Sure can recommend someone. It’s me. But I only have a select group of client vehicles.

In fact I just changed out a fuel pump today on one of the wife’s cars.

I delivered parts for NAPA for a year and there are a lot of good shops in Baton Rouge, many already mentioned. All excellent choices.

C&R on Burbank. New owner Greg is as nice & knowledgeable as the previous owners if not moreso.


I’ve been following Greg around for over 25 years now. He’s about as honest as they come. Hell. I was driving back 12 hours last few years to have him to regular maintenance.

My daughter's roommate totaled her car last week. She got referred to a shop on Perkins near LSU (Gordon & Sandifer) and I was so nervous for 2 college girls to roll in there alone. I listened on the phone while the guy gave her the estimate and told her it wasn't worth it for her to pay out of pocket to fix it. She only had liability insurance. He gave her a price that she should expect at the dealership for a trade in and told her if they offered her less to call him and he had friends that buy wrecked cars and he could get her at least that. He said he didn't wasn't trying to screw her on repairs and then have some dad call pissed off after he ordered the parts because it would have been a rip off. He has no idea my daughter had me connected to her phone listening. 1000 out of 10 would recommend. The girls ended up going to Team Toyota where they got an incredible offer on her totaled car (that actually overheated and the dealership had to pick up off the side of the road) and got her in a "new" vehicle pretty quickly. We did know someone at Team so we knew they wouldn't be taken advantage of there with someone looking out for them - the shop was a blind recommendation and walk in that exceeded our expectations.

Lemoine's Body Shop on South Choctaw is solid.

Gordon & Sandifer? If so they've been around forever and are very reputable.

Mark at University Car Care. His place looks like a dump but those on this board that know him knows he does good work at a fair price.


Agree. He’s been a solid guy each time I’ve used his shop

On Siegen near Perkins, can't beat K and M Auto.
Seconded. Brought in my old Toyota with a 180k miles this summer because A/C was not cooling. Found a slow condenser leak, told me he could fix but would be $1200.00. Before I started crying he suggested I just top off the freon for $160.00 (including his diagnostic work) and do the same next summer if I still had the car. Cool as ice since then with $1000.00 in my pocket.
