I give this body shop or should I say Alex the owner 1 star.
1 star for "making my car look brand new"
PLEASE READ WHAT IM ABOUT TO SAY
Do not I repeat do not take your car to this body shop with out getting your quote from your insurance outside. Once you have ur car with this body shop they will keep it until they find out how much ur insurance is going to give. Alex didn't help me at allll. HE SCAMMED ME. I went alone with no male help or knowledge of body shops.
Alex told me he would only charge me a total of 4500. To fix my car. I took my car to him, I did not have car insurance but the lady who hit me was at fault and lucky her insurance is covering the damages I paid out of pocket which was 4500.
That insurance called me and went to the shop since my car was there already and got an estimate all of a sudden Alex "runs" his numbers and says it's 12,000. Dollars to fix my car???? He says the "numbers change" No sir. You want more money for the same work! Mind you he didn't change my bumper. He didn't do a good paint job more like he just patched up what was scrapped. THEN I find out the quote the insurance gave me is for me to either go find someone to fix my car orrrr go with whoever the insurance speaks highly of. Mind you "CABALLERO AUTO PROS" is nooooot I repeat it is not one of AAA's favorite to use. And they don't even recommend. BUT since my car was already there I had no choice.
I paid Alex 4500. Of what he quoted me. For labor and for parts.
He then calls me and says "oh you need to say I charged you 5,500 for labor" "that way the insurance can pay"
NOW he harasses and calls daily for the insurance check to go all to him after I already paid him 4500. Cause that's what he ORIGINALLY CHARGED.
He wants to say "oh I bought all the parts with my money"
"Oh everything is under my name" "I fixed your car"
"I did everything so the money goes to me"
Can someone please explain????? Cause this sounds like a lawsuit to me for professional misconducting. Falsely over charging. And giving false estimates to insurance companies for more money when he charges less. AGAIN I did not know any of this so I'm just giving EVERYONE specially girls a heads up. DONT GO TO THIS SHOP WITHOUT A MALE, OR KNOWLEDGE of insurance. read more
