About Us | Pete & Sons Body Shop

Our Family Story

Three generations of automotive excellence serving Northwest Georgia

From Humble Beginnings

In 2005, Pete Thompson opened a small auto body shop in Rocky Face with nothing but a dream, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to quality. What started as a one-bay operation has grown into one of Northwest Georgia's most trusted auto body repair centers.

From the beginning, Pete believed that every vehicle that came through our doors deserved the same care and attention he would give his own family car. This philosophy became the foundation of our family business and remains at our core today.

Our Growth Journey:

2005: Opened with single-bay shop
2008: Expanded to three bays
2012: Added paint booth and frame machine
2015: Sons joined the business full-time
2018: Major facility expansion
2020: Added PDR and detailing services
