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 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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

Jay has been with A-1 Body & Frame since 1997.

Jay has spent decades building and maintaining relationships with our customers – across multiple repairs and multiple generations, he exemplifies the family dynamic of A-1 Body & Frame. Jay has a passion for golf, cooking, and enjoying sports with his family.
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.
Taylor joined A-1 Body & Frame in 2019 as our Parts Department Manager. Taylor’s attention to detail and ability to learn quickly in a new industry has made it feel like she has always been part of the A-1 family. Her passion outside of the shop is animals – her 2 cats, Leonard and Gator, and her horse, Shermie.
Ryan has over 10 years of experience with A-1, and currently works as our Blueprint Repair Manager. Ryan works closely with our repair technicians, and estimators to develop our start-to-finish repair plan that will return your vehicle to pre-accident condition.
Terry began working in the automotive industry in 1976. Working in a wide variety of mechanical shops before coming to A-1, he is more than capable of handling any mechanical work needed as the result of an accident. Terry enjoys fishing, hot rodding, and dirt track riding, and spending time with his 2 daughters, and his new granddaughter!
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.
