Safety is paramount at A-1 Body & Frame.  All team members are provided with proper Personal Protective Equipment, ongoing safety training, and are empowered to immediately stop production if they feel that a team member is not working safely, or that a repair to a vehicle would not be safe.

We cannot imagine a “less than” repair. We will work with you to complete a repair that combines technology, skill, experience and craftsmanship, so you can be confident that your vehicle is fixed right, for many years to come.

OUR FAMILY VALUES

Respect

Respect for the vehicle owner, their property, and mutual respect for our team members is at the heart of what we do at A-1 Body & Frame. Every team member is important and valued – and every step of every repair, every vehicle, and every customer is just as important and deserves our complete attention

Trust

Our customers entrust us with their vehicle for safe, proper repairs to their vehicle – often one of the most valuable possessions they own, and one that is depended on for getting through the tasks of daily life. Trust, once broken, is immensely difficult to re-gain. We must always be vigilant to honor the trust placed in us.

Teamwork

No one person makes the collision repair process work – our estimators, customer service representatives, parts managers, disassembly technicians, body and frame repair technicians, painters, mechanics and detailers all must work together and understand how they must give their very best work to the next team member, so that they can give their very best work to our customer.

Integrity

Integrity goes hand-in-hand with Trust. We will champion for you, the vehicle owner, to complete a safe, proper repair. No corners are cut in our process – we will NEVER do something we said we wouldn’t, or not do something we said we would.

Exceptional Quality

We cannot imagine a “less than” repair. We will work with you to complete a repair that combines technology, skill, experience and craftsmanship, so you can be confident that your vehicle is fixed right, for many years to come.

Dependable

While we certainly cannot anticipate some of the challenges that may arise in the repair process – further damage, parts shortages, illness, weather, or even problems with the mail – we have tools and strategies in place to allow us to rapidly change our approach to complete your repair in a timely fashion. And of course, we will always be in contact with you, the vehicle owner, through every step of the process.

Performance Driven

Our goal as a company is to grow to better serve our customer. To grow our business, we must support and grow our team members through continuing education and training, invest in new tools and technologies, and work towards new products, services, and locations to bring hassle-free automotive repair and service to our customers.

OUR FAMILY

Carra started at A-1 in 2004, and worked her way through many areas of the business, as a Customer Service Representative, Estimator, Parts Manager, and now serves as President after purchasing the shop in 2019. Carra enjoys spending time with her kiddos, riding horses, and baking when time allows.

While Dustin is new to the collision repair industry, he has 15 year experience in business administration, I/T, and customer service. Dustin serves as A-1’s technology manager, Controller/CFO, and is mentoring and training in other areas of the repair process to be able to back up our team. Dustin is our Refinish Specialist, and is certified in BASF refinishing products. In his spare time, Dustin enjoys hiking, backpacking, and gardening.

Ben has worked in the collision repair industry since 2008. Working with several shops before coming to A-1 allows him to help our customers navigate the repair process easily – after all, for many people, a car accident is a rare occurrence. But don’t be afraid, Ben can help walk you through it. Ben loves to spend time with his family and pets – especially their dogs, Chunk and Domino.

Jeff has been with A-1 since 2000, and has worked in the collision repair industry since the early 1970’s. He enjoys spending time with his grandchildren, and has been friends with our Body and Frame Technician Joe Dean since they were 20.

Chuck has been part of the A-1 family since 1993, and from day 1 has worked to help set the bar for high quality repairs at reasonable prices.

Brock started with A-1 in 2020 while home on break from his studies at Ohio University, where he is working towards a degree in Finance and Business Analytics. Working in the detail department, Brock is responsible for final inspection of the repair and the “wow” factor when it is delivered. Brock is also working to cross train in other departments to better understand the entire repair process, and is working towards I-Car certifications.
