Our History
San Pedro Auto Body was started in 1983 by the husband and wife team of Dennis and Mary Anne Howell. They met each other in the industry, and after getting married, they decided to move to San Pedro to start a humble collision repair business of their own. Since then, they have been recognized in the industry as one of the premier shops. Among many accomplishments within the industry, the shop has grown from its humble roots of just 5,000 sq. ft. to over 25,000 sq. ft. and growing. During that time, they still keep the same quality and customer service.
Since 1989, they have worked with American Honda Motor Co. in Torrance, California, repairing anything from company cars and cars damaged by rails and ships to project cars. Currently, they are a direct repair facility for Auto Club and Mercury Insurance, as well as work with any other insurance company.
The shop has become a part of San Pedro’s family and will continue to strive and grow with the help of its excellent team and great customers like you!
