"The" Body Shop was founded by Bill Mitchell in 1970. 
As a child, Bill spent his days watching his father rebuild classic cars. It was during this time that Bill learned the value of every automobile, and learned how the right care and knowledge could extend the life and performance of any car or truck.

In 1952, Bill graduated from high school and he decided to enter Law Enforcement, where he spent ten years as a City of Austin policeman.  In 1970 he returned to his roots in the auto body repair industry.  "The" Body Shop was born.

Although Bill learned the most advanced techniques in auto body repair, he never forgot the lessons he learned from his father all those years ago.  His father used to repair and restore cars for friends and neighbors; asking for little compensation in return. Bill never forgot the gratitude of those his father helped.  He never forgot the warm feeling he felt every time his father would deliver a restored vehicle to someone who couldn't afford a new one. Bill was determined to honor his father by opening a business that would truly offer value to the community. He promised himself to always provide value and outstanding service, regardless of how large his business grew.

Bill opened "The" Body Shop in 1970. Since then he has been providing excellent service and offering outstanding value to neighbors throughout the Austin area. Bring you car in today for a free inspection and see what "The" Body Shop No Hassle Guarantee is all about!
