Austin, Texas – January 4, 2006 – B&B Body and Paint announced today the opening of their newest ‘state-of-the-art’ auto collision center at 7501 South IH-35 in Austin, Texas (between William Cannon and Slaughter Road in the northbound service road).

Referred to as Austin South, this 21,000 square foot facility replaced the outdated B&B Body and Paint location on Shelby Lane. As the flagship of the four B&B Body and Paint facilities, every effort was made to insure this location reflects not only the B&B commitment to their customers, but also a facility that reflects the B&B Body and Paint commitment to the Austin environment and community.

As you drive into the parking area, you are struck by the attention to detail owners Craig and Kyle Van Cleve demanded when designing and building this facility. The entire property was professionally landscaped. The architect, Terry Brewer and builder, TEGRUS Construction designed and completed a building that will stand out and be an inspiration to other Austin businesses for its clean professional image and design. Ecological impact was just as important. As owner, Kyle Van Cleve said, “we committed an area of approximately one acre to the south, as catch ponds, to hold any rain run-off to purify the water in stages before it gets into the Austin creeks and aquifers”. “Inside the shop”, Van Cleve noted, “Because we are dealing with paint and other chemicals, we have bought and installed the most environmentally friendly paint booths available – for the protection of our craftsmen’s health and the environment. “

B&B Body and Paint is committed to their customers. “B&B Body and Paint has been in Austin since 1974, we have a responsibility to our customers” Owner Craig Van Cleve declared. “There’s an old saying, If you do a good job for your customer, they tell three of their friends if you do a bad job, they tell ten of their friends. We built our reputation on taking care of each and every customer from the moment they call or stop by and follow up long after they pick up their repaired vehicle – we mean 100% Customer Satisfaction.” Van Cleve went on to say: “Our front office staff is professional from the customer service representatives to the estimators who work with you from start to finish. Our repair craftsmen are well trained at their respective skills and are required to undergo continuing education and certification on their job skills. At B&B Body and Paint, every vehicle we repair is warranted for as long as you own your car. We make every effort to repair your car to its factory specifications before it’s returned to you.” As a convenience to our customers there is an Enterprise Rent-a Car on site.

This flagship location will be managed by Mr. Kevin Rigdon. For additional information please call our South Austin location at: 442-0461.
