The Body Shop Collision Repair is a family-owned shop at 12911 Cerise Ave in Hawthorne, about five miles inland from Pier Avenue. For most Hermosa Beach customers that is a twelve to fifteen minute drive up Aviation Boulevard. We repair cars and motorcycles, we accept all insurance companies, and the estimate is free.
Hermosa is built on a grid of narrow streets, walk streets and service alleys, and that geometry writes itself onto the paint: long alley scrapes down the flanks, folded mirrors, kerbed wheels and bumper corners lost while reversing out of a single-width garage. Downtown adds the nightlife factor, with valet dings and unexplained dents in the lots off Hermosa Avenue. Then there is the sea air, which turns any untreated stone chip into a rust spot within a season.
Take Pier Avenue or Aviation Boulevard away from the water, then Aviation north to El Segundo Boulevard and east to Cerise Avenue. From the south end of town, Artesia Boulevard east to Hawthorne Boulevard and north works too. There is off-street space to leave the car.
In California the choice of repair facility belongs to the vehicle owner. Your insurer may recommend a shop from its network, but you can bring the car here and your claim stays valid. We accept all insurance companies, take the damage photos, speak with the adjuster and file a supplement if hidden damage shows up during disassembly.
