We have received car repair services from Holiday Auto Centers several times! We have been very pleased with the service & craftmanshipt that we received from Leo & Jeffrey! We would like to rate the 5 out of 5 for their services. Kaz. read more

My husband took our EUV to Holiday Auto Center for the first time, for the 25,000 mile regular servicing. The fellows did everything - rotated tires, replaced windshield wipers, fluids, filters, etc., then washed the car and cleaned it inside, including getting the beach sand off the floor. John insisted that my (elderly) husband accept courtesy rides to and from the shop. He also pointed out two cracks and a scrape, ones that would be very expensive to fix. But he recommended leaving them as they are. We feel fortunate to have this shop in our neighborhood. read more

If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. I was in a hit and run accident that caused about $5500 in damage to my car. They turned a nightmare experience into a quick recovery. They handled my insurance and put me at ease. They experty fixed my car and it was ready on the day they said it would be and it drives like nothing ever happened to it. The car looks great. This is the only auto body shop I will ever use if my car is ever damaged again. read more

Hey people, I just wanted again to say how much Holiday Auto Center is a valued asset to the community! These people are professionals and their courtesy is off the charts! They're work is so on point that when you get your car back, it looks like it just came off the showroom floor! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM to anyone who has unfortunately been in an accident. I personally value their services and quality in their work. Out of 5 stars, I give them 20! I had a car that was hit 3 different times and each time I got it back, it looked brand new as if it came off the showroom floor! HUGE SHOUT OUT TO JEFFREY AND TO HIS WONDERFUL DAD, keep up the great work fellas! read more

I was referred to this garage and was hoping for a good experience, and I got it. My car had back bumper damage due to an accident and they took care of me within a reasonable amount of time and were honest and fair to deal with. I will go back in the future for my auto needs. Thank you especially to Jeffrey Kiralla for your help. read more

The shop fixed the damage to my car, but they weren't as gentle as I thought they'd be. I found scratches on my side door and window which I had to tell them so I gotta wait ANOTHER week to get it serviced. The driving mechanism isn't the same considering it's a NEW car. Too many inconveniences and sloppy service. read more

Leo and his crew do and have always done such an amazing job on all their clients cars. I had the unfortunate need for his services and he did my car and me just as good as I had every remembered. Got me in a rental car that was covered by the insurance and I was on my way until my car was ready. The car shined brighter than when I took it in and was beautiful. Thank goodness my dad used to come to this place and always spoke highly of their work. Not wanting to come or go back there ANYTIME soon of course, but if I needed work, this would most definitely be the place. Great. Local shop that cares for its clients and the community is is located in. Highly recommend! read more

An update to my experience. This place never ceases to maintain the excellent quality of automobile service and customer service. I have been there on several occasions for my automotive needs. Everything from an oil change, to purchasing new tires, to work on my vehicle's suspension, they have been terrific. Their prices can't be beat either. You can't go wrong taking your vehicle here! read more

I have been using Leo Karalla and his team at Holiday for over two years. Recommended by a close friend who's been Leo's client for 15+ years. I drive a 2007 Ford Expedition with 225k miles and Leo keeps it running like it's new. He is very honest, works with integrity and explains the mechanical problem issues to you clearly. He charges fair prices for all his work. I drive 20 miles from home to leave my vehicle with Holiday. I trust no one better than Leo and his team at Holiday Auto Center. read more

I brought my car into Holiday Auto Center after someone hit it while it was parked on the street. The front desk workers were all super friendly and accommodating, and they handled everything with my insurance. It was a seamless process, and my car came out looking brand new! Jeffrey also went above and beyond and helped me fix a part of my car that was broken, unrelated to the accident. If I could give 6 stars, I would! read more

Leo has been working on my various trucks for a decade. Always a straight shooter and always trying to find ways to save me money. Quality of work is solid. I moved out of the area and now don't go anymore, and I don't have someone like them near me now. read more

When I needed a quick fix for when I messed up my front left light and quarter panel on my truck, Jeffrey was super responsive and helpful in getting me in and out and all fixed up. He handled everything so smoothly with the insurance and I didn't even have to worry. The level of service Holiday auto showed me was unparalleled and I'll always come back to him if I ever need body work done to any of my vehicles. Highly recommend! read more

Very honest shop. For several years I have been taking my cars here anytime I'm in need of repairs. They even help find rental cars for me or they'll give me a ride home. read more

My car was having battery issues and this was the only place near me that was able to assist me. Dropped my car off and they were able to diagnose the problem and fix it within a few hours. I spoke with John who was extremely helpful and updated me throughout the process. He was kind enough to ask me detailed questions to pinpoint the issue unlike other nearby places. I was able to drop my car off last minute without making an appointment. Thank you so much John! read more

Great Service and location. Leo was so kind and understanding! My car needed some collision repairs, Jeffrey informed me it would take about 1 week for all work to be completed gave me an estimated date and it sure was completed by then. My car now looks amazing happy with the work that was done! Highly recommend Holiday Auto Center! :) read more

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. read more

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! read more

Extremely friendly and helpful office and mechanic staff. If there is a problem, they will strive to solve it.

I read the reviews so I wanted to use them for my collision repairs. I called the Receptionist for info. Both times she was cold, short and said No a lot. So I decided to take my business to Service King in Monterey Park. Service king is awesome. read more

I have been coming to Holiday Auto Center for years. They have been there in time when the car had mechanical issues going out of their way to bring a tow truck with a loaner car in tow. I would say you get what you pay for in regards to service/parts if there is a problem with the repair they back it up to get it right. Thanks Leo and Staff for keeping my car running smoothly and safely. God Bless Eric A read more

My car was hit while parked in LA and left un-drivable on a Sunday. Called my insurance and made arrangements to take it to Holiday Auto the following Monday. It did take awhile to get the estimate and the work done however this is understandable due to the current circumstances brought upon by the pandemic--social distancing, constraints/overwhelmed shipping for parts. Shout out to Jeffery for being so helpful and informing me of all the issues going on when working on my car. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Honestly we use these guys for everything. I own hubble studio and legit there's nothing I don't go there for. Leo is the man and is very considerate of you and gives you real information. Doesn't bullshit you. Thanks for being great read more

They had my car fixed in one week. Excellent work and paint job. Customer service staff are excellent! read more

It's no wonder why this place has so many good reviews. I originally found this place on yelp and after reading the reviews they said to ask for Jeffrey. They are right! He is one of the appraisers working there and will get everything set up to get your vehicle fixed. Jeffrey was very courteous and quick to respond. If I had any questions he would answer them promptly and without making me feel like a nuisance. They fixed the issue I had with my door and looked like a brand new car!! I would recommend this place to anyone who is weary about finding a good, reliable place to get your car fixed! read more

They were the best of the best. My car had over $5000 worth of damages and my car is only 2 years old off the lot but it was looking like it was the test drive car for all of LA. They brought my car back to day one from dealer. I was in astonished with the quality of work from the receptionist to the shop they did amazing work. Thanks Vicky and Jeff. Keep up the high quality work. All 10's read more

I've taken my car to HAC for several repairs. They are incredible. The staff is kind and works expeditiously. I've been very satisfied with the work they've done. 5 thumbs up for Jeffrey! read more

I am giving 2 stars ONLY because of the customer service.... otherwise it would be 1 star. My insurance company sent my car here for some front end work.... I had to reject the work twice before it was done correctly. The brand new front bumper has some bumps under the paint.... I am just overall not happy. Leo the owner repeatedly told me that I should not expect perfection out of the work because I don't own a Maserati or a Mercedes... and it is "just a production car." I don't care if I own the most expensive car in the world or the cheapest.... if I am paying for a job to be done... then I expect the absolute best possible job to be done... not just "good enough." I will never have work done here again. Update (day after picking up car): the alignment that was done on the car is not correct as it now veers to the left instead of going straight. Also there is a shake that happens around 50mph... ugh. I really regret ever having my car worked on here read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great experience at this place. My car was fixed and left like new, plus with a life time warranty. Leo has the best customer service and knowledge on the business. read more

I had trunk replaced and painted. There was over spray on my window and top of car. Very unprofessional.

5 STARS I was referred here in 2018 by my insurance company Progressive, after a pretty serious accident. I leased a fully electric Chevy Bolt was concerned that about the pristine condition the car would need to be in, in order to return without any penalties or extra fees (also the new technology and hard to fix parts). Leo, Jeffrey and everyone at Holiday Auto were absolutely fantastic throughout the process from start to finish-- polite, profession, and very easy to communicate with. They helped make a really stressful situation a lot better; answered every question, addressed every concern. I recommend them for their honesty and thoroughness (they worked with me to fix every detail until I was fully satisfied with the condition of my car). They even honored an agreement to help me with an issue two years after I had originally first seen them. There are a lot of shops in LA, but not as many that operate with the integrity and sincerity that Holiday Auto does. Thank you! 5 STARS. read more

No one ever wants to find themselves searching for an auto body shop. It's such a Stressful drag. A friend told me to check out HAC and I was impressed with their high rating. I now know why. Ask for Jeffrey. He's very upbeat and super helpful. The work took a bit of time to turn around but it was on my insurance's end. I do wish they could've communicated with me a bit better. But the work is spectacular. You'd never know I had an accident. Definitely recommend!! read more

Our company just got our 16 ft stake bed truck repaired and the work that they did was great the truck seems to be better than before thanks to you guys at Holiday for doing such a great job Greg H. read more

I don't go to any other mechanic except, Leo. Holiday Auto is family owned and operated, they do great work and I believe are 100% trustworthy. If you're looking for a great mechanic that you can trust this is the place to go. read more

Leo is my go to man. I needed a minor fix on my car and I actually drove out of my way to go to him because I knew he'd let me know what was really wrong. They are always prompt and nice. If you're a woman and you're nervous about getting "screwed over" ... This is your place. They have never treated me like I don't know what's up with my car and they have flat out told me when I don't need to fix something (aka saved me money) Great place! read more

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!!!!!!!!!!!!! Richard Lee read more

This is long overdue as Holiday Auto Center has helped me several times over the past 2 months. First, I was in an accident and there were quite a few things that needed attention. The crew did a fantastic job and my car has been running great ever since. Another issue came up that was potentially related to the accident and Leo took charge and fixed that immediately. All the while, explaining everything to me, pointing out the problem, and making sure I understood what happened. The final tip of the hat that I would give them 10 stars if I could is that I went to a local shop (closer to my work) for a simple brake job and they wanted to charge at least $1,000 to replace the brakes, rotors, caliper assembly, etc. I called Leo and explained the situation - and he took it into his own hands to call the place. He also helped me get my car towed to Holiday and he fixed just the brakes as that was all that was needed. His expertise and caring attitude will stick with me forever. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! read more

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! read more

I've been going to Holiday for years. The shop was recommended by one of my fellow teachers at Roosevelt HS. They are a fantastic auto shop. They kept my 21 year old Jeep Wrangler running beautifully and the guy that bought it from me goes there. They do body work, smog checks, and keep my 11 year old Honda Element running smoothly. I love all the people there, they are so nice and efficient. read more
