Our Story

A second-generation family-owned business dedicated to keeping our community safe on the road for nearly five decades.

Our Mission

Since opening our doors, we have made it our mission to provide the highest level of automotive repair and customer service to the residents of Hampshire and Franklin counties.

Getting into an accident or dealing with a broken-down vehicle is stressful. That’s why we’ve evolved into a true Full-Service Facility. From the initial tow to negotiating with your insurance company, repairing your vehicle to factory specifications, and handing you the keys to a rental car—we handle the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

Our Lifetime Guarantee

We stand behind our work. Our auto body repairs come with a 100% lifetime guarantee for as long as you own your vehicle.
