Avenue Auto Body

This place is amazing! So glad I found them online. Got into my first little fender bender today (not at fault) and the guy wished to not go through his insurance so I was a little freaked out to go this route but was told by my insurance to maybe just take it to get checked out first to see if its worth going through insurance or not. I was worried about taking my car into a body shop and possibly being taken advantage of but found this place online and they had great reviews so thought I would check it out. I went in and had Troy take a look at my car, he snapped a piece of my bumper back into place and took care of the exhaust pipe (I think thats the part) securing it back into place, all free of charge just for coming to them. I was so happy, and the guy who ran into me I’m sure is even more happy. Told all my coworkers about this place, we all said we will be going here from now on for any car problems in the future. Thank you Troy!

I’m very happy I found this place. I’ve had my car worked on twice now at Avenue Auto Body. Everyone is very professional. If you are paying out of pocket I felt their estimates were reasonable and they do amazing work. I just recently dealt with Troy on my last repair and thought he was great. I won’t take my car anywhere else.

Great service! Fantastic work! These guys went above and beyond, I couldn’t below the job they did. My truck looked brand new. I’d love to see what they’d do with an old muscle car restoration! A+ guys!!!

Absolutely the best, hands down. Give these guys a try! I’ve gone to all the big collision centers in the area for various cars over the years and none even compare to these guys. Locally owned and do much better work than Prestige or Caliber.
I’d trust these guys with a 57 Chevy or a 2016 Lambo.

My husband went there today after going to Prestige Auto Body shop to fix the bumper after brushing hard against some plant bushes in our driveway (Prestige quoted $ 850)…Avenue fixed it in 10 minutes and no charge! They did his Vette prior to selling it also… good price on that one too!
He’s very impressed and we will make sure to recommend to friends!!!

A really stupid driveway incident resulted in significant damage to both of our cars, a 2008 Accord V6 sedan and a 2015 CR-​V with only 3000 miles on the clock (told you it was stupid). Panels on both required replacement and both cars were finished with pearlescent paint, difficult to match, especially the Accord’s White Diamond Pearl. We also were not reporting to the insurance (stupid, remember?) so price was a concern as was the shop’s willingness to use parts I supplied, including a few non-​OE custom parts I’d previously purchased for the Accord.
We got several estimates. While Avenue wasn’t the least expensive, they were far from the highest and accepted my «own parts» request without hesitation. They were also only about a mile from our Redondo Beach home, an added bonus.
The CR-​V was completed first and after replacing the driver door panel, and front fender, straightening the A-​pillar and repairing and refinishing the rear bumper, the car was like new. Panel alignment was good and the color match was absolutely perfect.
The Accord was next. Right quarter panel, front and rear bumper covers were replaced along with custom headlamps, upper and lower front grilles and rear taillamps. Once again, the panel fit was spot on as was the paint finish and color match. Avenue’s paint man really is a Rembrandt!
Throughout several weeks of contact, the entire staff was both friendly and professional. I did not hesitate to give Avenue a 5 star rating… they deserve it! And, a special thanks to Troy, Avenue’s manager, and Brian, for making a lousy situation not exactly fun but a least tolerable!

These guys do a great job, and definitely deliver on customer service. I had a bumper replaced and painted in only a few days. And they buffed out and painted some of my other unrelated scratches for free. I felt the cost was reasonable, and worked seamlessly with my insurance company. They handled the paperwork and repaired my car very professionally.

Like virtually all the previous reviews, I found this place to be outstanding, all the way around. From the quality of their work, to their customer service and timely repairs, they did a wonderful job fixing my Ford Raptor after a minor traffic accident. They even fixed and restored various items on my truck that had nothing to do with the accident. Troy and the rest of the staff there were top notch. I am recommending this place to all my friends, and I am very pleased to have finally found an honest and quality autobody repair shop after all these years.

Best service that I possibility could have had! I found them on Unilocal.I wasn’t going to take my Mercedes into the dealer knowing that I would pay a lot more. I talked to Troy over the phone first before bringing my car in. I liked what he had to say. He even suggested a rental car agency too, that they work with. There customer service, and work is excellent. Troy gave me a great price. They even washed my car, and filled my tires. I left my rental car there, and they made arrangements for it to be picked. What Service!

Great experience every time! They really care about their customers and, quality of work. Great service and prices overall.

Best customer service I’ve ever received in car maintenance/​auto body industry. Staff is unbelievably helpful and friendly. They gave me a fair quote and did exceptional work on my car. Definitely going to be a returning customer and suggest anyone who needs body work to come here. 5 stars doesn’t give them justice because they deserve 10 stars plus some. I thank them and will be back.

There is a very simple reason these guys have a perfect score from all customers: They excel in every facet of their business. I rarely write any reviews on Unilocal,but this is my second for Avenue Auto Body. This time, not only did I receive the highest quality at a cost which was less than half of my other bid, but they repaired other body damage (having nothing to do with my accident) at no charge. And, as usual, it was ready early.

I brought my car into the Avenue body shop cause my neighbor crashed into my car. Troy did an amazing job and took care of everything. My car looks brand new after they fixed the bumper and painted it. They gave great customer service. Thanks for the great service! :)

Sometimes it just works out. I blew out the back window and dented in rear door of my Scion XB. backed into our garage wall with a bicycle rack attached, yes takes all kinds. Well after checking prices on Craigs list, Ebay and local parts shop started comparing costs for a local body shop to do work.
Avenue Auto Body is right in our neighborhood and couple friends have had work done there. Stopped by after work Brian took several minutes going over options, they were first body shop that mentioned a used door. He had a quote to me first thing in the morning. Then I compared to installing new door, getting the part myself and taking to mechanic to have installed, and having another color door installed and having it pained, the Avenue option was 30% less. I got them the deposit and they had the part the next day. They were able to install same day it came and admitted the car door I got was in exceptional condition.
They did it all and I am very grateful, for a most wonderful experience to a very expensive mistake.

Steve and Bruce are the best. Very professional and honest. Completely happy with the service they provided. Would not hesitate to use them again, and would definitely refer to family and friends

Brian is the man. Gave a really honest opinion and 2 options, 1 of which was no-​charge polish. In today’s day and age that kind of honesty is non-​existent elsewhere.

I have been on a long vacation from Unilocaling, but I had to come back to leave a little note on this hidden gem of the auto service industry right in my home town.
Just like most of you poor things, I have been ripped off, cheated and disappointed by body shops everywhere over and over. So when I got a fender bender recently, I sighed and reluctantly started Unilocaling for yet another body shop who most likely would rip me off yet another time on their yet another mediocre job.
I was wrong. Boy, so wrong was I.
We started our quote trek with the closest shop, which was Avenue. I met Brian there and he was right on the quote. When I asked him to include a thin scratch line on the paint overcoat which I probably got from a shopping cart, he goes, «Oh, I can fix that right now.» And, Voilà, there it was! His quote was ready in 10 minutes and it was within the range I had hoped it would be in.
We left for a few more quotes, but I already knew we had met our match. We were back at Avenue in 30 minutes and our car was in their hands.
They promised to give me back the car in three days at the latest; I got a call it was ready the next afternoon. The job was perfect — our car was as good as new again. It even came back with a long-​due cleaning, inside out!
So this is our experience with Avenue. So efficient, friendly and professional, plus affordable. I join the rest of the Unilocalers in Unilocaling, «Avenue Rocks!’

Got in a fender bender — not my fault — so had to deal with the at fault insurance for the claim… got my estimate and started to search the South Bay for reputable shops. took it in to a few shops searched on Unilocal*and just felt comfortable from the start when I hooked up with Troy at Avenue. Didn’t get that sleazy feel that I got from other shops that I visited.
Troy explained the whole process and worked with the insurance to get any needed supplement for the bumper (minimal). Since I had the car in the shop — decided to get my rear side door panel (my fault) repaired. Estimate was moderate to fair (compared to other estimates I received– there is no exact science to these things).
Also they were able to line me up with a rental for pick up and drop off with Hertz.
Like all the other reviews. Great Service — courteous and they informed me along the way the progress and they promised the car as they predicted. A lil hiccup along the way but Troy was able to explain over the phone and pics via email help iron out the lil wrinkles. All in all a great experience with a reputable shop (how often can you say that?)
Repair and paint job was phenomenal — just like new.

Unfortunately, My car was declared as a total loss, I couldn’t get a chance to see how they work but I am pretty sure, if they would have gotten a chance to fix the car… they would have have been worked just fine…
Brian is the man there. He was really very helpful through out the whole insurance thing and everything… Not only that, Since I was on vacation for a few days after my car was declared as a total loss, upon request, they kept my car in their auto body shop for additional 4 days without charging for a storage… that was great…
These guys are very understanding and beating the complete industry standard…
I loved the way I was treated… even when I was upset with the decision and the insurance guys sluggish work…
Totally Five star service and treatment…

Dear Avenue Auto Body,
Thank you so much for saving my precious Infiniti G35. If it weren’t for you, my car wouldn’t be looking as fly as when I first got her. In fact, I think she shines even brighter since I’ve gotten her back. Karen, at the front desk, answered all my questions and calmed my nerves. When we were thinking of places to go, the owner, Steve Hornbeck, automatically came into my mom’s head, even though he had worked on her car 15 years earlier. Really, you’re a trustworthy body shop that provides excellent service.
Hopefully, I won’t need to take my baby back in any time soon. But if I do, at least I know she will come back to me looking as good as new and I’ll get great service.
With LOVE,
Nicole
