I damaged my 1998 Honda Accord's right front bumper hitting a garage wall. I took car to one auto body shop. The shop said it would not be worth repairing and may be hard to find replacement bumper due to age of car. I then took car to VM Auto Body. The young lady looked at my car to access the damage. She said it could be repaired with replacement bumper. She gave me a estimate of the repair. She also said it could be repaired in a couple of days. I left the car to be repaired. I returned two days later after confirming car was repaired. The car looked new with new bumper. Bumper matched perfectly with rest of car's body. Also VM had washed the car. read more

I had such a great experience with VM Auto Body! Marcos and Kenia were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They are honest, professional, quick, and truly great at what they do. It can be hard to find an auto body shop you genuinely trust, but they made the entire process easy and stress-free. They were upfront with me, communicated clearly, and got everything taken care of quickly without sacrificing the quality of their work. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend VM Auto Body to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and high-quality work. Marcos and Kenia, thank you so much for taking such great care of me and my car! I will absolutely be recommending you to everyone I know read more

Excellent, excellent experience today at this body shop! I definitely see why they're so highly rated! The body shop that I normally go to in the Huntington area of Alexandria was closed today (Saturday) so I took a shot on this shop, as it was recommended as a next best option by ChatGPT (lol). Had an issue with the driver's side engine shield under my car coming loose because I'd pulled in too close to a curb. Didn't want to pay an exorbitant fee to replace it so took it to this shop to see if they might be able to repair it. They took a quick look and said they could fix it by replacing the screw and screwing it back in. They did the job on the spot in less than 20 minutes for such a miniscule quoted price that I added a 50% tip on top. What was especially nice was they saved me from having to take time off work later during the week to get the issue fixed. They made a great first impression on me and they'll now be the first shop I check with if I need auto body work in the future. read more

Incredible service! Kenya was great to work with and the car looks good as new! Best price in town too. They also washed, waxed, and cleaned the interior! She kept me updated every step of the way. Thanks again for the great service. read more

Needed a quick repair of a few dings in both front and rear bumper before daughter took car to college. VM was able to do it next day and got it done a day early. Looks like new. Super easy to deal with, and very responsive. 5-Star experience. Definitely recommend! read more

Such an amazing spot! They did an exceptional job fixing up my car and they also detailed my car for free when I picked it up. Pricing was so fair and less expensive than a lot of other spots I got quotes from. They were also communicative and reliable. Thank you! read more

VM Autobody Two years ago, after an automobile detailer unknowingly burnished the top of my 2009 Tacoma, I went to VM Autobody on Duke Street in Alexandria, Virginia. I got an estimate that seemed reasonable, agreed to having just the exterior top of the cab repainted, and within the time promised the truck was back, looking great. It still looks great. This year rust started to eat away at the hood of the Tacoma, so given my positive experience with VM in the past I went back. Once again, the price was fair, the time needed was agreed to, and the finished hood looks great. The work was professional, there were no unpleasant surprises, and I'm very happy with the results. I'm pushing 70 and I hope to never buy another vehicle - I know I'll never find a Tacoma that is as reliable as mine. I have great confidence in VM Autobody being there to keep my truck's exterior in good shape for a long time to come. read more

Truly exceptional work and value! My classic FJ of 20 years is ready to go for another 20 years. Great find.

Great body shop! I received multiple estimates from other shops in the area, and each one suggested different repairs that might be needed. Even after comparing all of them, this shop still offered the best balance of price, quality of work, and customer service. They were very responsive and accommodating with scheduling. The staff carefully explained every charge and took the time to answer all of my questions, which made the whole process much less stressful. They also helped arrange a rental car for me while my vehicle was being repaired, which I really appreciated. Overall, a very professional and trustworthy experience. read more

There is a reason that VM Auto Body has many FIVE star reviews; and that's simply because they are the best in their industry. I first used VM back in 2022 when my car was involved in a "hit and run" in a parking lot and after the first fabulous encounter, I've referred them to at least 10 other folks, and all of them have raved about their experience. I, unfortunately, had the occaision to once again call upon the expert services of VM Auto body. Without getting into the details (since my incident is still under investigation), I was recently driving in DC when I was involved in a collision. My car came out on the "losing end" with the driver's side mirror, wheel well, fender, door, and headlight sustaining major damage. After contacting my insurance, they referred to me one of their "preferred shops." When I contacted said auto body shop (which will remain anonymous), they mentioned they were "so busy," it would be 2 weeks before they could in-take my vehicle. I wasn't crazy about that response time; plus their reviews on Yelp are quite mediocre...which runs contrary to their Google reviews. Not thrilled with the prospect of being without "street legal" transportation or having to pay out of pocket for a rental car, I contact VM, and of course, they provided superior service! The office manager, Kim, was quick to respond on the phone and told me VM could in-take me that day...not two weeks. When I dropped off the car, I filled out their processing form with the insurance info (contact information with phone numbers is always helpful), and she mentioned VM would take care of interfacing with the insurance company. How easy is that? The longest part of the ordeal was waiting for my insurance to perform their estimate, since VM is not a "preferred vendor." But once the estimate was completed and approved, it was a short 2 DAYS for the VM to complete the work. And as is their general practice, the interior of the car got a "mini-detail," with a full vacuum and surfaces wiped down. In addition to the body work, during the estimate process, it was also determined my vehicle would require an alignment, which VM also handled since they also perform mechanical work on cars, such as brakes, oil changes, etc. As for the costs of the repairs, let's just say the ACTUAL FINAL total amount was lower than what the insurance company's "perferred shop" quoted me over the phone. I cannnot recommend VM Auto Body enough for their professionalism and the quality of work they provide to their customers! read more

Quick and easy! Great job and reasonable price. I'm glad we found your shop. Thanks. Hopefully we won't need your services again!

VM Auto Body does amazing work and excellent service! I've used their services multiple times for scratched surfaces, dents as well as removing gouges in rims. They perfectly match difficult paint colors and car looks perfect like nothing happened! I 100% recommend their services! A± rating. read more

Very professional and completed in the time that they said and estimated quote matched the final cost.

Great shop, they stick to their schedule and deliver amazing quality. Thank you. Will use them again if needed.

Drover 45 minutes each way (so 1 1/2 hours) to get a quote since they don't give quotes on the phone. Very simple thing I wanted. Kept messaging and asking for this quote, was told many timeframes and never received one. I repeat, very simple task was being quoted for a body shop. I would not recommend. read more

They did outstanding job replacing my 2019 Honda Civic rear bumper. Paint quality and installation was superb. And they also washed the car and cleaned the interior. Highly recommend! read more

Vihelmo and his team are great. I had work done to the frame and a windshield replaced. Both were done at very reasonable cost and with high quality. read more

I could not be happier with the service I received from VM Auto Body. They are extremely professional. Do amazing work! Their prices are VERY fair; I really trust them. I'm disappointed my car was hit, but very happy to have found VM Auto Body! read more

Best auto shop around. I always take all my cars here and refer friends and family. They always do the fastest and best job. Other shops took over a month repairing my car and VM auto body will have the same work corrected and fixed in a week or 2 at most. They also provide rentals and have shown me things on my car that were fixed improperly by other shops. The only shop I go to now. read more

I had a terrific experience with VM Auto Body. My car looks like new. The work was done faster than the estimate, adhering to the cost estimate. In fact, I was going to just go with a quick paint job on one small portion but they made the repair anyway at no extra cost. I highly recommend this shop. I am so pleased. I'm telling all my friends about my experience. Thank you! read more

So nice the work that was done and with short notice too. Thanks for great job! Interior cleaning was done very well and same for the exterior read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about this auto body shop! They truly go above and beyond for their customers. I was receiving push back from bad insurance companies and they worked with me to get my car issues completely resolved! Not only did they look out for me when I needed it most, but they also made my car look and feel brand new. I'd like to say it's dealership ready! The ride is so smooth now, and I honestly feel like I just drove it off the lot again!!! Car troubles are stressful, but the team here was incredibly kind, patient, and sweet throughout the whole process, and I could feel that they genuinely cared about helping me. They showed me an experience I won't forget and don't regret!!!! I am beyond grateful for everything they did. If you want a shop that delivers excellent work and treats you like family, this is the place to go. I'll forever recommend them over any other place to anyone needing MECHANICAL AND BODY repairs. HUGE THANK YOU TO THIS AMAZING TEAM! I received: Front bumper repair, new side mirror and tire/rim. On top of an alignment & suspension repair. They also fully detail the vehicle. 20/10 experience!!! read more

Fantastic shop...I will be a repeat client. I provided the front coil-over struts and upper control arms. They installed those 4 items for less than half of what the dealership quoted. Been almost a week and everything feels 100%. Front desk lady is extremely nice and professional.​ read more

Hell yes I'll give them 5 stars! First of all, about $200 less than another estimate. Second, Kim was awesome and explained everything, and I got a PhD in car paint in the process. Third, the car came back and just looked better all around, they even gave the inside a nice basic cleaning. And fourth, the gash for which I came in for near the driver's side door was gone. Cant even tell what happened, and the paint was a perfect match. Well done all, thanks again. read more

Great service and excellent work. Car looks as good as when i bought it. Drives well everything works great.

I will never look for another auto body shop again. VM Auto Body is honest, efficient, skilled, kind and all around amazing. Their response time by phone, text or email is prompt. Kim was my first point of contact online when requesting a quote, which was half of what I got from another shop. She is lovely to interact with and knows her stuff. When I came in to drop off my car, I was greeted by, I believe the owner, who was equally great to interact with. My car was ready for pick up days earlier than expected and when I got it back, the bumper and taillight looked amazing and they cleaned it inside and out. It is absolutely the extra effort and details that mean so much. I would recommend VM Auto Body to anyone in search of an auto body shop in the DMV area. read more

Great and fast quality work. I took my 2016 Nissan 370z Nismo for a front bumper paint job. They delivered a quality painted bumper with a same paint if not new finish. All within a reasonable price and time frame of 1-2 days. read more

Our car got sideswiped, the front had scratches and dents. Contacted VM Auto Body through Yelp because they had amazing reviews - which was important to us, and they gave us the best quote. Called and Kimberly promptly returned my call and scheduled me. Took the car in on Thursday morning and they said it would be ready by Saturday (other auto body shops also needed 3 days). To our pleasant surprise, they called on Friday saying the car would be ready Friday afternoon! The car looks brand new. AND they cleaned the inside. The final price was exactly what was quoted. Adding one more 5 star review here! Thank you, Vihelmo, Kimberly and team!!! read more

A great little family-owned auto body business that takes quality and customer service seriously. Great work on my Audi SQ5! Body and paint are perfect again. They took the car in right away and delivered it back when they said. The price was reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone here in Alexandria. read more

If you're looking for an auto shop, VM Autobody is the place to go. Literally, look no further. Kimberly, manages the desk, and she knows EXACTLY what she's talking about. I messaged the shop on Yelp to get a quote to fix a dent in my back door and it was HALF the price of the other quotes I received. So I'd say the pricing is more than fair. Not only did I have a dent, but I had the aftermath damage of a parking lot "mobile dent repair" scammer surrounding the dent as well. They initially said they would need 3 days but I was able to get my car back the next day WITH an oil change and *complimentary* inside detailing as well. You won't regret it! read more

I'll try and post before and after pictures. Thanks Team! read more

I've got to hand it to Kimberly and Vihelmo, they successfully exceeded my expectations. Here's the deal, I walk in seeking an estimate that I'd pay for cosmetic body work (usual street parking dings and scratches accumulated over several years). Kimberly's customer service is discrete and professional. She coordinated for the owner, Vihelmo, to provide what I thought was a very reasonable out-the-door estimate. This estimate was the same that I paid when all work was complete 5-days later. The body / paint / polish work and exterior / interior detail are excellent. The vehicle looks outstanding and what impressed me most is that the team took it upon themselves to even buff out my hazy headlights. Didn't ask them too, they took it of their own professional standards and also provided it complimentary. They are obviously very proud of their work, their work ethic in my opinion is above reproach and I am beyond impressed and satisfied. Dare I say it, but I enjoyed obtaining a quote and completing business with VM Auto Body. Their prompt and reasonable quote, timely quality work and their overall professional disposition earns my highest recommendation. read more

Honest, good quality service, excellent work, overall 10/10, and very very fast! Thank you guys 5 stars

My old car failed the annual safety inspection due to a rusted floor panel near the right rear door. I reached out to several places and VM Auto Body was one of two places that said they could do the work. They didn't have space when I stopped by, so I arranged to drop the car off a couple days later so they could get it up on a lift and get a proper estimate of the work to be done. Kimberly was very understanding and helpful. In the meantime, I stopped by another place and was quoted $600-800 based on the picture and description I provided. They put it up on the lift while I was there and told me they'd send me an estimate in the next couple days. I was floored to get a written estimate from them (the other shop) for $3.3k+! I returned to VM Auto Body and dropped my car off overnight. Kimberly got back to me with a couple of options, and I chose the "fix it right" option. They took a few days to do the work because they had to remove the fuel tank, drive axle, catalytic converter, and fuel lines, as well as cut out a good size chunk of the floor panel and replace it. When they were done, I drove it straight to the inspection station and passed with no issues. And, the best part - it was half the price of the other place at under $1.7k. Oh! And they gave the car a good cleaning inside and out! Unexpected perk but it made the 22yo car look and feel young again! TL;DR - Kimberly was great (understanding, sympathetic, accommodating), they did good work, and they were half the price of a nearby body shop. I definitely recommend. read more

Great quality work for a manageable price, flexible scheduling, friendly staff.

I have never experienced such GREAT customer service. Kim and Vihelmo were amazing stepping me through their process of how they were planning on fixing my car while also giving me updates while it was getting fixed! I scratched up the front bumper of my Mercedes in my work's parking garage and was nervous to take it anywhere being that I am new to the area but VM Auto Body made me feel like family and made sure I felt reassured that everything would work out! They were even kind enough to vacuum out my car and make it look brand spanking new when I picked it up, showing they go above and beyond for their customers. I have since recommended them to all my coworkers since this parking garage was designed by idiots! Seriously can not express how great VM Auto Body was, you won't regret using them! -Olivia read more
