Auto Body Shop vs. Auto Repair Shop

There are specific differences between auto body and auto repair shops. Auto body shops address

damage and problems with your car's body, including doors, bumpers, fenders, and the vehicle

frame. However, an auto repair shop is needed if your vehicle has difficulty starting, runs hot,

idles roughly, or displays the check engine light.

What Does an Auto Body Shop Do?

Auto body shops return your vehicle to its pre-collision state. Trained professional technicians

specialize in auto body repairs that restore and enhance your vehicle to a like-new condition.

Auto body shops typically:

- Replace bumpers, fenders, damaged body panels, and other components that are not part

of the engine

- Repair dents and scratches in the sheet metal

- Straighten bent doors, fenders, and frames

- Replace windshields, headlights, taillights, and mirrors

What Does an Auto Repair Shop Do?

Auto repair shops are operated by mechanics who diagnose electrical and mechanical problems.

Certified mechanics repair engines, perform comprehensive tune-ups, and replace parts. Take

your vehicle to an auto repair shop if:

- Your vehicle is experiencing suspension issues-

- Your vehicle is experiencing electrical and software problems

- Your vehicle needs new tires or brakes

- Your vehicle has damaged internal components

- Your vehicle is experiencing issues with the transmission, clutch, axels, and rear

differentials
