Watervliet's Trusted Auto Body Shop Since 1985
We don't just fix dents and frame damage. We restore the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone who actually cares did the work.
What We Do
From minor cosmetic touch-ups to major collision reconstruction, we handle it all under one roof with the same attention to detail we'd give our own vehicles.
Frame straightening, panel replacement, and structural repair using factory-spec techniques. Your vehicle rebuilt to pre-accident condition.
Custom color matching, dent removal, scratch repair, and full resprays. We blend new paint so seamlessly you won't find the seam.
Brakes, suspension, engine diagnostics, and routine maintenance. When the body work is done, we make sure everything underneath runs right too.
We work directly with your insurance company — handling estimates, paperwork, and communications so you're not stuck on hold for hours.
Expert repair on both aluminum and steel body panels. Modern vehicles need different techniques — we've got the tools and training for both.
Every job comes with our craftsmanship warranty. If something isn't right, we make it right — no questions, no hassle, no fine print.
Our Story
Schuyler Auto Body opened its doors on 2nd Avenue in Watervliet over four decades ago. What started as a one-bay shop with a handful of tools has grown into one of the most trusted auto body centers in the Capital Region — and we're still here, still local, still answering our own phones.
Our philosophy hasn't changed. We treat every vehicle that rolls into our bay like it's our own. That means honest assessments, no unnecessary upselling, and repairs that stand the test of time. When you leave our shop, you're driving something we'd be proud to drive ourselves.
The Difference
No call trees, no hold music, no "your call is important to us." Pick up the phone and you'll talk to someone who actually knows your car.
We give you a clear estimate before we start. If we find something else that needs attention, we call you first — we don't just add it to the bill.
OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts — never the cheapest option that fails six months later. Your safety isn't a place to cut corners.
Our craftsmanship warranty covers every repair we make. If something isn't perfect, bring it back and we'll fix it — that's the promise.
What People Say
"Brought my truck in after a rear-end collision and was dreading the whole experience. Schuyler made it easy — handled my insurance, kept me updated every step, and the paint match was flawless. Couldn't tell it had ever been in an accident."
"I've been bringing my cars here for over ten years. They've done collision work, brakes, oil changes — everything. The prices are fair, the work is honest, and they always finish when they say they will. That's rare these days."
"After my son totaled his first car, we were stressed and overwhelmed. Schuyler walked us through the insurance process, got us a rental, and had the car looking brand new in two weeks. They treated us like family, not a claim number."
