April 29, 2026... A…read morenew review, this time for repairs to a 2024 Kia Sportage. A month ago, a family member rear-ended another car at the SE corner of Ashland and Diversey. Damage was severe enough that the car had to be towed. Fortunately, no one was injured. Fast forward roughly four weeks and I reclaimed my car today. It was exactly what I expected: impeccably repaired with a paint job--thanks to master painter and WBS owner Danny Avalos, Jr.--that matched the original finish perfectly. While four weeks seemed overly long, my insurance company's adjustor and appraiser were responsible for most of the delay. Throughout the process, shop manager Eric Villa keep me apprised. Price--you can't beat it!

There was a slight issue, and they jumped all over it and made sure we were 100% happy without arguing or anything. They did excellent work. Their initial estimate was a lot higher than my insurance company, and even though they weren't my insurance companies "preferred" supplier they worked with my adjuster without me getting involved. They went back and forth a few times, and the entire bill was covered without anymore out of pocket from me besides the deductible. Their communication is also top notch from the initial estimate to status updates on the car. I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. When they gave me a date on when they would follow up again they hit that, and they completed the car ahead of schedule. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them to everyone I know.

I took my car in because my sunroof was stuck open. They gave me an estimate to fix it and I agreed to have the service done. Ultimately they were not able to fix it and I still had to take it to the dealer for repair who told me the damage that was done would result in an even more expensive repair. Overall, I had a horrible experience with poor communication throughout. They had my car for several weeks and I had to chase them for updates. After the first week with no updates, I finally reached the shop manager and the response I got was to "be patient". This was the state of my car when I picked it up, which was not the state I dropped it off in. Although my car was over 10 years old it was in nearly perfect condition when I dropped it off. The car was hit while parked on the street outside the shop. When I saw the damage I went back into the shop and they sent me to their body shop to have it buffed out. Much of the damage came out but not all of it. Nothing was offered to rectify the damage done to the interior of the car. I sent emails to the shop with the pictures below, but got no response.

I had a small door ding and scrape from a parking lot on my brand new car that had been bothering me for months. I was afraid it would cost an arm and a leg to fix, but Mike gave me a very reasonable quote based on a few pictures I sent and was able to schedule me for later that week. He showed up on time and was super friendly. He had the dent/scrape fixed in under an hour and it looked brand new--couldn't tell that it was ever there. It was also super convenient that he is mobile and comes to you. Overall highly recommend!

He's taken out dents that I thought were irreparable and at a fraction of the cost of body shops. If you have any damage, take pics and send to him.

I came into this shop for an estimate and was shocked by how unprofessionally I was treated. While…read morediscussing my vehicle, Aurelio--an employee there--made a loud comment that he was "going to screw me over." Whether he meant it as a joke or not, it was completely inappropriate and instantly destroyed any trust I might have had in the shop. To make matters worse, he also criticized a previous estimate I had received from the same shop, saying that the original estimator "didn't know what they were doing." That level of disrespect toward both customers and coworkers was unacceptable. In the end, I decided to take my vehicle elsewhere for repairs--and I'm glad I did. I recommend others do the same if they expect professionalism and integrity.

Garcia's Auto recommended M&R auto body which turned out to be a block from where I had the accident. Robert literally walked over to help me get my car to his shop.

Because of that State Farm reversed their decision, Robert was right about the cost of the repairs and value of my car. His shop is family owned and run and trustworthy. And they have a dog, Leo so that tells you everything you need to know!

I was quoted $1,834 for a radiator replacement, oil pressure switch, and an oil change. I had already reviewed the estimate beforehand and knew they were charging 6.2 hours of labor at $175/hour which felt extremely inflated for the work being done. For context, I called around to several shops and ended up receiving a quote for $745. When I went in to question the pricing with Nick, the quote suddenly dropped to $1,247. That's a huge difference for the exact same job - 32% to be exact. If there's that much "flex" in the price, it really makes you question how the original number was justified in the first place. At the same time, I was told they don't inflate estimates which didn't line up with what I experienced. The whole interaction felt uncomfortable and undermined my trust in their pricing transparency.
