Classic Collision Center

I have reviewed Classic Collision before, but wanted to add another, due to my most recent (and, as always) excellent experience with them. If I could give them 6 stars, I would! John Burdolski went above and beyond, and the extra assistance gave me a much-​needed morale boost regarding my car (which in turn boosted my personal morale, which needed it too) without adding anything to my bill! He is a true gentleman, seems to have passed that training on to his son, along with his business ethics and experience, and he really does provide «Knock Your Socks Off Service» (a book well-​worth reading for anyone whose business involves customer service)! And I would be remiss if I did not give a shout out to Carmen, who wo“mans” their front desk, and is always great… any company would be proud to have her as their first point-​of-​contact for customers!

This is the second time I have used Classic Collision to repair a vehicle that was damaged in an accident. Both times involved an insurance claim and both times I have been extremely happy with the experience I received from start to finish.
A fellow Unilocaler said that Classic Collision is always busy and it is — with good reason. They do an awesome job and the word has spread. Their staff is friendly and in most cases family. Whether blood relation or a long time employees of the shop every person involved with the repair of the vehicles has a vested interest in returning that vehicle in pristine shape. Thank you to all of the staff at Classic Collision for taking care of my claim and repairs! I would definitely recommend this body shop to anyone needing major or minor repairs/​body work to their vehicle.

John Burdolski who owns Classic Collision in Kansas City Kansas has provided my family with excellent service over the years. Once again, Classic Collision has stepped to the plate and did a great job with body work on my car. Everything went smooth and seamless from start to finish. What more can you ask for in an auto body repair shop?
Classic Collision is always busy so don’t expect a rush job on your vehicle. What you can expect is some of the cleanest body repair work in all of Kansas City. I have experienced many shady dealing and shoddy work with other auto body shops. Most of the employees at Classic Collision are long time loyal employees. This is always a good sign and many times difficult to gauge with an unfamiliar body shop. Insurance paperwork is always a piece of cake. If not using insurance, expect a very reasonable rate. The office staff is very good at keeping in touch and updating you along the way.
Estimates are fair and honest.
I would be remissed if I didn’t mention an incident at Classic Collision: I had taken a car to Classic for some minor body work. Mind you, it was an old Saturn vehicle not worth much at all. A week or so after dropping the vehicle off at Classic, I received a phone call informing me that the Saturn had been stolen. Yes, stolen right out of Classics secure lot. Police reports were filed and John was more than apologetic. I kept informing John that it wasn’t that big of a deal. This is why auto insurance exists. Guess what… Within a couple days, I stop by to visit with John about a possible insurance claim and I see a construction crew installing an entire new concrete and iron perimeter with new security features. Easily thousands of dollars in investments made by Classic Collision. Within a few days, the KCK Police Department had apprehended the car thief and recovered the vehicle. So, you think this is the end of the story…
John Burdolski insisted on finishing the job with the Saturn. I had no reservations at all and Classic Collision completed the body work and John Burdolski solidified himself as one of the best business owners regardless of industry that I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. As long as I’m within driving distance of Classic Collision, I know exactly where my body repair work will be done (unless of course the vehicle isn’t drivable from Lawrence Ks, which happened recently).
