    Our pups chilling while Ron was hooking up our ailing truck.
    Anna W.

    We were two hours into our great Texas road trip when we blew out all our transmission fluid on Hwy 71. We pulled into the median as the truck just quit. Vehicles were whizzing by us at an insane pace. To say we were terrified is an understatement. I called Lonestar Towing & Recovery, and it was like a literal angel came to save us! Fifteen minutes later, here comes Ron with flashing lights to tow us to safety. He recommended an honest mechanic (Brian @ The Auto Shop) where we dropped off our truck, then he drove us to Lost Pines Toyota Rental where we rented a vehicle and continued our vacation with only a few hours delay! We spent the rest of our trip thanking God that we broke down in what was the best possible scenario. We called who is obviously the best wrecker driver in the state (see ALL the previous reviews) and, possibly, the entire country! Thank you Ron!!! We picked up our truck on the way home (it was a minor issue fixed at a very reasonable price), and we never missed a beat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

    They are crooks!!!! Please see attached photo. When asked why we were being charged 3 days, we were told by Amy (front desk) "Because the vehicle was brought in at 11:58 pm and that counts as a full day. When I told her how suspicious that sounded, she rudely replied- I don't care that's what time it came in. A Man by the name of Bobby (back office) also rudely chimed in and said- if that's what the paperwork says, that's what it is. A back and forth occurred between myself, Amy, and Bobby with things such as Amy saying, "Who cares, it's not you vehicle anyway", and Bobby saying, "You are running your mouth (with a hand motion) a lot and you need to stop". I paid the bill and asked to make sure the times were on my receipt. I have already made 3 calls to places such as the BBB and 2 to local law enforcement and will not stop until I have received my money back. I will write a letter to the Mayor by 10/20/2023. I will never tolerate liers and thieves and this business is full of disrespectful lying thieves!!!!!!!! Please note the time requested, the time towed, and the time impounded. Please also note it was towed from Elgin to the business in Bastrop.

    Here's what he is up-charging me $3400 for.

    I needed a tire change. Ron arrived from the next town over in under an hour. Very pleased with his professionalism and quality of work.

    Dropped my SUV off on a Saturday back in December 2025, since I was rear ended, to have the other…read moreinsurance review the damage. Customer Service was great, the person stated, I would get a call later in the week after the insurance company checked the car to see what the total damage will be. Never received any calls from Crash Champion. Only received a call from USAA, which was the person, who was at fault, insurance, stating they need my authorization to pick up my SUV to get fixed. I was confused, told them my car is at Crash Champion, waiting to be fixed and can be fixed there! The representative from USAA, stated, "didn't Crash Champion, tell you that the car can't be fixed, it's TOTALLED!" I was like "WTF"! My car is drivable.. I was rear ended! Basically, USAA, wanted my permission to tow my SUV, so they can salvage and chop up my car for parts. I was upset, cause Crash Champion, never reached out to ... NO Communication what so ever! My SUV only needed a new rear bumper and new rear 3rd gate! That's it! Went to pick up my SUV at Crash Champion, I asked the lady in the front, "how much will it cost to fix my SUV, I will pay cash to you guys to get it fixed". She said "we cannot fix it for you here, you would need to take it to a mom and pop shop", I was shocked. Basically.. translate to... we want more money from the insurance company than what it really cost to fix it. I was able to have my SUV fixed from another collision place in Austin, the cost was only $1,400 with parts and labor. Sucks for Bastrop residents that they are only one of the two big auto collision repair shops. This place needs to work on customer service.. lack of communication, I was never notified and my attorney that was handling my auto accident case, was never notified!

    You guys/girls are so awesome I haven't had the best of luck with my new vehicle but you've been so…read moreawesome with service, updates, etc. Thank yall truly great servic!

    they were so easy to work with and kind!!! communication was easy, mostly over text which I likeread more

    I would NOT recommend Villafranca's for any body and paint work you need done on your vehicle. My…read moretrusting nature was taken advantage of. We turned over our truck on April 22, 2021 for some major repairs. Tony assured us they could do the repairs and he said it would take 2-3 weeks. We finally retrieved our truck on July 23, 2021 after 13 weeks and 1 day of being in their shop. The work done was not up to our expectations. Villafranca's initially turned our truck over to us on June 25, 2021 but there were so many things wrong with it we returned to their shop and talked to Tony. He promised to fix everything on our list and it would be done in a few days, a week at the most - well, that turned into 4 weeks! I honestly think they took on a job that was too big for them but instead of being honest with us and telling us in the beginning; they took our $7,000.00 and proceeded to try and fix it themselves. Each deadline turned into another week and another and another... My husband and I finally went and picked up our truck which was still parked in their shop, neither Tony nor Joe were around that day. Our truck still needs much needed repairs and now we have to go elsewhere and spend even more money to fix what they could not. I gave them 1 star because they are a great towing company and their receptionist is awesome, but as far as paint and body I would advise you take your vehicle anywhere else.
