I had to get my car fixed up THREE times (not all my fault haha!) and each time Jones did a great job. Howie and his team are great people to work with. Ryan and Derick are very friendly at the front desk as well. They go above and beyond for me each and every time.They follow up with me and keep me informed throughout the process and follow through with the insurance companies as well. I did have to get my car repainted through a warranty claim and they honored their work no questions asked.I highly recommend working with them if your insurance accepts them, or if you just need simple work!

  Not a fan of this shop. It took them 7 days to do a job they told me would only be 3 days. Finally got there to pick up my vehicle and they had skipped some of the most obvious issues. And they had ordered several parts that didn't even match and were incorrect.

  The worst experience ever. I wish that I could give them a negative 10. They had my car for a month and made excuse after excuse and repeated their excuses many times - as in "the tech left early" or "he was on vacation". They used those 2 excuses so many times that I said do your techs work 10-2 or wow he was on vacation 3 weeks go. The only reason I have my car now is because I eventually lost it on the phone and the guy said "you sound really upset" - Reaaaally?? Ya think?? and he turned me over to the manager. I can't even list the many things that went wrong during my whole month long experience and my car still had 2 things to fix and they gave me a "we owe you" slip of paper and they would get back to me once that part comes in. Well 5 weeks later I have heard NOTHING from them. So I called them and the guy didn't know anything but would check with the manager and get back to me by end of day. I almost laughed at that comment. They never called me once over 2 months. Never. And he also said "well the manager just got back from vacation" - Hysterical LOL!!!!!!!!! Keep up with your lies buddy. Run away and run away FAST if you want your car back in a reasonable amount of time and you want to keep your sanity!!

  Incredibly Poor service! Oct2022-May2023, part backordered…no part secured nor apparently sought from other dealers, no promised return calls to even explore alternatives. I finally contacted Chevy dealer Bob Fisher in mid-May, part shipped from another dealer w/in a week, repair completed w/in 3 weeks.

  Jone's Body Shop did beautiful work in a timely fashion! I appreciate the efficient and smooth efforts on the part of Ryan... Thank you!

  I made an appointment and got my vehicle looked at for some warranty paint work. I called them a week later to get an update, they said they would call me back with some info. It has now been almost 6 weeks and have not heard anything back. And I was even dealing with the Manager directly. I guess good customer service is not a priority.

  We have never been treated with so much rudeness and lack of courtesy. Had to get our crv fixed after an accident that was not our fault. We had to work with Jones and Allstate. I am not sure who was worse. We had to lakes to at least 3-4 people at jones and each one was poor. We left messages and never heard back. We actually had one worker say they would arrange to extend the car rental with Allstate and Enterprise and never called back. When we called back we had to let the customer phone ring 15 times before someone answered. We were promised our car and it wasn’t finished. Had to wait another day bc they were to busy to complete the paperwork. Again they didn’t communicate this with our insurance and when we dropped off the rental they expected us to pay for the extra day. Needless to say that didn’t happen. I’m the work they did on the car and as ok. But they need to have training on there customer service. All around a very bad experience.

  Go to Faulkner next door instead. I originally scheduled work at Jones, but when I took my car in they had it torn down before they noticed they didn’t have the primary part needed in stock. This was despite having a 2+ month wait for the appointment. I had to get them to reassemble my car and give it back to me, since the wait was going to be undetermined. There was no communication on the issue before I called 2 weeks into them having it. I instead went to Faulkner where, although I still had to wait for an appointment, they had everything fixed in a week with daily updates to me. Oh, and despite having a Honda and going to Jones, the quote on the primary replacement part was double at Jones than Faulkner. Lots of reasons to avoid this place!

  I had front end damage from an accident on April 25… had my vehicle towed to the shop and they told me it would take about two weeks once they start the repairs. I did not get my vehicle back until JULY 15. I understand with back ordered parts etc two weeks wasn’t a very realistic completion date however three months is outrageous for a repair that they said would take about two weeks from start to finish. The insurance company, enterprise rental, and myself called just about every week and tried getting a hold of Jeff who was the estimator but we would never get a clear answer, the last encounter I had with him and asked for an estimated completion date he literally told me “I don’t know”….. would occasionally talk to Dan who was pleasant and tell me every week it should be completed soon however they didn’t start on my car l til the beginning of July.. so that was a bit frustrating . They received the check from the insurance company and apparently had the ordered parts delivered since the end of May.. but didn’t start on my car til JULY… if you get an estimate and it doesn’t seem like a major repair and shouldn’t take longer than two weeks then I’d suggest you take your car to a different shop that actually starts repairs in a timely manner. I will stick to Apple Honda.

  My van was hit and Allstate required I take it there they had it for over 3 months be for I got it back I called to check on it again after they had it for 2 months and they just stared working on it. They sed they were bissy with a bunch of cars that came in at the same time as mine. I have had honda cars my whole life never have I been treated this horrible in my life the blatant lack of communication. Literally no one reach out to me for over a month until I called because Allstate sed it was almost done and when I called the shop they sed they didn't even start working on it and they had to order parts so they lied to my insurance and the life to me for too mor months following that. After just over 3 months and me calling and Gering my insurance involved again they finally finished my van. I have decided my next van will most definitely be a Toyota sienna just so I do not have to deal with jones honda of lancaster ever again. Beyond disappointment if you have some ones car the least you can do is call and give them updates at minimum every week or every other. If you are still waiting on parts then at least the customer knows what's going on.

  DANGER ⚠️ What a disaster this body shop is. It took four weeks to get our car repaired. Then there was at least three issues they didn’t address until we pointed them out. To add insult to injury they tried to charge $250. for a part they didn’t even supply. Thank goodness my insurance company picked up on that. Who knows how many other little add ons we didn’t know about? I am saddened by the fact that the manager took no responsibility for any of it. Every issue that was brought to his attention according to him was someone else’s fault. I did hear from someone else the body shop right down the road from Jones was excellent. You might want to check them out. I finally gave up on Jones Body Shop and am now taking my Acura to the shop down the road. Oh and just as a final insult my bill started out as about $3,100 then another $ 2000 was added. So again DANGER DANGER ⚠️

  "Caution"Under no circumstances should you use this repair shop. Our experience was extremely bad on every level. It started off with a three week delay in getting our car in the shop and the troubles continued from there. The original estimate was almost doubled from the final cost. The repair time we were given was nearly quadrupled. When we finally picked up the vehicle the workmanship was subpar and needed to be taken back and fixed. However when we finally picked the vehicle up it still was not done correctly and we needed to take it to another body shop to fix it correctly. When these concerns were brought to the attention of the shop manager. He had tons of excuses and they all blamed other people, he never took responsibility for the poor craftsmanship and poor communication throughout the entire process. Avoid the shop at all costs
