GEICO Collision Repair in Hawthorne, CA
GEICO claim repairs at a family-owned shop in Hawthorne
The Body Shop Collision Repair sits at 12911 Cerise Ave in Hawthorne, a few minutes from the 405 and LAX. We are a family-owned shop and we accept every insurance company, GEICO among them. What that means in practice: you drive in with a claim number, we take it from there - estimate, photos, adjuster, supplements, repair.
Step by step: a GEICO claim from report to pick-up
- Report the accident. Open the claim through the GEICO Mobile app, on geico.com, or by calling the claims number on your insurance card. Keep the claim number handy.
- Free estimate at our shop. Walk in during business hours - no appointment. We put the car on the lift where needed and photograph every damaged area, including what is hidden behind bumper covers and fender liners.
- Estimate goes to GEICO. We submit the written estimate with the photo set under your claim number.
- Adjuster review. GEICO may inspect the car here or work from photos. If the first approval does not cover the real repair, we file a supplement with evidence rather than shortcut the job.
- Repair. Panel work, parts replacement, paint and refinishing, reassembly, final inspection.
- Pick-up. You pay the deductible; GEICO pays the approved balance.

Choosing your own shop in California
The repair shop is your decision, not the insurer’s. GEICO can point you to a shop in its network, but you are entitled to have the car fixed where you want and the claim still goes through. Call (323) 661-6600 if you want us to explain how it works for your policy.

GEICO claim questions our customers ask
Can I choose my own body shop for a GEICO claim in California?
Yes. California leaves the choice of repair facility to the vehicle owner. GEICO may recommend a shop from its network, but you can bring the car to The Body Shop Collision Repair in Hawthorne and the claim is still processed.
Do you accept GEICO insurance?
We accept all insurance companies, GEICO included. Bring the claim number and we handle the estimate, the photos and the conversation with your adjuster.
How much does an estimate cost?
Nothing. Estimates are free and you are not obliged to have the repair done here afterwards.
GEICO approved less than the repair needs. What now?
We prepare a supplement: additional photos, part numbers and a written explanation go to the adjuster for extra approval before that work starts.
Who pays the deductible?
You pay your deductible to the shop when you pick the car up. GEICO pays the approved balance of the repair.
How long will my car be in the shop?
It depends on the damage, part availability and how quickly the adjuster signs off. Scratches, small dents and bumper work usually take a few days; heavier collision damage takes longer. We give you a date once the estimate is approved.
Do I need an appointment for the estimate?
No. Drive in during business hours: Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM, Saturday 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Sunday 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
Do you handle motorcycle claims?
Yes. We repair cars and motorcycles.
