The new 13,000-square-foot space will allow the 16-year business to continue offering top-tier service and support in North County San Diego.
J & R Auto Body and Paint, Inc., a family-owned and locally operated collision repair center, is excited to announce its recent relocation to a larger and more advanced facility at 2509 S. Santa Fe Ave. in Vista. This move is a testament to their commitment to providing top-tier collision repair services and insurance claim support to the community of Vista and all of North County San Diego.
For more than 16 years, J & R Auto Body and Paint has been a trusted destination for drivers seeking professional assistance in navigating the auto insurance claim process with ease and efficiency, ultimately saving valuable time and alleviating the hassles associated with claims.
"For us, it's more than just cars; it's about people," said Denisse Barragan, owner of J & R Auto Body and Paint. "We are grateful for the support our community has shown us over the years. We would not have achieved this level of success without it. And, of course, we owe a debt of gratitude to our exceptional staff, some of whom have been with us for over a decade."
Barragan said they are also grateful for 1Collision's help.
"We've been able to grow our business with the assistance of the 1Collision team and appreciate their assistance," said Barragan. "Kelly Cooper and Joyce Schuenke recently came to our facility for a visit and provided great support and advice."
From humble beginnings when they first opened their doors on the corner of Hannalei and Woodland, they have undergone two successful shop expansions, demonstrating their adaptability and commitment to growth.
J & R Auto Body and Paint now occupies a spacious 13,000-square-foot building, the former location of Window World. This new facility is equipped with cutting-edge technology and resources to ensure they continue to deliver high-quality collision repair services with even greater efficiency.
The shop holds certifications from various leading auto manufacturers, including Acura, Honda, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, and are in the process of certification with Ford. Additionally, they are working towards becoming Tesla Approved, taking full advantage of the increased capacity of their new location.
"In a world where vehicle technology is advancing rapidly, it is more important than ever for us to have the tools and training to get vehicles safely back on the road," Barragan said. "We're forward-thinkers, not just focused on what's happening in the industry today, but also looking ahead to the vehicles of tomorrow with our new facility."
Community involvement is a cornerstone of J & R Auto Body and Paint's philosophy. They actively sponsor various events and organizations throughout Vista, including the Strawberry Festival, scholarship programs and various nonprofits. Barragan's dedication to the community has been recognized with the 2023 Vista Chamber of Commerce Businessperson of the Year award and the 1Collision Community Involvement Award.
The team at J & R Auto Body and Paint looks forward to welcoming their valued customers and the community to their new location, where they will continue to provide exceptional auto body and collision repair services and support, all while remaining deeply rooted in the community they cherish.
