Auto Body Shop for Torrance, CA
Auto body shop for Torrance — straight up Hawthorne Boulevard
The Body Shop Collision Repair is a family-owned shop at 12911 Cerise Ave in Hawthorne, four to eight miles from most of Torrance depending on whether you start in Old Torrance, West Torrance or the Del Amo area. Hawthorne Boulevard and Crenshaw Boulevard both run north to us. We repair cars and motorcycles, we accept all insurance companies, and the estimate is free.
Damage we see most often on Torrance cars
Torrance drives a lot of miles on wide, busy boulevards, and the damage reflects that. Rear-end hits at the long signal cycles on Hawthorne Boulevard and Crenshaw, side-swipes from lane changes near the 405 ramps, and a steady stream of parking damage from the Del Amo Fashion Center lots and structures — opened doors, trolley strikes, scraped bumper corners. Add shopping-centre hit-and-runs where the other driver never leaves a note, and a good part of our Torrance work is turning cosmetic damage back into a clean panel.
