Montebello Auto Center

I couldn’t recognize my car when they called me to pick it up, because my car looked like new after fix. I feel so lucky I found this place because I was been told it will cost minimum ten thousand to fix due to frame damage. My car was fixed no more than $5,000 in this place. I paid out of my pocket because I was at fault without insurance. They are honest people. I felt less worried when working with them. I also wanted them to change the old tires and old motor oil for me. All these works and repairs cost no more than $5,000. They inspect the damage and sum up the total cost for my repair in the first day. They are honest and reliable. They also cleaned my wind shield and interior, wax the body, fix my crooked license plate. Again, the repair work amazed me. I felt my car was like new, newly brought from a dealer. It was much better than my expectation. I felt very lucky and I appreciate this place very much. How I found this place? Firstly, I brought my car to a famous and well-known collision center for inspection. They told me their shop was not able to fix it because the frame was damaged and they would consider it was a “total lost. Then they knew I don’t have insurance and needed to get it fixed. They kindly told me to go down a few blocks, this place, to see if I can get my car fixed in there and they do a good job. Later, I met some honest and helpful people in here. Basically, the whole front was damaged, from the hood to the bottom. Two headlights and grills were broken. Inside, the radiator was damaged. The frame shifted a bit to the right, weld joint was broken off. When I drove my car to the shop after the accident, the bottom scratched the ground all the time. In fact, my car collided to the right side of an SUV during a left turn at a night. My air bag didn’t go off and I was fine. I actually thought I hit an animal at first. I realized it was a hard hit when I saw the damage on the SUV. The whole passenger door popped out, the metal was ripped. Even though this place had fixed my car and saved me money, I still have to pay off the coverage to the other side’s insurance, if the other side chooses to file a claim rather than sue me. I will be paying off a repayment up to $50,000 or more. If they choose to sue me, then there will be no limit…and I have to declare bankruptcy, which would do no good for both of us except our lawyers… I had carefully driven and insured for years. One day, I thought car insurance was a rip off, in a strong believe that I will never got into an accident at my fault. Now I ended up with a painful lesson… I got my insurance now… 1 out of 7 Americans does not have insurance, so be careful out there…

Joe and Maribel are great people, 3 times did someone hit my car; I took it here. Whenever, it is finished; the detail is fine and the car is clean. Would have given them 5 stars, but this is due to the racist and condescending mechanic I had to deal with that worked there. However, this is not their fault and would return to have my car done; if I don't meet that same mechanic.

This place is amazing I really recommend them. I was in an accident and my insurance sent me a list of places that they work with. So I ended up going to one and they gave me the run around and that they weren't able to start on my car until 2 weeks later. So I search places near by and I came I cross them I read a review and decided to take it in. I'm so happy I did they help me out and took care of everything. Also when I received my vehicle it look amazing they wax my car and also fix other things that weren't part of the accident which was great. I say go here they will take care of u I'm sure you will be very happy with the outcome my car looked like new.

Great mechanics, great body work. Friendly, honest, smart people
