Freeway Auto Body

At Freeway Auto Body Inc., we have been dedicated to providing top-quality auto body repairs for over 50 years. As a third-generation family-owned and operated business, we take pride in our commitment to serving the St. Paul area and beyond. Our journey began in the early 1950s when Albert Osterman opened Osterman's Garage in St. Paul. Over the years, we have moved to multiple locations throughout the city, finally settling at our current address on Snelling Avenue in 1969.

Our family's passion for the auto body industry has been passed down through generations. Albert's son, Michael Osterman, joined the business in the early 1980s and took over its management. In 1997, Michael's son, Michael Osterman Jr., began working part-time while attending school. After gaining valuable experience restoring classic cars with his father, Michael Jr. became a full-time member of the team. His younger brother, Robert, graduated from St. Cloud State with a business degree and joined the family business in 2005. Together, we have been working diligently to ensure that our customers receive the highest level of service and satisfaction.

Insurance FAQs

When dealing with insurance claims, it's essential to know your rights. According to Minnesota state law, you have the right to choose any repair shop to fix your vehicle. Once you've chosen a repair facility and informed the insurance representative, it's illegal for them to try to influence you to take it somewhere else.

Insurance companies may use false scare tactics to sway your decision, such as claiming they cannot guarantee the work performed at your chosen shop or that your repairs may be delayed up to a week by not choosing a preferred shop. However, at Freeway Auto Body Inc., we offer a lifetime warranty on all repairs, and we can handle the entire process for you, from dropping off your vehicle to dealing with the insurance company.

We understand that navigating the insurance process can be overwhelming, which is why we're here to help. We'll work closely with you to ensure your vehicle is restored to its pre-accident condition using original equipment parts (OEM), as required by your insurance company.

At Freeway Auto Body Inc., we're dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service and ensuring your complete satisfaction. Whether you're dealing with a minor fender bender or a more extensive collision, we're here to help you get back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.
