I normally only go to dealerships to get my car fixed on. I came here after almost being charged $6500 from Honda stating I need a new head gasket … I found this shop on google they were able to look at my car and find the issue and it was not my head gasket I ended up paying $600 for a new fan, spark plugs and something else I can’t remember lol but ANYWAYS I will forever come here! The people here are so nice treat you like family & always explaining what’s going on w your vehicle and most of all they are not money hungry at all they are very reasonable! I been having my car now for a couple of weeks now and no issues at all!!!!

First words that the owner Rafael said to me when I called for a quote on a full paint job for my truck was “if you don’t like it don’t pay me”, needless to say that made me confident that if he messed up the paint job he would make it right. We ended up adding on a spray in bedliner, putting in a Dashskin cover, and replacing the shroud around my blinker. He later addressed an electrical issue that may or may not have been preexisting. Nevertheless whether it was preexisting or not when I paid Rafael he pocketed it and never gave me a receipt. My paint job does not look good. There are swirls in it where it looks like they buffed or wet sanded too deep and went through the clear coat, chips and dimples are also in the paint. They did a terrible job installing my Dashskin cover, they either used something that took the paint off of it or did a horrible job painting it. It did not need to be painted in the first place. They redid it and it still has scuffs on the edges and looks tacky, I’m going to take it back off, buy a new one and put it on myself. The biggest insult throughout this process was Rafael and how many times he denied something was their fault and when proven wrong didn’t apologize or say “my fault I was wrong”, he just acted like it didn’t happen. 3 examples, he swore up and down they didn’t mess up my Dashskin and that it was sent like that when they did indeed scratch it and try to cover it up, he was certain that I did not give them the correct door bushings when I had to drive up there and in seconds I showed them where they went, lastly he told me the swirl marks were because I did not use the right type of cloth to wash it, I asked him what that was and he said a microfiber cloth which is indeed what I used. I spent $5000 with these guys and am not happy with anything they did. Also they need to pay more attention to peoples interiors, they dripped paint, scuffed trim pieces, and dropped sealant on my seat in two places. Stay away from these guys, look at the last text after I put this review in.

I want to clear up a misunderstanding with Prime Collision and Allen Auto same address different people, stay away from a guy named Rico he's not trustworthy, he over charged me but if I hadn't said anything he was going to keep my money we took our son's car there because he said he was going to fix it, listen to it yourself and let me know what you think!!!


Jul 24, 2024

This guy is not a good businessman, he is grimey towards people, go elsewhere!


Jul 24, 2024

This place is super down to earth when it comes to car problems. The staff is friendly and nice to chat with! I have gone in multiple times for issues I was expecting to take long or cost a lot but in the end, came out with my day still available to me and at a cost that can't be beat!


Jun 24, 2024

A small business that deserves all the business. Rafael is great. My wife and I got into a wreck not far from the shop so I ran over there and asked for some help. Rafael not only got me a tow truck within 10 minutes but also had my wife's car worked on and finished quickly. If you like good, trustworthy people then Rafael is your guy. Highly recommend


Jun 24, 2024

Fantastic service, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Exceptionally good location to Local Towing facilities, and their hours are comprehensive. In every way, they were professional, accommodating, and world class problem solvers. I thank them for all of their assistance.


May 24, 2024

I was recently in a car accident. I researched Allen’s Auto repair and Collision. I chose this place because of the reviews. I’ll be the first to say Raphael and his team did not disappoint. An amazing job is and under statement. Raphael was professional ,honest , knowledgeable and a man of his word. I would give 10 stars if I could. I will recommend his repair shop to anyone that’s looking for honest and reasonable quotes,But most importantly to get the Job done right! Pictures do not lie check below. My 23 Hyundai Elantra

They fixed my car even during an off day, and they were so helpful in explaining the issue.


Mar 24, 2024

Fantastic experience. Definitely will use this place in the future.


Mar 24, 2024

I recently relocated to Dallas and faced challenges in finding a trustworthy garage for my car issues. Encountered a few mechanics driven by profit, but fortunately stumbled upon this garage. Raphael stands out as the finest individual in town. He offers the most sensible and budget-friendly solutions for car repairs, prioritizing customer welfare over earnings. He dedicates his full attention to provide the best solutions at reasonable rates. Highly recommended.


Mar 24, 2024

This shop will not try and charge you an arm and a leg. I was shopping around mechanics looking for the best rate to diagnose and fix my overheating car and they did a wonderful job, were very friendly, and charged me much less than the shop across from my house that I went to initially. Would highly recommend if you want a mechanic you can trust won't cheat you out of hundreds of dollars.


Feb 24, 2024

They were so helpful and gave me a good price. Even helped me while they were very busy but because my car needed urgent repairs they helped me right away.


Jan 24, 2024

Really great experience here. Needed a new headlight and inspection. Got me taken care immediately, taught me a lot about my vehicle and were very friendly. Will go back for future needs.


Nov 24, 2023

Excellent service trustworthy and very friendly


Nov 24, 2023

I am relatively new to TX and needed to find my local mechanic, and glad to say that I have. Raphael and Bob went above and beyond in regards to getting my car repaired. The service they provided was phenomenal and the price was extremely reasonable.


Nov 24, 2023

Awesome service..they fixed my wiper issue in 20 mins..friendly staff and friendly mechanic


Nov 24, 2023

Had my car broken into and Allen Auto was the first place to say yes on such short notice. They made me feel very taken care of and I will be going back there for anything car related.


Nov 24, 2023

I am one happy Canadian. I just drove up from Canada and made it here to Texas however a few days later my car was overheating. I called Tammy over at Allen's Auto and she was absolutely more than helpful. She managed to get me on the same day. Bob the mechanic was absolutely amazing as well. I felt as though I had known them forever, they were efficient and timely. My gratitude goes to out to them, Raphael included! Thank you to a company that explains things, is prompt and truly cost efficient. I am one happy Canadian and my car is now happy as well. Thank you, thank you and thank you. I would most definitely refer anyone to go see them if they are in need of a car repair. Feeling really happy!! I will keep their card in my wallet! ~with much respect, Wendy


Nov 24, 2023

Love this place. Reasonable pricing, local business. Always do a great and honest job


Nov 24, 2023

Quick and easy services for my state inspection. Very happy with overall experience


Nov 24, 2023

This shop is the best! I came in for urgent radiator issues on my Envoy they were knowledgeable, honest and transparent with their pricing. They earned a long term customer and recommendations! These guys are great!


Nov 24, 2023

Very well run business, I go here for oil changes and other routine maintenance.


Nov 24, 2023

Went for dent fix. Service on the exterior and staff was good but they messed up the inside with footmarks, paint droplets everywhere and had a flat tire at their shop


Nov 24, 2023

Y'all save your time and money. The people that work here are terrible at their jobs and treat their customers terribly. There are too many good mechanics in Dallas to give your business to. Do yourself some good and go elsewhere.


Nov 24, 2022

Absolutely an awesome shop. My girlfriend and I were having some pretty severe truck problems while on a road trip from 15+ hrs and needed it fixed ASAP to get back on the road. They really took care of us when they totally could have screwed us over without us being able to do anything about it. Raphael and all the mechanics were honest and went really far out of their way to get the right parts at the right price for us. They worked very quickly because of our time crunch. Everything was super transparent and fair. Price was awesome. I’m always a little skeptical when I go to a mechanic for the first time, but I looked into everything they said and they were as honest as could be; I know “enough” about cars to know when someone is telling the truth. Allen Auto Repair was truthful through and through and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Totally awesome, and when I move to Dallas they will be my go to shop!


Nov 24, 2022

Great and professional mechanics! No insane waiting line, absolutely recommend!


Nov 24, 2022

Great honest service! I was new to town and the fixed up my first explorer engine to perfection. Why would I go anywhere else.


Nov 24, 2022

I came in on a Sunday after 2:30 pm with no appointment because my door latch would not shut .Caesar helped me out he was so professional the service was wonderful and fast and the prices were great .I have a new mechanic now and it’s Allen repair


Nov 24, 2022

I went in to get my rear bumper repaired and the service was excellent and at an great price($400 less than 2 other places I checked out). The owner Raphael was great. You can tell he does everything he can for the customer and is looking to get the job done right at a good price. I dropped my car off in the morning before work and Raphael even offered me a ride to work insisting that I shouldn’t spend money on an Uber. Cesar was my mechanic and he did an excellent job and did it all very quickly as well!


Nov 24, 2022

The owner worked with me through several options to help me find the most cost efficient way to repair my side mirror. He ordered the part and it was painted and ready for installation within days of our first visit. His team had it replaced and ready to go in about 15 minutes. Very quick and easy process and he was great to work with.


Nov 24, 2022

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They do great quality work for a fair price!


Nov 24, 2021

High praise. I recently moved to the Dallas, TX area. I had zero contacts in Dallas & needed an auto body shop. Prior to moving, I had worked with the same auto repair shop for 20+ years. I took a leap of Faith after reading a few reviews on Allen Complete Auto Repair. It worked out better than I even anticipated. Rafael is an honest man. Throughout the repair process he sent me updated pictures of each part and replacement in a significant repair process. Absolutely fair price after completion. If there was a specific request I had that was not their specialty, Rafael provided great referrals. On point. They even covered a significant amount of $$ for a vehicle delivery while I was unable to arrive on same day. Rafael trusted that I would treat him with the same integrity that he had shown me. I highly recommend this business and I'm very thankful I trusted my gut instinct and went with Rafael and Allen Complete Auto Repair and transmission..


Nov 24, 2021

I asked them to install two belts on my Mazda 3 in the evening. They did it right away for a good price. Friendly too. Noise issue fixed!


Nov 24, 2021

Was driving through Dallas and my AC needed recharging. Called and asked how quickly they could take care of it. They said 30 min - I was in and out in 20. The whole time they’re explaining the process to me and showing me what may have been causes for the lack of cold air. They know their business and if I lived in the area I’d be going back for all of my auto needs.
