Since opening our doors in 1971, Ben Nielsen’s Charles County Auto Body has been more than just a repair shop—we’ve become part of the community. As a family owned and operated business, we’ve built our reputation on trust, hard work, and a commitment to treating every customer like family. Being the dealership alternative means you don’t have to pay inflated prices or wait weeks for service. Instead, you get the same advanced technology and expert craftsmanship you’d expect from a dealer, combined with the personal care and attention that only a locally owned shop can provide. Over the years, generations of families have counted on us to repair everything from minor scratches to major collision damage, and we’ve continued to earn that trust by keeping our standards high and our service honest. Our technicians use state-of-the-art equipment, precision frame straightening systems, and modern paint-matching technology to deliver results that meet or exceed manufacturer standards. But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to people. We take the time to explain repairs, work with your insurance company, and make the process as stress-free as possible. For more than 50 years, drivers throughout the area have chosen us not just because of what we fix, but because of how we care. That’s what it means to be the dealership alternative—quality, reliability, and family values in every repair.
