The Start. |
In 1980 John Harms came out of trucking to be near home and started working in his Uncle William’s shop, “Willies Auto Body.” There he discovered and mastered his talents as a body and frame repairman. After some time Willie sold his shop and John went to work for another shop for the next month. While employed at this shop John felt he could accomplish more out on his own. Thus was the start of his own shop in North Spokane. |
In the summer of 1985 John built himself a new shop on Campbell Rd in Otis Orchards where he currently resides now. That same year John purchased a frame machine and went to the Chief’s Training Center in Indian to be properly certified. Over the next few years, John’s reputation as a competent, fair and well respected auto body and frame repairman would grow. |
Early 1990’s John started working on Semi-truck's to give trucking company's a quicker turn-around in Spokane. This resulted in him repairing Semi-truck's alongside small vehicles. Besides doing a plenty of fleet work, over the years John also did many Owner Operator tractors. Many of which say they would have no one, but John, work on their trucks. |
