    A Cheap Body Shop

    A Cheap Body Shop

    (126 reviews)

    I do not typically leave negative reviews, but my experience here warrants one…read more I brought my Audi to Steve, the owner, after I accidentally ripped the shark-fin antenna off the car, damaging both the antenna and roof. I was clear about what I needed: make the roof watertight and restore the electronics affected by the damage. I relied on his expertise, and he assured me everything would work. Steve showed me a salvaged replacement antenna he had obtained for my car. When it apparently could not be used, the shop reinstalled my damaged original antenna without consulting me. The final bill then increased by more than 40%, with Steve explaining that the job required much more work than anticipated and that he was absorbing much of the additional cost. At pickup, only AM/FM worked. The SOS malfunction, Carplay, and other affected electronics remained broken. Steve then told me they lacked the equipment to properly diagnose the Audi electronics and suggested I take it to the dealership. Audi subsequently inspected the work and found the roof damage had not been repaired except touch up paint, my damaged antenna had been secured primarily with silicone and was still loose, and only 1 of 4 antenna connections was functional. Audi advised that I needed a new OEM antenna and still needed a body shop to properly complete the repair. What bothered me most was the follow-up. Steve had asked me to "stay in touch," but when I called with Audi's findings, the conversation became defensive and circular. I was left feeling as though I should have understood the technical limitations of the repair myself. I am not an body shop technician. That is why I hired a professional and relied on his expertise. If this job was beyond the shop's capabilities, it should have been declined or clearly communicated upfront. Steve later offered to install the new antenna I bought, but by then I was no longer comfortable returning the vehicle. I am essentially starting over with the repair. This simply should not have been a job the shop accepted.

    Incredible experience with A Cheap Body Shop! My 2007 Foose Stallion Mustang was hit leaving a…read moreparking lot and I thought it would be totaled for sure. They only made around 200 of these cars so I was nervous to lose it. I took it over to the shop and their owner Steve put me at ease. They were able to rebuild the custom front bumper and remake another body panel that wasn't a reproduction. They sourced and rebuilt parts and put her back together better than new. Very easy process and Steve gave me updates throughout! Would highly recommend!

    Buddy's Auto Repair & Alignment

    I am extremely disappointed with how Buddy's Auto Repair & Alignment handled a serious issue after…read moreservicing my transmission. Shortly after their transmission service, my transmission failed while I was out of state. The service center that inspected the vehicle documented that the transmission fluid level measured approximately twice the specified operating range at operating temperature...was over-filled. They also found low and fluctuating pump pressure and diagnosed an internal pump failure, ultimately recommending replacement of the transmission due to so much internal damage. When I spoke with Brian, the owner, on June 19, I explained what the other shop had found and asked whether the transmission might not have been drained properly before being refilled. Brian immediately responded that it was his "best technician" and that he wouldn't have forgotten to drain it. He told me he would speak with the technician and promised he wouldn't "blow me off." He never called me back. After waiting eighteen days, I called him myself. Instead of following up on the concerns I had raised, the conversation took a very different direction. Brian stated the transmission had been slipping and shuddering (two of the EXACT symptoms I reported to him during our first conversation after experiencing transmission failure) and that this had been documented on the inspection. None of that was mentioned during our first conversation, even though he had the invoice and information in front of him at the time. When I originally picked my vehicle up after the transmission flush and fill (along with wheel alignment and drive belt replacement...general maintenance items), they told me everything was fine and did not mention anything being an issue after working on my vehicle. The original invoice states the transmission was refilled to the proper level using eight quarts of transmission fluid and that the vehicle was test-driven. The subsequent inspection by another service center documented a transmission fluid level well above the specified operating range. Brian ultimately offered to refund the invoiced total amount I paid for their service plus an additional $500 as a customer satisfaction payment. Considering I ultimately had to spend approximately $5,000 to replace the transmission with a remanufactured unit while being majorly inconvenienced when out of state, that offer did little to address the financial impact. What I found unacceptable was the lack of communication, the failure to follow through on a promised callback, and the unwillingness to meaningfully stand behind their work when I was facing a very large repair bill. I hope sharing my experience helps others make an informed decision. I can only speak about my own experience, and based on how this situation was handled, I will never go back to this business.

    I came here on a recommendation. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. They have a…read moregreat system that checks everything on a platform and checks off items that need attention with photos. They will breakdown the need and condition of items the suggest for repair very well and when I received my car back I immediately felt the difference in handling and care. Will be recommending this place to all my gf's!
