Best Answer

Mechanics fix the internal workings of a car (engine, transmission, brakes, ect.), and a body shop repairs and paints the outside of a car.(if you want your car a different color or you were in an accident, or maybe the car is old and eaten up with rust). Body shops may also do detailing, or a thorough cleaning of your car, inside and out.
