He truly goes above and beyond to make sure you receive the best service possible. Mr. Joey communicated with me every step of the way and made sure everything was handled in a timely manner. I never felt left in the dark, and he made the entire experience stress-free. He is also very reasonable with his work and pricing, and you can tell he genuinely puts his customers first. His main goal is making sure you leave happy, and that kind of care is hard to find these days. On top of the excellent service, he was one of the kindest people I've come across in a very long time. People like him truly go a long way, and it makes such a difference when someone genuinely cares about their customers. I'm so grateful for the care and professionalism I received. I highly recommend Harold's Body Shop and especially Mr. Joey if you want someone who will treat you right and make sure the job is done well.

I took my car over and spoke with Mike and Henry on the issue. I was really surprised on how well they treated me.

They saved me a ton of money on getting the car back to a driveable state without pushing additional unneeded repairs. When I picked up the car, not only did they fix the main problem, but also tightened my belts that were squealing with no additional cost. These guys are AWESOME!.

I brought my vehicle to Allen's Automotive Services after leaving from another shop that had done a…read morediagnostic test and it determined that I needed transmission work/repair done. So I was able to drive it to Allen's Automotive on Utica St. in Metairie, La. I explain the repair work according to the diagnostic reading from the first shop who weren't able to do the work, the employee asked what code did the diagnostic machine give, I called the other shop and the tech sent via text, the code as well as a picture as it was still in his machine I shared it with D. DillenKoffer at Allen's Automotive Services, who then said to me yes we can take care of it for you. So I left my vehicle there at Allen's Automotive. Couple days go by and I get an email from Allen's Automotive in the form of a bill for $3,557.37, which I didn't have but I was relieved to see that there was financing available, so I had the work financed and approved in late January (2026) I got a text that my vehicle was ready to be picked up and because I had the work financed that all was a go I had filled out the necessary documents for the financing part and that it was cleared and I was able to come and get my vehicle, however when I arrived I was told by V. April that it didn't go thru (financing) but actually what he did was added the labor for a part I had supplied which I did not have a problem with but it was just the way he went about it, stating that the financing didn't go thru. I had started receiving emails asking to review Allen's Automotive Services at the time I wasn't quite ready to review Allen's Automotive Services. So I have my vehicle about two months and I noticed oil leaking from the exact spot where the work was performed, so I brought the vehicle back once I noticed the transmission oil leaking, once back at the shop explaining the oil leak I noticed that I was treated differently from when I initially went in for the work to be done, the tech got on it and tightened the bolts of the transmission pan, he used a small hand held battery charged rachet to tighten the bolts. I then get in my vehicle and left, I think that was in mid March, on or about August 4th or so I noticed another oil leak in my driveway under the vehicle so I took pictures of the leak under vehicle as well as oil on the transmission bolts on front of pan and on the rear pan bolts as well as the side pan bolts also, I got under vehicle and touched my finger on one of the bolts that had an oil droplet on it and rubbed it between my fingers, the color of the oil was red as in transmission oil. I called the office and asked if I could get a copy of a receipt that I had misplaced, the lady asked my name or number she located the receipt and sent it to me via email I wasn't sure if work was still under warranty so I brought the vehicle back to the shop again. I was explaining that the transmission was leaking oil again one of the techs said he'd come out and check transmission oil and top transmission oil off and that they weren't able to do anything else that day because they were full. The tech check trans oil and topped it off. He and I walk back in the office and he checks the work order just to be sure it was covered under the warranty the tech then tells me to bring the vehicle back Tuesday August 11th so I asked the tech if I could get something in writing because if I had gotten a trip out of town that it might've brought me over the warranty miles and another guy in the office answered as if he was irritated with my presence and questioning concerning the warranty and he snapped at me saying look we're gonna honor your warranty alright and I asked who he was and he replied in a puffed up manner oh I'm the GM over the shops, and if I say we're gonna honor it we will, it was V. April. So I leave the shop drove to New Orleans and then back to my home in Laplace, La that was Friday August 7th. I came home and parked vehicle and didn't move or drive it till Tuesday August 11th when I brought the vehicle back and it was parked across the street from the shop in back of some Banquet Hall, Wednesday (today) I get a text explaining inspection performed and that it was found to be motor oil blowing back on transmission pan bolts and oil leaking from valve covers on engine and I was sent another bill totaling over $6,000.00 for that work which I declined. I really don't/didn't feel they handle this properly and my warranty wasn't honored, nothing was done about transmission leak cause I know what I touched on my fingers was red transmission fluid, no one can make me think it was anything else.

I was originally boycotting this place because in 1988; I attempted to get a front end alignment and after the alignment, it still pulled and shimmied- they gave me a refund and then the manager at time said wait and said she thought she had an idea and pulled the car back on the rack. She said that the tires might be bad. Sure enough, had high spots on one tire but she refused to take my car off the rack stating her guy "did his job" which was false; if he DID his job, he would have checked the tires FIRST before he attempted to align. You can't perform an accurate alignment if the tires aren't round anymore! Glad I gave them a second chance decades later! They even sent me a TEXT thanking me for my business!
