Holiday Auto Center

Another amazing experience! Leo and the guys (and lady!) here are just fantastic. I highly recommend this place.

I trust my car with Leo, and I’ve been going for 2 years now.
If you value trust, this is your place. If you value rock-​bottom rates more than you value trust, keep looking. Leo charges fair rates, but more importantly, he will not steer you into anything that your car doesn’t need.

This is got to be one of the most honest, professional, diligent body shop I have ever encountered. I experience car trouble and they immediately house me out and last-​minute was able to get me a rental with only 15 minutes left to closing on Friday. My insurance was giving me such a difficult time that the man «Leo» (who I recommend you speak to if you have any problems) Took the time out of his day to repeatedly try to contact my adjusters but they didn’t return either one of our calls lol
In the end my insurance suggested I take my car to a different place in order to receive a rental that I needed otherwise I would’ve had my work done there and recommend anybody else who needs work for their vehicles to go there.
I need more work done on my car in September and they are definitely the ones that I’m going to!!! I give them 10 stars for customer service and for being so empathetic to my situation!!!

My Honda Civic suffered visible damage to the hood, grille and hardly visible damage to the front bumper. Leo helped discover all of the damages like the bent hood hinge, and negotiated with the insurance to cover all the repairs using genuine Honda parts. The quality of the repair work is excellent and the appearance is just like new.
Highly recommended for quality repairs and timely answers to questions and concerns.

Brilliant auto body work — I got into an accident and had pretty bad damage to my car, but after Holiday made the repairs, it looks brand new, and all clean and pretty. And they are highly skilled mechanics as well who fix your car and then it stays fixed! And reasonably priced. And everyone there is helpful and personable. Highly recommend!

Great customer service at reasonable prices. I have been taking my car here for more than 15 years. I highly recommend it.

Im really on the fence with these guys. My car was badly damaged in an accident, they missed the promise date by over a month. When I finally got the car back within a day it overheated. I returned it, waiting 3 weeks and again was told it was ready. It didn’t even make it to my home before it overheated again. The car went back and forth to them for the next 3 months until finally it was sent to the dealer for proper repair. The body work was good and customer service outstanding, but they could have gone the extra step and made sure the car was fixed properly before returning it to me. Now, Leo the owner went out of his way to try and make things right, he towed my car back to his shop twice for free and gave me a loaner to use. I certainly will try them again only because of the outstanding customer service. Perhaps my mechanically issue was just a fluke.

This is place fantastic! Crashed my car and my insurance company wanted to total it immediately without inspection. I didn’t want to take the word of my insurance company so quickly so I called Holiday Auto.
They arranged to tow my car to their place and gave me a loaner while they assessed the damaged.
After looking at the car they determined that it would cost more to fix than the value of car but even brought it to a competitor to get a second opinion for me.
Even though I didn’t do business with them. They treated me as a valued guest and have earned a loyal customer.

I took my car in for some work & was done with in 10 days so not bad at all. But I thought everything was well until I began to have trouble closing my trunk. Went back to fix it but they still didn’t fix my trunk. So be ware & take your car somewhere else this place does not do a good job fixing the damages on a car. Very disappointed !!!

I was faced with looking for a good company to do a number of repairs on the car. I had saved up money and was looking ofrward to having my car look new again. I read the reviews on here and decided to get an estimate. I went in and Leo took a look at my car He gave me a great estimate and seemed to really take time to work it out so my car would get some TLC. I brought it in on a monday and picked it up on Friday all finished. It looks AMAZING! brand new. He was very fair about the pricing and the whole staff seemed very friendly.
What I really liked was that on monday I realized I had left something in my car and when I went to pick it up they had already started on my car (how awesome that they didnt waste any time).
I felt like I could go back at any time if I had any issues and I would be in good hands.
They may not have a fancy waiting room like the first place I went but the estimate was MUCH MORE REASONABLE and really I didnt need all the fancy stuff when I wanted a nice trustworthy place and a great looking car at the end.
Also I really liked that my car was given a through wash and armoralled.
5 STAR FOR SURE!!!

Leo is the best. He gave me a quote to fix my fender and headlight and reaping the bumper that was literally half the price of the two previous quotes I got. They had the work done quickly and when I had a question about the paint matching he waxed and buffered my hood for free to show me the paint matched. Excellent work and good communication throughout.

I was involved in an accident, and needed my car repaired ASAP. I was sent to Holiday Auto Center for photos and a estimate. I asked Jeffrey about how long would it take to complete the repairs and he said about ten business days. They gave me a loaner car to get around in till my car was repaired. They were honest and thorough on informing me of the procedures. They were so kind and courteous, I couldn’t believe it. I’ve driven by their shop many times and never knew how valuable they are to not only me, but to the community. A virtual gold mine! THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME! To all who has had the miss fortune of being involved in an accident, I recommend Holiday Auto Center. It’s a family owned business, so you know you’ll be getting cutting edge courtesy as well as state of the art service. My car looks like it just came out of the Carson Toyota dealership. Unilocal only allows five stars, but I give Holiday fifty stars. Both Leo and Jeffrey are heroes in my book. Thanks guys!

I was involved in an accident which the right front area of my 2000 Toyota Avalon encountered serious damage. Called my insurance company and was advised to leave my car at Holiday Auto Body in East Los Angeles. I left the car there for a week and went to pick it up at the assigned completion date.
Wow!!! What an incredible transformation! My 2000 Toyota transformed into the car that i purchased thirteen years ago… A brand new front end and matching paint job gave the car a «fresh from the factory» appearance! Not only was the outside
given excellent service but the interior of my car was addressed as well. It looked a brand new interior with vacuuming and cleaning!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO TONY KIRALLA AND STAFF!!!

One good deed returns a hundred fold…
I am eternally grateful for Holiday Auto Center’s manager, Tony.
I had 12 yoga ball chairs to pump up for the students at the nearby charter school that I work for and he was so kind and helpful to make this happen for me.
He helped me pump a few of them but when it started getting busy for the shop he gave me full access to the pump to manage on my own.
I was able to pump all 12 yoga ball chairs in approximately 35 minutes while also having to shuttle the chairs back and forth to my school since I had limited space in my tiny Prius.
Even in the height of the hustling and bustling of business that buzzed throughout the shop, he never stopped short to help me safely back out of the driveway to return to my school.
I can’t wait to go back to his shop to get my car serviced. I know if there are people like him who exude such great compassion the service will match everything else.
Sending the Holiday Auto Center lots of love for their kindness!!!
I would recommend this place to everyone I know!
Thank you Tony!

well this is my 1^st review…
This place is so bad I just had to sign up to tell people about this place.
I took my car here for an oil change.
I asked for some price quotes as well on some work that needed to be down.
I dropped car off on Monday night
the next day I had to call them at 4:30 in the afternoon to see if car was ready. They didn’t even start on the car. I let it silde becuase I understand you can get busy. You should at least call me to let me know that my car will not be ready. That night after being put on hold for 15 minutes TONY said he would call me back 1^st thing in the morning with estimate.
Wednesday came around… still no call… egaer to hear when I would be able to get me car back. I called them after lunch at 1. TONY said he still didnt have the prices for me and they didnt do the oil change yet! He said would call me back in 15 min… again 4:30 came around still no call. At this point i just wanted to get my car back. I called them again since TONY never called me back. He promissed me they woukld have everything ready tomorrow.
THURSDAY came around… waited until after lunch again to call sinc I still did not recieve a call from them to get status. He FINALLY gave me prices for a BRAKE JOB !!
I picked up my car thursday night after it being in their hand sfor three days to get an oil change and an estimate for a rear brake job.
I WILL NEVER go to this place again. TAKE YOUR CAR SOME WHERE ELSE!
To Holiday Auto Center… when you say your going to call someone back, call them back. Thanks!

These people dd excellent work repairing my car — it looks brand new from bumper to bumper, inside and out. The shop has a friendly family atmosphere, the waiting area is really nice (and air conditioned!), the chairs are comfortable, They give a lifetime guarantee of their work. Leo, the top guy, was accessible by phone and very personable, and he made sure I knew exactly what was going on from start to finish. All in all, it was probably the best experience I have ever had with an auto body shop, and I will definitely use Holiday Auto Center for all my future auto body work,

A couple of months ago, I was involved in a minor incident where someone backed into my car and scratch the side of my bumper and some of the hood. I drive a black car, so it was very easy to see the damage contrasted against the paint.
The driver asked if I would be willing to go to a body shop near downtown to repair it instead of getting the insurance companies involved. I guess he was a frequent visitor to this shop for repairs himself. I live in Lomita and work in El Segundo, so this was going to be a bit of a trip for me to endure. I did initial research on Holiday Auto and what little I could find seemed very positive.
I called and spoke to Leo, the co-​owner, and he was very nice, spoke very clearly, and suggested I come take my car there for an appraisal so he could then contact the guy that hit me, ask if the price was ok, and then start repairs that day and give me a loaner car in the meantime.
When you visit and exit off of the 5, and make a right on Whittier, you’ll notice there are actually two parts to the shop on opposite sides of the street. You will want to turn left across traffic to the location on the North side of the street. Figured that out the hard way.
I parked and went into the office (which wasn’t clearly marked) and met Leo. It was obvious that his shop was very busy because repairmen kept coming in and out to consult with him, but he seemed to multitask quite well. He had me sit in the waiting area for a couple minutes while he finished up some things and then apologized and asked me to show him the damage.
I took him to my car, he analyzed it, then we went back in and he said if it was approved by the guy that hit me it would take a few days to repair but they would definitely be able to restore it properly. After getting approval from the guy that hit me, I handed over my keys on a Monday and he estimated Friday early afternoon I’d get it back. He gave me the keys to a loaner car (an old Dodge Stratus I believe… not exactly like repairs at a dealership) and I went home.
I called him on Friday to confirm that the car would be ready that afternoon and he said they should be able to have it done by 3pm or so. I made my way over and picked it up. It was definitely well repaired. I couldn’t see any signs of the damage. And I guess he replaced the bumper and did whatever else he had to for around $ 650 (he made me a copy of the quote, though I didn’t have to pay for anything). He also gave me a little certificate that indicated the parts and workmanship were guaranteed for life. If I had any issues with the work they did, I could bring it back any time and they would perform further repairs at no cost.
Summary: Quality work, expedient delivery, probably affordable prices (not an expert). Leo is a great communicator and an honest guy. He is very busy, so you might have to be proactive when getting status on your vehicle, but if I ever have to do auto-​body work again I would definitely consider his office despite it being pretty far away for me.
