What is a "body shop"?
A body shop is a facility where the car's body is assembled and welded together. It is the part of the production process where various metal parts, such as doors, hoods, and panels, are joined to form the vehicle's outer structure. Workers in the body shop use specialized tools and machines to weld, shape, and fit these parts together before the vehicle moves on to other stages of production, such as painting and finishing.
Examples
The body shop is where the bare metal frames of vehicles are transformed into complete car bodies through precise assembly and welding processes.
