Opened in 1958 & Never Looked Back
Three Generations of Collision Repair Excellence
Jackson’s Body Shop, Inc.
is a third generation family-owned business, now owned by Larry Jackson. It was opened in October 1958 by Glenn Jackson and his two sons, Walter and Roger.
Larry has worked at the shop since the early 1980s and first became a half shareholder in 1998, alongside cousin Jerry.
For many years, Walter did the bodywork
and Roger did the paintwork. The original building had 5 stalls and a counter for an office. In the late 1960s, a 4-stall concrete block building was added on.
When Silverton
Road
was widened in 1987, the original building was torn down and a new office and shop were built.
