Tingting Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 I had a guy crunch my poor car this Wednesday and it was just the topper to a totally crap month (don't ask)😱. Anyway, I drove the lateral road near Chopo labs where there is a gym and 2 car repair shops. I stopped and got a quote from Roberts, found it fair and had my car in on Thursday. I also decided to get a little paint work done on the back bumper from a minor collision with a fountain (it was the fountain's fault...I know it moved!). The owner (I'm so sorry I forgot his name) called me and said it would be ready this afternoon instead of the original Saturday. I went, was absolutely impressed as hell by the quality work, and drove home a very happy camper! Even with the extra work, it was still less than my deductible would have been if I'd gone that route. I just wanted to give a shout-out to a shop that does quality work at a very fair (ie, no gringo-gouging) price. The owner speaks excellent English and is extremely personable. I drove in on Thursday convinced that the world had painted a huge target on my back and came home today feeling like a sandbag or two had been lifted off of my shoulders. On a more serious note, if you need auto body work, I absolutely recommend this shop. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matagorda Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 I concur with Tingting. Had 2 cars worked on by Robert's. Totally satisfied;finished as promised and much below my estimated cost. Also found owner (Victor) very pleasant and co-operative.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingting Posted July 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Happy, I could get lost in a paper sack, but no, it's very close to Chopo (unfortunately, have had to use the lab more times than I want to count). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lo siento,you are correct in across from Chopo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oatsie Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 It's the green building, just right of center. Did a great job fixing the "road bruises" and painting my car last February. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevator Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 That would be Victor. And yes he does great work at decent costs. I used to go next door to Roberto's...cheap as well, but nowhere near the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting Posted July 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Major apologies for not remembering Victor's name. 🤪 It's no excuse, but I was so upset when it all happened and then so absolutely over the moon with the workmanship when I went to pick it up that you could have told me I'd won the Lotto and I would have smiled and driven off.

cedros Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 My contractor recommended Roberts but I had to take it to the Body shop in west Ajjic by the waffle house to get the job done properly. That was years ago things may have chnged at robertos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oatsie Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I recall that Victor said he was the new owner when he did my car last February. He had returned from the USA.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
