usmcjimbo Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 WE have a really good group of 10 body shop technicians and a great painter who all take a lot of pride in the work they do. It gets pretty cut throat trying to compete with gypsies painting outside or without a paint booth with no overheads, EPA requirements or OSHA laws to comply with. In the end fast turnaround time, quality and the fact WE have been in business for 45+ years keeps our big fleet customers like Harrison coming back to us.

Threw me for a loop @ 1st till I seen the different name before new paint . .The New paint jobs looks good . I thought the same thing, Mack! Have you ever seen their salvage yard? As of a few years ago, they had all kinds of DM parts, and they were willing to sell them really reasonable, too, since they were phasing out the DM's and going with new Vulvas and Granites.
