They fixed my husband's truck after the deer collision and were so helpful at navigating insurance and everything.

A1 is our first choice for our accident repairs, whether through insurance or not.
Jay worked with our insurance for our most recent experience after Ben submitted the estimate documentation.
High quality repairs were performed sooner than promised. I received regular email updates which included a timeline, parts list, expenses and insurance information.

Office staff went above and beyond. My insurance company was being difficult about paying for a certain repair, and they told me exactly what to do to solve the problem.
Also, the body work was excellent. Could not be happier with it.

I've been a customer of A1 Body & Frame for around 30 years. Jay and his staff have ALWAYS taken great care of me and my vehicles through the years. I won't go anywhere else for collision and damage repair to my cars.

Jay was AWESOME!!! Extremely professional, kind and knowledgeable. Did excellent work on the front bumper on my Chrysler 300 (deer damage). He even saw my mother's suv and rubbed out a bright yellow mark when she backed into a pole. New Longtime Customer!!

Our Prius had a close encounter with our mailbox at the end of the driveway. There was no body damage, but there were deep, wide scratches over several panels. The quality of the repair is excellent -- however -- the repair was scheduled for 4 days and actually took 8 days, and the total cost was raised because of extra time needed for polishing (related to their issue with applying the three-step paint). I enthusiastically endorse A-1 in terms of repair quality, but they fail on the other counts. A couple years ago, I had an SUV with a cracked bumper cover--a different body shop said they could

After what I was sure was going to be a costly insurance claim, requiring a new bumper and grill, Jay was able to reattach the existing parts of my Accord quickly and easily. I panicked and thought the worst, but Jay assured me, it was not as bad as it seemed. I'm so incredibly thankful for not only the great work A-1 has done and the headache they saved me, but the kindness I was shown by the staff. Jay absolutely saved the day (and my wallet). I could not recommend A-1 enough.

I can't even express how happy I am with the repair done on my 2016 Honda Accord Sport Coupe. Jay Feller is awesome to work with and dealt with the insurance company of the woman that backed into my parked car. The photos speak for themselves. Thank you Jay and everyone at A1 Body and Frame. Paint match is perfection and the alignment is perfect once again. Highly recommend A1 Body and Frame.

Quick to get in for a consult, and extremely helpful in outlining my options for repair. Ryan is the best! In an industry where auto body shops seem to be all mediocre - this shop was an extremely pleasant surprise!

Awful customer service. Spoke with Brandon on the phone and he made it clear that I was getting on his nerves with asking questions. Further, when I let him know I wasn't comfortable with how different his answers were in comparison to another employee at A-1, he was very clear in letting me know he didn't care what my perception was. Really sad because they seemed like a decent place.

I needed a some welding repair, just a small job. Stopped in to inquire & they were friendly said no problem, will do it. I Said needed it done within 4 days if possible. Within 8 hrs, I receive a call that it was done.
This says ALOT as it was not a big project that they would make some good money on, but they still took the time to work it in & repair it.
1st time I used the shop, gladly will again when in need!!

Thank You,

I came in to get some repairs on my 2016 Ford Escape. I received a quick and honest estimate from Ben about a week ago but came in to get a few more photos for the insurance company. After communicating my needs for the car's repair, Jay (I think) was able to just fix my key repair by hand and a handshake. That's an honest relationship and earned my trust for my future car needs. Thank you very much

Have always brought my cars here. Family has too. Recently had accident in my black Jeep and took about two weeks tops to fix. They made everything perfect again. No complaints. Especially with a black vehicle. Very friendly and they do things correct. Highly recommend. A+++

Our car was hit and while researching insurance approved shops, I saw the reviews here on Yelp for this place and it seemed like the place to go. Never have we regretted a decision more. They had our car for over 5 weeks and then returned it to us in the worst shape ever. There was a dent at the gas door that was visible, the bumper just below the tail light looked like someone had used a screwdriver to pry off the tail light (which was NOT damaged in the accident) and the clear coat was completely warped. Not only that but the car had some kind of automotive "goo" all over it in

Today, I brought my truck into A-1 for an estimate. Unfortunately, my door is dropping due to weak hinges and apparently, bad manufacturing. (I guess that's why Japanese trucks are outselling American trucks!)

Bob assisted me right away. He was very pleasant and allowed me to interrupt his paperwork to take a quick look at my problem. His advise was very sound, yet expensive. I'm not saying his rates are expensive. It's just that I don't want to pay several hundred dollars to fix something on such an old vehicle. That's my problem, not theirs (or yours).

Bob was very
