Listed for drivers in and around Council Bluffs, IA, these 24 shops handle bodywork and paint. What each one says about panel work, paint warranties and insurance jobs comes from its own website; ratings and quotes come from public reviews.

Area overview: Council Bluffs, IA

Of the 24 technicians we list here, 8 are in Council Bluffs itself and 16 come from towns including Omaha, NE (10, 11 mi), Bellevue, NE (3, 7 mi) and Ralston, NE (1, 10 mi). The technicians on this page are rated from 3.8 to 5.0 across 4,433 reviews; 16 have 50 or more reviews and 22 are rated 4.5 or higher. When customers rate these technicians on specific qualities, they most often praise professionalism (88%), quality (80%) and value (62%). The topics that come up most in reviews of the technicians on this page are "estimates", "communication" and "fair". 6 are open on Saturdays. The services the technicians on this page list most often on their websites are auto body repair (3), paintless dent repair (3), aluminum collision repair (2), auto body (2) and bus repair (2). 3 list staff certifications (I-CAR and ASE) and 15 have a BBB rating of A or A+. 21 have ten or more years of experience, the longest 56 years. 10 give free estimates; 7 are family- or locally-owned and 2 list coupons or special offers. We count these figures across the technicians on this page; distances are straight-line, and hours and prices change, so confirm the details with the technician before you visit.

Are any of these shops long established?

21 of the 24 shops claim ten or more years of trading. Longevity counts in body work, because paint systems and bonded panels have changed and a shop that stayed open had to keep retraining. It is what their listings state, not a rating.
