The Service
Auto Bodywork in Burlington, VT
Whether someone backed into you in the Church Street garage or a deer came out of the trees on Route 2, TJ's Auto Repair handles quality Bodywork in Burlington, VT. We repair dents, damaged panels, bumpers, and rust, and we help you navigate the insurance claim from the first call through to pickup.
Vermont is hard on bodies as well as brakes. Salt gets into every stone chip and rocker seam and quietly turns a small blemish into a rusted through panel over a few winters. Catching that early is far cheaper than replacing the metal later, so we will tell you honestly whether a spot needs attention now or can be watched another season.
Every job starts with a proper assessment of what is actually damaged, including what is behind the panel. Collision damage often bends brackets, mounts, or supports that are invisible from the outside, and skipping those is how a repaired car ends up with panel gaps that never line up. You get a written estimate and a realistic timeline before we begin.

About Us
A locally owned shop on Riverside Ave
TJ's Auto Repair is a full service auto shop at 365 Riverside Ave in Burlington, Vermont. We are not a franchise or a chain collision center. We are a local shop serving drivers throughout Chittenden County and the communities east of Lake Champlain, from Winooski, Essex, and Colchester to South Burlington, Williston, Shelburne, Milton, and Richmond.
Bodywork, brakes, tires, oil changes, suspension, exhaust, engine diagnostics, and air conditioning all happen under one roof. That is a real advantage after a collision, because impact damage is rarely just cosmetic. A hit hard enough to crease a fender can bend a control arm or knock the alignment out, and we can check the mechanical side while the body work is underway.
What customers tell us they value most is the straight talk. You will hear what the repair involves, what it will cost, and how long you will be without the vehicle. If a dent is not worth what a proper repair costs on an older car, we will say so rather than quietly writing a big estimate.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose TJ's Auto Repair for Bodywork?
Four reasons Burlington drivers bring collision and body repair to us.
We Check What Is Behind the Panel
A dented quarter panel can hide a bent bracket or a cracked mount. Repairing only what is visible is why some cars come back from a body shop with doors that do not shut right. We look underneath the damage before quoting the job.
Rust Treated at the Root
Filling and painting over rust buys you one season before it comes back through worse than before. We cut back to clean metal and treat the area properly, because a Vermont vehicle deserves a repair that survives the next winter.
Honest Advice on What It Is Worth
Not every dent justifies a full repair, especially on a high mileage vehicle you plan to keep another two years. We will give you the proper repair price and the practical option, then let you decide which one makes sense.
