Why we don't take insurance contracts
We Work With Insurance Companies, Not For Them!
Other shops sign contracts with insurance companies. We don't. That's a choice we made when we opened almost a decade ago and we've stuck with it. It means we work for you, your safety, your car, your timeline. Not the insurance company's bottom line. Our goal is to get your car back to factory specs not the insurance companies minimum to get it out close our the claim.

Collision & Auto Body Repair
Fender benders, full collision whatever the cause, our technicians repair or replace to OEM spec to restore your vehicle like the damage never happened. Lifetime warranty on every repair.

Hail dents, hammered hoods, cracked windshields. We restore every panel to factory spec with paintless dent repair (PDR) when the paint hasn't cracked, and full body and paint work when it has.

Hood, grille, radiator, and front-end damage from deer or wildlife collisions. Common across Pottawatomie County — we see them every fall.
Why Downtown Auto Body
The Downtown Difference
Lifetime Warranty
As long as you own the vehicle, the work we did is covered. Paint, body, frame. We can offer this because we use OEM repair procedures, OEM-grade parts when the situation calls for them, and we don't cut corners to hit a labor estimate.
Free Same-Day Quote
Walk in, drive in, call ahead. We'll write your estimate while you wait — most quotes done in 30 minutes or less. No appointment, no fee, no obligation.
OEM Repair Procedures
We follow OEM repair procedures and use OEM-grade parts where the manufacturer specifies them — because the safest repair is the one done to the carmaker's spec, not the insurance estimator's.
We Work With Every Insurance
We don't sign contracts with insurance companies. We work with all of them — direct billing, claim coordination, the works. The difference: we answer to you, not to the carrier.
More than a body shop
Family-Run, Customer-First
Kim & Michael Johnson opened up shop in 2017 with one rule: customers before insurance companies & that's still how its run today. Michael in the shop, Kim up front, & Jeff writes up estimates. When you walk in, you'll see them. Thats the difference. You're not dealing with an owner in an office somewhere else.
Paint Matching Technology
Manufacturers don't release their color formulas, so we use computerized color matching to read your vehicle's exact shade and mix paint that blends seamlessly with the original. No "close enough."
Custom & Restoration Work
Beyond collision and paint, we do custom and restoration work — including our award-winning 1954 Corvette restoration that was featured at SEMA in Las Vegas. If you've got a project car, bring it in. See DTAB Customs →
Shawnee-Grown
Shawnee is where we grew up, raised our families, and built our shop. We sponsor Shawnee High School Football, host the annual City of 5 Nations Car Show in downtown Shawnee, and our '54 Corvette led the Christmas Parade carrying OBU President Heath Thomas. This is home.

Testimonial
Clients Love
“After Oklahoma thunderstorms dropped baseball sized hail on my Lexus I tried to use one of those "We come to your house" dent repair places but my insurance wanted photos, a claims adjuster to come to the house, an estimate before they did anything, & more. It was a headache. When I called Downtown Auto Body they did everything for me. I dropped it off & the owner Kim called when it was ready way faster than I expected! I highly recommend Downtown Auto Body.”
“When I had a wreck on Harrison my Dodge wouldn't even start. My insurance suggested their preferred repair shop but I wasn't comfortable using a shop that had the insurance companies best interest in mind instead of mine! A friend suggested Downtown Auto Body & they took care of everything; insurance, repairs, paperwork, everything! They are by far the best body shop in shawnee!”
“Coming home from work on Kickapoo at early in the morning I hit a deer head on. It was a mess. Downtown Auto Body shop n Shawnee replaced my grill, hood, & after painting you can't event tell that anything happened. I was worried about my insurance being with a company that it seems like no one takes but they assured me they work with all insurances. I didn't pay a dime! Customer For Life!!”
