When our very own Samantha Taylor's son Aaron was in his first car accident (not his fault, and he was thankfully not injured) the good folks at LBJ Collision came to the rescue. Not only did they do an amazing job repairing the car, but they handled all of the insurance matters for the Taylors and kept in constant communication with them until the car was ready.
