Dent, Scratch & Bodywork Specialists Since 1969

Freeway Auto Body has been repairing dents, scratches, rust, and panel damage for Edmonton drivers since 1969. Edmonton is hard on cars. Every winter, road salt is applied, and by April, it’s found on every stone chip on your hood after driving on the Anthony Henday. Add a hailstorm or two in June, plus the door dings common in mall parkades. Most vehicles here pick up damage without ever being in an accident. Here’s the part people underestimate: a chip that looks purely cosmetic exposes bare metal, and bare metal in this climate rusts in a single winter.

What We Repair

Most of what rolls into our shop falls into a few categories: a crumpled fender, a scratch left in a parking lot without a note, or rust creeping from a wheel well. Whatever brought you in, the fix usually involves straightening or replacing the damaged panel, then refinishing it so the repair blends into the rest of the car.

Dents & Door Dings

We use modern auto body repair methods and professional-grade equipment to deliver consistent exterior results with attention to detail and finish quality.

Scratches, Scuffs & Paint Chips

Each vehicle requires a unique approach. Our auto body repair services are customized based on panel condition, surface damage, and finish requirements to ensure visually consistent results.

Rust & Corrosion Repair

We follow established quality standards and use approved materials to ensure repaired surfaces maintain proper finish, durability, and appearance over time.

Panel Replacement & Realignment

Our auto body repair services address a wide range of exterior needs, including dent repair, scratch removal, body panel replacement, and surface refinishing. This allows multiple cosmetic and exterior issues to be resolved in one visit at our shop.

Bumper Repair & Refinishing

We use digital imagery to document exterior damage and completed repairs, supporting clear communication and accurate documentation throughout the repair process.

Auto Body or Collision Repair. Which Do You Need?

Edmonton is hard on vehicles. Winter road salt and gravel eat away at paint and invite corrosion. Spring hailstorms leave hoods and roofs peppered with dents. Crowded mall parkades produce their share of door dings and scraped bumpers. If any of this sounds familiar, it’s time to book auto body repair. Even damage that looks purely cosmetic can expose bare metal and turn into rust within a single winter.

You don’t need to have been in an accident. Panel misalignment, faded or chipped paint, and surface corrosion are all worth addressing while the repair is still small and affordable.

Every repair starts with a hands-on inspection at our south Edmonton shop. We’ll show you exactly what we found, walk you through your options, and provide a written estimate before any work begins. This way, there are no surprises when you pick up your vehicle.

A dented door and a car that’s been T-boned are two different jobs. Small dents, scratches, and cosmetic damage fall under auto body repair. But if you’ve been in an accident, even one that looks minor, the frame or safety systems may have taken a hit. That calls for full collision repair. Not sure which you need? That’s literally what the free estimate is for.

Auto Body Repair FAQ

How long does auto body repair take?

Minor dent and scratch repairs at Freeway Auto Body usually take 1-2 days. Panel replacement or larger refinishing jobs typically require 3-5 days. Timelines depend on parts availability and refinishing extent. We confirm your completion date in the written estimate and notify you promptly of any changes.

How much does auto body repair cost in Edmonton?

Auto body repair in Edmonton generally ranges from $150 for minor scratch or chip repairs to over $5,000 for panel replacement and refinishing. We provide a detailed written estimate after inspecting your vehicle. The estimate outlines all included work. Be cautious with low quotes as they may skip essential steps like corrosion protection or proper colour blending, leading to higher costs later. Our repairs include a written lifetime warranty, ensuring you pay only once for quality work.

Do auto body shops do mechanical repairs?

No, auto body shops specialize in exterior repairs like panels, dents, rust, and paint, not engines or transmissions. However, collision damage can involve both. If mechanical repairs are needed, our team will identify them during inspection and coordinate the work so you do not have to manage multiple shops.

Can I get a quote before bringing my vehicle in?

Yes. You can send photos of the damage, and Freeway Auto Body will provide a free preliminary estimate before your visit. For an exact written quote, we need to inspect the vehicle in person since some issues are only visible upon close examination. All estimates are free and carry no obligation.

Will the new paint match the rest of my vehicle?

Yes. We use computerized colour matching with Sikkens® refinishing products to blend the repaired panel seamlessly with the surrounding finish, making the repair area indistinguishable from the original paint. Our process accounts for paint fading from Edmonton’s sun and winters, ensuring we match your vehicle’s current colour.

Do you repair rust damage?

Yes, rust repair is a common service at our Edmonton shop. Road salt often leads to corrosion, so even a small chip can develop into visible rust. We remove corroded metal, treat and seal the area, and refinish the panel. Early repairs are smaller and less expensive. Surface rust is easily fixed, but advanced rust may require panel replacement.

Where is your shop located?

Freeway Auto Body is located at 6840 76 Ave NW in south Edmonton, just minutes from the Whitemud. We have served Edmonton and surrounding communities from this location since 1969. If your vehicle is not drivable, we offer citywide towing.

Do you use OEM parts?

Whenever possible, we use OEM parts and always follow OEM-approved repair procedures to ensure replacement panels fit and perform as intended by the manufacturer. If your insurer requires alternative parts, we will explain the differences and your options before starting work. The final decision is yours.
