Why Call Onik? Here is what our customers had to say about it. Karina Garcia I went by with a basic question regarding some scratches on my mirror and was directed to a man named Onik. After telling him my story of how I got the scratches on the mirror. He said no problem and that it pretty much wasn’t worth the paperwork and had his guy buff out the scratches immediately. It took him 5 min. Onik, merci! for still being in touch with your humanity! Mengtong Duan Onik is truly a man of character. Rest assured that once you shake hands, you will be taken care of. When dealing with insurance I felt safe that Onik was on my side. Daved B Superior service lives here So I met Onik and I gotta say he looked at my damaged door and invited me in to go over the estimate. He’s a throwback to a time where people gave a damn and cared about the person, the problem and finding a solution. I dropped off my car a day late and would you believe, the parts had already been delivered. The car was finished promptly it looks showroom perfect, everything inside and out. It’s almost like a throwback of service and doing the job right. The communication was great cant ask for anything more. Its been a pleasure doing business here. Daniel Noell I was in an accident, needed an assessment and this was the only place open near me. The owner, Onik, was there alone on his weekend. Volunteering his free time to help people like me. He had been doing this 18 years he said. He is very kind and light-hearted elderly gentleman. And his passion for his business is something to admire.

Automotive Refinish is the sience
Hilton Auto Collision Center transforms graffiti problem into a community landmark
Igor Frank, owner of Hilton Auto Collision Center, had spent decades building his business in Pasadena. The shop was known for its precision repairs, its clean lines of freshly painted cars gleaming in the California sun, and Igor’s reputation as someone who treated customers like family. But as the years passed, Igor realized it was time to expand. Opportunity called on Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles, where the traffic was heavier, the clientele broader, and the business potential greater.
The move, however, wasn’t smooth. Within days of settling into the new Los Angeles location, Igor arrived one morning to find graffiti scrawled across the side of his freshly painted building. Tags covered the crisp white wall like scars, and Igor felt a knot in his stomach. He had worked too hard to let crime define his shop.
Instead of reacting with anger, Igor came up with an idea. If people were going to paint on his walls, why not make it art worth protecting? He called a local muralist and commissioned a piece that would speak to the community.
Soon, a breathtaking mural began to take shape: Kobe Bryant, immortalized in purple and gold, his determined gaze stretching across the wall. Next to him, a tribute to Igor’s world—the Batmobile, painted in sleek detail, as if roaring down Venice Boulevard itself. The mural wasn’t just art; it was a declaration that the shop was part of the neighborhood.
Something shifted. The same community that had turned its back now came to admire the mural. Neighbors stopped by to take photos, customers posed with their cars in front of Kobe’s image, and even the graffiti writers showed a new kind of respect. The tags disappeared, replaced with pride.
For Igor Frank, the move from Pasadena to Los Angeles had started with challenges, but with creativity and persistence, Hilton Auto Collision Center became more than a repair shop—it became a landmark998!

Four Stage Paint Process
“How many coats of paint are you going to put on my Chevy?” With recent advancements of automotive refinish technology that old question has become obsolete… until now! 2015 Lexus RC coupe unveils new four-coat paint process.
A look at self driving vehicles
Imagine all the possibilities. Imagine self driving automobiles taking care of our senior citizens. Still, for me it is a scary thought to allow computer to operate my automobile. It is a revolutionary idea. However consider that 95% of all accidents on our roads are due to human error. If computer can reduce that number in half it will free up our roads and will take a lot less time for our commute. It will also free up some of our time since during our commute we will have the opportunity to catch up on our phone calls or reading the news.
Things you should know about Tesla
Twenty first century Tesla drivers are a new breed of luxury vehicle owners. They are just as obsessed with their automobiles as Porsche or corvette owners. Only you will not hear them talk about the size of the engine or how fast it will rip from zero to sixty seconds. Usually you will be taken aside to learn in confidence about one of the many wonderful features prized Tesla offers.
Virtual versus mobile estimating
More and more I get requests from our customers for repair estimates for their vehicles to be made just from photographs that are sent via email or text from their phones. A trip to the local body shop to get an estimate on minor repair to the vehicle takes time. Time is money. Why not get an idea of what it would cost from the photos? Isn’t that one of the reasons they invented a smart phone?
All New Corvette Stingray exceeds expectations
As a kid I remember dreaming about 1967 Stingray 427 convertible. The iconic muscle car held a mystique of a fairy tale for me. As a young adult I was less than impressed with 1980 Stingray, specifically its steering and suspension. But today’s all new Stingray hugs the road as if it was made to do just that and the control you feel making sharp mountainous turns is very impressive.
Can independent body shops coexist with huge consolidators?
Large corporations and huge consolidators have been buying smaller shops all over the country for the past several decades. It is a trend that has been picking up speed with intermittent success.
