About Us
Your Westside Neighbor Since 1979.
Waters Auto Body is a family-owned and operated collision repair shop serving Los Angeles from our longtime home on National Boulevard.
We’ve been around long enough to know that people rarely walk into a body shop because they’re having a good day.
That’s why the way we treat customers matters just as much as the work we do on their cars.
Our approach has remained straightforward for more than four decades: listen, give people an honest assessment, charge fairly, communicate clearly and take pride in the finished repair.
It’s a simple way of doing business, but it’s the reason so many Waters customers have trusted us with multiple cars over the years — and why so much of our business continues to come from referrals.
Meet Jim
Owner-Led. Customer-Focused.
Jim Bjelajac and the Waters team have built a reputation across the Westside for something increasingly hard to find: a body shop customers genuinely trust.
Jim remains directly involved with customers and repairs, from assessing damage and explaining options to helping navigate insurance questions and making sure the finished work meets Waters’ standards.
Read through our reviews and his name comes up again and again.
That’s not an accident.
Personal accountability is part of how Waters does business.
