    Improper use of glue on door causing paint damage.

    I'm really disappointed that I have to write this. I initially had a great experience with this shop, even leaving a glowing review. However, they now refuse to stand behind their work. I was in a vehicle accident almost seven years ago and was recommended this shop by a former co-worker.The person I originally worked with is no longer there working here, and now I can't even get a callback from the owner, who avoids responsibility. Recently, I noticed that the original door trim, which was held on by double-sided tape, started peeling and oxidizing. I decided to use a heat gun to remove it. On the passenger side, everything went smoothly.However, on the driver's side, where LOAB did the repair work, I discovered they had used a very strong adhesive to reattach the trim without consulting me. This wasn't communicated to me at the time. When I tried to remove the trim, it pulled off the paint and clear coat on both doors, leaving noticeable damage (see attached photos).I called LOAB, hoping they would stand behind their work, but each time I asked to speak with the owner, I was told he was too busy to call me back. Instead, the office staff informed me that they would not help, despite this issue being entirely due to their negligence and failure to follow industry standards.I have changed my 5-star review to 1 star because this shop is a scam. After 45 years in business, if they rely on poorly executed work and cutting corners, it's time to reconsider their practices. This negative review could have been avoided if the owner had any integrity and simply returned my call. It's pathetic to have office staff handle the situation instead of addressing it personally.

    Travis needed the car for an hour to remove the front end and inspect the extent of any further undercarriage damage.

(Not always the case at mechanics/ car service businesses.) He answered all of my questions in detail. Never did I feel rushed or pressured. We decided on bringing the car by to get a better view and quote. Unlike other places I went to before calling Rudy, they made it seem like it was going to be a lot of time and money, however Rudy honestly told me that it would be a pretty easy fix and he could do it in just a couple of days! Paired with a very reasonable starting price quote as well as more options and pricing for potential future maintenance. Very professional, genuine, and fair. When I got my car back the damage was completely gone and had a seamless paint job to match! Literally like it never happened! I had trust that the job would get done and be good, but Rudy honestly exceeded my expectations, and without breaking the bank! I am so grateful to have found someone local who I can trust with any and all auto body repairs! His work speaks for itself, and really lives up to the quality name. If you are looking to feel confident that the job is going to get done right, call Rudy!

    I have been a customer of Villa Automotive since 2010, when I moved here for Cal Poly. For many…read moreyears, I trusted your shop with my vehicle and maintained a long standing relationship with your staff. I knew your employees by name and remember Miss Kitty, the shop cat who used to chase mice around the property. Because of this history, I expected to be treated with seriousness, professionalism, and respect. That has not been my recent experience. In spring 2025, Villa Automotive replaced the front panel on my car. The repair took approximately eight days. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, the panel was blue while my car is black. This error was immediately obvious and should never have passed inspection. Correcting it required additional time and inconvenience on my part. This reflects a lack of basic quality control. The more serious issue involves my splash shield. I brought my vehicle in because the shield had started to come loose. Your shop completed the service on a Saturday and charged me one hundred dollars. Less than two weeks later, while driving up the grade, the splash shield detached from the vehicle entirely. This created a dangerous situation and forced me to pull over on the grade to retrieve it from the roadway. When I inspected the shield, I discovered it had been secured using zip ties. Charging one hundred dollars for this type of temporary and unsafe repair is unacceptable. This method failed almost immediately and directly compromised my safety. When I returned to the shop with the failed part and requested a refund, I was told no and informed that this was the best that could be done. This response made it clear that my safety concerns were not being taken seriously. I felt dismissed rather than heard, despite presenting clear evidence that the repair had failed and put me at risk. After more than a decade of loyalty, I expected accountability and a willingness to stand behind your work. Instead, my concerns were minimized and disregarded. I no longer trust Villa Automotive to perform safe or competent repairs, nor do I feel confident that customer safety is a priority. As a result, I will obviously not be returning.
