Bob and Cheryl Anderson opened Anderson's Autobody in 1989. Bob's family has always worked in the automotive repair industry, and he decided to continue the family tradition with his own body shop in Ponderay. Bob brings more than 55 years of body shop experience to his business, as well as I-CAR Gold and air conditioning certifications.
Whether you've got a small scratch in your auto paint, a cracked windshield, or you've just been in a bad collision, Anderson's Autobody can get your car back in pristine shape. We offer comprehensive body shop services, including frame straightening, computerized color matching, collision repair, dent and scratch removal, custom paint, and more!
Due to the pandemic, Thrifty Car Rental sold off a lot of its fleet and canceled orders for more cars in 2020. In turn, as travel started to pick back up, we are underprepared for a surge in new bookings. In addition to that, we are unable to purchase more vehicles due to a delay in a computer chip shortage from the manufacturers.
We are staying open and taking extreme precautions to continually disinfect our workplace for the safety of our employees and valued customers. If you are experiencing any symptoms-cough, fever, shortness of breath-please stay home or call us if you need immediate assistance and we will do our best to accommodate you with your vehicle needs.
Give a signed statement to the claims adjuster representing the other driver's insurance company. Take your car to a shop specified by your insurance agent or to any drive-in claims center for inspection. Accept a check for repair of your car until you are confident that it covers all necessary repairs.

My first major repair on a car was a super easy process. I got two different estimates for the repairs, both were nearly identical. The reason why I chose Anderson autobody is because the staff was very kind when I went in.
When David was doing my estimate, he showed me something near the car battery, and I wasn't paying attention, so I leaned against the battery and got acid all over my very nice jacket. David made it his priority to find me some baking soda to neutralize the acid, and my jacket lived another day. And I knew if they were going treat my jacket that well, they were going to treat

This is by far the best body shop in the area. They have done work for me several times and work for a lot of my family as well. The work is always exceptional and the finished product is beautiful! The whole team is super friendly and it is always a pleasure doing business at Andersons Auto Body. Honestly cant say enough good about them!

WOW! Super impressed by Anderson's... I am not a car girl. Usually so annoying to enter an autobody place and be made to feel like an idiot for not knowing everything... that certainly wasn't the case here. They are informative and professional and super nice. They are honest and eager to help. Great experience... hope we never have to use you again though! LOL

On our way from San Diego to visit family in Sandpoint we hit an elk. While there was no way for them to do the repairs before we had to head home, the guys at Anderson's immediately looked over our Sienna and made sure it was safe to drive home. They did some minor repairs and sent us on our way. So thankful for their thorough and quick service. I would highly recommend them.

Bob Anderson and his team did an awesome job on repairs to my Toyota 4Runner. You would never guess that the vehicle was damaged. Completion promised in 3 days, and to my surprise the vehicle was ready for pickup in one day in pristine condition. Bob, Cam, Dale, Monica and the body shop team were incredible. Friendly, polite and attentive to my needs. You bet that I would recommend Anderson Autobody without hesitation.

As always, Bob Anderson's team delivers exceptional service. This specific time, I received my vehicle 4 days earlier than promised so that I could have it back by the weekend. I am always amazed at how "new" it looks, even for a 19 year old vehicle. I have had the infrequent opportunity to utilize Bob's services for over 20 years now and I am always completely satisfied with the results. The quality of work continues to last throughout the life of the vehicle. If you're in need of a fabulous Autobody shop, I highly recommend Bobo Anderson's Autobody inc. You be glad you did!

I brought into Anderson Autobody my 2009 Chevy Silverado that had damage to the tailgate and a very dented rear corner of the bed. David Rafferty immediately helped me out and took a look at the damage. I dropped the truck off and once they were done with the repairs, it looked better than before the accident! They worked directly with my insurance company, Liberty Mutual, and the process has been completely painless. I highly recommend Andersons Autobody! Great customer service and great work done on my vehicle! Logan Lowell

I had hit some black ice and did a good job on my rear bumper and side panel. The auto body I had used for years was now closed due to retirement. So I went on my insurance company's recommendation. Boy, am I glad I did. They are probably the nicest, most down to earth people I have met. Honest (when parts came in, it was discovered that they came with other parts. He told me about it and adjusted the bill). I was notified of my cars repair progress every step of the way.
Since it was the holidays, I expected it to take a little longer. Well, they finished five days ahead

I chose Anderson's when my vehicle was sprayed with 1/2 " size gravel from a large truck. Service was some of the best. From initial contact to the finished project. Bob and his staff are some of best.
Keeping me informed through day to day email contact and by telephone if necessary was helpful.
Anderson's provided me with a rental car and worked closely with insurance folks when necessary. Thank you for the great work.

I'm writing this 4 months later because of how great the staff is at Anderson's autobody. They are in my insurances network so they did all the paperwork n dealt with my agent directly. I didn't have to do anything but read the constant updates they sent me by text and email to let me know exactly where my truck was in the repair process. I hit a deer n 4 days later my truck was brand new. The staff was professional prompt and attentive. Highly recommend.
