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.

I have recommended this place dozens of times. Presently, they do not return calls or emails when they are in possession of your car. Keep it for weeks and weeks and return it without fixing the issues and In worse shape with additional problems when you do get it back. I have repeatedly brought my car in and had it there weeks and weeks only to be ignored and car not fixed. Once they have your money, they could care less if you have your car. Never, ever go to this business. It's the most unprofessional , scam I've ever experienced. This place should be shut down.

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!

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.

I really can not say enough amazing things about Whitey. I wrecked my car and went through my…read moreinsurance to get it fixed. I have been blown away by my dealings with Altraquick. Whitey is straight forward, honest and very hard working. If he says he's going to do something, it gets done PLUS some extra. To deal with a car guy that I just KNEW was an honest straight shooter was such a relief. Then, on top of that, he does AMAZING WORK!! My car literally glimmered in the sun. He even touched up some nicks and scrapes on other parts of the car because he had some extra paint and he is just that nice of a guy. My hubby's car needs body work done next and it's more involved than mine was. We're already on Whitey's calendar to bring that car in soon. My mom used him too and he did incredible work for her at an amazing price. Obviously, his services are not something you want to HAVE to get, but I can whole heartedly say he's the best I've ever dealt with and he's on my speed dial for anytime I need him. He is a pleasure to work with and has a quick turn around time. Altraquick and Whitey are the real deal!

My car was in their shop in Metairie from January 2024 till end of September 2024. I show my car at Cruisin the Coast annual car show in October and informed them I would need the car back by mid-September. I received a decent price quote from this shop and was told it was because of the length of time I was willing to wait for my vehicle. Both the painter and owner/manager said my car would be ready way before October. It turned out to be a real nightmare. In my opinion, my car will never be the same. My full story below. Well here goes, the work was terribly done and not completed, the length of time promised was much longer than promised, the staff are very rude (foul language used in threatening manner) and treat customers horribly, poor management skills seems to be one of their biggest issues so, don't expect help from Oscar the owner/manager. It got to the point where I considered calling the police on the painter who seems to have many issues going on and feels the need to threaten customers who are not satisfied with the work done or lack there of. It is my opinion that management lets their only painter get away with poor treatment of customers because they are short handed and he was the only one doing the painting. The painter complained about his job and bosses the entire time my vehicle was there. He kept pushing up the date my car would be ready up while working on other cars that were brought in later than mine. I truly believe that they work on the cars that come in from insurance companies they are possibly contracted with and/or get referrals from before private paying customers. If you want good customer service, your vehicle taken care of, painted and put together correctly then my opinion is, don't take it here. Do your research first. You will see other similar reviews for this company. I made my mistake by not reading the reviews first. The owner/manager is no help at all when customers have a problem because they have only one painter now (painter's helper got into argument with painter and quit while my car was in shop) and it seems the owner doesn't want to do the work himself to make his customers happy. I ended up taking my car without the work being completed because I was afraid the painter and others there would damage it further. Customer satisfaction, quality work and value for your dollar are definitely not priorities at Color Tech in Metairie.
