Our Story

Fox & Fox was born in 1963 when Walter Fox and Jerry Fox purchased what was then called The Body and Fender Shop from their employer. At that time, as the name implies, the shop was a complete body shop. 

Walt and Jerry specialized in frame and alignment repair and immediately discontinued paint and body repair to concentrate on their specialties. Dolores, Jerry’s wife, handled the office details while they concentrated on the shop. The business grew rapidly because the frames on cars were becoming more technologically advanced and required more knowledge, training and equipment to repair. 

Before long they were performing these repairs for most area body shops and Insurance companies. The large size and weight of these vehicles provided many alignment, suspension and brake repairs as well. 

After Walter passed away, Jerry and Dolores ran the company by themselves and it continued to grow.

In 1968 Dick Fox, Jerry’s son, began to work in the summers and after school. In 1970, after graduation from high school and while going to college to obtain a business degree, he began to take over some office duties and was made part of the business in 1973 along with his wife.

In the late 1970s with the introduction of the unitized body constructed vehicles it was necessary to retool and retrain and new skills were required. Air conditioning, engine repair, drive train, and electrical know-how and equipment were required. The shop grew and there were increased opportunities to perform maintenance repairs.

In the late 80s with air bags and restraints the need for computer diagnostic skills was apparent. We decided that it would be in the best interest of the shop to officially make it a full service mechanical shop offering oil changes, tune up, drive train, alignment, and air conditioning services available to anyone needing them in addition to the collision services already being offered.

Once that transition was completed, the next logical step for growth was to offer complete collision repairs including paint and body. In 1997 a paint booth was purchased and a painter was hired.

In 2009 Dick’s daughter joined the company, making the fourth generation to work for our company. Her social nature and genuine care for other people made her the obvious choice to oversee the company’s marketing, back office duties, and customer satisfaction.

In 2015 our body shop expanded, allowing us to serve more customers and expedite the repair process.

Since the 1990s Fox & Fox has been a complete collision repair center able to repair damaged vehicles from start to finish, working with all major insurance companies while providing expert frame and suspension repairs for shops that do not specialize in that area. The mechanical side of our company performs every type of maintenance and repair needed on all gas powered cars, vans, SUVs and mid-sized trucks

Our company was founded on being the best at what it did, all while keeping our customers, and their satisfaction, at the heart of everything we do. Today we strive to continue that tradition in all areas of repair and service, all while staying up to date with our service equipment, education and understanding of advancements in vehicle technology.
