A-1 Automotive is family owned and operated. By design, we are different. We evaluated every element of the paint jobber—body shop relationship and implemented a business—vendor partnership concept that has proven successful throughout other segments of the automotive industry. The business owner is our customer. Period! The "good old boy network" concept is a costly relic and smart shop owners are re-evaluating the jobber/shop relationship. They are discovering their interests are best served by partnering with an ethical jobber who offers more than selling and delivering a product.
