    Getting ready to move!

    This review is for Kelvin only, as I did not go to the shop for service, he came to me for a tow. Luckily, through AAA services, I was sent this angel from above to see if my car needed a jump start versus a tow. He arrived promptly, with a smile that could make anyone who is stranded feel at peace. His humor lightened my mood and the next thing you know he has expertly rolled my little sentimental CRV out of my parking spot and it was ready to go. He did offer to take me to their own garage and I was tempted as he was so nice. But I simply can't be unfaithful to my small town mechanic, so off we went to my place of preference. The truck ride over was a hoot, we were both laughing, sharing stories about dead batteries, towing and the similarities to jump starting someone's heart.... these are conversations you have when someone is a towing expert and the other is a nurse. The real challenge was for him to back my CRV into the absolute most narrow space in So. Cal. I was so impressed, I had to hop out to take a video of his expertise. I was sad that my dad's car had to be towed through the streets of Pasadena, but Kelvin did it with such care and concern, along with some giggles, that in the end, it was my fortune. To the owner of Auto Car, you have a gem of an employee. I hope you treat him well.

    I got stranded in Monrovia for 5 hours back and forth with AAA because I need someone to bring me a 2 gallons of gas to get me back home, I've been a long time customer with AAA for over 18 years, and I never had any problem until tonight. They sent the first driver from Auto Car, his name is Mark. Mark came at 8:30 PM; he told me the only thing he could do was give me a tow to the nearest gas station so I could pay for my own gas there. I told him that he was supposed to have a gas tank and give me 2 gallons, because that's what I paid for my AAA service, he said he didn't have any fuel on his truck, he also said he didn't want to pay out of his pocket for 2 gallons, wow so he didn't come prepared, so I told him if he couldn't help me, then I will call someone else, he won't be bothered anymore. So he left, and I called AAA, which they told me, Mark confirmed he already given me 2 gallons of gas in which he never done, so AAA would rather calling me a liar than sending me another driver. I had to request the service at least 4 more times, it's already passed mid night, that Arturo called and told me he would be on his way with my 2 gallons of gas. At least until 1:30 AM, he finally came and helped me. He told me he was the person in charge for the night crew, and if Mark didn't do his job, I should have reported him. Obviously if I lied about getting free gas, I wouldn't be sitting in my car for over 5 hours and not be able to drive, so not only Mark lied about his task, he didn't do his job either. After reading all the reviews, I realized I wasn't the only one having issues with the drivers of this company, because the next day someone from Auto Car gave me a call and asking me about my experience and that Mark has been "retrained" Alright, what's done is done.

    Very rude, with a bad attitude.

    AAA sent a tow truck driver who looked and acted like he was straight out of jail. He arrived and was already agitated. We explained that the tire is completely shredded and could not be driven. It was parked in the carport. All this info was provided to AAA. The driver immediately told us that we need to drive the SUV out into the street or he couldn't help us. So reluctantly we drive and shredded what was left of the tire and damaged the rim. Finally after scraping the rim about 30 yards into the street, I explained to the driver that we were concerned about damaging the car more. He then said "it was there policy blah blah blah." He said that he can call someone else to tow our car and I told him that it's already in the street like he asked. The driver then said "do you want me to service your car or what?" I responded by saying please give me a minute. The driver the. Packed his stuff drove off laughing and taking pictures of us... while saying "good luck with you car". REALLY?! If you value your safety ..DO NOT GO WITH THEM". Here's a pic of the rude driver as he is simultaneously threatening me to stop recording and pulling the ramp away from our car as he drove away laughing and snapping pictures of us. From the sounds of another yelp review... they had almost the same experience from the flatbed driver.

    Car was smashed in the right side, needed suspension work. Autocar was able to restore it to its former glory.

This was my first experience dealing with a body shop and insurance claim, and I definitely made the right choice picking this spot. Hillel, Peter, and Ruben were all super knowledable and were able to provide the needed information, assurances, and decisions I needed to know. C&C Collision handled all the exchanges between my insurance, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. The team really did go above and beyond, with a complimentary wash & polish at the end; vehicle pick-up felt like taking delivery of a brand new car all over again. If you need a body shop, C&C Collision should be at the top of your list. You can leave your ride with them, and have full confidence that they will get the job done right!

The paint match was flawless, and their attention to detail really impressed me. They even sent a replacement part back to the manufacturer because it didn't meet their standards rather than installing something they weren't satisfied with.

Excellent workmanship, integrity, and customer service!

The repair itself is flawless, panel gaps, paint match, everything lines up like it came off the line that way. On a G-Wagon that's not a given; plenty of shops will happily take a swing at one and hand you back something that's almost right. This isn't that. But the part that really made the difference was the insurance side. Dealing with the at-fault carrier is normally a part-time job you didn't apply for, endless calls, lowball estimates, supplements that go nowhere. Alex handled all of it. He knew exactly what to push back on and how to document it, and I basically just got updates instead of headaches. Zero fighting on my end. He also does diminished value reports, which I didn't even know was a thing I should be asking about. A car like this loses real money on paper just from having an accident on the record, and he walked me through recovering that. If you've been hit and nobody's mentioned diminished value to you, ask him about it. Bonus: the man knows the local food scene better than most people who write about it for a living. Ask him where to eat while you're waiting, I got better recommendations there than from any app. Highly recommend. Ask for Alex.

As someone who…read moredoesn't know much about cars, I was really nervous when I needed a repair because I'm used to being highballed on pricing and services. Alex was amazing and explained what needed to be done, at a super reasonable price compared to other shops nearby. They fixed my cracked grill and bumper no problem within a day of drop off, which amazed me because as a Mini owner i'm always used to being without my car for a week since they always have to order the parts. I will be coming here for literally everything in the future as long as they can make it happen!

When I picked it up, they had done a fabulous job--the car looked brand new, and they had even washed it for me! Later on, I realized some paint wasn't completely cleaned off, and I also noticed another small scuff on the car that I had missed earlier. I brought it back, and David was more than willing to fix both issues for completely free. I even tried to pay him for the extra work on the scuff, and he absolutely refused to take my money. If you are looking for honest pricing, incredibly fast turnaround, and someone who genuinely cares about doing right by their customers, go see David. Amazing experience all around!

My daughter and I initially came in because we thought her front bumper needed to be replaced. Patrick took the time to look at the car carefully and explain that because of damage to an adjoining panel, simply replacing the bumper would likely lead to additional work and significantly more expense. What impressed me most was that he wasn't focused on selling us the most expensive repair. Instead, he talked us through our options and suggested a much more practical solution for the condition of the car right now. We came back a couple of days later, and he took care of it quickly and got everything looking much better than it did before. Patrick was knowledgeable, patient, honest, and genuinely considerate of our budget. It is rare to encounter someone in any business who seems more interested in helping a customer make the right decision than in maximizing what they can charge them. We left extremely appreciative of the time and care he gave us. If we do need more extensive body work in the future, Hi-Quality Auto Body will absolutely be the first place we go. Thank you, Patrick, for going above and beyond. Highly recommend!

I picked up my 2022 Lexus ES 350 this afternoon, and I was wowed. My car looked like I had just purchased it. They repaired my left quarter panel, which had previous damage, as well as my rear bumper that was damaged in the accident. The repairs came out perfect. Thank you, Patrick, for taking great care of me and making me feel like customer #1. He even went through all the lights with me and touched up my left rocker molding, which had a lot of wear and damage from my wheelchair, as well as the inner pillar where I step into the car. That extra attention to detail really meant a lot because they didn't have to do that. I highly recommend this anyone looking for quality work and outstanding customer service.
