Roberns Automotive Service Center

Roberns is THE place in Takoma Park/​SS for car body repair! Courteous, friendly folks, very reasonable prices and EXCELLENT service and work. I’ve been to another very popular body shop in SS that didn’t do nearly as good a job and was considerably more expensive. If you need body work done on your car and you want it done well for a reasonable price, please consider Roberns!

Absolutely the best price, product, service and communication in town! Ask for Tico for body work.
Note: I’ve been an ASE certified auto mechanic for 15yrs, I just hate hate hate body work! Point being that I know what I’m talking about.
First experience:
I was tired of my 2001 Cherokee being broken into via their faulty front door locks, so decided to remove them altogether and skin them over smooth (adding keyless entry at my own time and expense). On a budget and aware of what I’m talking about, I shopped every body shop in the metro area. Tico at Robern’s gave me a quote on the spot which was literally less than half of the next best estimate. I was skeptical, of course, but decided to see what would happen.
It was winter — primetime for body work — and they were expectedly busy. They told me three days, then called in two to tell me it was ready. The work was flawless and then some. Being cheap, I opted to forego the pin-​stripe decal, but they included it anyway, free of charge. They also washed the SUV for free. Who does that?!
Second experience:
My wife’s 2008 Accord was hit while parked on the street, damaging the r/​f fender and door and destroying the mirror. Progressive was willing to pay the $ 1300 difference over my $ 500 deductible, as well to increase my premium on account of living and parking within city limits. Robern’s replaced and painted the fender, repaired the door, and directed me where to purchase a used mirror (electric adjustment and heated — $ 335 from Honda, $ 55 from Brandywine (ask for Ross)), which he also installed, for a total of $ 450! If you’re not counting, that’s a complete, professional repair — two body panels and an electronic mirror — for less than my deductible! They washed this one, too.
Save time, loads of money, stress, etc., get professional results, and support a local business. You cannot do better than these guys!

As I was sitting in my parked car this past Saturday., the rear driver’s side, corner bumper of my car was hit by another car backing out of a parking spot across from me. Thankfully the damage was minimal. The bumper was just pushed in a bit and paint was chipped around the impact area. In trading contact and vehicle/​insurance information, I was asked if I might take my car to Roberns Automotive to be repaired at no cost to me (he would pay the bill). I took down the information and made arrangements on Monday to drop my car off there this Tuesday morning at 8 am. The men there (Tico, John, Sergio, et al.) were friendly and made me feel at ease. I was given a ride to the Takoma metro station in the morning, metro’d to work, and was picked up at Takoma metro later that evening at about 5:30 pm. The repairs to my bumper were finished and I couldn’t even tell it had been hit. The paint color matched better than it did before, and the paint job was very professional.

These guys did an amazing job on my POS car! I got a great deal and it was done quickly.

I had my car towed here after puncturing my transmission pan and running out of transmission fluid about 1 mile away. The shop welded the puncture, saving me a lot of money and lost time in having to replace the parts. I was in and out in a few hours and everything was done with a big smile.

Honest, Reliable Shop. Ask for Roberto the owner, he always is fair and honest a hard thing to find in auto repair today! You will save money.
