VM Auto Body went above and beyond in fixing my damaged car in July 2022. Kimberly knows insurance inside and out and expertly took care of negotiating with State Farm. Plus she was able to secure a rental car at the last minute due to friendly relations with Enterprise car rental. The owner, VM, inspected my damaged car to make sure it was safe to drive when it looked as if there were no rental cars to be had -- just because he's a nice guy. He also turned around the repair in record time. Very grateful to both for making the horrible experience of being hit less vexing. read more

I needed body work on my Genesis g90. Contacted HOA NGO of VM Auto Body to see if they would do the work. NGO said they would need pictures of the damage. I sent him the pictures... no response. Texted him to determine whether or not VM would be able to do the work. NGO told me they would need my VIN. I sent him the VIN... again, no response. Texted again, next day he sent text saying he never got the VIN (?). Resent the VIN... again no response. Retexted VM again. NGO replied saying "Gimme a second". 24 hours later I still haven't heard back from VM. Texted again... now NGO says they have to see the car in person. Obviously VM does not want the work and for whatever reason think it's ok to jerk people around. I wasted 3 days trying to get a reasonable response from these people. My recommendation is to try ANYONE ELSE. No matter how bad they are, they'll be better than these guys. Stay far away! read more

They did a great job repairing a scraped bumper on my husband's Honda Pilot. The office manager is fantastic and was really responsive even on New Year's Eve. The quote was accurate and everything was done within the estimated time frame. Totally worth the drive to Alexandria. Thank you VM! read more

They were accommodating and responsive. They worked with my budget. They came out to see my car and did a walkthrough of each thing and even some.of the expected prices for each. 5/5. Over and above! read more

VM Auto Body - Popping RED calibers on my Benz!! - Body Shops Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Fixed my Lexus is 300 front and rear bumper perfectly. Customer service was extremely excellent. Thank you

This shop is excellent. Great communication and very nice work. They needed to get a part that was slightly more expensive ($30.00), took the time to explain why, and asked for my approval. Turn around time was fast. I left very impressed and will use them again. read more

Look no further!! This is, hands-down, THE best Auto Body shop that I have ever worked with, and I am not even in the area! Extraordinary customer service starting, with Kimberly! I had a very special request, that of repainting a steel, spray painted (automotive paint) sculpture scratched and damaged during shipping to Virginia. I sent pictures of the scratched sculpture, received immediately a very fair quote, and, days later an impeccably repainted sculpture was ready to be picked up. All coordinated remotely! Wish I could give 10 stars to such an honest, trustworthy professional like Vihelmo and his team. I have told my family and friends in the area about this place. Wish he had an auto body shop in Oregon. read more

My car was involved in a hit and run! They took out the dents and painted the door that got hit. They did an amazing job repairing the car, it looked like the hit and run never occurred. I was so impressed by their work! They went above and beyond for my car! Also everyone at VM Auto was so kind and answered all my questions! This is honestly the best body shop I've ever been to, and I would recommend to anyone! Shout out to Kimberly for being so awesome read more

I scraped up the side of my car back door panel and initially got a quote of 1600+ from a dealer collision center and they said it'd take weeks to get the car in and then another week to fix it. I submitted a quote request to VM and they gave me one about $1k less than the dealer and said I could bring it in and they'd have it fixed in three days. The work they did was spectacular and flawless and they saved me so much money and time. I will be recommending this shop to everyone I know moving forward. Great folks. Thank you! read more

My bumper got hit in a garage around the holidays. Given the scratches plus a couple of other scratches that had come over time, I decided to look into getting the bumper repaired. I was skeptical because friends said it would be expensive and it likely wouldn't look the way it did when I bought it. I reached out to several body shops in the area and received 5-page estimates detailing how they were coming up with prices $1000+. I reached out to VM Auto Body and they came at a way more reasonable price that made me willing to have the service done. Due to the great reviews, I decided to go for it. Service was professional, kind and importantly, honest. They didn't try to upsell me, there were no surprises on cost and they stuck by their estimate. They clearly know what they're doing and I am so grateful. WOW! They not only saved my bumper, but you cannot tell it's not brand new! I'm not sure what magic they worked, but it was so impressive. On top of that, I was out of town and they dropped the car off at my apartment building which is ~10 min from their shop. If I had to get more repairs done, I wouldn't waste my time looking anywhere else. read more

Great service and competitive price. They repainted my rear bumper and it looks like new now. There were some issues with my wiper replacement but the staff fixed it in 15 minutes. Will recommend to friends :) read more

After getting into an accident a friend recommended VM Auto Body to fix my car. They did such a great job! Kimberly was extremely responsive and dealt with the hassle of the insurance company and rental car set up. She kept me posted with any updates and returned my car as new completely detailed in record time. I will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Outstanding service and workmanship!!! I requested estimates from multiple shops through Yelp. This shop provided *by far* the most reasonable quote to fix a dent I caused in my rear passenger side door leaving a parking garage spot (darn those cement pillars!!) Vihelmo was quick to provide me the estimate and schedule an appointment that worked best for my schedule. I picked up my car today and was blown away with how amazing my car looked. There was no trace of the dent in the side door and my car looked brand new. I paid the amount of the original estimate even though they clearly went above and beyond with detailing. I am so grateful for their amazing work and will definitely be recommending their shop to anyone in need of service. VM Auto Body--thank you, thank you, thank you!! read more

VM Auto Body - After - Amazing!!! - Body Shops Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

See all

Kimberly and her crew are both sincere and professional. They have done a fine job thus far, and I look forward to them helping me further.

I walked in to the shop and off the bat there service was top notch. It was my first time but I found the entire staff to be trustworthy and NOT money hungry or trying to upcharge me. In fact they suggested serval cost saving methods. They even had my car fixed a day earlier! I highly recommend this shop based off of the service alone and of course the end work was exactly what I needed for my Tesla. read more

Outstanding experience! Professional, courteous, and knowledgeable are key traits of Vihelmo, Kimberly, and Peter of VM Auto Body. Fantastic, dedicated, and caring service. VM Auto Body succeeded where others have failed. The team went beyond what could have been expected during the 4th of July weekend. While moving my son to an apartment in Alexandria. On the 5th floor of the parking garage, the trailer jumped off the hitch and the receiver became mangled. This happened at noon on Saturday, July 3rd. We were in panic, as I needed to be back to work at Yorktown, VA on Tuesday, July 6th. My wife and I tried calling any place that could repair our trailer. Very few places were open and most could not help us until Monday. Since we had USAA towing, we were not worried about getting the trailer out of the parking garage. We were wrong. Our insurance, USAA, coordinated for a towing company but then the towing company called and said they could not tow the trailer due to the limited clearance of 6'8". In the meantime, my wife found VM Auto Body open and Kimberly, the Service Manager, said they could help. Kimberly and the owner, Vihelmo, decided to come see the trailer to assess the problem. This happen after the shop closed at 3pm. This was above and beyond anything we could have expected. My wife said they were angels to help us. Vihelmo's assessment was that the mangled receiver could not safely be repaired--the receiver had to be replaced. After explain our towing dilemma, Kimberly coordinated for Peter from Phoenix Towing & Recovery to come out the next day. The next day Peter arrived with a positive attitude and excited about the challenge to get our trailer out of the garage. This occurred on Sunday, the 4th of July. Peter assured us that he would not abandon the effort and that our trailer was going to get moved so it could be repaired. Additionally, working with Peter ensured our options for moving the trailer were heard and applied a successful solution. It is great to have an issue discussed, coordinated, and resolved. True to his word, we got it out of the garage and towed to VM Auto Body. At noon, to make room for the trailer, Vihelmo met us at the shop. I was shocked and impressed with the owner coming out on Sunday, July 4th to help us. Most companies would not even answer the phone let alone the owner coming out on a national holiday. The entire team, Vihelmo, Kimberly, and Peter, truly cared and wanted to help our family. I was able to get the new receiver at Harbor Freight so they could start working on the repair first thing on Monday morning. My wife was a wreak worrying that the trailer could not get fixed in time before going home. With extreme relief, Kimberly called at 1100 am on Monday morning to say it was fixed and ready for pick up. I could not believe how quickly it was repaired. Many thanks for the professional welding job done by Kevin and Antonio. In addition they undercoated the receiver to prevent any future rust issues. This was above and beyond our expectation. It is refreshing to meet such a friendly, customer orientated, and courteous representatives in today's busy world. The team's friendly persona, great sense of urgency, and knowledge of their craft is extremely refreshing. Key to our experience was Peter and Vihelmo's confident and honest opinions for getting our trailer fixed. In particular, Peter's honesty and pride in workmanship in doing the job correctly and professionally was exemplary. This was paramount for having the job done right the first time. The team's detailed approach and confidence resulted in getting us home. My wife and I truly appreciate getting this issue resolved. Please pass my appreciation and thanks to Kimberly, Peter, and employees Kevin and Antonio for a job well done. Thank you again for the professionalism and expedited service over a holiday weekend. Words cannot express your thoughtfulness and support in resolving our issue. Unquestionably, I give my full endorsement to VM Auto Body. Keep up the good work! Respectfully, Jonny G. Grigorian Lieutenant Colonel United States Army Retired read more

I had a really great experience with VM Auto Body. My car had some superficial scratches, and deep scratches that I wanted to have taken care of. I ended up having a dent fixed, scratches buffed and the rest were painted. They really worked with me to give me the best price possible and the work completed was phenomenal. When I picked my car up it was like a fresh new penny. They detailed my car before releasing it to me. I would definitely recommend VM Auto Body. Thanks Kimberly for everything! read more

Excellent customer service, friendly and responsive. Repairs to my front bumper were perfect and work was completed ahead of schedule.

VM Autobody was amazing. They gave me a significantly better price than any other quote, they repaired the entire hood of my car and the latch. They were communicative and my car is perfect.

They did a great job...quickly, and for an honest price. Kim was honest about the options for the repair, and so easy to work with. They saved me hundreds compared to other estimates.

The team at VM was quick to get me a quote. They offered a competitive value. They were kind enough to pick up my damaged car since I was worried about driving it. It was returned fixed, washed, and vacuumed. I honestly couldn't ask for anything more. Would definitely recommend. read more

I can't say enough about VM Auto Body, I'd give them 6 stars if I could. Someone hit our car and it needed a new fender. I requested a quote through Yelp, and Kimberly responded super fast with a very fair quote. Throughout the whole process, Kimberly's customer service was first rate. Really, the service from everyone at VM was amazing. It almost felt like someone called in a favor and asked them to treat me like a VIP. They fixed my car in just a few days, and the repair looks great. Not only that, but they noticed that my hood release lever was broken, and fixed that for me in a few hours. And they did it for nothing. I obviously hope I don't need any more body work done on my cars, but accidents happen. And next time it does, I will not hesitate to go back to VM Auto Body. read more

VM auto body did a fantastic job on my car it looks brand new!!!! They were able to repair all the dents, scratches and rust for almost half the price other places were charging.

I bought a used car last March that had several marks along the bumper. Some were surface level, others looked deeper. I requested a quote from VM Autobody, and they responded very quickly. The whole process from quote to picking up my beautifully touched up car was very efficient and pleasant. They offered the best quote and took the time to explain what they were charging for. As someone who has numerous experiences in the past of mechanics overcharging me, this was really appreciated. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

They did a perfect job on my car and I HIGHLY recommend! I dropped it off Monday night and it was ready Wednesday afternoon! Prices were great also! read more

I am more than impressed with the work at VM auto body! I brought my car in for dent repair and they quoted me a fantastic price that I couldn't find from anywhere else. My car was ready sooner than scheduled and it was cleaned from the inside and washed on the out for nothing extra! I highly recommend VM auto body! read more

I am very pleased with the service and quality from VM auto body. I received several quotes from other places and they were the best. They went above and beyond to get the parts needed to fix my car timely and were very communicative during the process. The work itself was excellent and done quickly! I will go back if I ever have a need and would 100% recommend. read more

My experience with VM Auto Body shop from the get go was way better than I'd expected! I reached out via Yelp the day after my side mirror on my Mazda had been broken and a few days earlier I'd scraped the front right bumper alongside a column at a grocery store. Kimberly got right back to me asking some follow up questions and provided an estimate that was very reasonable. I was able to drop off my car the same day and appreciated the interaction due to straightforward explanations of the costs and repairs. Since I live close, Kimberly offered to drop off my car when the repairs were done, going way above and beyond. Just got my car back (3 days later - not in a rush) and the work is excellent along with the fact that they vacuumed and cleaned my car. I will definitely recommend VM Auto Body to friends in the area. read more

I requested a quote for body work through YELP on my 2018 Honda Accord after getting an unsuprisingly outrageous quote from my Honda Dealer (Chantilly, VA). VM Autobody (Alexandria, VA) was the first to respond and was able to take me for a next day, early morning quote. They gave me a very reasonable quote for a bumper replacement, more than 50% less than the dealership quote. The backup sensor had also popped inside the bumper. They told me they'd try to avoid replacing it if possible, which ended up being the case. Moreover, they picked up the car from my home and arranged to hang onto my car for several extra days when I was unable to pick it up after the repair had completed. Plus, they not only washed the car--they detailed the inside. I can't tell you how thrilled I was to get such good service. I was suspicious they were angling for a great YELP review, but they didn't even ask. I was in any case eager to write up their great service and honored to be their first review! read more
