How big is the auto body shop market?

Collision repair is a local trade with a strong pull toward consolidation. The Census Bureau counted 35,029 body, paint and interior repair shops with employees in 2023 (NAICS 811121), led by California (4,141), Texas (2,725), Florida (2,076), New York (2,004), Illinois (1,534) and Pennsylvania (1,532). Independent single-shop owners still make up much of the map, next to multi-shop operators (MSOs), franchise networks and dealer-owned body shops. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 163,200 automotive body and related repairer jobs in 2025, 60% of them in body, paint, interior and glass repair. Most work is paid by auto insurers, so shops care about cycle time, approvals and their standing in insurer repair programs. The owner or general manager buys anything big (paint lines, frame machines, estimating software); the office or parts manager handles day-to-day suppliers.

How many auto body shops are there in each state?

California, Texas and Florida have the most. The Census Bureau counted 35,029 establishments in Automotive body, paint, and interior repair and maintenance (NAICS 811121) across the 50 states and DC in 2023. These are locations with paid employees, so one-person businesses aren't included and the real number of businesses is higher. Use it to size a market before you build the list.

What's in a auto body shop lead list

Every row is one auto body shop business found on Google Maps inside the area you chose, with its email found on its own website and checked against the live mail server. These are the columns that matter most for auto body shops:

Field	Why it matters for auto body shops
category / categories	Separates collision shops from paintless dent repair, glass and restoration specialists, and catches mechanical repair shops that also do body work. A paint distributor and a glass supplier want different rows.
email + grade	Body shops often publish an office or estimates address. Verified means the mailbox exists; Accept-all means the domain takes any address, so treat it as a maybe and send to it more carefully.
emails (up to 5, with role and source)	Larger shops list separate addresses for estimates, parts, the office manager and careers. The role and the page each was found on help you reach the person who buys.
website (domain)	Multi-shop operators and franchise networks share one domain across many locations. Group by domain to separate groups that buy centrally from independents that decide locally.
rating + reviews	Drivers compare body shops on reviews after an accident. Shops with a 3.x rating or few reviews next to busy competitors are the natural targets for reputation and marketing offers.
hours	Shows which shops open Saturdays and which keep strict weekday hours, useful for timing calls and for spotting shops that compete on convenience.
phone	The front counter answers all day and calls are welcome during business hours. Ask for the owner, manager or parts manager by role, and follow the TCPA for calls and texts.

About 45 columns in all, including up to five emails per business with their role and source, and eight social networks. See a sample export.

Search terms that find every auto body shop

No single keyword finds them all. Businesses file themselves under different Google Maps categories and describe themselves in different words, so a complete list searches every variant across the whole area, then removes duplicates.

Search terms: auto body shop, collision repair, collision center, body shop, car body repair, auto paint shop, car paint shop, auto refinishing, paintless dent repair, dent repair service, hail damage repair, bumper repair, frame straightening service, auto frame repair, fender repair, scratch repair, auto glass shop, windshield repair, classic car restoration, custom auto body, truck body repair, fleet collision repair, rv body shop, motorcycle body shop, aluminum body repair.

Google Maps categories: Auto body shop, Auto painting, Auto dent removal service, Auto glass shop, Auto restoration service, Auto repair shop, Truck repair shop.

Leadraft includes these in its Auto keyword pack (61 terms), and suggests more in your country's vocabulary when you type a trade.

Who sells to auto body shops, and what works

Paint, refinish and body supply distributors. Paint lines, clear coat, abrasives, fillers and masking. Lead with delivery frequency and a cost-per-repair-order comparison, because paint and materials are a large, measurable cost.
Equipment dealers. Spray booths, frame machines, welders, ADAS calibration and diagnostic scan tools. Pitch the work the shop is sending out today (calibrations, aluminum repair) that it could keep in house.
Auto marketing, SEO and reputation agencies. Drivers search "collision repair near me" right after an accident. Show the owner where they rank on the map and how their review count compares with the three nearest shops.
Parts suppliers, recyclers and glass distributors. OEM, aftermarket and recycled parts plus glass. Lead with fill rate, delivery times and returns, because a missing part stalls the whole repair.
Shop management, payments and customer communication software. Repair status texts, online estimates, payments and production boards. Pitch shorter cycle times and fewer "is my car ready" calls.
Towing companies and fleet managers. Tow operators and fleet managers want a reliable shop to send vehicles to. A short note about your area and response time starts a referral relationship.

How to segment and qualify a auto body shop list

Collision vs specialty

Use the category column to split collision shops from paintless dent repair, auto glass and restoration or custom shops. Each segment buys different supplies and equipment.

Independents vs MSOs and franchises

Group rows by website domain. One domain across many locations is a multi-shop operator or franchise: contact head office for software and supply deals, and individual shops for local services.

Dealer-owned body shops

Body shops attached to new car dealerships buy through the dealer group. Pair this list with our car dealership email list and target the fixed-ops side.

Hail and storm markets

Paintless dent repair demand clusters in hail belts. Draw the area around the hail-prone counties you serve and search dent and hail terms there.

Weak online presence

Filter for shops with no website, a rating under 4.0 or fewer than 50 reviews. Our guide on finding businesses with low Google reviews shows how to turn that into a first line.

Newly opened shops

New body shops need paint accounts, equipment and a listing that ranks. A monitor on your area surfaces new listings as they appear on Google Maps.

How to reach auto body shops

Mornings are busy, afternoons less so

Shops check in vehicles and write estimates first thing. Mid-afternoon emails and calls Tuesday to Thursday tend to reach the manager.

Speak to cycle time and the insurer

Most repairs are paid by insurance, so shops care about how fast they can repair a car and get paid. Offers framed as fewer days per repair, fewer supplements or faster payment land well.

Name a real observation

Body shop owners get a lot of vendor email. Lead with something specific from the row: their review count against nearby shops, missing Saturday hours, or no online estimate form.

CAN-SPAM and TCPA

Commercial email to businesses is covered by CAN-SPAM: honest subject lines, your physical address and an opt-out that you honor. Calls and texts fall under the TCPA, so call shop lines by hand and don't send marketing texts without consent. Read our cold email laws guide and get legal advice for your setup.

Auto body shops lead lists: questions

How do I find auto body shop leads?

Pick the area you sell into (a city, county, ZIP code or a shape you draw), then search Google Maps terms such as auto body shop, collision repair, auto paint shop and paintless dent repair. Leadraft searches the area tile by tile so you get past Google's limit of about 120 results per search, keeps only shops inside your area, finds up to 5 emails on each shop's website and checks every one before you export.

How many auto body shops are there in the US?

The Census Bureau's County Business Patterns counted 35,029 automotive body, paint and interior repair shops with paid employees in 2023 (NAICS 811121). California has the most (4,141), then Texas (2,725) and Florida (2,076). Owner-only shops with no payroll aren't in that count, and many mechanical repair shops also do body work, so Google Maps shows more.

Can I separate collision shops from mechanics?

Yes. Leadraft records each business's Google Maps categories. Keep Auto body shop and Auto painting rows for a collision list, and drop or separate shops whose main category is Auto repair shop. For mechanics, see our auto repair shop email list.

Are the emails verified?

Each email is checked against the shop's mail server and graded Verified (the mailbox exists), Accept-all (the server accepts any address, so it's a maybe) or Invalid (never exported). Emails come from the shop's own website, with the page each was found on.

How much does an auto body shop email list cost?

Leadraft charges one business credit per shop, once, and one checked-email credit per verified email you take out. California has 4,141 auto body shops with employees (Census 2023). A California-wide list fits the Starter plan ($19 a month for 25,000 businesses and 1,000 checked emails); if you want 2,500 verified emails, Growth ($49, 5,000 checked emails) covers it in one month. A national list of about 35,000 shops fits Growth's 100,000 businesses. The Free plan gives you 500 businesses and 50 checked emails a month to test one city first.

Do you include owner names?

No. Leadraft lists businesses, not people. You get the emails each shop publishes on its own website, often an office or estimates address and sometimes a named owner or manager, with the role and the page it was found on.
