Never Forget To Do your Homework!

Zach Balken • May 24, 2023

Don't let the many choices of body shop intimidate you. If you know these three things about the shop you choose you can't go wrong!

There are many different types of auto body shops out there. Many right here in Fond du Lac! I’m sure you wouldn't be surprised to hear that they are not all the same! Quite a few have a GREAT reputation for being a body shop that does great work. But not all shops are equal! Let's evaluate a few things that may be different!


  1. Every Auto Body Uses Different Paints!


For every different body shop in Fond du Lac there are multiple different paint lines that that shop could be spraying. From paint matching to how well your clear coat will last the quality paint that is used matters. Don’t simply choose a shop and settle for inferior paint. Be sure to choose an auto body that uses the highest quality products! 

At Balken’s we only use top quality materials and will never cut corners!


  1. Every Auto Body Takes Your Car!


When you have body work done your car has to stay at the body shop. I know, that's about as obvious as it gets! But have you ever thought about what you would do if you didn’t have a car to drive? Some auto body shops will tell you to figure it out on your own and you may end up having to rent a car out of your own pocket or you may not even have a car to drive at all!

At Balken’s we offer FREE loaners to all our customers who are in need. 


  1. Every Auto Body Values You Differently!


You can choose a body shop that will treat you like just a little more cash in their pocket or a body shop who views you as part of their family! From the way that they answer the phone, to the estimating process and all the way to how they return your car. It all tells you how they value you as a customer. You and your car deserve to be treated as family, not just another job to be completed. 

At Balken’s our motto is “Where Good Friends Meet By Accident”. This means that we see you as our new best friend, our brother or sister, as a valued member of our Balken’s Auto Body Family!


Don't choose your Auto Body Shop lightly, be sure to ask the right questions, and make sure you stop out and give us a try!
