Over 80 years in the making, our family owned and operated auto body shop has served Medford, Boston, and the surrounding areas since 1938. No repair is too small or too complex for the team here at Hogan & Van Auto Body. We have an extensive list of certified collision repair services and it's our top priority to ensure a safe ride every time you start the engine.
One of the most valuable lessons we've learned is that insurers are not repairers. Unlike an insurance adjuster or appraiser, every technician and repair planner executes repairs on a daily basis, is I-CAR trained and has mastered OEM repair procedures that protect your car's safety and integrity.

In an industry where you may feel no one is looking out for you and your vehicle, you know your insurance company isn't, we've been your trusted advocate and advisor for the past eight decades and counting. We're family owned and operated so unlike the big box stores, franchises and insurance carriers, we always have your best interests in mind.
Accidents happen no matter what time of day it is, and even though our shop isn't open 24/7, that doesn't mean we can't still help you! Is your vehicle still under warranty? Some manufacturers offer free towing to our shop as well as other great accident resources. See below for our list of OEM towing options.
We're curious, eager to learn, and always ready to tackle the next challenge that comes to our local body shop. Thanks to our lifelong dedication to excellence and love for the job that we do, we have earned many certifications that set us apart in the industry. But these certifications are so much more than professional recognition.
At Hogan & Van Auto Body we're proud of our achievements and our long legacy of family values, but we consider customer satisfaction to be our greatest family accomplishment. We're grateful to our Medford community for supporting our business for over eighty years. After all, it's because of your smile and your peace of mind that we happily open our doors every day.
Some of our clients meet us on their worst days after an accident, while others come to us with minor dings and dents. We treat them all as members of our own family, and we do our best to send them home with a smile on their face - care and worry-free. What makes us a true family is that we'll stand by your side through the worst of those stressful times, and always here to help through the best of them.

Hogan and Van Auto Body exceeded my expectations with my recent service. From my very first phone call with Deidre, who was warm and welcoming to my consultation with George, who examined my vehicle's damage and assured me it could easily be repaired to Adam, who communicated the timeline and my out of pocket expense, I was absolutely delighted by their level of professionalism and customer service. In an era where it's seems no one does their job anymore, this was a refreshing change. They take pride in their work and it shows. I am grateful to have my car back better than new and can't thank

I was referred to Hogan & Van by the Boston Volvo dealer to complete the repairs to my vehicle following an accident. I can not say enough good things about Hogan & Van! They were incredibly professional, thorough, and accommodating over the 3+ weeks it took to repair my vehicle. Someone was always there to pick up the phone by the 2nd ring and answered all of my questions, no many how many times I called for an update on timing. The team was extremely thorough and made sure my car was returned as good as new. I would 100% recommend this shop to anybody and wouldn't hesitate to return in the future

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Got a tap on the front part of my Subaru in the garage, and my friend found this shop for me. Went through insurance and very happy with the service. They set the expectation on how long it takes to order the parts and how soon things can be replaced. This would be my go to place (instead of the dealer) going forward~~

I don't normally write review but I have to say that Hogan & Van service was very professional. My car was replaced with a new bumper and all the work was done beautifully. They even helped cleaning my car. Not to mention the staffs are friendly and always keep me posted on the progress of repairs. They also helped me to submit all the claims to my insurance, I just need to pay for my deductible. I'd highly recommend Hogan & Van to all my friends.

Absolutely bring your car here!! I totally destroyed my front bumper on a root sticking out of the ground and part of my bumper came completely off. I looked for a local place on Google with good reviews and found Hogan had amazing reviews and has been in business for a long time so I called and they got me right in. The people there were professional, friendly, honest and knowledgeable. The manager George explained everything to me, showed me exactly what they would do and gave me a quote. They fixed my car in a day and it looks as good as new. They charged me for exactly what they quoted me and

I went in to Hogan & Van after my car was rear-ended and it was making a loud noise coming from the exhaust after the accident. They replaced my rear bumper and the noise went away for about 6 weeks. When the screeching exhaust noise came back I called them to see if they could look at it again. They said that there is an additional issue with my exhaust system and that all they did was replace the rear bumper. I was never told about the additional issues when I went to pick up my car so I assumed everything was fine. This lack of communication was very upsetting and now I will have to take my

The team at Hogan & Van is fantastic. My car was mistakenly brought to their site and left at the curb by a less-than-stellar tow company. Hogan took the time to locate my vehicle, evaluated it, resolved several issues with the tow crew, and kept me updated every few hours. I can't speak to their body work, but if it is anything close to the level of their customer service, then Hogan & Van gets an A+.

Recently had my Yukon Denali in for bumper repair and very happy with the quality of work and customer service at Hogan & Van. The staff was easy to work with and the work that was done on the car was top notch - and I got my car back earlier than promised! They went over the details of what was done and good to know that they used all genuine GM parts. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking to have any work done.

Hogan and Van are the Best there is ! I had an unfortunate accident with my vehicle and they made the whole process extremely less painful. They assisted getting my car towed there/dealing with my insurance company/Ultimately making my car new again. Everyone there is Great !! The communication during the process is outstanding as is their workmanship. They really take pride in their work and customer service. Thank You H and V for making my car flawless. I wouldn't take it anywhere else.

Took my Honda CRV for repair at Hogan & Van after a rare ended accident. After the repairs i realized what a horrible job the team had done for the repairs. The car was returned with damage and i had to take it back for repairs. The team did not take the responsibility for the damage and asked me pay additional charges as to fix the damage. The body shop did not provide bills in the proper format and came back asking for more money as my insurance company was not ready to accept the bills in their format.
would not recommend anyone using Hogan and Van for Honda repairs.

I can't say enough positive things about Hogan Van & Auto. I recently had my Jeep appraised for some damage which occurred as a result of a shopping cart ramming into the front grill of my vehicle. Adam, Dee and George were consummate professionals during the process. Each of them were very communicative, followed through with estimated time of repairs, and it was ready exactly when they promised, they also explained each item of the damage thoroughly to me. They assisted with some additional information which my insurance adjuster needed. Finally, they washed and cleaned the inside

I really have nothing to compare them to. This is the first time in my life having autobody work done. I was in 2 separate accidents a few months apart and ended up finding Hogan and Van as a certified Nissan collision Center. the Nissan dealership next door doesnt even do autobody. They were very highly rated and close by so I went to them. I had 2 accidents and extensive work needed, plus it was through 2 different insurance companies so equally a mess. They handled everything easily and smoothly. It was professional, polite and quick to drop my car off and pick it up. The work took some time

Was looking for a place to help fix up some minor body issues with my front bumper and some issues with my plates. The guys were extremely professional and great to work with. No nonsense and just got the job done.
There is a minimum charge of $60, which is tough, but worked with me to bundle things in since the work I needed done was very minor.
Overall, I've been very satisfied with this place, and is now my go to for any car body issues I might have. Great place!

These guys are pros. I had a tar on paint issue years ago that involved wet tar covering the entire body of a sedan that they got off without an issue. Easily surpassed all expectations I had for salvaging the paint on that sedan.
5 weeks ago, I got rear ended by some idiot on the Zakim, and Hogan and Van did a miraculous job fixing the rear end and subframe of my Pathfinder. The car looks better than when I drove it off the dealership lot 3 years ago.
I can't say enough about these guys. Very happy to recommend anyone to them.

A year after repairs, the paint never really matched to begin with but I figured who cares it's just a pick up truck I hardly use.. Now the paint is falling off, there is a crack in the filler they used.. The Quality at this shop has just gone down, my neighbor also had a truck repaired here and he had to bring it back to fix an awful paint job.. Not happy with this place don't bring your vehicle here if you care about it ..

I left my car with them on a whim after my car was hit by a plow, primarily because they were within 5 minutes of my house. It could not have been a better choice! Despite having a full schedule, they were great about keeping me updated and ultimately did great work on my car.
I would highly recommend them.

Can't say enough good things about this place. They were super easy and pleasant to work to with and my car looks fantastic after having been hit by tractor. They worked with the insurance company regarding how much it would cost, I didn't have to go back and forth with them at all. Definitely would go there again (though hopefully I don't have to).

I can't believe it took me this long to write H&V a review!
My car got hit last year, and I was overwhelmed by the situation. I'm pretty sure I was told about this place by my insurance company, but I also had seen it a ton of times as I pulled into Atlas LQ next door.
I called, spoke to one of the guys in the office. Dropped my car off, and was kept up to date with calls from the same guy- Adam? - I'd spoken to originally.
They kept a realistic time line for me for the repairs, I got myself a rental for the duration ( a week ) and when it was all ready, I went to pick it
