Auto Body Shop for Westchester and LAX, CA
Auto body shop for Westchester and LAX — four miles down Sepulveda
The Body Shop Collision Repair is a family-owned shop at 12911 Cerise Ave in Hawthorne, about four miles from Westchester and the north side of the airport. For most of Westchester, Kentwood and the Loyola Marymount area that is a ten to fifteen minute drive. We repair cars and motorcycles, we accept all insurance companies, and the estimate is free.
Damage we see most often on Westchester and LAX cars
Living next to an international airport shapes the damage. Terminal loops and the arrivals kerb produce low-speed rear-end hits and torn bumper covers; shuttle buses, rideshare drivers and rental returns crowd the same lanes and take mirrors with them. On Sepulveda Boulevard the tunnel and the long signal cycles add their own share of rear-enders and lane-change side-swipes. Away from the traffic, Westchester is a neighbourhood of narrow driveways and street parking, so door dings, gate-post scrapes and kerbed wheels round out the list, along with student parking damage near Loyola Marymount.

Westchester and LAX customers ask
Do you serve Westchester and the LAX area?
Yes. Westchester sits about four miles north of the shop at 12911 Cerise Ave in Hawthorne, so it is one of the quickest drives we have — usually ten to fifteen minutes.
What is the best route from Westchester?
Sepulveda Boulevard south through the tunnel, then east on El Segundo Boulevard to Cerise Avenue. From the Manchester Avenue side, La Cienega Boulevard south is the alternative.
I damaged a rental car at LAX. Can you help?
We can inspect it and write a proper estimate, but repairs on a rental have to be authorised by the rental company or its insurer. Bring us the paperwork and we will tell you where you stand.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Bring the car in during opening hours or send photos of the damage and we will explain the repair at no charge.
Do you work with my insurance company?
We accept all insurance companies. We prepare the estimate, send the photos, speak with the adjuster and file supplements if hidden damage appears.
My insurer named a shop from its network. Can I choose you instead?
Yes. In California the choice of repair facility belongs to the vehicle owner. The insurer may recommend, but you decide and your claim stays valid.
