Dear Yates,
At this point in my driving career I believe you should have a punch card discount…….10th accident is... free? Regardless of my inability to pay attention to my surroundings while moving at two miles and hour your body shop is amazing. You have always made working with my insurance seamless. You are the one that notifies me about my rental status and your staff always goes above and beyond to ensure that my vehicles are returned to me like new! Detailed beyond expectations and all repairs guaranteed. I can not recommend Yates enough, and even if you see them more often than you hope, they are extremely kind and go out of their way to make sure your severely poor driving record does not impact your daily life. ❤️read more

When my car was totaled by a collision with a deer, Yates did a fantastic job writing up a very thorough quote. I was... on a long drive from TX to WA, and just needed the process to go quickly so I could move on. They were friendly, communicated well with insurance, and even helped me get to the airport to pick up a rental. Didn't get any body work done but Yates was very professional and accommodating when I was in a frustrating, sticky situation.read more

Very professional work done by Yates Autobody on significant damage done to my car in an accident. I was very happy... with the quality of the job done.
Zac explained the process and provided a timeline and within 3 days had the estimate to our insurance company. They are very good at communicating the progress and any issues that arise.read more

We recently visited Yates Body Shop to repair some scratches that our kids put in their grandpa's car. While this... ended up only being a minor repair, everyone at Yates was professional and friendly (and patient as our 4 and 6 year old explained what they had done). The folks at Yates assessed the damage and were able to make the repair much more quickly, and much less expensively, than we had originally anticipated. This is clearly a family business that cares about their customers, and it shows! Thank you!read more

We had a miscommunication when the shop was working on my husband's truck after an accident. He had damage on his truck... bed that was there when he bought the truck, and he wanted it fixed eventually. He had asked for a quote on how much it would cost while other repairs were being conducted. We didn't get called back until after the extra repair on the tailgate was already completed, so we felt backed into a corner when we had no choice but to pay an extra $500. If we had more money to spare at the time, we would have agreed. Yates made it right for us and were very professional in the way they handled it from there. We are working on an arrangement to instead pay what we would have agreed to pay had we received an estimate. I can't think of many other body shops/mechanics who would work with you after this mishap, rather than telling you you're SOL. The work they did on the entire truck was phenomenal. It looks brand new. Mistakes happen but Yates will make it right.read more

I was referred by family members and was extremely satisfied with the attention to detail they provided. My care is... hard to get parts for. It had a short production run and only a few thousand a year were sold. They kept me informed when parts were ordered and when they would be available to complete the work. I was impressed that my car was kept in the garage and never left outside. My car was show quality when I received it on time as promised. Thank You.read more

I am new to Butte, and Yates came highly recommended by the officer that took the report.
1. Very friendly... receptionist, helpful and thorough.
2. My car and myself were greeted professionally and with compassion.
3. I was told a start date, end date, and as promised, it was done on that date.
4. The work was flawless! Even got a ding out I thought would be expensive, for free.
5. My car was clean and in perfect order. As promised.The paperwork was all done by them!
I highly recommend Yates Body shop. I loved everything about how they took care of not only me, but my car as well.!read more

I have had several encounters with Yates. Their customer service is friendly, courteous, professional and always makes... sure the experience is great. They were in communication every step while my vehicles were in their possession. Work was done within a day or 2 of their estimated completion date delay was out of their control due to parts on delivery. My vehicles turned out looking better than I could have expected, I was amazed. Thank you Zac and your entire staff for the great work on my vehicles. Satisfied customer for life.read more

My car was hit by another driver while parked. Yates got us in the next day to get a quote and get the repair process... started. When it went in, we were estimated at 14 days due to busy time and holiday. We were more than pleasantly surprised to get the call 9 days early saying it was ready for pick up. It looks brand new again and I am more than pleased with the service here. Will never go anywhere else with any body issues!read more

I chose Yates because they seemed honest and thorough. However, they have proven to be very dishonest in their dealings... with me. While my vehicle was in their possession, its electrical system mysteriously was shorted out. Even the mechanic who fixed it for them was surprised that they made me pay for it and for towing it between the two shops. When I picked it up, there was a mechanical issue that was not there when I had dropped it off. I was referred to their mechanic who diagnosed a $1200 problem that he believes was caused by the accident and exacerbated by the body shop. Unfortunately, Yates took it upon themselves to give erroneous information to the insurance company. Now, they won't pay for the repairs despite all the evidence uncovered by the mechanic. All I know is that my vehicle worked fine when I left it at their shop and it didn't when I picked it up. How that came to be, I don't know. Conveniently, neither do they.read more

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but the experience I had at Yates was unbeatable! I usually dread taking my car... to a shop as I’m left feeling like all they want is my money. I was in the middle of a roadie from MN to CA when a big hunk of metal in the road left me with $3,000 worth of damages. Jared at Yates took time out of his day to give my car a quick fix so that I could make it home safely, as well as making sure I knew of every damaged spot on my car. I wasn’t even a paying customer, but the compassion of Jared and the staff at Yates was wonderful!!read more

Went hunting in mid November 2017. Put m 2016 RAM 3500 in the ditch. I got out okay, but what I saw after was not... good. I started researching body shops in the area, as well as, checking with my insurance agency for recommended shops. Between the reviews and the insurance I decided to use Yates Body Shop. Very happy I made that decision. I arrived at the shop to a very friendly crew. Zac and I did the estimate and discussed the different methods of the repairs. Young man is very knowledgeable. We set up a date to begin repairs based of normal parts delivery. We had one delay due to the supplier being late with deliveries. Factory parts can be a pain to get. It was not a problem, it was there to be fixed. Upon arrival to pick up my truck I met with Zac and we did a complete inspection. I was amazed with the quality of the work......especially the paint. I studied it well and could not find a change from old to new. The blending was excellent. At home, my wife did her inspection. She could not believe it looked every bit as good as it did the day we bought it. She was excited to have "her" truck back as good as new. Of course, she tells me I can't take it hunting again. Yates Body Shop does excellent work. No question there. I believe anyone needing their shop will find excellent quality in workmanship, and super people to work with. My thanks to a job very well done.
