V&V Auto Body

Amazing Work. I had some damage to my rear bumper that V&V was able to help me out with. They had the best quote, were extremely friendly, and the work done was absolutely flawless. Dropped my car off on a Tuesday and picked it up 1^st thing Thursday morning. I’m extremely happy with the work done and would recommend them to anyone.

A friend recommended V&V auto body to repair some damage to our suv. Vago was very friendly and welcoming. He provided the lowest estimate for the repairs and was able to finish in 2 days with no appointment needed. When I picked up the suv it looked brand new. They did an amazing job! Thank you!

We have been going here for a few years now and seriously love the owner and the main mechanic. Always quotes the best prices and treats his customers like family. All the friends we referred were happy with the services they got also.

Went to 2 other auto body shops to get estimates before an acquaintance recommended V&V. They were half the price and almost twice as fast as the other shops had quoted me. The price was the best, the time was the best and my car looked great.

Search no more! Great & honest service. This auto-​body shop has reasonable prices & quick turnaround. They fixed the dent in my back bumper in under a half hour. Highly recommended!

This is one of the best auto body shops, with great customer service, that you can find anywhere. Vargo the owner will work with you, go over everything with you and make sure you are happy, providing great service with excellent workmanship. He took care of everything with the insurance company for both my vehicle and my girlfriends vehicle when someone hit her car. Worth taking the trip from wherever you are.

OH. MY. GOD. Best service experience of any kind EVER. At an auto-​body shop nonetheless! In the past when I’ve gone to an auto-​body shop, I’ve learned to expect a dirty service bay, men who treat me like I don’t know the first thing about cars, and the whole process to be on par with getting a root canal. Believe me; the last thing I expected was a FUN experience that I would want to re-​live over again. What changed? VAGO! The guy is crazy, funny, outgoing and audacious as hell, all the while managing to still run a kick-​ass professional shop and deliver outstanding body work. My insurance guy said he actually LIKES dealing with Vago because he knows he’s a man he can trust, and he makes the experience pleasant. Who’da thunk, right!!! Go there. Seriously. It almost makes getting in a fender bender worthwhile! :)

Thank you so much Vago and his staffs! They are all supportive and understanding my needs! They repaired my bumper right away within 7min. Other place charged me $ 6100. So insane… He gave me so many options to make everything very cheap. His cost performance is more than great. He charged me only $ 1200! V&V is the most reliable and great service over all. I highly recommend this bodyshop! 。(＞＜)。

Vago is seriously the best. He made my experience the most painless possible. Got my rental car for me, had someone shuttle me over there to Hertz, got a discount on the rental. Three days later, the work is done and I drove the rental back to his shop. Boom, got my keys and he took the rental back for me. Every morning thought I was going to be late dealing with car stuff and I never was even a minute late. It was so smooth and my car looks brand new. I can’t believe it. Vivo also gives you really fair prices compared to the ones in the area. GO HERE! He’s a great guy and deserves the business.

The guys there are fantastic. Very honest about what needed fixing the most on my car and very transparent about pricing of parts, labor, etc. They ordered the parts promptly, did the work promptly, and did an excellent job. For a major job resulting from a collision, these are the best guys to take your car to for an honest, fair, and professional auto body job

I have had body work done at a number of shops and this is as good as it gets.
More importantly, however, is that Vago is the most honest and trustworthy of all the shops I have used.
He gave me a very fair estimate, and when he found much more work than he anticipated… not only did he honor the original estimate… he even did MORE than he was supposed to do.
He painted a door for nothing just because he saw a flaw that I had not seen.
Trust this man with your car and money. He is one of a kind!

Vargo is like BIG brother! He ferocious like LION and has heart like BIG BEAR! He quote me BEST price to fix scrape on both bumper on my BMW, turn-​around less than a week, both bumper look BRAND NEW! He even fix dent at no extra cost and drive me to and from apartment 5 blocks away!
Don’t waste your time with other sissy shop, Vargo is THE BEST! I write like Vargo because I want to BE VARGO!

Vargo is so nice, welcoming and accommodating. He wasted no time getting me taken care of and plays no games! My car looked just like new afterwards and I was on my way!!! Very pleased!!!

Thank HEAVEN my mechanic, (Koko at Nono’s at the 76 station on SM and Bundy), recommend that I go HERE rather than to the place where I’d first gone. (I’d JUST been in a really, really bad rear end accident and was badly shaken.)
Not only was Vago very helpful, he knew exactly how to completely restore my Lexus and also saw to it that I got a rental car immediately and then set about repairing my car. His crew does excellent work.
He made sure that the insurance company took responsibility for each small thing… (stuff they’d tried to dodge).
As long as my car was at V&Vs, I bought new wiper blades and took them to Vago … he put them on for me.
Between V&V and Nono’s, my car was good as new. Thank heavens for skill and caring!

I was so happy with V&V that as soon as I got home, I came here on to Unilocal to write my first review ever.
If you ever hear of anyone who needs auto body work done, send them here. I pulled up about a tail light and was given a very fair quote to get it replaced. Then I had him look at a dent and some scratches that other auto body shops quoted me $ 2,300 — $ 2,000 to repair.
After looking it over I was given a price on fixing it all that was a fraction of the quotes from other shops.
I now have a «go to» man for any auto body work. Thank you!

I came here after seeing the reviews for this place and after getting a recommendation from my male roommate. The guy here was an absolute prick. I had a simple problem with my windshield wiper and he was unable to understand or even fully listen to my explanation (it didn’t help that the guy could barely speak English). First, he tried to send me to a place that does electric work. I said no, it’s not an electrical problem, the blade is going it’s just not properly wiping. Then he acted like I was doing a bad job explaining to him, before shooing me away saying they don’t have wiper blades. Total lack of manners.
After this bad experience, I brought my car to Baizer and Grimmetts on Santa Monica, another place I’d seen with good Unilocal ratings. These guys were nice, helpful, accommodating, they know how to speak English, and they ordered a windshield wiper blade for me while I waited.
I told my roommate about my experience after the fact, and he said that he could see these guys being the type to treat a woman much worse than they would treat a man. Note to self, don’t take roommate’s suggestions for places that traditionally discriminate against women in their attitudes and behavior, like auto shops like V&V!

SO GLAD I FOUND THIS PLACE!
Every time I come here I feel like grandpa is taking care of me. So important for me since most auto places try to make you feel out of place as a girl!
About a year ago I went to 5 different places in the area to get quotes and my last stop was here. Most quoted me $ 4000-​$ 5000 for repairs and V&V did it for $ 1500! And they did an amazing job. They also advised me to not fix a few things until I turn in my lease.
I came back here again to get those few things done and they told me to get it quoted by the dealer first. When I did and brought it back they said its best to go with the dealer as its fair and so they wouldn’t micro inspect it even though he can save me some $$. So I turned in as it based on his advice and the dealer ended up covering it under wear and tear insurance!
SO APPRECIATE THE HONESTY! Making sure I’m getting taken care of and not being taken advantage of!

First off, I have to thank all the Unilocalers on this one because I was initially going to pony up more money and go somewhere else.
I was applying to become a Lyft driver in Los Angeles (the pink mustache cars) and I needed some body work done on my car to get approved. My 2007 Rav4 had severe scratches on the front bumper, a dent in my right fender that needed to be popped out, severe scratches to the fender trim, and the side view mirror needed to have it’s hood replaced as it was stuck while driving and broke off.
It’s important to note that I was paying for this repair out of pocket. My deductible is $ 1000 and I didn’t want to file a claim for something so close to it only to have my rates go up.
For starters V&V is a small shop that you might even miss as you drive down Olympic. It’s very very VERY low frills. A man named Vago simply looked over my car and said… «I’ll fix this for $ 1000». The estimate was literally a dollar amount followed by a handshake. I was a bit suspicious but I took Vago’s card, wrote down $ 1000, and headed to other places to see what the other estimates would be.
I received the following quotes for the same work. I did NOT inform anyone of their competitors quotes. I did inform them that I would be shopping around though.
SOS Dent: $ 1350
Golden Auto Body $ 1259
H&H Auto Body $ 1335
WestWood Auto Body $ 1390
So I had a decision to make. I wasn’t sure about V&V. They didn’t give me any paperwork. Just an eyeballed once over and a very round number. But then again it was also a basic shop. They didn’t have a large office crew and didn’t have a waiting room that I ran into at other shops.
SO… I reread all these reviews on Unilocal,crossed my fingers, and dropped off my car. I was leaving town for a week and Vago said it was no problem keeping my car any additional days beyond what it took for the repair while I was gone (within reason). They started work on Monday and by Thursday it was complete. I picked it up the following Monday.
To my surprise not only did he fix everything, he actually made additional repairs. He replaced a missing tow hook cover on the bumper that I didn’t ask to be fixed, and he also painted the side door to match the mirror and the fender better.
All in all I was very pleased with the work. The clear coat looked decent and so far it’s been trouble free. He did promise to repair any chipping or bubbling should that come up but he swore up and down that it would not happen and he stood by his work with a guarantee to fix any and all problems should they occur. This was also backed up with a handshake.
Best Bet:
If you’re paying out of pocket and getting several estimates, it’s worth it to at least get a quote here.

Went to these guys a few months ago. I had scratched/​dented my car and it needed new paint along with the dent fix.
I had called 4 places. The one over on sepulveda told me I needed a new passenger window and was quoting me over $ 1000 more than V&V!
I came to V&V. They offered me the lowest price. They fixed up my prius like new and I can’t even tell that any work was done. They also gave me a ride so i didn’t have to take a cab home when I dropped off my car.
Super easy. more affordable than the others. Great work.

Initially this place looks a bit sketchy, but that’s where you’re saving your money! I had my passenger side mirror replaced. Another place I called quoted me $ 100 because they claimed they had to take the car door off. Vago charged me $ 40 and I was out in 15 minutes. It was perfect — I got my Trader Joe’s shopping done while they were working.
I’m not sure if they can do huge post-​accident jobs, but I’d definitely recommend calling and asking Vago! It’s worth it to support a local auto body shop where they have low overhead and won’t give you a runaround!
