Gary at Hobart is THE MAN! He was able to fix an almost unfixable car and brought it back to life! He’s super down to earth, works with your budget and is able to get things done very quickly. Can’t recommend him enough for all your pedittles and major body damage! 😚👌

I brought my Audi A5 for a front end accident. The Manager was so pleasant to work with and kept my car process smoothly. Loved the outcome and specially the service karen brought to me on this difficult time. 10 stars!!! Thank you!!!!

Not even one star for this mechanic!!! For a change of the brake pads on my foreign car, he asked 600$ 🤬 Just because I'm a woman travelling alone and thinking, I'm stupid. That is unbelievable, discriminating and pure cheating!!!! He was taking advantage of my situation. Hands off this mechanic!!!!

Gary and his team did an amazing job with the most affordable price compared to other shops

First time ever I didn't feel ripped off by a mechanic/shop! Very nice and very helpful! Definitely a place to go to.

Gary B is the man. This is the best Body Shop I have ever worked with. He went from making sure the car was on Point to the paint job to even detailing the car after it was done. I really appreciate him and his staff . I would recommend anyone to Hobart Body Shop they’re the best. Even the customer service was excellent


Aug 06, 2024

Gary went above and beyond for me and was able to get my car fixed fast and at an affordable price. If I could add two more stars, I would! Would highly recommend if you’re in the LA area!


Aug 06, 2024

He did a beautiful paint job at the best price I could find in town. I’ll definitely be returning here for any future body work my cars may need.

Great service

Honestly, go to an auto body shop that has good customer service, offers a variety of services, and good support. We were dealing with a lot of back and forth while the car was in this shop. In the end we had to take the car to a second shop to have it repaired again so it can be safe to drive on the road. Feel free to take that information/opinion into consideration when you bring your car here. We brought our car here, they did some type of repair to it with the insurance money. After I took the car back, issues started to come up that I did not have when I first brought after being hit and when I originally picked the ready car. I feel scammed and disappointed. All of the lights on the dashboard lit up and the brakes were not working properly. They did not want to help with the car when I brought these issues to them.

Love the service and speed here, will continue to be a returning customer.

Best experience I’ve ever had at an auto shop. Hands down. Gary is super communicative, very professional, and does incredible work. I was blown away. I won’t be going anywhere else in the future. Great prices, quick turn arounds, friendly staff, perfect work. 5 stars! Thanks Gary!!!

Excellent


Dec 06, 2023

Gary and Karen are the best. Their service and knowledge is at another level. I have been taking all my cars to Hobart Auto for at least 20 years and always get best service and the best price.


Dec 06, 2023

Gary and his team were great. Gary was very communicative and he went above and beyond to meet my needs.

Great service, great prices!

Highly recommended. Fast, friendly and very good.

If you're looking for a shop to trust with your car, look no further. I brought my car to Gary for collision repair and when I came to pick up my car, I had to double check the license plate to make sure it was mine. My car hasn't looked this good since the day I bought it 10 years ago. I feel like I just got a brand new car. I can't stop staring at it. The work Hobart Auto Center did on my car went so above and beyond anything I could have asked for. I cannot recommend them enough! I will be referring everyone I know to them until the end of time.


Dec 06, 2023

JV is absolutely incredible! I've been here a couple of times, and each time I am met with kindness and efficiency! Hobart will always be my go to mechanic!

La llevé mi auto Para que hicieran un cambio de fluido de transmisión y para que diagnosticaran un ruido que hacía al dar la vuelta en una esquina al día siguiente me llamaron para decirme que eran los soportes del motor que tenían que cambiarse y que el costo por el cambio de fluido de transmisión y los soportes era de $1228 yo le dije que sí mi Única condición fue que mi auto estuviera mismo día Y así fue. al día siguiente mi auto empezó a hacer muchos ruidos y decidi checar con ayuda de una lampara el trabajo que habían hecho mi sorpresa fue que nunca cambiaron los soportes del motor y regresé con ellos y me querían cobrar 150 por inspeccionar que estaba mal. yo me moleste porque claramente se miraba de los soportes no eran nuevas. las personas al final de cuentas haceptaron culpa. Pero tubo que pasar un mes para que me regresaran la cantidad de $600 en cheque y $300 en Cash y el resto no quisieron.segun era por el labor que habían hecho pero ni siquiera el fluido fue cambiado y los soportes tampoco antes de eso hice 10 visitas 30 mensajes 20 llamadas y tengo como probarlo hago esto para que no se acerquen ese lugar es totalmente fraude y mi auto ahora suenta peor que antes me arruinaron mi auto y tengan mucho cuidado porque al parecer cuando dejan un mal comentario Ellos dicen que es en la otra tienda Qué son diferentes Pero chequen ustedes mismos cuando dejan un buen comentario ellos te responden que muchas gracias porque no te responden lo mismo que no es la página correcta en la que estás

Recently my car broke down on a Friday in rush hour!!! I called AAA for a tow, I really had no idea where to bring it so I googled AAA approved body shops in Hollywood and then the tow driver also recommended them. First of all they waited for me, they close at 6 and it was very close to 6. Second they could not have been nicer. Third they diagnosed the issue (minor hose) . Since the car was there and I needed my brakes done I figured why not, the work was excellent and the price was reasonable, I think I found a new mechanic!!


Dec 06, 2023

They tried to charge me $1500 more than what the actual problem ended up costing. When I wanted to take my car to another shop for a second opinion, they tried to charge me $250 for diagnostics (this includes plugging in a machine for about 30 seconds to get a reading and/or opening up the hood to see what is the matter) When I inquired about the cost being so high on everything he was very quick to convince me he knew what he was doing and that this was the appropriate cost of things... Basically the typical auto shop taking advantage of a woman and her lack of automobile knowledge. I don't trust the shop at all.


Dec 06, 2022

Could not recommend this place enough. I have a 2012 Chevy Sonic that was having some issues and the team made sure I was taken care of, allowed me to bring it back when the check engine light came back on and made sure I left with a well running vehicle. Jr is honest, reliable, and really cares about his customers. I will definitely be coming back if I run into any other car problems.


Dec 06, 2022

Exceptional service here.


Dec 06, 2022

Hobart Auto center is my go to auto shop ! Highly recommend. I have worked with Gary at the auto body department many times and he has went over and beyond each time. 5 stars !


Dec 06, 2022

JV took nice care of of my car. Highly recommend!


Dec 06, 2022

My AAA membership recommended this place when I had a flat & the staff here was awesome. Fast and professional. I went back recently for a pressure check because my tires were looking low and they were once again, very courteous and efficient. Thank you!

My catalytic converter was stolen on January 21 and this place was quick in replacing it. Unfortunately, three months down the road my check engine light came on and after troubleshooting everything else that might cause the light, we have determined there’s something wrong with the catalytic converter. I live in Michigan so I cannot bring my car back into this shop. I sent them all the documentation of the problems. I am hoping the shop will stick to its one year warranty in labor and parts, and then I will be able to post a more positive review.


Dec 06, 2022

Solid shop, fixed my issue with a quick diagnostic and had me out the door in less than an hour!


Dec 06, 2022

Thank you for a job well done! Vehicle looks fantastic and new. Quality body work done by Gary and his staff. Finding good quality craftsmanship in Los Angeles is difficult, but look no further than Hobart. Thank you!!


Dec 06, 2021

The staff was super professional and very helpful, especially Gary. Gary runs the auto shop. He was extremely transparent, helpful, kind, and professional. I came in lost and needing help and guidance and Gary was able to make me and the process as easy as possible. I would recommend this shop to anybody in Los Angeles, and I will definitely come back if I have any future problems.


Dec 06, 2021

Very good service! I brought my car in for a new paint job, as well as suspension repairs after driving down some bumpy L.A. roads. The guys at Hobart were very kind and professional. Gary, the head honcho, worked out all the complicated details with my insurance, and it took less than a week to make all the repairs. I give them 5 out of 5 stars, would definitely come back again!


Dec 06, 2021

Very professional price are reasonable. Drop your vehicle off and they do the rest. Gary is a really Great Guy.
