Gary's Paint & Body

Gary's Paint & Body has been on West Marshall Avenue in Longview for a very long time — local directory listings credit the shop with several decades in business, which in the collision trade is close to geological. It is an independent body shop rather than a franchise, and that tends to show up in how the work gets handled. The shop's listed services cover automobile body repair and painting, dent removal, truck body repair and painting, truck painting and lettering, wheel alignment, and frame and axle servicing, along with general auto and truck repair. That combination — bodywork plus frame and alignment plus commercial truck lettering — means a fleet owner and a fender-bender victim can both get taken care of at the same address. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed weekends. Call to get the vehicle looked at and talk through the repair before the insurance paperwork starts steering the conversation.
