My truck has been hit 4 times, the first 2 I went to places that the other insurance sent me to did not do well, one even made my truck worse.When I went to Texas auto refinishing they did a fantastic job and even fixed the problem that the last place had made worse. From the moment I went in until the time I left, I was well taken care of. The ladies in the office were very kind and professional. Greg was the one who I had the most contact with and he was always willing to explain exactly what was going on and he dealt with the insurance and made sure that everything was fixed and done correctly. If you do find yourself in an accident, this is the place that I would recommend. I hope you never need them, but if you do, they were able to restore my truck to my satisfaction and I'm pretty sure they will do they same for you.

C & S Body Shop

So I decided to give them an opportunity to earn my business and when I tell you. The customer service was bar none. Lupe made sure I was taken care. He went above and beyond to ensure I was able to get to the near by enterprise so I could pick up my rental that the insurance company reserved for me. Not only that he explained very well the process of next steps to ensure my vehicle was setup for a seamless repair. The service was done very quickly once the insurance company processed their part of the claim. Then once I returned he went over the vehicle with me and also took care of some missing paint on the vehicle that wasn't apart of the claim complementary as most other shop would charge for something like this as I have paid to get done in this same type of scenario. The quality of the repair was beyond my expectations. I'm glad I found C&S bodyshop and hopefully I don't have any other accidents but if I do. This is the only place I will take my vehicle for repairs. Thanks for everything Lupe. C&S is a hidden gem in Creedmore/Buda.

YOU FOUND YOUR SHOP!! LOOK NO FURTHER!! If you are reading…read morethis, you were like me reading Yelp, Google reviews, reading other shop reviews until you went cross-eyed. I can count the times I did a review on some product or service on one hand. So Lupe and his amazing crew inspired me to write another one. Words to describe these guys- outstanding, professional, integrity, knowledgeable, and honest. I initially took my VW Rabbit to another shop (Classic Collision on South Manchaca Rd) and they were abrasive, rude, and wanted to charge me twice the price that Lupe did for less work! So avoid them and come here. Get some good sleep and just bring your car to Lupe. Now I know why they have 5-star reviews!

This business most likely will be taking advantage of customers through deceptive pricing practices…read moreand excessive markups in several ways: 1. Excessive Markups Beyond Industry Norms While a reasonable markup on parts is expected, marking up parts by 100% to 200%--especially when parts are widely available at lower prices--can be exploitative. Luxury vehicle owners may be particularly vulnerable because they expect higher costs but may not realize they are being charged far beyond fair market value. 2. False or Inflated Charges Some shops may add unnecessary fees, such as: Non-existent parts or labor: Charging for components that were never replaced or for work that was never performed. "Shop supplies" fees: A vague charge for basic materials (rags, bolts, etc.) that should already be factored into labor costs. Duplicate labor charges: Charging multiple times for labor that was already covered under another line item. 3. Misrepresenting Parts as OEM or Premium A shop might install cheaper aftermarket parts but charge the customer as if they were getting expensive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. In some cases, used or refurbished parts may be billed at full new part prices. 4. Taking Advantage of Insurance Claims When insurance is paying, a shop may inflate prices, knowing the customer is not paying out of pocket. Some repair shops bill insurers for high-end parts while installing lower-cost alternatives. 5. Lack of Pricing Transparency Some businesses avoid sharing part costs with customers, making it hard for them to compare prices. Without itemized invoices, customers may not realize they are being overcharged. How Customers Can Protect Themselves Request a breakdown of parts and labor costs before authorizing repairs. Compare part prices online or call multiple shops for quotes. Ask for old parts back to verify replacements were actually made. Check reviews and complaints about the shop, especially regarding pricing issues. By combining excessive markups with deceptive billing, a shop can extract far more money than is fair, turning what should be a standard repair into a financial burden for the customer.

This guy that he sent had to come back because break line and components came off next day while driving. I have pics and texts to prove. My GM 6.2 V8 come to find out common problem for that motor lifters went out so I went to him for the engine replacement. His price quoted was pretty good so I gave him a shot. My car was not even drivable this whole time (we had to wait on engine and things for months) yet I get a call the day he test drives it for the first time and he tells me I need new steering column. The car did not go in for steering issues. It was completely fine. He blames it on wear and tire from my lift and big tires. I call the people who did my lift and I called covert Cadillac certified mechanics and gave the history of car and lift and all and they called BS. My fault for not driving to Frank's place to see for myself. So I pick it up after engine replacement and steering column replacement. I get not but a mile down road from his shop and no acceleration and engine is just revving up loud . I coast off the road to luckily a gas station right there. What looks like oil and grease is splattered all over undercarriage and side and back windows. I have pics of all this. Transmission line came off. I won't give any more specific on this because I'm in process of filing the lawsuit and taking him to court. So He has a guy come meet me, I took video of his mechanics actions and what he did and Frank telling him on the phone I'm good to go, needless to say he screwed up. I get home and next day the car does it again right as I drive out of my home. I call Frank to get it towed back to his shop which is about 45 min to an hour from Lakeway. Frank gets car back, now he tells me I need new transmission. After transmission I go back to car to pickup and I go to open my door and there was mechanic grease all over headliner and seats, spilled oil on my rubber mats, bird shit all over the outside and dust and pollen caked the interior. He left windows cracked. I took pics of everything as proof. He decides to offer me a detail, so he sends me down the road. He paid for it yet I waited 3 hours. What I'm paid for my time in work you could say was a bigger loss. The fact alone my car was in that condition when he called to tell me it was ready is reason alone you shouldn't use him. I've included pics with this post. I could go on with several other smaller things I asked him to do while he had my car for engine replacement and transmission repair that I needed done. He never fixed them. I again have proof where he acknowledges he forgot so now I have to reschedule to have him finish the job. I also recorded most of our phone conversations that prove he apologizes for messing up. It came to the point where I was recording the convos because prior to me doing that it was just word salad on his part and I knew it this point I needed to document for the court. You would be amazed how many texts I have where I have had to constantly follow up and check on him after he would give me a supposed timeline or update with a promise he would keep me updated. I'm convinced all these reviews on here that are high stars aren't legit whatsoever. I have meticulously documented everything with pics, texts and phone conversations. If you're smart and reading this don't give him your business no matter how well quoted he may be . He may try to defend himself with a reply like some others he's done to on here. I've got it all though m, the truth. I was always extremely nice in all my texts to him, I was at the mercy of his screw ups and didn't want to be a jerk. No matter what when your rude or a jerk you run the risk to be even more screwed over so I chose to take high road and he knows it. I've verified and shown all my proof to several different master General Motors Master technicians and they all came back with resounding response that Frank was at fault. So now it will be in the courts hands and I will update this once it's over. For anyone that would like to know more you can contact me. I've got all you would need to run as fast as you can from this mechanic. I've even documented some new mechanics that showed me what things he did that they couldn't believe from when he did the engine replacement. His shop spliced so many wires and I took video the moment the mechanics found these issues and they talk on camera about it. I've asked Frank over the last several weeks and really last 6 months to send me an itemized list of repairs like a receipt. His reply was he texted me the cost every time he had to charge me for something. Last thing, he never once showed up on time for any of the jobs that he did. I have proof of his reasons for being late and apologies for every one of them. What kind of professional does that. All the more reason to believe these reviews are fake
