About Hunter Auto Body
Hunter Auto Body is a family owned and operated independent collision repair shop that has been serving the St. Louis community for over 50 years. Owner Jack Hunter is also a full-time firefighter and first responder — the same dedication to protecting lives and property carries over into every repair we do. It is our mission to return vehicles back to manufacturer specifications, which is why we only use OEM parts and follow OEM repair guidance. Our staff hold certifications through ASE and carry I-CAR Platinum and Gold designations. Because we are 100% independent, our goal is not only to deliver quality auto body repair, but to earn lifelong customers. That's why every repair comes with our lifetime transferable warranty — a commitment that follows your vehicle even if you sell it. New owners can visit our shop for an inspection, and if the vehicle hasn't been altered or abused, we transfer the full warranty at no charge.

Which services the shop offers
Hail Damage Repair
St. Louis hail storms can wreak havoc on your vehicle. Our auto body shop specializes in comprehensive hail damage repair, from Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) for minor dings to full panel repair and refinishing for severe damage. PDR removes hail dents without disturbing your factory paint, no fillers and no repainting, which makes it the fastest and most cost-effective fix for cosmetic damage. We work directly with your insurance company to streamline the claims process and restore your vehicle to pre-storm condition. Don't wait, because untreated hail damage can lower your car's value.
Collision Repair
Collision repair is the heart of what we do. From minor fender benders to major structural damage, our I-CAR Platinum & Gold and ASE certified technicians restore your vehicle to pre-accident, factory condition using only OEM parts and manufacturer procedures. We handle the full process, from the initial estimate through working with your insurance company, so getting your car repaired after an accident in St. Louis is as stress-free as possible. Every collision repair is backed by our lifetime transferable warranty.
