Simply amazing. This is the second time I've used A. Vargas Body Shop on Magazine Street in New…read moreOrleans, and the experience has been outstanding both times. In a perfect world, none of us would ever deal with car accidents. But in a city like New Orleans, they're often an unavoidable reality. When it happened to me, Alex and his talented team made my vehicle look good as new--maybe even better. The service was exactly what was promised. Pricing was more than fair, with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons--just honest work at a fair cost. And the timing was spot-on. My car was ready exactly when they said it would be, just like when they repaired our Jeep Renegade three years ago. The quality of workmanship speaks for itself. Alex never judged me for wanting to repair my 2019 Ford Fiesta rather than let insurance total it. I love that car--it has barely 50,000 miles and gets 42 mpg on the interstate--and Alex understood that connection. To top it all off, they returned the car cleaned from top to bottom. While I certainly hope I never need a body shop again, it's reassuring to know A. Vargas Body Shop is just a phone call away if I do!

So I decided to go it alone and chose A Vargas. I pull in and ask for an estimate. Instead Alex says the bumper is just loose (no damage) and everything looks fine. He then snaps it back it place. Problem solved. Alex wouldn't accept a payment! He said "it was easy" and I told him it was his expertise and availability to quickly help me that was worth money. Finally I just put some cash in his shirt pocket, waved goodbye and walked away with both of us smiling. I can't image a more trustworthy, professional, and knowledgeable body shop. Don't let the location or the cluttered appearance of the shop stop you. This is a great business.

Darren knocked out the estimate and Sue was cordial the entire time. I got my appointment and, like a dummy, I brought my vehicle in a week early. Darren said leave it that they might get to it between the other cars. I got it back and the body work looked great. You can't even tell where the damage was done. And the vehicle was washed. I couldn't be happier with the service. If you need body work done on your vehicle, this is the place. Hopefully, I won't need their service again but I won't hesitate to return if needed. Thanks for the great work!

And while it was minor accident... no injuries, my airbag didn't deploy, her child was in car seat, thank goodness. My poor car had a jacked bumper, hood, quarter panel & light kit. So I limped home and called my insurance and this location was one of the recommended State Farm body shops. OK. I saw that Harry was a fan and one of my car-guy coworkers likes them too. Sold. Communication was excellent. I dropped my car over the weekend so called them Monday morning. They explained the insurance estimate process to me. And everything went smoothly. Seriously, I emailed them with questions and they answered promptly... I can't even get that sort of response time from other offices, much less a mechanic. The car was ready when they told me and they washed and vacuumed it so it looks great!

While I wouldn't quite say Collision XPerts is a chop shop, I will tell you that in my opinion they…read moreabsolutely are very shady. Avoid at all costs. My story: It is the law in Louisiana that any vehicle in a wreck is automatically required to be deemed totaled if the estimated cost of repair materials and labor equals or exceeds 75% of the car's Actual Cash Value. Collision XPerts ABSOLUTELY lowballed my estimate to keep it from being deemed totaled. Because of course...if the car is deemed totaled, Collision XPerts loses out on business! Thus, they lowball the estimate AND use cheaper, aftermarket non-factory parts on your car, which can actually void the warranty on many newer cars. I knew my car was going to be totaled, I just needed them to sign off on it. When they lowballed me to keep it under the 75% threshhold, they didn't expect I would have done enough research to know that they were full of shit. When I told them I was having my car towed somewhere more reputable, they tried their best to make that very, very difficult for me and I had to threaten them with legal action to get the keys to my own car back. One other note of concern that anyone consider it should know: this repair shop does not use protective crash wrap on cars, even when the car's damage renders a door or window being cracked open until it's repaired. My car's door couldn't fully close after its accident and it was sitting outside for DAYS, along with every other damaged car, with zero Crash Wrap and a well-publicized tropical storm just dumping buckets of rain into the cars. Will Collision XPerts do a decent enough job on your crappy old Nissan Sentra after it gets in a fender bender? Probably, sure. Go for it. But if you have a more expensive car, or if you're wondering if your car is totaled or not, they absolutely will be shady. And if you call them out on it, they will get more standoffish and try to coerce you out of taking your car elsewhere. Attached is a photo of a car which was just fully getting rained in because its door couldn't close and they don't use Crash Wrap. Avoid this place at all costs. SPECIAL NOTE TO THOSE INSURED WITH PROGRESSIVE: there's a reason that Progressive has Collision XPerts listed as one of their partners, and why they try to steer you to have your car towed here instead of anywhere else: because they know Collision XPerts will lowball your estimate to avoid the car legally being deemed totaled, thus saving Progressive money on your payout. In Louisiana you are legally allowed to have your car towed to ANY repair shop, not just the ones that insurance companies partner with.
