Body Shops in the United States — the numbers

We maintain 53,766 body shops across the country. Below is what that looks like by state: raw count, count per 100,000 residents, and how complete the listings are. Updated November 2026.

Free to use. Quote any number here, in print or online, as long as you credit AutoBodyAtlas — a link is welcome, followed or nofollow, your choice.

How this is built

Locations come from Overture Maps (open data), filtered to body shops in the US and cleaned: duplicates merged, dead entries dropped, phone numbers normalized. Websites, opening hours and amenities are checked against each business's own site. We keep monthly snapshots, so the counts above are a point in time, not a running total — ask if you need an earlier one.
