Oscar Auto Body

Highly recommend these folks. Very nice, honest, etc. Safe bet.

I damaged my in-law’s car when I borrowed it… yikes. It was a Friday night, and I needed it fixed fast and well. I got a recommendation for Oscar’s, and could NOT have been happier! I took it in at 7am on Saturday morning, and got it back by Sunday morning, just in time to return it to the in-​laws. This is a genuine family-​owned company, and the owner and his son were so friendly, so knowledgeable, and so helpful. The paint guy told me what he could do in the time I had the car there, and he exceeded my expectations fully. SO REASONABLY PRICED, I couldn’t believe it. If I ever need body work done again, Oscar’s has my business.

Couldn’t be happier. Out of control driver on Lyndale smashed the driver’s side mirror on our car. It’s not a Nissan so a new replacement was crazy expensive, even with insurance. To save us money, Ramin found a used mirror assembly and was able to re-​use our existing painted housing to save us from having to paint a part anew. Oscar Auto Body (and Ramin) were recommended to me by users on Reddit and I’m sure I’ll be one of the ones recommending this place to the next guy.

Due to the positive reviews I read on Unilocal,I went to Oscars Auto Body to get my bumper replaced and I must say that I was not disappointed at all and I would recommend anyone who needs to get their car repair to go there.
Ramin, the main guy who works there assisted me in taking a look at my bumper and getting it fixed/​replaced. He was very professional, knowledgeable, very friendly and such a pleasure to work with. He explained to me about my car’s damages in a way that I could easily understand him, unlike most auto places that I have gone to in the past. I’m so glad that I came here because my estimate quote came up to being the lowest of all the other auto body shops that I have checked out. They are very understandable when it comes to your budget and Ramin is flexible & great at giving you multiple options.
I wish I had a before picture of my old bumper so you Unilocalers can see the difference but unfortunately all I have is the After photo. My old bumper on the left side was cracked and loose and on the right side, it was scratched and a little dented.
Once my new bumper was added I was incredibly impressed as it had looked like a brand new car! Absolutely a stellar job well done from the customer service to the labor! I hope that I won’t need to come to an auto shop again but if I do, I will definitely be back here!

Very impressed with this auto body! My Subaru Outback a dented and broken front bumper and Ramin was incredibly helpful in explaining my different cost effective options. I didn’t care to pay top dollar for a brand-​new repair. My Subaru has scratches, so my bumper can too. He searched for a used bumper for me (the other 3 auto body’s I considered using weren’t willing to search for a used bumper) and was able to replace it. It looks awesome and definitely fit the budget. Would recommend this auto body in a heart beat!

After reading several outstanding reviews I decided to bring my car here for a new front bumper estimate. From the moment I walked in, Ramin was an absolute pleasure to work with; He is great with explaining things in a manner that anyone could easily understand. From the estimate, to my time constraint issues and even to getting me home and picking me up when my car was ready — Ramin and his team floored me with their accommodations. I sincerely recommend Oscar Auto Body. I hope to say I won’t ever need to go to another auto body shop but if I do it will most certainly be there.

There isn’t a catch! Ramin’s top priority is helping his customers, and it really shows. He knows his stuff, charges low prices for stellar work, and he listens to and does what you want. (That’s a really rare combination, especially in the auto repair industry.) He takes pride in his work and wants you to be delighted — and I am. (I’m a car guy, so when I tell you he’s good — I’m not just hoping, or guessing!) I’ll bring my car back here again for anything, but if you were in an accident and just want your car back the way it was — however you define that, functionally and/​or cosmetically — Oscar’s is absolutely the place to turn. Most places want to do as much work on your car as possible, or at least as much high-​margin work as they can get. Ramin wants to fix your car, the way you want it fixed, with your situation in mind. Thank you, Ramin!

My car was in an accident and considered a «total loss» by the insurance company. The car was paid off and the insurance was pretty cheap on it. I wanted to keep it as I knew it’s history and didn’t want to take on a car payment and/​or higher insurance for something else. After talking to two other auto body shop I talked to Ramin at Oscar. He was very helpful, gave me some tips on dealing with the insurance company and told me he didn’t think the body of the car was that bad. Ramin was very helpful and thoroughly explained everything along the way. We decided to get the car fixed to about 80% of it’s pre-​accident condition (a few small blemished remain on the quarter-​panel) and by doing so Ramin was able to get the job done at about ¹⁄₃ the cost of what the other shops wanted to get the car back to pre-​accident condition. The work was done quickly and Ramin did a great job of communicating with me along the way. Even though he was very busy, he was able to get my car in and out within a couple of days. I was very pleased with everything at Oscar. Ramin is the most creative body guy in MPLS when it comes to body repair on a budget. Highly recommended.

I cannot emphasize enough that anyone with any car issue should only go here and always go here as i would if i did not live in st cloud.
just about an hour ago, i pulled off the highway after noticing in the reflection of only one headlight in the car in front of my in a total cluster fuck of rush hour traffic on 35w. i went on Unilocal to find an auto shop nearby and oscars came up. it was 5:15 and they closed at 5:30. i called and he said he would take me, which right there is above and beyond what i would have expected from any car shop. I spoke with Ramin, who helped me once i got there and could not have been any nicer.
when i got there it became evident that my headlight had a rusty boot. i enjoyed that i was told that as if i knew what that was– then he explained it after seeing my deer in headlights gaze. in addition to the rusty problematic boot, he had to order a bulb as they did not have the one for my yaris, a car that very few other if any minnesotan is dumb enough to attempt to drive on snow. he actually got another place to drive it over to the shop, at this point after 545, well after the shop was meant to be closed.
I am thrilled to be legal again!
Ramin did an excellent job helping me minutes before they closed and spending more time than he probably imagined fixing the light.
please go here with any car problem, you will not regret it

This place is one word: Amazing.
The owner, Ramin, is an absolutely pleasure to work with. He’s nice, funny, and really knows how to explain things in a way that doesn’t make you feel dumb when it comes to your car (I know some of you know what I mean!)
I had a dent in my car and needed it fixed. He gave me a couple options, and because I was low on cash and a company was paying partly for the damage, I chose the cheaper option which was Paintless Dent Repair.
Let me just say– HOLY CRAP. The repair was amazing, you could hardly tell a dent the size of a soccer ball had even been there. For $ 200 the dent was smoothed in 5 hours. I live about 15 blocks away from the shop and Ramin even gave me a bike & bike lock to get home (instead of walking) for while the repair was done! Talk about class, and taking care of your customer.
I have another little tear in the plastic of my bumper that I wasn’t going to fix… but I definitely will now, solely because of the amazing service at Oscar’s Auto Body. I will be back!

Great and timely service from Oscar Auto Body !!
While exiting the garage, the passenger side mirror had gotten knocked off on our car. Also, the passenger side door had developed some scratches because of this incident. A couple of other repair shops quoted us a price of over $ 1400 to fix all this because they suggested that the entire passenger side door be repainted, and that new mirrors need to be installed, etc. We were hesitant because the car has 80K plus miles on it already and this seemed like too high a price for what appeared to be easily fixable.
We read the good reviews about Oscar Auto Body and had the damage looked at. They were able to glue back the mirror and they touched up the scratches for about $ 200 (total) !! What a life saver !!
It looks like a well done job too — you can’t really tell unless you take a closer look.
I would highly recommend this place !

After seeing the great reviews, I visited Oscar’s with my 60K mile, pristine 1993 Miata since somebody put a blemish on the driver’s door with an 8″ scrape I need to repair. The fellow at the counter told me that it would cost $ 35 for them to quote me since the car is over 10 years old. I asked why the charge and he said «I don’t know».
I guess that Oscar is either afraid of working on classic cars or has so little business that he needs to make money quoting.
GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT!

Got in an accident at the peak of this winter when the streets were their sloppy and slipperiest. Stopped at Oscar and got an estimate from Ramin. They were really busy due to the weather, but he still found time to get me a very reasonable estimate. After deciding to go with them, they ordered the parts and then scheduled my repair a couple of weeks later.
I really like my experience here and the final price was exactly what they estimated. Ramin was a pleasure to work with and I am really happy with the way the car looks after the repair! I will definitely return if needed and recommend it to friends.

had a fender bender due to the fabulous weather we’ve had lately– an oncoming car unable to stop in time (thankfully just a fender-​bender, right?) — once again Ramin to the rescue! prompt, kind, understanding and affordable. now that i am truly a repeat customer i can say with full certainty– real. freakin. deal. you will NOT be sorry bringing your business here. finding a good auto shop? check that off of my list of hard things to find in life!

Like a lot of the others, I was skeptical of all the excellent reviews, but alas. Ramin was super nice, looked at my car and whipped up a quote despite my lack of appointment… and the quote was the lowest of 3 that I had gotten.
But here’s the kicker: (because I think he recognized that I am car-​stupid) recommended I take my limited funds and buy some snow tires instead of fixing my car now because it will be a long, slippery winter and there’s nothing urgent about my repair.
It is so refreshing to see that from a business… especially of the auto body variety.

Ramin is wonderful to work with, replaced windshield same day, with one day advance notice to obtain glass. Even transferred my State Park sticker to the new glass and direct billed my insurance company for the total cost. Nice.
I had bought a new rear hatch trim piece a couple years ago after tearing my old trim piece off backing out of the the garage with my hatch up (lucky it was only trim). Had never gotten around to having it installed, figured it would be at least a couple of Benjamin’s at a pro shop because the entire interior lining of the hatch had to be removed to get at the trim retaining clips. Ramin quoted a number so low that I assumed the decimal to be in the wrong place. All work done in one day. You can’t ask for a better body shop, was worth going out of my way a bit. So refreshing to see outstanding value and customer service in an auto body shop.

I had hail damage to my car and Ramin was more than great to work with! My car looks new again! He is running a great business and I will definitely be back! Such a great experience, you won’t be disappointed!

This place is awesome! Their prices are very reasonable, and they do top quality work. I was very impressed by the dent repair they performed on my vehicle, had a few creases in it… and they made it look like it did before the accident! A+

I backed into a parking pole in a lot and did a pretty good job on my bumper. I surfed on line and found Oscars after reading a few reviews. They seemed to be the friendliest on the phone, so I went in and got an estimate. The entire process was fast and affordable, my bumper is fixed, you can’t tell anything ever happened. I hope I don’t have to use them again, but they made the whole situation much less stressful.

Someone hit our car in a parking lot and ran. I don’t care much about cosmetics. I just want no rust. Rust spreads like the plague and eats your car from inside out. I took the car to a reputedly excellent body shop and told them that my insurance won’t pay for fixing it. I asked for the least expensive way to prevent the rust. The cheapest solution they came up with was $ 803. They, of course, wanted to repair, paint and refinish everything. I didn’t want to spend eight hundred bucks, though. But they didn’t suggest any other alternatives. Therefore, I searched the web and found Oscar Auto Body with many 5star Google reviews. I don’t know about you. But when all the reviews are positive (especially for auto body services), I get dubious and can’t believe all the customers were really happy with the service they received. But I thought it’s worth giving it a try.
Yesterday, I took the car for a free estimation. On their estimation form, they ask about your preferences and concerns. I chose price as my first concern. The owner, Ramin, looked carefully at the damaged part as well as the whole car’s body, took some photos, and suggested different alternatives, including simply cleaning the bruises and brush-​touching them to prevent rust. I came back today and it took about two hours to brush-​touch the car during which I studied in one of the many nearby cafes on the Eat Street. I ended up paying $ 120 for brush-​touching the accident area and a few other cracks. I really liked that they offered different options and came up with a solution that suited our budget and preferences. Ramin also found two other rust spots between the rear glass and the roof which the other body shop didn’t notice. He, however, didn’t push us to fix them right away. He, instead, suggested that if we don’t want to spend much, he could put some oil on them to reduce the speed of corrosion and that we should keep doing it.
The second day we went there, we realized that he’s Iranian-​American. On their website, there is an interesting video that tells the story of Ramin’s father moving to the US in 1977 to start his business.
