Body Works

Great job done

Mel and his team did a great job fixing my truck He took the time to fix it right Hope I dont need to use his services again...But great to know I have someone that I trust

Mel and his people did a GREAT job and in the time frame that we had. Not only was he personable but the entire experience was a pleasure. The scratches became invisible!

When Mel was done, I couldn't tell where the damage had been. The detailing and wax job is first rte. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work and the professionalism I was shown.

Received free written estimate and then set up appointment to have the work done. Dealt with the owner, Mel Mendez, who could not have been more professional and accommodating. Car was ready exactly when promised and looked like new. Very impressed !

I had the unfortunuate experience of having a large tree branch flatten my car. My neighbor came out and suggested BodyWorks right around the corner.I called my Ins company and they tried to get me to use their own EXPRESS shop. I knew you had the right to chose anyone you wanted and happy I had BodyWorks. Mel the owner was fighting for me and I got the car totaled. Thank God or I would be driving a piece of junk.They go the extra mile for you. I will be telling all my family and friends about this business Paulette Benson

The car looked like new when it was returned

Mel is the owner and I always deal with him personally. He is a perfectionist and delivered my car back to me on time and looking like new. I also take my 3 cars to Mel's shop for detailing and they always like like brand new when they are done.

Awesome! We had three estimates from three different companies and The Body Works had the lowest estimate as well as great reviews so we went with them. The staff is very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They repaired the car and also detailed (extra service we opted to include) and did a fantastic job! The car looks great! All work was done in the time they told us it would be done and for the estimated cost. We will definitely use The Body Works whenever we need these services in the future, and highly recommend them! Not a negative, but something to know-they do not take credit cards so bring your checkbook if paying for services yourself. Well worth it!

Replaced bumper and repaired bend in fender; painted fender.

He did an excellant job of matching the paint. He is quite the master of doing this. It looks like new and he did the work in two days. He is very friendly and his price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him again if I need work done on my car.

,I had an estimate from another shop. I was dismayed by the price he gave me and by the fact that he would not be able to attend to my car for 2-3 weeks. I was fortunate to have found The Body Works on Angie's List. Mel Mendez said that he would not simply gloss over the damage, and that he would actually fix the slight dent and match the pain exactly. He is a master paint matcher. I was amazed that I could not detect where the damage had been.

I take all my cars to Mel. He is not inexpensive but he does awsome work. I wouldn't use anyone else. Sometimes your car takes longer than he predicts, but it always done perfect. His auto body work is superb, he has done 4 cars for me.

Excellent job!! I went too far over a parking block at a restaurant, backed up and it tore off a good part of my bumper. Called for several estimates. Body Works not only did it quickly, but could use the same bumper to reattach it. HUGE savings!! I would highly recommend them!!!

I had my door repaired by Body Works on 4-28-15. When I was getting estimates for the car door I ended up choosing Body Works because Mel was very knowledgeable and seemed to be a straight shooter. The price he quoted me was the price I paid which seems to be rare these days. I left a great review because he did a great job. Then after about 6 months I noticed a rough grayish area about (2? x 2'-0?) on the car door. The area in question was right above the repair that was completed and part of the repaint process due to the extant of the repair. I brought the car back to ask Mel if he could take a look at it and see if he would be able to fix the blemish(I was thinking buffing and waxing). I was even willing to pay for it if the price was right. He walked to the door and at first he said he couldn't see it. After a few minutes he was able to see the discolored area. I guess he didn't have time or didn't care about my problem because he started checking his messages on the phone, he then walked over to an estimator that was pricing a job on another vehicle then he made his way back over to me. Very unprofessional. Then came the expert advice, Mel said that he did not know what that was (I find that hard to believe after being in the business for 30 years!!). Mels advice was to have the vehicle detailed to figure out what was on my door and the cost for the detail was $200. He then proceeded to walk away saying he had to go spray a car. Maybe the job was to petty for him and to insult me by saying he didn't know what the grayish area was and also trying to sell me a full detail for only an area of (2? x 2'-0?) that I was asking about. It just happened I was reading another review and the customer was questioning a grayish area on his car also. That customer left a D rating. I thought I found a company that I could trust and count on if I ever needed those services again but I guess its a one and done service economy now. I will never use his services again and I will never recommend his business to anybody. In fact I will say the opposite.

The owner, Mel Mendez, takes his work seriously. His bid was lower than others I obtained and I was pleased with the final result. The job took a little longer to complete than originally estimated and there were some shortfalls in his office administration. Nevertheless, the workmanship was good, Mel was attentive to the jobs in his shop to ensure quality control, and very personable with his customers. It was a good experience with an auto body repair shop - and that is saying something!

Mel is great to work with. Cars were ready when promised. He gives discounts for cash. He takes pride in the cars he sends out in the street and his attention to detail can be seen in all the the historic restorations coming in and out of the shop. If you're looking for someone to do the minimal and just mask the imperfections, he's probably not your guy. Go to Mel if you want a thorough and professional job .

Mel was very responsive and quickly gave an estimate. He even gave me two other places I could go to do comparative estimates. We I booked him for service, he was very accommodating and did a great job. The car is beautiful again!

Mel and his team were very professional. He wanted me to come down to the shop and show me what was wrong, and what needed to be replaced. It is very hard to find up front and honest people these days, and Mel is definitely one of them. My insurance wouldn't pay for my car to get fixed, so I had to pay for everything out of pocket. I am a full-time student, and work part-time to pay the bills. So I don't have much money as it is. Mel was extremely considerate of my situation. If it weren't for Mel, I wouldn't have been able to get my car fixed. I still have some body work that I will need to get done, and I will definitely be bringing my car in to have them do the work. In my opinion, you won't find a more affordable shop. I will refer anyone I know that needs to get work done to The Body Works.

I have used them several times before. For touch up paint replacement parts, and such and also body work. I have found Mel the owner to be very pleasant and professional and their work is wonderful! The few times they did body work you can not tell there was any work done to the car. Their prices are very fair too, and I believe them to be honest.

When we expressed concern to the owner that the repairs were mostly not made, and the ones made were of poor quality, he became quite agitated with us, said we got the detail for $150, and that he was just and quot;throwing inand quot; the touch ups. He left us with an associate, Chris, who was much more pleasant to work with and who tried to cover the many smaller spots using a white touch-up paint. Not perfect, but much better than the poor job we initially found. The owner was extremely unprofessional, very sales-y when trying to get our business, then absolutely rude and unresponsive when asked why the commitment he made had not been fulfilled.

A friend familiar with Mel's work recommended him to me to repair some damage to the side of my car. I went in for the estimate which was for $1500, half of what I expected. He recommended getting estimates from some additional places and gave me names of reputable folks. I decided to go with Body Works in part because he was hopeful he could repair the bumper without replacing it. He expected the work to take three days which was a bit of hardship for me but he said he could call Enterprise and get a good rate on a rental for me which I thought was really going above and beyond. I decided to get by with my bike while the work was done. I talked to Mel on the 3rd day and it turned out that after his folks worked on the bumper all day and had it repaired and ready to go, it cracked when placed back on the car! I was disappointed but Mel was fantastic and did not charge me for the labor his people had put in since he had thought he could repair it. I did have to pay for a replacement bumper but he got that quickly and the final product looks great! They even detailed my car while it was there. This is a very professional, family operation. I had a wonderful experience with them and highly recommend them. My car looks fantastic and I couldn't be happier.

Mel's was the best of three quotes I received by far. I noticed when I arrived that he was working on variety of cars, from Fords to BMWs. He explained in detail what he needed to do and what he could also do to save money. As a woman, I greatly appreciated that he was not condescending. He was friendly, funny and polite, as were the rest of his staff. The quality of work was excellent - my car is an odd color and the paint was matched perfectly. He managed to save a couple of parts which saved me some money. When I arrived to pick it up he went over everything he did again in detail. I feel he is trustworthy, honest and hard-working. I would certainly recommend him again. Also, he does car detailing which I intend to try and some point soon.

I selected this company based on their detailed itemized estimate prepared after a close examination of my 2007 Toyota camry. . Although they are closed on week ends, Mel met us on Sunday so we could drop off car. Goal was to repair damaged bumper, remove mulitple deep stratches on hood and detail car. Work was completed as promised. Mel and staff are deeply invested in the quality of their work and it shows. Bumper repair was indectable, scratches disappeared and entire car gleams, restored to it's original Barcelona red. A nice bonus: they even cleaned and polished the interior.

This place is fantastic. Everything was done beautifully, in a timely manner and with a smile on everyones face. The biggest surprise was the courtesy and respect I received from everyone in the shop. As an example, when I first came in, I was escorted and turned over to the owner by one of the workmen. As in other places. he could have pointed in the direction, or yelled into the garage, but chose to be courteous. I know this may sould silly, but respect for people shows in work performance as well. I would not hesitate to recommend The Body Shop to anyone.
