Specialties

Having an accident and needing collision repair can be very stressful. At D. Duncan Autobody, our goal is to make it as painless as possible. Our unique «handle it all» strategy eliminates unnecessary pressure for our customers.

Since we were established in 1974, D. Duncan Autobody has grown into one of the largest independent autobody shops in the Lehigh Valley. We attribute our growth to many repeat customers and their referrals. We thank those customers who have demonstrated their loyalty to us over the years.

We have shown our appreciation by lending our support to various local charitable organizations. This is a direct result of our strong belief in giving back to the community where we live and work.

What sets our family owned-​and-​operated company head and shoulders above the rest? It’s the involvement of «family» in every aspect of the business.

History

Established in 1973.

D. Duncan Auto Body is your repair shop for quality, hassel-​free service at affordable prices, but do you wonder about our history?

In the early 1970’s, Luther (Dopey Duncan) Gehringer and Robert (Bob) Horvath established our body shop. Gehringer was a man of varied interests. He was a race car enthusiast, local radio personality and rodeo clown. Gehringer was a well known, respected person in the Lehigh Valley. The partners agreed to name their new auto body shop using Gehringer’s stage name «Dopey Duncan». Name recognition, quality workmanship and the best customer service in the valley were the keys to growing their flourishing business.

After Gehringer’s retirement, Bob updated the name to D. Duncan Auto Body to match the evolving market. Over the years the name has changed a bit, but our repair shop is still family owned-​and-​operated working on those same principles. Michael and Eric Horvath now run the business and still pride themselves on those same key elements.
