Citizen Collision

Caro the mecanic is a an expert with cars, he fixed my car very fast and he did such a good job. The manager Yuri does a great customer service, very kind. I recommend this place 100%. I’m definitely coming back to this car body shop. I’m also recommending all of my friends to come to this place. Best auto shop in LA!

I don’t often write reviews, this place seriously is the best and I will only be coming back here for auto work. They handle body work, regular maintenance issues and tires.
This morning as I was driving to work, my check engine light came on and started blinking (I know this is code for «stop driving now, something is very wrong). My car started rattling and I could tell my engine was misfiring. I pulled into Citizen Collision because they were close and highly rated on Unilocal.I explained what was going on and the mechanic diagnosed the check engine light for free and started work. Turns out one of my spark plugs was gone and the engine coil had suffered damage as a result. I got four spark plugs replaced and an engine coil in less than an hour and cost $ 125. The owner was so nice and drove me to my bank so I could get money from the ATM while the work was being done (I only had my ATM card on me at the time, doh!)
Before I left, they noticed a rear brake light bulb was also blown and they replaced it for free in two minutes.
These guys made my stressful morning so much better, I was so afraid about the cost of the repairs. But they were very straightforward in the estimate and showed me the parts that were damaged and explained the issues.
Thanks, Citizen Collision!

I’m not even going to bother going anywhere else in the future and am recommending this place to family, friends, and anyone else who is smart enough to listen. I had my timing belt changed and had a major maintenance. The quote I got for the timing belt ranged from $ 750 to $ 900 and the maintenance was about $ 350 – 400 (The next cheapest place was Pep Boys at $ 1,100). Citizen Collision did everything for less than $ 700!!! I couldn’t frelling believe it and thought there must be some sort of mistake. When I quizzed him (you’ll check transmission/​brake/​radiator fluid levels? Fuel, Air, Oil filters?), the answer was «Yes. Of course. We will replace everything.»
So, I had taken my car previously to a Midas and gotten an estimate. They said I would need some rear axle arms, my brakes needed to be replaced, etc. and that they would do it for about $ 1,100. I asked the guy at Citizen Collision to give my car a complete checkup and give me a price for everything that was wrong with it and I would bring it in again for repair unless something needed to be done now. When I went in to pick it up, he told me that the arms needed to be replaced and that it was «very expensive». I asked «How expensive?» His reply was $ 300. Midas told me this was about a $ 600 – 700 job. I asked him about my brakes. He said «The brakes are fine.» I said isn’t there SOMETHING else that needs to be done. He said «No. Just arms.» I don’t know quite what to think. I gave this guy every opportunity possible to charge me more money and he just didn’t do it. In any case, I’ll be taking my car back to get this repaired and will bring it to Citizen Collision whenever it needs work done. My profound thanks to Merry Little Devil D. for the referral.
Folks, this is a no-​brainer.

Hands down the most honest and reliable mechanics in this crazy city. Was recommended to come here by a family friend who had worked with the owner for twenty years. Trust me, I did an enormous amount of shopping around and getting estimates and these guys gave me the best price. I replaced my timing belt for $ 150 (bought my own part), whereas literally everyone else was quoting me $ 500 – 600 just for labor! Although I’m a girl, I am an informed consumer ;)

The best in Los Angeles. Honest about he work that is needed, reasonable prices, they do great work, they show you exactly what is being done, hard working group of people.
I have been taking my cars her a number of times and believe in them. The manager is very kind and caring, he takes care of his customers. It’s a very busy shop and they are not out to make a quick buck on the client’s account.
They do great work on my Toyota Prius and changed my batter for under $ 1,000.
Try them!!!

These guys are the best in town! They don’t kill you with the price, don’t lie to get your work done. Even that they work on taxis, they know better than anybody else, they did a wonderful job with my cars. It’s worth trying them, because they use good parts and not full of BS. Honesty, fast service and a friendly way to treat you, are the best signature on these wonderful guys!
For me, without a doubt, the best kept secret in town!

Nice shop. Yuri i suppose his name is very gentle and knows the work and problem you want to explain him. He did good service on my car and charged reasonably which other quoted hundreds for the same work.

This place is amazing! I have never written a reveiew before but I owe it to these guys as a thank you! I have been there three times because I keep getting rear ended. I’m not sure how my car is bright red but anyway. They do amazing work and never over charge me. I trust them completely. I would recommend this place to anyone and I do. I talk about them to all my friends. As a woman to find a place where you can take your car and not feel like you are getting ripped off is awesome. End of story — GO THERE! They rock :)

I have been coming here to have work done for a long time. They specialize in taxis (so mostly Fords), but do a good job on my 2001 Mitsubishi Galant at reasonable prices. The guys ho work on the car are nice and friendly, I never feel like I’m seeing a seedy mechanic who just wants to rip me off. I’m a girl and don’t know too much about cars, so that always makes me nervous.
