A young
couple David and Virginia with three young children started a small auto body
repair and paint facility together in Brea. Dave loved cars all of his life and
was an expert in the industry. Virginia worked from home in the early years to
care for the children and now they work side by side with two of their children
and their expert staff. Some of the staff has been with them for over 20 years.
In 2002, they moved to a 50% larger, beautiful facility in Brea and expanded the
business. Proudly, about 60 to 70% of their customers are repeat customers or
referrals from repeat customers. David and Virginia now have four grandchildren
they adore and many wonderful friends. They have had the pleasure of forming
friendships with their customers and servicing their customers children and even
their grandchildren. They live their life with charity and giving back in mind.
Brea Auto Body has purchased repaired and gifted vehicles to several charities over the years. In 2005, the family along with their daughter Denise's new husband Fred, was awarded the National Auto Body Council Pride Award for Humanitarian Acts outside of the industry. Virginia and David also are proud recipients of the St. Denis Catholic Community Pastoral Award for Humanitarian Acts and Service to their Community. Their care for their customers and their community is evident in the quality and service they provide. They are grateful for their loyal customers and are active in the Local and National Trade Associations to assure they are current with the latest technologies and training. This year in October marks their 30th Anniversary of Brea Auto Body.
