Looks like OTers will have to find a new place to get their shite repaired.

Owens Collision and Service Center, a Baton Rouge auto body shop that has faced a raft of lawsuits and one filed by the state over its business practices, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
quote:
A judge, siding with the state in its case, called the firm’s practices “absurd, unethical” and “unscrupulous" and found the company violated the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act and ordered it to change some of the ways it deals with customers.

frick Owens collision.
I have a story of dealing with them, along with many other people.
I would only recommend Cavin's in Baton Rouge.

I went there once. My insurance sent me and they did a good job. The owner even gave me a ride home. But I wasn’t towed there so that makes a difference. They couldn’t really hold me hostage.
I won’t miss the shitty commercials. Now if we can just get Geaux Roof to stop making commercials.

Shouldn't have wasted their money on those atrocious commercials.

What happened with your experience with Owen's?
Posted on 1/3/19 at 2:07 pm to toosleaux
Maybe he can save money by hiring his bazillion kids to work in the shop?

Hopefully they can take Riverside Towing with them.

Notorious auto shop files for bankruptcy, new business takes its place
quote:
BATON ROUGE - Owens Collision has filed for bankruptcy, but its building is now the home of an auto repair shop incorporated just last week.
The filing comes after months of legal battles over harmful business practices the auto body shop reportedly employed. Last year, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry filed suit against Owens, alleging that its practices and advertising were dishonest.
Many customers complained about long and unpleasant dealings with the business, including overcharging for repairs and other exorbitant fees. The state's suit also claimed Owens misrepresented the contract customers signed and held vehicles longer than necessary “to increase non-repair fees."
Judge Todd Hernandez ordered the business to correct its "absurd" and "unethical" practices.
Despite the recent filing, the business' old location at 12525 Jefferson Highway appears to be bustling once again.
An attorney representing Greg Owens tells WBRZ that Owens Collision ceased operations after its bankruptcy filing on Dec. 21. However, bankruptcy documents show the property was donated from Owens Collision to GLO Investments, which is also run by Greg Owens.
On Dec. 28 attorney Ashly Earl incorporated Allstar Affordable Collision and Service, LLC. It lists Allstar Collision Max, LLC as its only officer.
Allstar Collision Max lists Greg Owens as its only officer.
Some Owens Collision signs are still visible from outside the business.
