T & J Auto Body Repair

Great service! I had scratched the back of my car and brought it in for an estimate. That process took all of 5 minutes, then the repair was done in just 3 days and looked great. He even fixed an extra damaged area on my car without me charging any extra. Highly recommend!

One star rating– too much, deserve NO STARS. I had a bike rack malfunction on my car trunk and had two dents which needed to be fixed. Trusted this place would do a decent job. They took longer than guaranteed and to my surprise they did a poor job. Rather than painting the whole trunk they painted half way through. They didn’t indicate or mention that was going to be the plan. From the moment I took the car you were able to see bubbles and now I can see the painting peeling around the car insignia. You can see the paint difference, texture, bubbles, scratches from the bond used to cover the bumps and the line where they «left off» from the painting job.
They claim they have lifetime warranty but why trust them to cover their initial crappy job. Much rather take it somewhere else where they are 1. honest 2. hard working 3. high quality. You are lacking all of the above.
Overrated, poor/​horrendous quality of job.

Excellent work. Quick turnaround. One year guarantee on paint work. What else can one ask for?!
I highly recommend this place. Glennie is great and keeps things well organized and moving fast.

So my experience at T&J was a bit rocky at first… I brought my new car to have minor body work done. When I came to get it the first time the dent was still visible, the owner was extremely apologetic and couldn’t really believe it wasn’t caught before I got there. No sweat, I left it with him another day. But when I went back the next day it was pouring rain and since they rushed to get it done the paint started to bubble from the water. Again the owner felt terrible that I had to bring the car back to him the next day to have the area repainted. The reason I give T&J 4 stars is because when I picked the car up the last time it had been completely cleaned and detailed AND he checked my tire pressure free of charge (the car looked brand new)! I could tell these types of mess ups rarely happen because he went above and beyond to make it right. My car looks amazing and at the price originally quoted. Thanks again T&J!

Ok — I have very few reviews in my life but seriously READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY!
I am from Europe and I have a brand new German. And I really know my stuff when it comes to cars. We had a scratch on our rear bumper along with some body dent because of hitting a pole in a parking garage. I got quotes from all over the place, some places even wanted me to make an appt for a simple quote and gave me a date a week away (I mean come on! Really?).
Anyway, everyone else’s quote was similar and they required me to leave the car in their shop for 2 to 3 days. These guys gave me a price 30% less than the closest, and said I can drop it off in the morning and pick it up in the evening. Not even overnight.
RESULT: Absolutely perfect job. Like new. Very good price. Very friendly people. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED. Just don’t go in there with the attitude of purchasing someone with your money for a stupid body shop. Just be a decent person, go in there respecting their work and acknowledging the fact that they are running a business. You will get a great price and a great service guaranteed.
Good people.

I brought my car in for new rear brakes and to repair my bumper from people who think space between cars are simply suggestions when parallel parking.
Pros:
— Work on the bumper was great — the color matched, the exterior was cleaned, I could not see any earlier damages
— They dealt with the insurance company after my initial claim with Geico for any adjustments
— They were open on holidays and fairly easy to contact, open for car drop-​offs
— Very informal attitude
— No additional services were pushed
— Everyone is super friendly there so I feel really bad writing this review
— Their location is convenient for people who don’t want to bother with rental cars — it is right off the Clarendon metro
Cons:
— My paperwork received does not document the costs or work that was done for the rear bumper. I simply have the claim reference number. For all I know they could have done under the claim amount and kept the change. I also don’t like this for record keeping purposes when I am ready to sell the car
— I paid $ 100 more than what I thought was agreed upon for the brake work. I called several places for quotes and theirs was middle of the line. When I went in to have the bumper damage quoted they gave me another price and wrote it on a post-​it. I referred to that price multiple times during phone conversations with the owners and it was «yeah-​yeah» and when I showed up to pay it was mentioned that the post-​it had shown a different price but they could not find it (shame on me for not requesting a copy). I don’t know why they never mentioned the price difference when I called several times and mentioned it. In the end this is what had made me decide to go with these guys instead of another company however because of the price difference it would have been cheaper for me to go somewhere else so I do feel slightly baited.
— The cleaning of the car was ok — nothing inside was cleaned (no repairs were requested inside) but it seems the car was sprayed or maybe the steering wheel was wiped down or something so it smelled clean while clearly not having been touched. The exterior was nice but of course not as nice as it would be if I did it myself.
— My car showed low tire pressure with the warning light on. They should have noticed this and inflated the tire before giving me back my car (the issue of the tire deflating has nothing to do with them though). I asked them to inflate the tires and they did it quickly and readily with no fuss.
— The work took slightly longer than expected. I was told 2 – 3 days and ended up having it ready by the morning of the 4^th day. This is ok — I had communicated to them I was in no rush.
— My mileage in the paperwork was funky. When I submitted my car I wrote down the mileage and the odometer showed that they had driven my car 2 miles. On their paperwork (attached to my original sheet) they wrote the «in» mileage at about 30 miles earlier. I don’t know why they would do this unless maybe it would be protocol to drive a car for X miles after a certain service is done and they did not do it.

I brought my Mazda CX-​5 in here for auto body repair and they did a terrific job of doing what they said they would in the time they said it would take. That’s genuinely all I can ask for. I’m not a car nut so I can’t get too technical about their work, but they do what they say and that’s enough for me.
As an aside, they did need to recall our car briefly for a quick fix to previous work they had done — a minor annoyance since we had to take it back but the repair lasted about 10 minutes and we were good to go. That knocks this rating down to 4 stars, but I’d recommend them.

I like these guys, I’ve gone here 3 – 4 time for tire service. Once had a minor glitch, but talked to Juan the owner and they got me fixed up and out the door. Come here, you’ll be happy you did.

I got a brake replacement and body repair. The work they provided is good and I could not expect any better. They provided fast service and a fair price. So, I am pleased and recommend them.

I would definitely recommend them to anybody! I am new to the area and had to have a hole in my front bumper fixed after scraping a concrete pillar. Glenn was wonderful. He gave me a really fair price and got the work finished very quickly. My car looks brand new!

Pretty nice guys here. Great prices. I’ve been coming here for two years now to have my G35 repairs taken care of.

I’ve brought my car here several times, once after a pretty bad fender bender. They are always very courteous and took care of my car as quickly as possible. Did a good job on the repairs and charged a fair price. Would definitely recommend.

Of all things, an auto body repair shop prompts me to write my first review on Unilocal.Fortunately my interaction with T & J was limited, but it told me all I needed.
A month or so ago, my car received some scratches (a scratch patch of sorts, 3in x 2in) on the passenger side door, from where someone had rested something muddy against it. Having grown up working on my own cars, I was frustrated, but glad to to recognize it as a clear coat deep scratch that could be buffed out, I decided to swing by T&J on my way home from work as its close to home.
I got out of my car and made my way towards a group of men lounging in what appeared to be the main garage area. Asked politely if someone could assist with a quote on a minor buff. Blank stares, and one of the group pointed me in the way of a small door, to the main office. Fair enough. I enter the main office to find no one. After a few minutes I poke my head in the back, and am able to catch someones eye, and again asked for some assistance, which, by the reaction you would have though was an unreasonable request.
I explain to him that I need some scratches buffed out, and asked if he could take a look. I’m not sure if it was my suit and tie that gave off the impression that I thought a carburetor was something that I stopped eating when trying to lose weight, or maybe my entry level German luxury coupe screamed ignorant yuppie (it probably does, but thats beside the point). One quick glance at the car, and he exclaimed «$ 400 minimum, we’ll have to repaint the whole panel». Somewhat taken aback, I explained how i was confident it could be buffed out, to which he scoffed, and wished me «good luck with that».
Needless to say I ran for the hills, went to a shop I have worked with in the past (albeit further away), got a quote for $ 30 and 20 minutes to buff it out. Car looks good as new, not a single blemish remains.
My review is long, but it really rustled my jimmies. I can only imagine how many people get ripped off every week here. I dont object to paying a premium for a local business, but this is a joke.

Highly recommended! They were ½ the price of other estimates and done in 1 day vs. 3 – 4 for a minor scuff on the bumper.

Excellent shop for fast, efficient body work, coming with a great location.
Don’t let the façade fool you, they have plenty of room to take care of a job. They addressed my needs promptly and provided a fair price. I tried several other body shops in Arlington, and was both yelled at and referred elsewhere.
My job was not large, and I dropped the car off on Monday morning and picked it up Tuesday at 6pm. The work was done properly. They have a long term customer here.

I absolutely love this place. I had cracked my front bumper, and took it to them for an estimate. They were much cheaper than any other place that I had received a quote from in the area, and the work was fantastic. I’m very particular about my car so I was worried about the paint matching. It matched perfectly. I will be back if I’m unlucky enough to need more body work, and I’ll be recommending friends :)

This is the third time at T & J so it’s time to to give them a big pat on the back! Both for great work and reasonable prices. This time they brought back the bumper of my beloved Corolla after it was mangled by a backing up utility truck. In earlier work they helped restore panels on my classic Toyota compact pickup (the last of the 22re models). I’ll be going back for more restoration work!

Working with T&J to get my car fixed was pretty easy. You don’t have to make an appointment to get an estimate and my estimate took all of 5 minutes, if that. The price was good for the work that needed to be done (and based on other reviews here they seem to be priced better than their comps but still do good work, which is why I went to begin with).
I called a couple days later to see when I could take my car in. It was very casual and didn’t seem like a specific appointment was made but I brought it in when I said I would.
I had to call them to see if it was done the day they said it would be. The first time I called they were working on it. The second time it was done.
Aside from not being proactively notified my car was complete, I’m happy with my experience. My car looks like new now and the price was good, competitively.
I would return in the future, but hopefully no more parking garage columns get in my way again…

I took my 2010 Camaro in to get some paint work done on the front bumper and was very pleased with the results. They charged me $ 200, which was very reasonable compared to other repair shops I had visited. My car was ready quickly and you couldn’t even tell it had been repaired.
The reason why I feel compelled to write this review is because 4 days after having my car painted, the car wash I visited scratched the work that had just been done! I took the car back to T&J and they fixed it yet again for FREE! I was really grateful that they would do the job over again without charging me. Juan was great to deal with.
I can see why so many people trust their cars to T&J.

Not sure if these guys are serious. I went in to have 2 simple dents pulled from the back of my supra and then 2 quarter sized spots sanded/​painted. They quoted me a prepostorous $ 1300 for this small job. Is this some type of joke? The next 2 shops I took it to gave me estimates of $ 670 and $ 620. Both are just as high rated on Unilocal.
STAY AWAY!
