G&C Auto Body has been family owned and operated since 1972. Walk into a G&C Auto Body location and you might be forgiven for thinking that you’ve just entered a swanky hotel lobby or cruise company lounge. The massive wooden counters, nice carpets, tasteful lighting and well dressed employees might surprise you at first, but it’s all part of the G&C Auto Body experience, which is carefully crafted to make you feel welcomed and at ease. “When someone walks into one of my shops I want them to understand that I plan on being in business for a long time,” Owner Gene Crozat says, “I’m fussy about everything.” The waiting areas even include gourmet coffee, pastries, sodas and a fridge filled with chilled bottles of water. Cushiony couches and a TV tuned to the news complete the image of a confident and comfortable establishment

Honestly it was such a great experience! They were able to take us in right away. They were extremely communicative. And they made the process so easy with AAA insurance and our car rental service. They made a stressful situation much much better. The car looks great and service was excellent!
