Braggs was great, they fixed up my bumper and I was able to drive away feeling better than new. Now the spot they fixed on my car looks newer than the rest of the car!And they were very friendly, professional, and welcoming the whole time. Highly recommended for reliable local service!

My truck was hit in a parking lot a month ago. I heard great things about Braggs and brought it by for an estimate. Their estimate was fair, and they seemed like a professional operation after meeting the owner during the estimate. I have to tell ya, they are indeed PROFESSIONALS. I have never had such an amazing experience at an auto body shop. I received emails all along the way with updates, including pictures. The communication was top notch, the service was incredible, and they guaranty the work for the lifetime of the vehicle during my ownership. What else can you ask for? I dont usually write reviews, but this entire experience and the efforts put forth by this garage deserve my time to write this review and help others, along with this body shop. Thank you, Braggs and I wish you all the best! - JR

I was in an accident and needed body work repairs to the front left portion of my vehicle. I have used Braggs once or twice before and know they have a good reputation in the area and I’ve never had any issues. However most recently when I took my truck in for repairs i explained to Natasha that my alignment had me knocked out of whack ( I just put new tires and lift kit a month prior so I know it was fine before the accident). I asked braggs to please look at this and make sure everything was good. When i picked up the vehicle i asked if they discovered anything wrong with alignment and the guy who was standing behind the counter responded “I got it all backed up and the wheel is straightened out fine right now” in a somewhat rude manner. They basically told me it was fine. I left on deployment and my wife has been using my truck a few times for odd jobs around the house, turns out that the bearing was broken on the right front wheel and control arm was pressing into the wheel. This in turn messed up a bunch of other stuff and now I’m coming out of pocket a little upwards of a $1000 on something that Braggs could have easily spotted if they had simply taken the time to check it out. In the future I’ll take my vehicles to Taylor’s Body Shop where I know something like this won’t happen. I’m very disappointed and having to deal with this has caused unnecessary hardship for my family.

I cant say enough positive things about this business! My experience with Braggs was phenomenal. They were so polite and friendly from the moment I dropped off the car to picking it up. The front office and the workers were kind, pleasant and professional (and in todays time - its so rare), but so appreciated. My car looked better than it did when I initially purchased it! A+!

Um, wow. I count my self very lucky to have come here. My brand new green 4Runner just got some scratches at a hand wash and I couldn’t prove it was their fault. So, I swung by Braggs without an appointment and the owner Austin came out and personally buffed out the scratches since he’d sent his painter home early. I learned that this body shop has been helping people out with honesty and integrity for 3 generations because they love what they do and they want to make people happy. I’ll tell you that I went from being very frustrated to floored with their willingness to help as well as the results. No more scratches on this 4Runner! Thank you!

I have used Braggs on 2 other occasions to repair damage to my cars. Just got my car back and it looks great. They are easy to work with and accommodated all of my requests. They did a nice job on the repairs, the car was cleaned and washed for delivery and the job was done promptly. Looks better than new.

My wife and I had our wrecked vehicle sent to Braggs for an estimate without much knowledge about their service. I was so impressed by their prompt and clear communication. They provided an estimate in an extremely timely fashion. Would recommend to anyone!

Braggs were outstanding in all respects. They fixed my Audi Q7 to perfection. The repairs and the color matching made my vehicle look like new again. They delivered on time and as promised. The people were very friendly and accommodating. This is a great family-run business and I highly recommend it.

Best words to describe Braggs Body Shop. Outstanding, Respectable, Personable, Top Notch Quality, Down to earth and reasonable cost. This place is a must if body work is needed on your vehicle. George did an excellent job inspecting my vehicle with me and paying attention to every last detail. He is realistic and honest. Natashia was by far the most responsive people I have ever met. She was prompt with appointments, drop offs and pick ups. Her customer service skills are by far the best in town. Gayle did a wonderful job keeping me on track for drop off and to confirm what parts to order. All the men and women behind the scenes of this operation make this Body Shop #1 in town. Braggs Body Shop will not do you wrong or treat you unfairly. Respectable, realistic expectations and reasonable costs.

I have just started the process, So far the staff has been very straight forward in telling my what the steps are. The day after drop off the very pleasant representative had called me to let me know my parts had been ordered, thats something to brag about. I feel confident that have chosen the right shop for my repair.

I used Braggs for replacement of a damaged aftermarket front lip, and for repair of a loose tailpipe, on a 2013 Mercedes E350. I paid for all of this out of pocket. The cost was $390 for the front lip that I bought online and had shipped to the shop, I was quoted $451 for the work, and I paid for an Enterprise rental as well. Braggs was nice about fitting me in as soon as the lip arrived, and had me drop the car off in the morning, to be picked up the following evening. Mercedes ended up sending the wrong brackets for the tailpipe, but overnighted the right brackets, so things were only delayed by a day. Braggs did a good and professional job, and the final cost ended up being $489. They are also currently taking COVID-19 precautions. I will go to them in the future, mainly for any potential jobs that Im able to cover out of pocket, since my insurance policy with Erie doesnt cover aftermarket parts. For a previous job that Erie covered, I took the car to Taylors, which has a great reputation, but they were backed up for months.

Excellent place. Brought my car in for an estimate to fix the bumper as I had popped a portion of it out after hitting a curb. They fixed it in ten minutes for free! Another shop in town had quoted 180 and said they would need to remove the entire bumper; Braggs said I had not damaged any brackets and that it was a quick fix. Thanks to the professional and honest team at Braggs for great service!

Had two times body work done on my daughters car due to an accident, both times the work was excellent I will never go anywhere else. I had the the opposite experience twice with Cosner Brother where I took my van the first time and the second time even not wanting I had to take company van, both experience were terrible.

I have used Braggs twice in my 7 months of living in Charlottesville. Customer service was excellent all around. Prompt responses to requested information, low cost labor fees, easy scheduling, friendly service/staff, and their work speaks for itself. I wont go anywhere else in the area and will refer anyone to them who is in the market for auto body work. Keep up the great work Braggs!

Terrific experience! Took my vehicle there after hitting a deer. They inspected it right away and explained their process. They communicated with my insurance provider and kept things convenient for me. On the day of pick up the vehicle looked great. It was clean and it was evident that they carefully restored it to as close as new as possible. Thanks Braggs. Hopefully I dont need your services again soon, but when I do, Ill know who to call!

Braggs Body Shop did an excellent job repairing my car. On the morning that I dropped off my car, I noticed a screw in one of my tires. Braggs repaired my tire at no additional cost. Great customer service! The staff is very personable and responsive. I will definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Without knowing much about Charlottesvilles body shops, Im glad I chose Braggs Body Shop. I had extensive damage and they were very meticulous, which was certainly appreciated. A special thanks to Gail and Charlie, who took the time to explain everything and to make sure things were done the right way! I would definitely recommend Braggs.

An excellent experience getting my bumper replaced. Braggs clearly explained their quote, and even got the cars manufacturer to price-match a part that was not available as an after-market for my vehicle. They finished the job ahead of schedule and cleaned the car. I sincerely hope that I dont need body work again anytime soon, but if I do, Ill go back. Thanks, Braggs!

I had 2 accidents in 1 weeks, messing up the front of my car, and the back. A brand new car which was less than 6 months old!!!. I took it to Braggs, and they contacted my insurance company directly. Everything was scheduled at my convenience and while my car was at Braggs, I could look at pictures of the progress they were making on fixing it. When I got my car back, it loooked brand new, I could not tell where the work had been done. The people were nice, caring, helped me with all the paperwork and fixed my car back to its brand new status! I would not take my car anywhere else, and have sent many friends there. All of them have come away happy!! Braggs is the best!!!

I had damage to the drivers side rear quarter panel of my Benz (someone decided they wanted to share my traffic lane with me!); Braggs was able to provide an estimate of the damage at my convenience, and repair the damage in a very timely manner (in less than a week). I was provided with pictures of and updates on the repairs throughout the process, and they worked through my insurance company so that I didnt have to do much of anything legwork-wise. Complete concierge style service, as far as Im concerned, and I wouldnt go anywhere else!

Once they finished the work on my car and I paid them they called me on two separate occasions to come back once to sign more paper work that they forgot about a second time to add another part that they initially didnt receive in the mail until after I had picked up my car ... Will not be backUpdate. Had to go back after the tail light which Braggs had fixed went out and I was confronted by the staff for my rude review which is exactly what happened instead of asking what they could do better Braggs found it more productive to try to make me feel bad for hurting their rating online apparently google reviews is only for positive feedback and should not serve as a warning to other potential customers my research on them before I used them made me feel like I would be treated well but my experience was not up to the level of what I had seen very disappointing and insulting

I cant speak highly enough of Braggs Body Shop! Last month, part of my cars back fender popped out after I parked over a severe pothole. I first got an estimate from another Charlottesville body shop, and they said the fender was unable to be fixed without doing a full bumper replacement, and they quoted me $800. I couldnt accept the fact that my entire bumper would have to be replaced for something so small, so I got a second estimate at Braggs. I worked with Roger, and he was fantastic! He quickly identified that my fender was very easily fixable, and was able to do a full repair for me the same morning I had the estimate- in just a few minutes. I am sick thinking about the fact that I could have spent $800 for something that was able to be repaired in minutes. Thank you Roger and Braggs Body Shop for the honest service!
