Simply amazing. This is the second time I've used A. Vargas Body Shop on Magazine Street in New…read moreOrleans, and the experience has been outstanding both times. In a perfect world, none of us would ever deal with car accidents. But in a city like New Orleans, they're often an unavoidable reality. When it happened to me, Alex and his talented team made my vehicle look good as new--maybe even better. The service was exactly what was promised. Pricing was more than fair, with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons--just honest work at a fair cost. And the timing was spot-on. My car was ready exactly when they said it would be, just like when they repaired our Jeep Renegade three years ago. The quality of workmanship speaks for itself. Alex never judged me for wanting to repair my 2019 Ford Fiesta rather than let insurance total it. I love that car--it has barely 50,000 miles and gets 42 mpg on the interstate--and Alex understood that connection. To top it all off, they returned the car cleaned from top to bottom. While I certainly hope I never need a body shop again, it's reassuring to know A. Vargas Body Shop is just a phone call away if I do!

So I decided to go it alone and chose A Vargas. I pull in and ask for an estimate. Instead Alex says the bumper is just loose (no damage) and everything looks fine. He then snaps it back it place. Problem solved. Alex wouldn't accept a payment! He said "it was easy" and I told him it was his expertise and availability to quickly help me that was worth money. Finally I just put some cash in his shirt pocket, waved goodbye and walked away with both of us smiling. I can't image a more trustworthy, professional, and knowledgeable body shop. Don't let the location or the cluttered appearance of the shop stop you. This is a great business.

Please note: this review is NOT about the actual quality of their repairs.  It is only about my…read moreexperience trying to get an estimate, which I'd give a solid 4.5 due to my unusual circumstances. My car has a rain leak, and I know with 100% confidence where it's coming from.  Unfortunately it's one of those scenarios where knowing the problem and actually being able to fix the problem are two different issues.  So before jumping into dramatic DIY repairs, I decided to try to get professional estimates. The catch? I didn't want to take PTO at work to bring my car in. Fradella's was one on a list of shops I ended up calling.  As was expected , I had to go through the circular argument: Them: "You have to bring the car in." Me: " Why?" Them: " So we can see the damage." Me: " The damage is invisible because it's inside the door." Them: " Okay, but you have to bring the car in." And so on. Eventually they agreed that I could email them some pictures and they'd give me an estimate based off that.  I think the person I emailed forgot about it or was out for a little while, because it took a week to get a response.  However I did eventually get an estimate from them without having to bring my car in, and considering how difficult that was with all the places I called, I felt they deserved a good review.

Darren knocked out the estimate and Sue was cordial the entire time. I got my appointment and, like a dummy, I brought my vehicle in a week early. Darren said leave it that they might get to it between the other cars. I got it back and the body work looked great. You can't even tell where the damage was done. And the vehicle was washed. I couldn't be happier with the service. If you need body work done on your vehicle, this is the place. Hopefully, I won't need their service again but I won't hesitate to return if needed. Thanks for the great work!

So I limped home and called my insurance and this location was one of the recommended State Farm body shops. OK. I saw that Harry was a fan and one of my car-guy coworkers likes them too. Sold. Communication was excellent. I dropped my car over the weekend so called them Monday morning. They explained the insurance estimate process to me. And everything went smoothly. Seriously, I emailed them with questions and they answered promptly... I can't even get that sort of response time from other offices, much less a mechanic. The car was ready when they told me and they washed and vacuumed it so it looks great!

It was not surprising to find my tires needed to be replaced, but I ended up getting two new tires and an alignment for a very fair cash price. Pedro gave me an honest assessment of what I needed to have done without pressuring me into a purchase I wasn't ready or able to make. As a woman, there are lots of places that would try to take advantage with scare tactics and assuming you don't know anything about cars, but that's not the vibe here.

Cris Tire charging $165+ per tire (model DH2) that you can order from Amazon for $72 (shipped!) is a bit questionable to begin with. But failing to offer to change out 6-year old TPMS modules as part of the new tire service puts a question mark squarely on this shop's back. Consumers should be warned that the batteries inside tire pressure sensors don't last forever, and just creates another headache (read: money-making opportunity for tire shops) when they go bad. I'm docking Cris an additional star in this review for issuing quotes (for a set of 4 tires) that vary day to day, like it did in our case. There's something suspicious about a place of business that runs the quote up $100 and then agrees to honor the original quote "only if you pay in cash." What?? Nice as they are here, cannot recommend, sorry. I'll stick with my established installers and leave this neighborhood favorite to older folks who don't know the difference. I want to deal with personnel who understand the trade well enough not to give bogus answers to honest questions.
