body shop

Collision repair facility

A body shop is a garage or workshop that specializes in repairing damage to vehicle exteriors—dents, scratches, collision damage, and rust.

The work typically involves reshaping metal panels, replacing parts, and repainting.

After the fender bender, I took my car to the body shop for an estimate.

In slang usage, body shop can refer disparagingly to an employment agency that treats workers as interchangeable commodities, or to a gym focused on physique.
