This review is long overdue, but I wanted to make sure to post it to praise Hobart Auto Center for their outstanding work and customer service. My car was dinged badly while parked, but luckily the other party left their contact info in order to go through insurance. Gary at Hobart Auto was responsive, friendly, and extremely helpful by working with the insurance company for me and facilitating the car rental. This place does amazing work and my car looks as if nothing ever happened to it! In addition, they were nice enough to give it awax job, so it looked even better than before the ding.

Had some very deep scratches all along my driver side panels and hood. As well as sunspot damage on my roof and trunk. I won't go into detail how much the scratches hurt me personally, but Hobart Auto Center was up to the task, responded quickly to my quote, and made the damage to my wallet half of what would have been compared to other body shops in the area. As a bonus and added pleasant surprise, they did me a solid by working on fixing cosmetic defects at no added cost. The work done is quality and it was like driving a brand new car. Thank you so much to everyone at Hobart Auto Center and I hope this review persuades you, the reader, to select them as your choice.

WOW! This is the. best body shop in the business. Gary is a wonderful, honest, and talented operator. I will never ever bring my cars anywhere else. It is not possible to find someone who is more honest. The price and quality of work is shockingly good. It is rare in this world to find someone who says what they are going to do and does not try to trick you or alter the price. I am incredibly happy that I found Gary and his shop.

Came the day before Christmas Eve and still received outstanding service. Needed a small replacement part painted after something unfortunate and unexpected happened to my car. Gary gave me an amazing price compared to other nearby auto body shops and he even had it ready for me the next day, ask for him he's the best!!! Will definitely return if need be, Gary is definitely the easiest mechanic I've ever worked with.

I had an awesome experience at Hobart Auto Center! Finding a trustworthy company/person to fix your car is always stressful esp if you're a woman bc you fear you will get taken advantage of. But my experience with Gary at Hobart was the total opposite...He explained and showed me exactly what the problem was and when we discovered I had ripped my bumper and it needed to be replaced, he immediately called to see how much it would be and how soon it could be delivered. He ordered it right away and when it got there, he painted it and got it ready before I had to bring my car back. This way I didn't have to rent a car, and it only took him one day of labor to put the new bumper on. I will definitely be back if I have any other issues with my car!

My husband and I have an old SUV that we love. Despite being over 20 years old, we plan to drive it another 200K miles. But we wanted a color change paint job. That usually will cost well more than an old car is worth. That or you get a crappy, unfinished looking job with poor materials. We found Hobart through Yelp. Gary was amazingly responsive, understood what we wanted to do, and gave us a very (very) good price. When we went to pick up the SUV we were completely amazed. The level of detail and workmanship were great. The shop did more work than they'd bargained for because Gary and his crew are proud of their work. The attention to detail was amazing even though we'd asked for a "budget" paint job. And Gary spent time with us each time we went to the shop despite being super busy. He's definitely a car guy - a former race car driver who loves everything automotive. He's a real craftsman. And I'm blanking on the name of the wonderful painter who took care of us as well. He was helpful in making sure we got the exact paint code we were looking for. I'm a really crappy photographer, but here are a couple of quick driveway shots to this review. (I wish I had "before" shots to add but we didn't take any). I can't recommend Gary and Hobart highly enough. Trustworthy guys who love what they do. And they do it well!

Brought my 2005 Honda Element to these guys a few months back, strictly because it was the closest AAA affiliated garage to my place, but couldn't be happier with the job the did. My clutch had gone out, and they were on the outer edge of my towing limit, but we got it there. Not only did they do a great job, but they also made it economical as possible. To top it off, just a few days ago, I thought my clutch had gone out again, and I called them to see if it was under warranty. They told me it would be, and I had it towed back to them again. Turned out that just a spring to my clutch pedal had failed and not the clutch, and therefore it wasn't something that would be covered, but they replaced it anyway at no charge since it was something they should've caught the first time around. I'll be bringing my car here for any other repairs I may need, that's for sure.

Had two small scratches and dents on the tailgate, Gary gave me the best price among the few places I asked for a quote. The job was done in a timely and professional manner. My truck was even cleaned and detailed on the day of pick-up. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for body repair.

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.

Came across this place on yelp.Never been, but glad I found them. Gary was awesome! He's trustworthy & honest. Super quick to respond. Definitely reasonably priced & their turnaround time is so quick. it was like my accident never happened. Their works speaks for itself. My car looks better now than it did before. The paint match is spot on. I highly recommend coming here for all your body work. I most certainly will, & I will be recommending them to everyone I know.

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.

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!!
