Press & Data
The Autobody Directory is the nightly-verified registry of U.S. collision and automotive business records: 150,000+ records compiled from official state license registers, federal records (EPA, OSHA, DOL, SBA), state business-entity filings, and manufacturer certification programs. Records, not reviews: no star ratings, every trust signal traceable to a public source.

For journalists
We can produce custom cuts on request (per-state or per-county license churn, expired-license lists, consolidation footprints, certification density), usually same-day. Recent example: Florida's FDACS register shows over a thousand strictly expired repair-shop licenses at our latest pull, with county-level detail available. Contact: contact@theautobodydirectory.com.
