On a whim, I took a chance on Defiance Auto after finding him on Yelp in Ruston -- a young MOBILE MECHANIC. The gods must've been smiling, because he turned out to be polite, efficient, knowledgeable, and even took the time to research my unusual issue. Hands down, he's the best mechanic I've ever worked with. His prices were more than fair, too. This young man makes thirty veteran mechanics look like Goober Pyle from Mayberry.

I took my 2500 duramax in here a few months ago to have new tires and rims placed on it. I asked if…read morethey were compatible to which they said yes. I get the tires replaced, they do an alignment and they pull my truck out, nearly an hour and a half longer than they told me it would be. Before I leave, I tell them that my TPMS isn't showing any readings. The guy tells me to drive it a few times and the sensors should restore. So I take his word and leave. Of course the sensors never restore and NOW I have an ABS error and a trailer break error as well as a shaking wheel when going above 50mph. So I call and make another appointment. They tell me that the ABS error and trailer brake error had nothing to do with them, but to bring it in and have it realigned. These errors have NEVER shown up until the moment they pulled it out of their garage for the first time. They look at it again and tell me that they reset the sensors and everything should be working fine, and that they've redone the alignment. Again, I leave the store without tire sensors working with the promise it will work after a few drives. Of course, the sensors never return but the alignment is better. I call once again and make another appointment. This time they tell me that the TPMS needs to be replaced, after I was told that everything was compatible on the first tire change. They tell me it's going to cost me another couple hundred to have the TPMs done. They did end up giving me a discount, so I had them install the TPMS anyway. As well as fixing the alignment for the THIRD time. Again, another 1.5 hours longer than they said. Finally, my TPMS works, my alignment is good, BUT my trailer brake system and ABS are still showing errors. I took it to another shop and it turns out they did break my sensors during install of the new tires and rims. WHICH THEY DENIED HAVING ANY PART OF. AVOID THIS SHOP AT ALL COSTS. They don't respect your time, they charge more than any shop in the area, and they deny when things are caused by them. I went in for a tire and rim replacement and ended up going in 3-4 times to have things redone. Take it to someone else. If you're a woman who drives a truck they'll treat you like you're incompetent. I've been told by other shops that they've stopped recommending this place because of their frequent unnecessary repairs, overcharging, and damaging vehicles.

After someone damaged the front end of my car it was worth fixing because the car had low miles at 40,000. Specialty Auto body worked with the insurance of the person who damaged my car and gave them a fair enough price to approved fixing it. I really appreciate that Specialty Auto body cared enough to help me because it took a lot of time and effort to source the parts on their end and wasn't a simple task. They were upfront and honest about the process from the beginning that it would not be a quick turn around and that there would need to be some patience on my end. They followed through, and managed to do it in a reasonable amount of time. Also, the quality of the work is very well done and I'm so glad to see my car restored to its original condition! Thanks a million to Jeremy the shop owner and his son Ryan! You're two of the good ones out there with good hearts. Also, it feels good to support a local family owned business versus going to some shop who just works for the insurance companies, and basically just totals you car and don't really care about you at all. I got really lucky this wasn't the case with Specialty Auto Body. They were there to help me and not screw me like another shop would have. Anyone I know that needs body work I will send your way! So grateful to you guys! Sincerely, Malia

Pretty frustrating experience here for my first time dealing with them…read more I brought my car in for a noise I couldn't pinpoint, I suspected it was in the clutch. It clearly started overheating on my way in, thus the noise was probably the water pump. Quoted me a little more than $500 to replace the water pump, seemed good so I told them to do it. After the water pump fix I was informed that it still had a noise and it needed a new clutch throw out bearing. I had to take their word for it because I could not come listen myself. I had originally been told they could get to it that day, after calling two days later to check in I was told they had not got it apart yet. This is a job that literally took me 3 hours, but a professional shop wasn't done two days later? After taking it apart they told me it was indeed the throw out bearing so I agreed to having it replaced. They called back an hour later telling me the clutch was in fact damaged and also needed replaced. I had no option but to agree to the repair because I needed my vehicle back without them being angry and causing more issues. After everything was over I had spent a solid $3,000 on what was most likely just a water pump. I'm pretty sure they took advantage of the fact that I had no way to verify that the vehicle needed the clutch work they claimed it needed nor could I inspect the parts they removed. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and had already changed this clutch previously, so it's not like I don't know what I'm talking about. I did this clutch replacement and had everything back together and the vehicle on the road literally in a single day. It took these guys a week, and only because I started calling to pressure them since I needed the vehicle back so my wife could get to work, that's why I had called to schedule this repair in the first place. Upon getting the vehicle back the passenger seat was absolutely covered in grease stains where the mechanics climbed in it while working on it without covering it up. So now we have to have the interior detailed in the hopes of getting these grease stains out. I'm pretty frustrated with my first experience here, they came highly recommended, but this is one of the worst shops I've dealt with in a long time. I highly doubt I'll be returning here.
