I brought my bus in looking rough, faded paint, rust spots, the whole thing. I honestly wasn't expecting miracles, just something presentable. What I got back was a completely different vehicle. The finish is smooth, deep, and actually shines. Not that quick spray-over look you see sometimes, this was clearly prepped right and done with care. You can tell they didn't cut corners. Even the areas that were in bad shape before came out clean and consistent. What stood out most was the attention to detail. Edges, seams, hard-to-reach spots, everything looks intentional. No overspray, no uneven patches. It looks like a professional, thought-through job, not a rush job. If you've got something older or beat up and you're wondering if it's even worth repainting, it is, if you bring it here. They brought my bus back to life. On top of great customer service. I would absolutely use them again. read more

Highly Recommended - Outstanding Work and Truly Trustworthy Service I cannot say enough good things about L.B. Auto & Custom in Manassas and the owner, Lionell Bruton. From small jobs like pin-striping to a full front bumper repair, the quality of work has been consistently excellent. Everything is done professionally and to a very high standard. The results look clean, precise, and factory-quality. What really sets this place apart is Lionell himself. He runs the business on relationships and trust, and it shows. He is honest, fair with pricing, and always ready to help with a genuine friendly smile. You never feel like just another job--he treats you like a valued customer and takes real pride in the work. I've been extremely happy with every interaction and every repair. If you need body work or paint in the Manassas area, this is the place to go. Highly recommended. read more

I had the best experience with this young man. His rates were reasonable, he came ahead of time, fast, efficient and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend you give him an opportunity to work on your vehicle. read more

I came to Lionel at around the end of April for a quote for a duct taped bumper and a gnarly scrape on the side door that had rusted. I also have a Prius that is quite the unique turquoise blue, making repairs/painting a little tricker and more pricey. Although I got other quotes, which he encouraged me to do to help me learn about what needed to be done on my car and what average costs for those services were, I knew I wanted to work with him. He took so much time explaining to me what had happened to my car and what he could do for me within my budget. He's so nice, made me feel so comfortable, and I felt confident that he was going to do a good job for a good price. As a younger woman, with this being my very first experience having hefty car repairs, I really felt taken care of and learned a lot about the car process- which was very intimidating to me! You won't catch me going anywhere else for repairs 10/10 service, quality, and kindness! read more

I brought my car here for an estimate after another well-reviewed shop in the DMV quoted me nearly $5K to get my back quarter panel repaired. Lionell gave me a much better price! He is a great friendly guy and made me feel super comfortable leaving my car in his hands. Once I dropped off my vehicle, three days later I was able to go pick it up and the result was FANTASTIC. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone - and will certainly come back here if I ever need work done again! read more

Somehow my son-in-law found Ellen B auto in Lionell fixed his back ended truck up and he was very happy. I picked his truck up for him and met Lionel the owner and was very impressed with his attitude, professionalism, and Customer Service. My wife had one of those accidents that seem to of been caused by gremlins, were the bottom of the front bumper was damaged. So I found his business on yelp and called to get him to give me an estimate. His estimate was so fair and so much less than what I thought it was going to be that I didn't bother getting any others and just asked him to fix it. He got the parts that afternoon I dropped it off in the afternoon and picked it up mid morning of the next day! This is our official body shop from now on. read more

A deer kissed my brand-new SUV in July. I was trying to get my vehicle fixed as soon as possible but the next available time was two months away. I called Mr. Bruton and he had my truck at his shop within a matter of days. He did a SUPERB job on it!!! I highly recommend Mr. Bruton to anyone who is looking for someone who is very professional and takes pride in doing very professional services on their vehicle with the utmost quality care. read more

Had a small accident where I bumped into my garage coming home and thought I'd be out at least $200. Other places wanted me to wait at least 2 weeks just to get an inspection. Here, they took me right away and didn't even charge me for the fix! He even gave me advice for how to fix future scrapes. I will definitely return next time I need my car fixed. Thank you Lionel!! read more

First I took my car to caliber collision and they said they where not able to take a look at my car to give a quote until January 15. I told the lady up front are you kidding just to have someone give me quote I have to wait that long. Their customer was not good either I was the only one in the waiting room and I know she saw me waiting until I mentioned on my phone conversation that was when she looked up at me and finally she ask me can I help you. smh I don't know how these company get a good rating especially the Manassas location. They definitely lost my business even thought they maybe short staff. Anyway as my second choose of any autobody shop since caliber collision couldn't help I decide to take my car to my 2nd choose of 3 picks which was L&B Auto 7 Custom LLC even though I was thinking with me being a female especially single mom with a speical need child they may take advantage of me. I said to myself I can always say not but that end up not being the case after all. Thank God! I want to thank Sammy who was so wonderful and professional through out of the whole process on getting my rear bumper repair. He kept me inform every step of the way. I highly recommend him to anyone! Now he has a new customer for life! Trust me you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Sammy!! S.S. read more

I had a really great experience here. I received an estimate from another body shop, and after dropping off my car, received a call saying my car would need an additional $1,000 worth of work and they they wouldn't be honoring the original estimate. I looked elsewhere and LB was able to help me out the last minute and find a middle price for me car which was great. He did an excellent job repairing the paint on my 2014 Kia Sorento after I had peeling on several panels due to a paint factory defect. I will certainly recommend him in the future! read more

My wife's car and a deer had an unfortunate late night meeting leaving the drivers side door and front end banged up. After 2 days at LB Auto & Custom the car looks better than it did before the accident. Lionell is one of the most genuinely good guys I've met and there is nobody else I'd trust with my car in the future. The quality of the work was perfect, communication was great and his recommendations on how to tackle the job were well appreciated. If you looking for quality work from a shop that's trustworthy and not just trying to make a buck but make sure your taken care of then this is the shop you have to go to. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about this place! Went there to get an estimate for having multiple dents taken out as well as paint work done on the front and rear bumpers of my 2014 Ram 1500. I had fully expected to hear that I needed a full paint job in order to make everything "match".. I did not hear anything like that at all. Lionell actually told me the opposite. He went over the entire truck with me and explained cost saving options (paintless dent repair, sanding/buffing out scratches, etc.) since I was not going through my insurance and paying out of pocket. He also pointed out to me that the truck had been painted before from a previous owner and that they had not done it correctly because the clearcoat was peeling off of some spots. He also pointed to some early signs of rust under the corners of the hood. After sitting down with him to go over the estimate, I was shocked (happily) with his price!! Much lower than other places I had been to. I scheduled a drop off time the following week. I was kept updated of the entire process with pictures (daily) as well as explanations of what was being done. When I got the truck back early the following week, it looked amazing! The paint was blended perfectly and matched, no runs or blemishes and no signs of any dents or rust anywhere. Their customer service was outstanding- not something I am used to being in NOVA for over 25 years. He was straightforward, honest and at no point did I feel like I was being taken advantage of (like other places I have been). This will definitely be my go to place for any body or paint work needed and I highly recommend them! read more

LB saved me thousands! I had some damage to my vehicle, but didn't want to file a claim through my insurance due to already increased rates from adding a new driver to my policy. His prices were fair and reasonable. It's rare that you find this kind of quality work and customer service this day in time! I even learned a few things from him to avoid getting ripped off by other shops! 10/10 would use him again! read more

I was recommended by a friend to go see Lionell. He gave me the best estimate and kept me updated with the whole process of getting my car repaired. He told me that matching the paint was going to be a little bit of a challenge, but he managed to match the paint perfectly. He is a very sweet, kindhearted and very knowledgeable person. I would highly recommend this place. Magali P read more

My car looks great and drives fine as far as I can tell after being bashed up in an accident. I appreciated the honesty and generosity in providing a discount of half off. I initially chose this place because of the reviews as well as the owners relentless saying "well do it right" when I asked for the cheapest price. He seemed to know what he was doing and know how insurance works. Gets 5 stars from me! read more

I had extensive damage to the side of my car. Lionell quoted a competitive price for it. I also need a very quick turnaround for the availability of the vehicle. He went above and beyond in order to make the car look new again and in record time in which I was so thankful for. Hopefully I do not need any more major body work in the future, but if so, I highly recommend LB Auto. read more

5 stars isn't enough! Stop looking you've found! Don't go anywhere else!!! Amazing at their craft!.

We were recommended to LB Auto by a good friend who owned classic cars and said we absolutely need to take my car here for the minor scratches I had on the front. Lionell was very friendly, educational, and passionate about his work. He did a great job on my car, especially since I have a difficult paint color to match. He will absolutely take care of you and your car. read more

Lionell is great! Super nice guy, i hit a mailbox with my Camry and he made it look like new again. I will never go to another body shop again. read more

If you are looking for surprise fees, I'd HIGHLY recommend using Lionell at LB Auto & Custom. The hidden fees were not expected or appreciated. I was referred to Lionell by a local auto shop. After multiple phone calls and asking for quotes, he said he would "take care of me" and said several times the rate was $44 / hr. I wasn't purchasing parts...I just needed to have my sun roof drains cleaned out. I was also informed multiple times they may not get to my car in a timely manner, and they insisted I dropped off my car. I dropped off my car and paid $25 for an Uber to go home. An hour later, I received a call that my car was done. After another ride back, I was charged $100 for less than an hour's worth of work, and an additional $3.50 for using my credit card. Sammy said there was a misunderstanding and he would "take care of me" for wheels I needed restored...which turned into a text message with no instructions and a picture of a business card to another business. Thanks for "taking care of me." read more

So let me start of by saying that my car was involved in a hit and run. I went through my insurance and received an estimate of the repairs. I went to LB to have these repairs done. LB is a really nice guy. He looked at my car and looked at the estimate. The damage was more cosmetic than anything, but he understood why I wanted it fixed. He suggested that I not leave my car since it would take time for the parts to come in. Also, since I would have had to rent a car, he felt it made more sense for me to bring back the car when the parts came. I really appreciated his opinion and was glad that he was being honest and fair in his opinion. So I agreed that I would wait for the parts to come in and he would give me a call when they did arrive. That meeting happened in October and here it is January and I have still not received a call. Maybe there were other customers who had more drastic damages, but some sort of follow up would have been great. At this point I've moved on but I didn't have the best experience and it wasn't my worse. read more

These guys were extremely efficient with their service I would highly recommend going there to get work done. The bodywork on my car was great and everything came out clean. It was reasonably priced and the turn around time of service was really quick. I would recommend this shop for any and all bodywork needs. read more

Folks: I was looking on line for Lionel's number at LB to refer a friend, and saw the prior review and was stunned... That is not the Lionel Bruton that I have known for several years. First: He is an absolute gentlemen and one of the most honest and decent people one will meet. Second: He is an absolute professional and is a perfectionist with his work. Lionel is THE FIRST CHOICE OF PREFERENCE for auto body repair for me - and several neighbors and friends... Indeed, there must be some confusion on the part of the previous commentator, as their complaints appear to be oriented toward a service repair shop. It would not make much sense for a party on Lorton to have work done in Manassas, unless of course they work in Manassas. As Lionel noted, it takes time to do the body work and paint - and for it to dry properly. {Incidentally, you should see the exact paint matches...} And by the way, nobody put me up to writing this... read more

I have been using L&B for a while on all my cars. Recently had my truck in to have rust removed from around the fenders and the undercoat on the frame. As always Lionell and his team did a fantastic job at a very reasonable cost and timely manner. Lionell kept me updated with progress throughout the job with text and photos. read more

Wonderful experience! Our car was involved in a hit and run and our insurance company totaled the car but we wanted to fix it up and just make sure it was safe and legal to drive. After getting very high quotes from other body shops LB Auto was able to fix our car for a very reasonable price and there was a very quick turnaround. In fact they stayed late just to finish the job and turn our car over to us as quickly as possible. Would recommend this place if you want a fair price and good work done! read more

I was referred to them by a friend, it was a wonderful experience! They do awesome work, and are just great people! I Will defiantly do business with them again! read more

Friendly people running the shop and the location is ideal. I had an accident and went through my insurance with no problem. Shop has experience working with insurance companies. Owner's name was Lionell (I think like the train). It snowed back in January (big storm) and I had slid into a ditch. These guys were recommend by a friend. Compared them to Maaco and other shops and the price was better and I felt like I'd get better service since my friend recommended them. Oh, good location because I needed a car for 3 days while they fixed my car. They are literally right next door to an Enterprise so it was easy to get my rental. Also made it super easy to return my rental and pick up my car. Good location. read more

Mr. Lionell has repaired my car 3 times in the past 3 years and each time he has restored it to it's natural beauty. He is very professional, fair and is certainly an expert at his craft. Mr. Lionell really puts the needs of his customer's first. I highly recommend putting the care of your vehicle in his and his team's hands. You can't go wrong. read more

Great service. The Owner has always been extremely helpful. The quality has always been excellent, and the prices are reasonable. The owner goes out of his way to help and provide excellent services. I have coming to the shop for years. I highly recommend the shop. read more

Went in for a very small fix, LB sorted it out (a missing body bolt) in five minutes flat. Now my car looks great again. What a kind lovely man, he refused to take any money for the job. I'll be back L.B. Many thanks, Dancer D. read more

Honest and very affordable quote, fast service, and high quality top-notch work. Outstanding folks to work with. After discovering LB, I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. read more

I was a bit skeptical because I saw a poor review but talking to LB (the owner) He really came across as an honest guy with integrity. His quote was considerably less than the other body shops I visited. I examined his work on other cars that were in the shop. It was the work of a auto body craftsman. I chanced it and turned over my treasured Toyota 4runner to his shop. I just picked up the vehicle. My gut feeling about this guy was right-on. They did a fantastic job! He delivered just like he said he would and explain exactly what they did to restore my vehicle to a like new condition replacing the head-lights and restoring the side mirror. This was not a big job but he treated me well and gave me the best price. I am very satisfied with his business. Don't believe everything you read - believe your instincts, check out the work and make a sound decision on what you see and feel. I did and it paid off plus it saved me some cash! If I need auto body work on any of my vehicles (I have more than I should) LB Auto and Custom is where I will go first! read more

They did a wonderful job of repairing and matching the color on an old car which was an unusual green color. It was reasonably price and the job was efficiently done. I would highly recommend this shop for bodywork. The car looks GREAT! read more
