about us

We are proud to be serving the Aiken area for three generations and over 50 years.

WE ARE A LOCAL FAMILY-OWNED COLLISION REPAIR, MECHANICAL REPAIR, AND TOWING COMPANY. THIRD GENERATION BODY SHOP OWNER WITH OVER 50 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS.

We have done everything automotive related throughout the years. From running a salvage yard and towing service since the 1950's along with mechanical repair to expert collision repair for modern day vehicles. The salvage yard was phased out in the mid 90's along with towing due to the second generation owners health. Collision repair was introduced by the third generation owner in 2002 and has since been the main focal point of the body shop. We added emergency towing in 2020 and it has been a great addition to our body shop and the community. We believe in repairing vehicles properly without the influence of insurance companies. We educate the vehicle owners on proper auto body repairs following OEM repair manuals.

We are committed to providing you with the highest level of service and safety. We may not be related, but you'll feel like family.

Chris Herron

Owner, estimator, non structural tech, structural tech, mechanical tech, refinish tech, tow truck operator, I-Car platinum tech, ASE Master tech

Hey my name is Chris Herron and ever since I can remember, I have been around automobiles. I grew up in my dad's automotive salvage yard, emergency towing, and repair shop. When I was young, the cool paint jobs and custom airbrushing was always what I liked the best. So, I started painting at the age of 15 as a third generation shop owner, which led me to body repair, which then led me to collision repair during a 20 year span. Doing collision repair the right way is my main focus. I have sought out training from the best consultants the collision industry has to offer and I'm proud to be one of the very few shops in the collision industry that believes in continual training and proper collision repairs dictated by the vehicles body repair manual specific to each make and model. I still like cool paint jobs and airbrushing, but I like safe collision repairs better!
