I had a great experience at Cochran Auto Body Repair. I brought my Honda Civic, which was hit on the rear left corner. Peter and Pauline are honest and professional. They provided excellent customer service and ongoing updates throughout the restoration process. Also, they took care of a few scratches to my vehicle at my request. And a bonus was that they washed the car inside out. My car looks like brand new. Everything was smooth and perfect. I appreciate the quality of work the entire crew did. read more

I brought my 2025 Lexus in for some body work on Monday. Another body shop gave me an initial quote of $3100 and then tried to raise it another $900 when I got there. No thanks! I went to Cochran Auto Body and not only did they give me a quote that ended up being $1200 LESS, they did a FANTASTIC job and had my car ready today (Friday) for the weekend! These folks are fast, friendly, and don't give you the normal runaround. PLEASE do yourself a favor and visit Cochran Auto Body for your repair needs! read more

What a great experience! Quick and affordable. Communication and friendly demeanor will make me a repeat user. Hopefully no other need but if it happens. :) read more

Had the best experience here. I've been here twice already and both times have been a great experience. Pauline is friendly and personable. She was extremely helpful and not only gave me advice on how to file a claim with my insurance and clear instructions, but also gave me a great quote. My car came back good as new with a car wash too. The second time I came, it did take a while to get my part from overseas, which wasn't their fault, but wish I would've known my car was going to be in the shop for almost a month! I'd still come back again. They're very communicative, trustworthy and very helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Pauline at Cochran Auto Body on Pico - My Trusted Shop for Years (and Just Saved My Tesla Again!) I've been taking my cars to Pauline at Cochran Auto Body for years and she's the only person I trust. She's fixed my old BMW 3 Series (multiple times), my Infiniti Q50, and already did one perfect repair on my 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD in Midnight Silver Metallic. Every job has been flawless. This latest incident happened at a brush/roller car wash in the Sawtelle area where I have an unlimited membership. A rare malfunction -- the exit got completely jammed, the rollers kept pushing cars forward even though everything was stopped, I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting the car in front of me, and the driver behind me couldn't stop in time and rear-ended me pretty hard. Damage to the rear bumper, passenger-side door, the whole rear quarter panel area below the door, and one rim got bent. Dropped the car off with Pauline and, as always, zero stress. She handled everything with insurance, sourced genuine Tesla parts, perfectly matched the Midnight Silver Metallic paint (which is incredibly difficult), straightened/replaced the rim, and the repair is 100% invisible. You literally can't tell anything ever happened -- paint is perfect, panel gaps spot-on, door closes perfectly, sensors and cameras recalibrated with no issues. Car came back detailed inside and out, and she even touched up a few old rock chips while she was at it. Pauline and her team are honest, fast, fairly priced, and truly care about doing it right. I've trusted her with every car I've owned for years -- BMW, Infiniti, and now my Tesla twice -- and she never disappoints. If you need body work in LA, especially on a Tesla, go straight to Pauline at Cochran Auto Body on Pico. Hands-down the best. Thanks again, Pauline -- you turned a frustrating situation into "better than new." You're the absolute best! read more

My husband had a scratch on the side of his car and we went to two different body shops--both quoted almost $2,000 just to fix a simple scratch. One of my good clients and friends recommended Cochran Auto Body, and I'm so glad we listened! From the moment we walked in, we felt the difference. This is a family-owned business with truly good people. They were honest, kind, and took their time explaining everything. The price was so reasonable, nothing like the other shops. They did an amazing job, and my husband is super happy with the results--his car looks perfect again! It's rare to find a shop that cares about people, not just money. Pauline and the team are the best in West LA, and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs body work, big or small. Thank you for taking care of us! read more

Wow, after having to deal with price-gouging dealers due to a recall, I was so grateful to go to Cochran Auto Body. I am horrible with names but I want to say the the one guy who is always there is super helpful and tries to save you money. He took an hour to search used parts for my Honda Clarity bumper (no luck--the car was only made for 3 years) and then later, did a simple fix for a broken exterior mirror that would have cost ~$1700 plus to replace, but he just replaced the mirror for $140 including parts and all I have to do is manually position the mirror. The right-turn camera still works. Totally honest, wholeheartedly recommended. read more

After fighting with the insurance company for 2 months and finally got the green light to get my car fixed after I was rear ended I was anxious what's going to await me dealing with the car repair process.

Great communication keeping me updated, clear information and expediting the repair after it was delayed to no fault of theirs. Even detailed the car and it was ready to pick up earlier than agreed. I hope I do not need get my car fixed in the future, but if, definitely my go to place now! Thank you so much Pauline & Peter! read more

She was so helpful and communicative, told me the exact steps I needed to take and kept in touch with me throughout the whole process with updates. Very knowledgeable about Teslas too. The car looks brand new. I'm so happy with their work and service! read more

Cochran Auto Body is ace. Pauline and Peter gave the best quote in town, finished the work ahead of time(very fast turn around), and generally made what would be a stressful process straightforward and painless. We had a chunk missing in our bumper that they smoothed out, repainted and finished. Final work was fantastic/looks good as new! Incredible for the price. Already taking next steps to get my other car that i thought was a hopeless fix in there. It's nice to feel like we found out people for this work in town. read more

This is definitely a long overdue review since my family has always gone to Pauline anytime any of us has had an accident. My stepmom previously took her Outback, recently my niece took her Tiguan; I just got my Forrester back and couldn't be happier. Pauline and Peter updated me on adjuster visits, made sure the car was well inspected before approving payouts, they'd give me updates on parts and just made sure I was up to date during the process. Upon receiving the vehicle it looked like I got it off the lot! Clean, shiny and the work was top notch. Even the small scuffs I had before the accident were taken care of. I can't speak on pricing since my insurance covered everything. That said, with many shops in the area, Pauline stands out with her professionalism, customer care and attention to detail. She really takes the time to make sure clients are satisfied! read more

Cochran Auto Body - 2022 Tesla model X - Body Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Cochran Auto Body is an outstanding auto repair location and Pauline is an wonderful person and fantastic at guiding car repair projects to completion. In an industry where there is often misinformation, delays and cost overruns, Cochran is a glowing exception. I have worked with Pauline twice and referred my daughter and son-in-law for their auto damage and she has been consistently on top of the projects, knowledgeable about the intricacies of working with insurance companies, honest, trustworthy and the end results have been excellent. Even the first time we met when my car ultimately had to be declared a total loss after it was severely damaged by a hit-and-run driver she was a huge help with insurance. In each case she walked myself and my family through the process, kept us up to date and delivered quality results. Living in Los Angeles our vehicles get bumps and bruises all the time and I can't recommend Pauline and Cochran Auto Body highly enough when it happens to you... read more

They also happened to be the CHEAPEST option too! Process was seamless, pauline is attentive, the job was perfect and was completed in a timely manner.

The customer service was just as amazing as the body work. Totally recommend! read more

Pauline at Cochran Auto Body did the best job taking care of me! Top tier customer service. They were so helpful after I was upset from getting into a collision, worked with my insurance smoothly and got my car fixed looking better than it was before the collision. And on top of that, washed my car before I picked it up. I will never go to another body shop again, and only plan to use and recommend Cochran Auto Body whenever needed moving forward. Pauline is the best! read more

Their work is consistently outstanding and they are an absolute pleasure to deal with.
