About Us

In 1994, after years of working for other auto repair facilities, Frank Latin realized his dream of having his own auto repair facility. Mr. Latin chose this location in his home town of Madison, Ohio. For several years, Mr. Latin rented space where he operated his auto repair facility. Realizing the need for growth, in 2003 Mr. Latin focused on purchasing land and erecting his own building, which was completed in 2004.

The 9,500 square foot facility staffs a crew of six, all of which are ASE certified. Four of the technicians are I-CAR certified, and three are PPG certified. In addition, our frame technician is also certified for Chief Computerized Measuring Systems.

The facility has the following equipment to meet today’s needs for auto body repair:

(1) Star-A-Liner 18-foot Drive-on Frame Machine equipped with Chief 3-dimensional measuring system. This machine is equipped to straighten unibody vehicles, and full frame vehicles including trucks.
