Scott S.

Oscar is great. Besides being extra nice he's extremely communicative with the options you have, what your budget is, and if it makes sense to work with him. Was completely impressed by his honesty and professionalism. Expect an appointment confirmation email and text as well as an update from Oscar if he is running even just a little behind schedule due to other jobs. Did an awesome job on a pretty beat up 1985 caddy (which I plan on re-painting) so told him not to worry about any scuffs but at the end of the job there weren't any. Would 100% recommend Oscar and The Ding Company. Superb job. A+

My Pilot's repaired!

Oscar was prompt and did a great job fixing my Pilot's ding. A big thank you!! It is very difficult to do any exact color match but you cannot see the fix unless it is pointed out to you.

Car

The ding company did a paint repair, scratch and dent remover and a ceramic coat on my vehicle. Very easy to work with - with fantastic results. Couldn't be happier.

Oscar did an amazing job removing the dent on my car. He arrived on time and when the job was complete the dent was removed.

I had a great experience with Joe and the team at Quality Auto Body. I went in for a quote to…read morereplace my door handle, and they ordered the parts the same afternoon. By the next morning, they called me to let me know the parts were in and had my car fixed in under 2 hours after I dropped it off. As an added bonus, they washed and vacuumed my car as a courtesy, which I really appreciated. From start to finish, the customer service was outstanding. The shop itself was also very clean and comfortable, with drinks and snacks available if you needed to wait. I truly could not recommend Quality Auto Body enough. Fast, professional, friendly service, and excellent attention to detail. I'll definitely be returning for any future auto body needs!

I brought my luxury vehicle in after a collision and left being told I might be "hyper-fixating"…read moreand that what I was seeing could be "mental." I chose this shop because of its relationship with my insurance company. Before work started, I requested OEM parts. The shop submitted the estimate without specific OEM justification, and my insurance company later explained that additional justification could have been submitted. I ultimately paid hundreds of dollars out of pocket because quality mattered to me. When we discussed it by phone, I felt talked at, not listened to, by management with a second person on speaker. To give credit where it's due, after receiving the car back, the passenger side looked great. The driver's side did not. The driver's-side bumper looked misaligned and didn't feel securely attached, and the driver-side headlamp washer cover was pushed inward and not sitting flush. More importantly, it did not look like that before the collision. The vehicle had also been appraised by the dealership only weeks before the accident, and throughout my ownership it had only gone to that same dealership for service and work. I have photos from before the accident, after the accident, and after the repair showing the difference. I brought it back specifically for those concerns. They took it around back, popped the bumper area into place, and returned it with additional paint chips. The driver-side headlamp washer cover was still pushed inward. When I said it still didn't look right, I was told there was essentially nothing more they could do without another estimate. My insurance company told me it's the shop's responsibility to inspect, identify accident-related damage, and prepare the estimate. Insurance has now asked the shop to re-estimate the driver's side, which in my opinion should have been properly assessed from the very beginning. If more damage needs an estimate, estimate it. If you believe it isn't accident-related, explain why. If it needs another inspection, inspect it. Half of a good repair does not make the whole repair complete. Then, while I was describing what I could physically see, I was told I might be "hyper-fixating" and that some of it could be "mental." I did not curse, threaten, or yell. I was a woman expressing frustration about her car, and I walked away feeling dismissed, as if my frustration was being treated as irrationality. There is a difference between a woman being frustrated and a woman being irrational. I came in with a collision-repair concern, not for a psychological evaluation. Address the car. Don't diagnose the customer. That moment made me uncomfortable advocating for myself. I couldn't stop wondering whether the conversation would have sounded the same if a man had been standing beside me. This is not about bashing men. It's about how women are still treated in 2026 especially when we walk into automotive spaces alone and try to handle our own business. Yes, I have a husband. He was away for work. But that should not stop me from being able to handle this without feeling like I need a man beside me to be taken seriously or having my legitimate frustration framed as something being wrong with my mental state by someone who, to my knowledge, was not medically trained or qualified. I left feeling like the most important accessory for a woman at a repair shop isn't OEM. It's a man. To other women: document everything, trust what you see, and don't let anyone talk you out of your own eyes. I'm having the remaining concerns independently evaluated elsewhere and will update this review with the outcome and photos. Since I was told there was essentially "NOTHING more they could do" and that what I was seeing might be "MENTAL." The photos can speak for themselves. "This review reflects my personal experience, recollection, and records."

Two years ago, they replaced the bumper on my Toyota Corolla. That bumper recently detached entirely during a road trip. When I asked them to cover the repair, they declined, citing the two-year gap. A separate auto body shop that inspected the damage confirmed the failure was due to the use of aftermarket parts, despite the fact that I was billed for dealership-grade parts. When I raised this, I was told the failure must have resulted from other body work done on my car in the interim, calling me a liar. There is no record of any such work. The only service on my vehicle since has been routine inspections. Monica Guerra and her staff have been dishonest throughout this process, and I'm deeply disappointed in how they've handled it. $2000 to fix their mistake.

Stan was immediately welcoming and patient as I was obviously stressed and asked a million questions. The most amazing thing is that he helped me figure out next steps with my insurance, etc. that I had 0 clue about!! I had NO idea to do any of those things and he walked me through everything that needed to get done. I made those phone calls outside the shop and he even asked for an update to make sure I was okay. He was so kind and could have absolutely given me a crazy high estimate like other places I visited, but instead just wanted to help me. He told me that we are overcomers and overcome this I shall :') He went out of his way to help a stranger, and in his words, do the right thing, rather than make a profit and that speaks strongly to his character. So even though I didn't even use the place, I highly recommend!! And if I ever god forbid am in another accident, this is where I will go :)

I brought it in for a repair estimate, but the tech instead spent a few minutes (in the blazing sun) and was able to get it all reconnected. I tried to pay, he told me not to worry about it. He did say that the clips are now weak and if it keeps detaching and I need a replacement, I'd be looking at about $1800. I thought that was a little high, but looking it up, it seems like there's extra labor for things like recalibrating the parking/collision sensors.

I would never recommend Alfredo Collision to anyone…read more I brought my vehicle to this shop after a collision that affected the rear passenger-side wheel. The repair required replacing certain parts related to the suspension and wheel area. Unfortunately, my experience with this place was extremely frustrating from beginning to end. From the start, the woman working there who identifies herself as the Accounting Manager was rude, unprofessional, and very unhelpful. She behaved as if she owned the business, yet showed very little competence or willingness to resolve issues. I even asked to speak with the owner, Alfredo, and was given incorrect information about who the owner actually was. The biggest problem is that my vehicle was returned to me in worse condition than before the repair. After picking it up, the car started making loud noises that it never had before. This makes me seriously question the quality of the work performed. It also explains why they never wanted to provide any warranty for their labor. In addition, the shop kept my vehicle longer than expected and still attempted to charge $50 per day in late fees, which I find completely unreasonable considering the delays and the condition in which my car was returned. At this point, I plan to have my vehicle independently inspected to verify the quality of the work performed. If the inspection confirms my concerns, I will take the appropriate legal action. It is very disappointing to see a business treat customers this way. I honestly believe the owner may not be aware of how poorly this place is being managed and how much damage this type of behavior is doing to the reputation of the shop. I strongly recommend that anyone considering this place look elsewhere for repairs.

My insurance company wanted me to go to their "preferred" body shop but after looking at their reviews, I decided to do my own search for customer feedback on south Austin body shops and came across City Collision. I'm glad I did! I found City Collision and took my car over to see Travis. He even found additional work that needed to be done that my insurance company's inspector had missed. He contacted the appraiser and got the additional repairs authorized and was very quick in making the needed repairs. When I first arrived, I saw that this shop didn't have a bunch of employees so I thought that it might take a while to get my car back. I was a bit concerned because I didn't have rental reimbursement on my insurance policy so I was paying out of pocket for my rental. I told Travis about this and he assured me that he would get my car finished as soon as possible. He didn't disappoint! It was completely done in only 3 days (not counting the delay from my insurance company about authorizing the additional repairs which was out of his control). The front end of my car looks better than before I hit the coyote! It looks like it's brand new right off of the showroom floor! Awesome work! I highly recommend taking your vehicle to see Travis at City Collision if you're in need some repairs either minor or major.
