Free Loaner Cars While We Fix Yours
A body shop visit shouldn't put your life on hold. Ask about a free loaner when you schedule your repair.
The Repair Is Our Problem. Getting to Work Shouldn't Be Yours.
The most common reason people put off body work isn't the cost — it's the logistics. How do you get to work, get the kids to school, run your life while the car's in the shop? That's why Root River Auto Body offers free loaner cars for your convenience while your vehicle is being repaired.
No rental counter, no daily rate, no hoping your insurance policy includes rental coverage. Ask about a loaner when you get your free estimate, and we'll do our best to have one ready for your drop-off day. Loaners are subject to availability — first come, first served — so mention it early.
- Free — no daily charge while your car is in our shop
- Available for insurance and out-of-pocket repairs alike
- Ask at estimate time to reserve for your repair dates
- Pair with our collision repair, paint work, or any other service
Loaner cars, free estimates, and a lifetime guarantee — three reasons Milwaukee County drivers have trusted us since 1964.
Loaner Car vs. Insurance Rental Coverage
They're not the same thing, and knowing the difference can save you money:
- Insurance rental coverage is an optional add-on to your policy that reimburses a rental car during a covered repair — if you bought it, and only for covered claims.
- Our free loaner comes from the shop, at no charge, whether or not your policy has rental coverage — and even when you're paying out of pocket and insurance isn't involved at all.
If you do have rental coverage, taking our free loaner instead can spare you the rental-counter hassle entirely.
