About
Ballenger Auto Body & Repair in Carthage, TN
A Family Business Built on Trust, Skill, and Service
At Ballenger Auto Body & Repair, we believe auto repair should be honest, dependable, and personal. Since opening our doors in 2004, we’ve proudly operated as a family-owned and locally run business, built on a foundation of trust, craftsmanship, and community values.
Owner Edwin Morales brings years of hands-on experience to every job, treating each vehicle with the care and attention he’d give his own. Our shop doesn’t operate like a big franchise or chain — we believe in face-to-face conversations, clear pricing, and doing the work the right way, not the fast way.
We’re not just repairing vehicles — we’re helping people stay safe, mobile, and confident on the road.
