Our Story
Old-school craft. Honest work.
Owned by Rob Collins and serving Fries, VA since the 1990s.
About the shop
Three decades of straightening cars — and stories.
Rob Collins opened the doors of Rob's Body and Frame Shop in the 1990s with a simple promise: every customer gets honest work and a car they're proud of. Three decades later, that promise still drives the shop.
We specialize in old-school classic style repairs — the kind that take patience, the right tools, and the kind of eye you only get from years on the floor. From rust repair on a daily driver to bringing a treasured classic back to life, the work is done by hand, with pride.
We're small on purpose. That means Rob sees every car that comes in, and you talk to the person actually doing the work.
