West County Auto Body Repair

I am glad I finally listened to my Dad and gave this place a shot. I hate going to mechanics because most of the time I get treated like I know nothing (even though I do know a bit more than your average chic) so I try to avoid most mechanics. Unfortunately on this particular car I couldn’t get the door off to fix the window. They fixed my window at a great price and even removed all the tape around it (including the residue). I’ll be back again.

After the hailstorm in 2011, they did fantastic work on paintless body repair on my 1 series bmw. I was so impressed that i had them install aftermarket downpipes.
Huge mistake. They installed the pipes and charged $ 300 which is upper level of normal pricing and they left a non-​bmw BOLT in the drivers side resonator.
The rattle it caused never bothered me, but trying to sell the car now I wanted whatever the foreign object was to be removed.
I took the car back to WC body repair and the man there told me it’s impossible that there’s anything they did causing the rattle, it has to be a ‘pipe problem’ Uhm hello physics… how can a solid pipe cause a rattle like that. for example.put the car on ramps and took a small hammer to resonator and could hear a clinking sound.
Long story short, took the car to Bradley Motorwork to remove the pipe .what do you know? a non-​bmw bolt falls out– probably accidentally swept into my pipes on WC auto body’s floor by their mechanic.
Very upset that the? owner? tried to blame a solid metal pipe on a clinking sound. Not very professional. Should have some labor warranty.
Best part…“it’ll cost you $ 300 for us to look and just as much for us to put the pipes back on’, and ‘you better have gaskets ready”…cool.

West County Auto Body is great! I only taken my car there; oil changes, body work, repairs, detail, and everything else. The staff is knowledgeable and goes over all the issues I have had. I highly recommend West County Auto Body.

Our family has used West County for 30 years, we won’t take it anywhere else. They are friendly, fix what needs done correctly, quickly and if it doesn’t need doing, it doesn’t get done. They are the best

After discussing with multiple body shops around the STL area, I ended up taking my very hail damaged car to West County Auto. The owner, Rob, was honest and upfront from the very beginning, even suggesting I look into the value of the car and whether it was worth repairing. I felt he was looking out for my best interest, not just trying to gain business.
They did an amazing job on the entire car with PDR and I am very pleased. The price was great and I couldn’t be happier. I’d highly recommend them for any body or car repairs.

Fantastic service, great prices! I was in the process of moving to the area from out of state when my car broke down. My car overheated because of a belt related issue. I knew know one in the area, so I went to Unilocal*for help and found West County Autobody Repair. I had my car towed there and it was ready for pick-​up the next day. As it turned out, the bearings in one of my pulleys froze up and the people at West County had me fixed up for under $ 200, which is good news for this 2003 BMW 325i driver who rarely sees a bill that low. What was even better is they told me about a control arm bushing repair that was needed. I scheduled a time to come back and they did it for less than half of what my mechanic back home would have charged. Less than a month in a new city, it sure is nice to have new home for auto repairs!
A local shuttle would be a nice thing for them to add. Also, I noticed a couple things needed to be put back in the correct place but was happy to do so myself with the $$ I saved at West County Autobody Repair.

West County recently performed some work on my car’s drive shaft for me. This was a tough part that had stumped my attempts to repair. I was provided a cost quote, and they were true to their estimate. It was turned around in one day and they were very pleasant to deal with.
Upon picking it up, I was surprised to see that it looked nearly brand new. They had taken the time to clean it up and make it look great. Definitely not expected, but very appreciated.
This was my second visit, and I would definitely come back.

I was displeased with the appearance of my fixed chip in my windshield. Not quite sure what its suppose to look like but my sister had a identical chip and got hers done elsewhere and you wouldn’t even have noticed it was there! I kinda wish I never got it done or wasted the hour there.

I am a fan of the photo-​op!

I tend to keep old vehicles until the wheels fall off. I am able to do this because I have great mechanics who I trust: West County Auto Body. They keep my well used cars running reliably, keep costs down by using salvage parts when possible, never advise me to fix anything I don’t need to fix and have even advised me to use Ebay to get a better price for myself for items like key fobs. I was sent there by a trusted friend and I have since referred more satisfied customers.

You know, I actually do realize that sometimes I can be a really demanding b*tch. Particularly when it comes to my car. If you know me, you maaaay have noticed this too, haha! I also happen to have the worst car luck on the planet.
That being said, there is literally no other place I’d consider taking my car for body repair in the St Louis area. I’m pretty sure that the owner is more of car perfectionist than I am and the rest of the guys up front are a total riot when they get going.
This last time my brand new Escape was the victim of a lightning strike on my house (yeah, remember what I said about my car luck?) and I had pieces of molten garage door opener all over the place. Rob took the time to inspect every inch of the top of the car to make sure that nothing was missed. My car hasn’t been so clean on the inside since the day I drove it home (and that literally lasted an hour before my dog smeared mud over every inch of the interior. long story, refer to car luck above).
So I’ll be honest, sometimes they can be a little disorganized. Trust me though, it is WORTH any minor inconvenience or wait you may have. If you knew me, you’d know how huge it is for me to say that. You won’t be disappointed with the end result, particularly if you care about how you car looks. I’ve been here six times in the last 3 years (car luck, remember? Only ONE time was it ever my fault, thankyouverymuch) and I’ll keep going back as long as I live in STL… and with my luck, that’s only a matter of a few months!
Oh. and they recently added more visitor parking so it’s way easier to park. Well done, guys!

This auto body shop was quick, inexpensive, and have great customer service. I woke up one morning to finding my cars side view mirror knocked off from getting hit overnight. They let me bring in my own part (which saved me over $ 100 because I bought it on Amazon). They were able to paint it and reattach it asap (which saved me lots of money on my rental car). The price they quoted me over the phone was an incredible value compared to other shops quotes. In the end, they honored their price quote.
You should definitely consider taking your car here for auto body repairs.
As for the previous writer giving them 1 star for having a small parking lot… really? The location is not too far from several major Saint Louis highways. Their lot isn’t huge, but adequate. When I brought my car up, there were a few spaces open. Their hours are decent and they’re open on Saturdays. Personally, I would prefer taking my car to a place that wants to «get your car out of there ASAP» because I want my car back and fixed ASAP.

The ONLY good thing about this place is the Mater tow truck that sits near Lindbergh. This place’s parking lot is TOO crowded and they want you to get your car out of there ASAP (even if it isn’t fixable and needs to be scrapped, except they want to scrap it and keep the $ 300-​$ 400). I just am not a fan of their employees and how they do business, plus the lot size and location.

West County Auto Body has been the car repair center of choice for my family since I was a little kid. Ron, Pat, Tim and all of the other guys can take care of just about anything ranging from a persistent brake light to a transmission problem, and they do so with the same care for every customer. When my car battery was leaking battery acid, and I was just a few days outside of the warranty window, instead of saying they couldn’t do anything about it, the guys at West County argued with the provider of the battery on my behalf— without me even having to ask for it! They’re really great, honest guys, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my car. Oh, and while you’re there, check out the really neat life-​sized replica of Mater from the Disney movie Cars. It’s too cute!
