Auto Body Shop for Manhattan Beach, CA
Auto body shop near Manhattan Beach — about four miles from the pier
The Body Shop Collision Repair is a family-owned shop on Cerise Avenue in Hawthorne, roughly four miles inland from the Manhattan Beach Pier. Most Manhattan Beach customers reach us in ten to fifteen minutes, so you can leave the car in the morning and still make the school run or a meeting in El Segundo. We repair cars and motorcycles, we accept all insurance companies, and the estimate is free.
Damage we see most often on Manhattan Beach cars
Parking does most of the harm here. Column scrapes and torn bumper corners from the Manhattan Village structures, door dings from the beach lots west of Highland Avenue, mirror and quarter-panel scuffs from the narrow alleys of the Sand Section, and low-speed rear-end hits in the Sepulveda Boulevard stop-and-go. Add constant salt air and any chip left open on a panel edge starts lifting the paint, which is why we seal and blend rather than patch.
What we do for Manhattan Beach drivers
- Collision repair after front, rear and side impacts
- Panel and body work on cars and motorcycles
- Car painting and colour matching, including full resprays
- Dent removal and paintless dent repair (PDR)
- Scratch and scuff repair
- Bumper and fender repair or replacement
- Insurance claims assistance, damage photos and supplements
- Towing arranged through a third-party partner
Getting here from Manhattan Beach
From downtown Manhattan Beach take Manhattan Beach Boulevard or Rosecrans Avenue east to Inglewood Avenue, then north to El Segundo Boulevard and east to Cerise Avenue. From the north end of town, Aviation Boulevard up to El Segundo Boulevard is just as quick. There is off-street space to leave the car, and we can meet you at the gate if you are dropping keys before work.
Insurance claims for Manhattan Beach customers

Manhattan Beach customers ask
Do you serve Manhattan Beach?
Yes. Manhattan Beach is one of our closest neighbourhoods. The shop sits at 12911 Cerise Ave in Hawthorne, about four miles east of the pier, and a large share of our work comes from the Beach Cities.
How long does it take to get to you from Manhattan Beach?
Ten to fifteen minutes outside rush hour. Manhattan Beach Boulevard or Rosecrans Avenue east, then Inglewood or Aviation Boulevard north to El Segundo Boulevard.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Bring the car in, or send photos first, and we will look at the damage and explain what the repair involves at no charge.
Do you work with my insurance company?
We accept all insurance companies. We prepare the estimate, send the photos, talk to the adjuster and handle supplements if extra damage appears once the panels come off.
My insurer told me to use its own network shop. Can I still come to you?
Yes. In California the choice of repair facility belongs to the vehicle owner. Your insurer can recommend a shop, but the decision is yours and your claim stays valid.
Can you arrange towing from Manhattan Beach?
Yes. Towing is arranged through a third-party partner. Call (323) 661-6600 and we will organise the pick-up, including after hours.
How long will my repair take?
It depends on the damage and on parts availability. A bumper scuff or a small dent is usually a couple of days; a larger collision repair with paint takes longer. We give you a realistic date once we have seen the car.
Do you repair motorcycles as well as cars?
Yes. We work on both cars and motorcycles, including paint and panel repair.
Still not sure? Call (323) 661-6600 or email 711body@gmail.com and we will tell you straight away what the repair involves.
