Auto Body Shop for Palos Verdes, CA
Auto body shop for Palos Verdes — one road, straight up Hawthorne Boulevard
The Body Shop Collision Repair is a family-owned shop at 12911 Cerise Ave in Hawthorne. Hawthorne Boulevard runs from the Peninsula straight to our end of town, so from Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates or Palos Verdes Estates it is one road and about twenty to twenty-five minutes. We repair cars and motorcycles, we accept all insurance companies, and the estimate is free.
Damage we see most often on Palos Verdes cars
The Peninsula is hard on the lower half of a car. Steep switchbacks and short, angled driveways scrape front lips and undertrays; narrow canyon lanes with no shoulder produce kerb rash and gouged rocker panels; and long private driveways with stone gate posts account for a surprising number of mirror and quarter-panel repairs. Along Palos Verdes Drive the loose surface throws grit at the front end, so bonnets and bumpers arrive stippled with chips. Higher up, wind-driven salt air keeps working on any of those chips that were left open.

Palos Verdes customers ask
Do you serve the Palos Verdes Peninsula?

How far is the shop from Palos Verdes?
Ten to twelve miles from most of the Peninsula, usually twenty to twenty-five minutes straight up Hawthorne Boulevard to El Segundo Boulevard.

Do you work with my insurance company?
We accept all insurance companies. We write the estimate, send the photos, speak with the adjuster and file a supplement if hidden damage appears during disassembly.
My insurer recommended a shop from its network. Can I still bring the car to you?
Yes. In California the choice of repair facility belongs to the vehicle owner. The insurer can recommend, but the decision is yours and your claim stays valid.
The paint on my car is a special order colour. Can you match it?
We match to the car rather than to the code alone, and we blend into the neighbouring panels so the repair does not sit as a patch. Bring it in and we will show you what the match will look like.
Can you arrange towing from the Peninsula?
