I believe introductions are in order...

The truths about auto repair are often harder to deal with than the repairs themselves.

I have been in the collision repair industry all my life- minus the few years that I wasn’t able to form sentences and still wearing Huggies. My father was a self-taught paint and body man. After his breakout into this profession, he continued his education in the trade through hands-on training (a lot of trial and error) and furthering education through classes and certification programs.

After 25+ years in the trade, he took the plunge into self-employment and we have been running it successfully for the last ten years as an independent, family owned repair facility. Between my step brother, my father and me, we have a combined 80+ years experience. We have done, heard and seen it all. We know the lies, the scams, the insurance companies, the tricks, the repairs, the how-to’s, the never-do’s, but most of all we know the truths.

This is a new blog and I am a new blogger. I just want to try and get some information to the people: The everyday people that drive their cars and wreck them, the people that pay my bills, and the uninformed civilians who may be dealing with a collision and the repair process for the first time.

Thanks for reading,
