New to the area from wide open spaces, I naturally picked up some scratches and dents in an unfortunate parking garage attempt with my new Chevy gas guzzler. True to reviews, Tim responded quick to an online estimate request for service and his team delivered as promised with an unexpected MIL discount. I recommend this business to anyone who's looking for some reliable, quality, and honest service. read more

No hassle, no haggle estimate. There was no long wait for an appointment and they were very flexible with my schedule. They were upfront with other possible charges beyond the estimate. Very reasonable price and labor time. The vehicle body work was delivered on time and it was great quality! Support your local small business! read more

I previously gave them 5 stars when they were in the old location that we used twice for painting/dent/scratch repair. This past experience left a lot to be desired. I had a few scratches and had a few panels repainted. It wasn't cheap, but the work was sub-par. The first time they gave me the car the window seal was painted over and a few scratches were just clear coated so you still saw all of the scratches that were previously there. Then an area that we literally marked with a paint pen to fix was left untouched. So they did it again. Okay, so those spots were now better, but then other spots were worse. One panel that didn't need to be redone now has a small fisheye on it. There is a slight wave in the paint elsewhere...the transition between the respray in the door jamb was horrible. Then today the interior trim piece fell down because they didn't put that back properly either and bend all of the pins that hold it. Oh yeah, and I also had to buff everything to remove the halos they left on the new paint and wet sand the transition into the door jambs. I'm not the professional but know that it's not supposed to leave a ridge between the new and old paint. One shouldn't need to go over the work of a professional painter a second and third time to get it looking like it was just painted for thousands of dollars that I paid for. This wasn't the $99 Earl Scheib special. Their lot is full of Porsches and Mercedes. The pride in your craft should be better. Sorry, but even though i had in the past, I won't recommend them again. read more

Flemings 1st Choice Autobody - The horrible transition between the new (lighter/left-side) and old paint (darker) that I had to fix myself. - Body Shops Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Had to have some minor work done, they were reccommended. Straightforward on the estimate. Easy scheduling and easy to work with. This place isn't fancy, you or your car won't be pampered, but they did a good job as promised. read more

Very poorly finished and when you call them they blame the insurance for ordering aftermarket parts, they spent a whole month on the car and after all that that's what I got. Update: I went to service the vehicle and found out that they lost the lug nut key which is gonna cost 115$ at the dealership! They also told my insurance that they did the alignment which they never did, when they were asked for specs they said oooh we changed our alignment machine in July and all the records were gone! read more

Flemings 1st Choice Autobody - Gaps were everywhere - Body Shops Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We've had two cars repaired with Fleming's. Each time they've taken time and extra effort to make sure we were satisfied with the work. They tried to work with the insurance company to get better parts, especially when they felt the after-market parts were subpar, and even helped cover the cost for us to get the better parts when the insurance company stuck us with worse parts. When we found some minor issue with one of the vehicles, they quickly corrected their work. read more

Someone sideswiped our brand-new car less than a week after we bought it and drove off, leaving us with a staggeringly high repair bill. Tim was kind enough to fix 99% of the damage when we took the car in for inspection -- for free! -- and advised us NOT to pay him to fix the last 1%. What an incredible guy. The next time we have car issues, we know what auto shop we'll use. read more

Excellent service at an excellent price. Took care of my vehicle in a few days. Estimate was very reasonable and when they started the work, they noticed a part had to be replaced, not repaired, so they replaced it without charging extra. read more

Mr.Fleming was nice, respectful, and knowledgeable about his craft. He treated my car with such care and helped me out when I had no one else to go to! His customer service skills were amazing and he was very professional. Highly recommend! 10/10 service read more

Its no surprise this business has a perfect 5 star rating and I am adding another!-- Based on their great rating, I chose to have my truck fixed here. From the start,--Outstanding customer service!--They answer the phone and also call you back or email- They are completely honest and upfront and as you can see--they do outstanding work! They are also very well experienced in dealing with the insurance companies and all the hassle that usually involves which was greatly appreciated. I couldn't recommend them any higher. Well done Flemings!!! (Before and after pics attached). read more

Someone keyed my car and I headed to Fleming's - was impressed by all the five-star reviews. The owner of the place told me that I would need both doors repainted, though the scratched part was on one door only, that my car color "was incredibly difficult to match, one of the most challenging on the market," that they would provide me with a quote and that my car would be at the shop for "2-3 days" because they were so busy. I guess I look like easy prey, distressed, a woman by herself, likely a total idiot in the eyes of a body shop owner. Fortunately, I went to another body shop, right down the street, where I was told that I could easily paint the scratch over with the right paint, and that they would help me were I to produce the right paint from the dealer. Additionally, they told me that it was best not to remove the whole door (let alone 2!) to repaint just one scratch, because it would make it look like I was in an accident and was trying to cover something much more serious up than a scratch. I got the paint from the dealer later that day, and the kind people at another shop helped me for free. All I ended up paying was $13.95 for the paint to fix this issue. The quote from Flemings that I received was over $1300! I am surprised at all the five-star reviews here and wonder if most of them aren't fakes. read more

I wish I could give them 6 stars. My former mechanic place told me that large rattles and clunks were coming from something loose in my bumper, so I had to find a body shop. I found Fleming. Like I said they are a body shop, but they looked at my car and found some shocks and other parts that aren't really body work causing the problem and they said they would fix it. Did so, but then called me back saying the there was still a small clunk coming from another part and they fixed that as well. They showed me the cost of what they got charged for parts straight up, what he charged for labor, then apologized for having to call for authorization of that second set of parts and took some off for that. Excellent deal! My car is perfect! Thanks guys! I am now a life-long customer. Excellent family business that obviously care about doing things right. read more

Look no further! Fleming's 1st Choice Autobody should be your first and only stop. Honesty, quality and value! My frozen white (matte white) BMW Alpina had a crack on the right front fender, a 1/4" dent/crack on the passenger door and some other small deformities on the passenger door. I work at Dulles airport, so my first stop was D&V Autobody Masters in Sterling VA. They informed me the door was aluminum, could not be repaired and had to be replaced. My vehicle also has PPF applied to the front end, up to the doors. D&V said the hood and rear door would also have to be repainted and replacement of the PPF on the fender and hood would not be included. Additionally, they could not guaranty function of the front sensors, calibration also not included. Total: $7793.39. We live in Falls Church VA, and had bodywork done on our Porsche Cayenne at Fleming's 1st Choice a couple years ago. No appointment for estimate required, like at D&V. I had the quote for my BMW emailed to me 2-days later; $3500 including application of the PPF and any calibration of the sensors if necessary. Less than half D&V's quote! Flemings lot is packed with every brand of high-end vehicle you can think of, so have faith, they're technicians are craftsmen. Fleming's shop is in a modest location, so you're not paying for all the flash and glitz of D&V's waiting area and parking lot. Only for D&V's technicians that can't fix a 1/4" crack in aluminum. I've been in aviation for 40 years. Aluminum can be repaired. Unlike what D&V told me. Fleming's Autobody returned my vehicle on-schedule and at the quoted price. The door repair and matte finish looked flawless, matched the adjacent panels, and the PPF was included!! Thank you, team, at Fleming's 1st Choice Autobody! read more

Not only was my car completely repaired and spotless when it was returned, but the customer service was incredible. The team at Fleming's was incredibly communicative and flexible to make sure that I could pick up and drop off my car easily. I'm so grateful for their help and affordable price point. I would recommend Fleming's to everyone. read more

Fleming Auto has a rare 5 star rating on Yelp and deservedly so. The initial estimate was fair, coming in below several of the other auto body shops that I got quotes from. The service was completed quickly, and they even managed to fix an issue that popped up after the initial estimate (for a very fair rate). I would recommend Fleming Auto to anyone in the area and will not hesitate to hire them again in the future. read more

My car was fixed quickly at a good price. They were friendly and easy to work with. I am glad we found them.

My second time bringing my cars to Flemings, and once again could not be happier! My first was an Audi S4, and this time a Tesla S. It has the feel of a family run place, very friendly, attentive and always communicative. It was very easy and fast to get an estimate, and I got a detailed quote emailed to me within an hour. I had to reschedule twice and they were very flexible with my situation. But most importantly, when I got my car back it was as good as new, you would not be able to find were the damage was. I would never consider taking my car elsewhere. Plus I am happy I can support a local, friendly well run business! read more

Flemings 1st Choice Autobody - My Tesla S back to new!! - Body Shops Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

My car was hit in my apartment parking lot while I was away on a trip, leaving me with a broken tail light. My normal auto shop suggested I go to Fleming's 1st Choice Autobody, and I can't thank them enough for the recommendation! Tim Fleming is very nice and delivers top star service. As a woman who doesn't know much about cars, I was afraid of being ripped off (my fiancé told me he was quoted $800 for his broken tail light at a different location). I paid a third of that cost! Fleming's is very reasonable, quick, and overall a nice shop. I hope I don't have any other vehicle collisions, but if I do, I'll be coming here. read more

Body work and repainting after an accident? Fleming was great to work with, seems to have good credibility with insurance companies, and did a great job on time and as promised. read more

Brought in my 68 Chevelle for some body work and paint. We discussed what I wanted which was no filler, real metal work, and a high quality paint job that would turn heads. Well, they came through and BIG TIME and killed it. The body work was perfect! They removed some rust, welded in steel in the rear quarter, and primed and painted my baby to perfection. The won "BEST IN SHOW" at 2 Cars and Coffee already and it turns heads everywhere we go. Everyone asks where did I get it painted and I tell the Flemming's! It looks like a $15,000 paint job and it wasn't. These guys did a great job and I'll be brining all my cars to them in the future. Thank you Flemming's! PS - they are a nice family run business doing things they way they should be done! read more

I wish I could give more than 5-stars to this shop. I ran over some icebergs a few days ago. It ripped apart the fender liner of my car. I found this shop on Yelp. I called them, texted them the photos of the issues as they fixed them within 48 hours (including ordered a new part and fixes.) As a woman, I got rip-off from many shops, but this place is reasonable and honest. I recommend this shop! Thank you! read more

Mr. Tim Fleming and his repair crew are fantastic! His staff are true professionals. Alexa and Jade greeted me with a smile and made me feel I was leaving our Audi in safe hands. My son had open his car door with the wind to his back, and the door slammed into a brick wall. The edge of the door was bent and I knew his luxury car would be expensive to repair at the dealership...they always are. I had several other things that needed to be done, e.g., pinstripe needed to be replaced, other dings needed attention, and the rearview mirror needed to be reattached. Two other mechanics in different shops couldn't fixed the mirror, but his repairman, Nick, made it happen. Tim gave me fair price, and I knew he wouldn't "rip" me off and take advantage of me. He didn't cut corners, and now the car looks awesome. If you need someone to trust, I would highly recommend Fleming Automotive Services to everyone. read more

Flemings 1st Choice Autobody - Great Work by Fleming Automotive Services - Body Shops Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We were in an accident that totaled my husband's Mercedes. We wanted to keep the car and got a repair estimate from an auto body shop that works with our insurance company. Remembering how excellent Fleming's had been on a previous repair, we got an estimate from them as well. Not only were they less expensive, our car went from totaled to looking as good as new when they were done. I highly recommend them. read more

These guys are incredibly nice and low key. They used to be in Ballston but have relocated to Alexandria near the DCA airport, acquiring another collision repair center in the process. I dropped my car off and they coordinated everything with insurance. The only challenge we ran into was a sub contractor failing to show up a couple times to complete the work, but once that sub (an auto glass company) finally got it done, the car was back to styling around town--as much as can be done with a minivan... read more

The best body shop ever. These guys are straight shooters. Very Professional, reliable, skillfull, and more importantly, honest. I recommend them 100%. read more

Absolutely the perfect place to do business. Family owned and very very ethical in all aspects of service and repairs of all vehicles

My car received wind damage that partially blew off a cover on its underside, and I feared there might be more damage. I went to Fleming Automotive to check on the extent of the damage and get repairs. I expected to have to leave my car at least overnight, but they quickly identified that the damage was relatively minor and fixed it straight away. The total time I was there was maybe 15 minutes in total. This is far and away the most responsive car repair place I have been to, and I'll surely be coming back if my car is damaged again! read more

Excellent work and customer service, was very satisfied with repairs couldn't tell my car was in a accident

I can't recommend Nick & his team at Flemings highly enough. He was courteous, straightforward, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Even more important, the quality of the repair work was absolutely beautiful. My seven year old Boxster looks brand new. read more

I cannot recommend Fleming Automotive Services enough. My pearly white 2020 Stinger was involved in a hit and run incident and it left ugly scruff marks on my bumper (see photos). Based on the damages, I thought my bumper would have to be repainted. I called Fleming to ask if they provide quotes via photos and video. They said they do, but prefer to see the car in person which makes complete sense. I emailed them with photos and a video of the damage. Let me tell you...they respond to emails faster than some people respond to text messages! I was really happy about that. The quote they provided me was about half of what other body shops gave me. To top it off, I ended up walking away paying even less because they did not have to paint the bumper as we had anticipated. The thing I appreciated MOST was that they consulted me. They were able to remove all the black scruff marks off my car and got it to a point where it looked nearly perfect. They told me that I had the option to take the car home or they can proceed to paint the entire bumper, which would have costed an additional $250. Upon inspecting the bumper, the imperfections were so minimal that I made the decision not to move forward with paint. I was beyond grateful they consulted me. They could have easily painted the bumper and made more money and I wouldn't have known any better, but they didn't do that. To me, this is HUGE. It made me feel that they had my financial interest at heart, which I feel is rare in the automotive industry. I hope that I won't have future needs to come back for body repair, but if I do I'm definitely not going anywhere else. read more

A friend accidentally backed into my parked car and offered to pay for the damage but didn't want to use her insurance. Having just moved to Virginia, and without benefit of an insurance recommendation, I asked a local mechanic to suggest a body shop and he recommended Fleming's First Choice. I am so grateful to have found them! Tim and his crew reunited my bumper and quarter panel and did a great job...in a timely and professional manner... and at an affordable price. I'm happy with how my car looks and my friend is happy with the price. Win/Win! read more

I will be recommending Fleming Automotive Service to everyone I know in the area. I bought a new car in August and had a disagreement with a cement column in my parking garage. To say that I was upset was an understatement. I started searching online and getting quotes from different shops and they were all $$$. I called Fleming and from my first interaction on the phone, I just knew they were the right place to bring my car. The person I spoke with was nice, understanding and helpful. I brought my car in for an estimate on a Tuesday morning and was able to receive the estimate in person in less than 5 minutes. I left the car there and had it back on Friday morning (though it was ready Thursday afternoon, I just wasn't able to pick it up then). The works was beautifully done and my car looks brand new again plus the cost was half of what other places were estimating. And the estimate was exactly what I ended up paying -- no hidden surprise costs. I hope that I don't have to return anytime soon but know that I have a great auto body shop that I can turn to. read more

No wonder they have 5-star reviews. Their customer service is amazing. They are professional and trust worthy.

After a serious accident in my BMW, I was looking for a good, honest bodyshop. A couple of friends recommended Fleming's. What a great choice. They did a super job at the bodywork and repairing the suspension damage. It is a great shop you can trust. read more

I found my way to this little gem a few days after introducing my passenger door to a concrete pillar in the narrow corridors of an underground parking garage. (sound familiar?) When I walked into the shop, I was greeted by the owner himself and his daughter. Within 5 minutes, they provided me a quote that was significantly lower than the other, local quotes I had received. Ironically, the shop right across the street was quoting me exactly twice the price that Fleming quoted me! I guess some of these body shops really only want to entertain the higher-cost jobs. I guess that's North Arlington for you. I digress. From there, the shop took exactly 3 days and my car was as good as new. The interaction with Mr. Fleming was fast/ professional and efficient. It was clear that he cares about his business and his customers. I can confidently say that Mr. Fleming does incredible body work as, while in the shop, I saw some of their other work on two Porsches and an AMG-GT. Also, Mr. Fleming is partnered with the adjacent Mercedes dealership and does what looks like the majority of their body work as well. If you care about your car and want a great quote, you should probably check this place out. read more

Great work and best price by far. Glad I discovered them though I hope I don't need them again--at least for awhile. In appreciation, I'm leaving a five star review. read more

I found this on Yelp after extensive research and reading through many reviews. I just picked up my car & can vouch for the rating. 1. From the very first phone call that I made to Flemings, my call was ALWAYS answered & I was never left in the dark (or confused) about the status of my car. 2. The entire staff always went above and beyond; one example of many is despite their parking lot overflowing with vehicles to be fixed (& staff running around like chickens without heads), they offered to drive me just a couple of blocks to retrieve my rental. 3. My car looks exactly like it did prior to the dents: perfect. Phenomenal cost, repair job and bonus! Excellent customer service despite being the busiest auto body shop I have ever seen. read more

Left me hanging with incomplete work on my Tesla. While I have used Fleming a few times before, this time, after repairing some minor damage on the front fender, they needed to replace a sensor in the fender, requiring a part from Tesla. After not hearing back from Fleming about ten days later I emailed about the situation. They said they were having trouble getting in touch with Tesla. Note that without the sensor the car spatial system doesn't work, disabling parking and some Autopilot features and also not allowing the car to see other cars. In addition, a constant warning is displayed on the dashboard. With no response from Fleming two weeks further, I reached reached out to Tesla myself and got them to replace the sensor by simply scheduling a repair with them. I emailed Fleming again, asking if we could come to terms on the labor for the Tesla work (not the cost of the sensor itself), but they again never responded. I was also offering to bring in for repair another of my cars. I can understand possible issues for them working with Tesla, a large company, but I can't accept Fleming never responding to me. Communication is key in working with customers and to simply ghost a customer, after promising to fix a problem, is unacceptable and frankly, sad. It doesn't jive with their sign in their window front that says "Reputation is Everything." read more
