Have you just got into a fender bender? Or have you come out in the parking lot only to see a shopping cart in the side of your vehicle with a nice size dent, or worse?

Did someone key your vehicle?

These are terrible costly scenarios, which no one wants happening to them.

Now, what do you do?

Hi, I’m Nancy at Kneble’s Auto Service Center.

Have we been recommended to handle these issues?

It wouldn’t be the first time, nor the last.

We somehow won an award for this.

If you liked us on Facebook, followed us on Instagram or, subscribed to our YouTube channel, where we do a new video every Wednesday at 12:30, you would know, unfortunately, we here at Kneble’s Auto Service Center cannot fix your problem.

Apparently, some people think auto body and auto repair are basically the same, but there are significant differences.

Auto body refers to the outer covering of the vehicle.

This is the body of the car, such as bumpers, fenders, frame. The exterior such as body panels.

Auto body shops have the capability to paint vehicles, replace components to the shell of the vehicle and pull dents out.

Auto body repair shops can restore your vehicle to look like it just came off of the showroom floor.

As for auto repair shops like here at Kneble’s Auto, we can repair or replace exhaust systems, brake systems, cooling systems, air conditioning, and heating systems, and so much more, including electrical and software problems.

Auto repair centers can replace engines and transmissions along with rear differentials, clutches, and transaxles.

We as an auto repair shop, typically say we can maintain and fix any mechanical problem underneath the hood or under the vehicle, including tires.

So next time you get into an accident and only have auto bodywork to be done.

Think auto body shop when looking for that perfect repair center, but if you need a moving part repaired, visit your friendly neighborhood auto repair shop, make an appointment online, or call us here for an appointment at (609) 625-3286.

We are located at 5473 Somers Point Road in Mays Landing. Next to Freddy J’s Bar & Kitchen.

Thank you.
