Celina Custom Auto is a full service body shop with over 50 years experience combined.
We guarantee customer satisfaction in every job we do and can provide numerous references
as proof.
From collision to restoration we can provide whatever your vehicle needs and vehicle
does not only mean a car. From motor homes to motorcycles, no job is too large or
too small for us. We enjoy the variability that work on various makes and models,
both new and old can provide. We have restored fiberglass and wood boats, tractors,
motorcycles, cars, trucks and even a couple old safes. Stop and see some of our
more creative projects or visit our portfolio page.
In the past 10 years we have focused some of our energy towards steel and fiberglass
fabrication and really enjoy building kit cars from the ground up. Under projects
we have a few pictures of a Shelby Cobra replica and a Sebring MX both built from
scratch in our shop. At any point in time we have about 5-6 projects in various
stages of completion, so stop in to see what we are up to.

garage at the age of 13 or so. Now with 30 years of experience, Jeff has fixed just

Shelby Cobra he promises will be ready to drive in 2010!
Thad Gross from St. John’s, Ohio joined Jeff about 2 years ago and is one great
airbrush artist. He demands perfection in every project he touches treating every
car as if it was an art project. When he has time he is fabricating out of fiberglass,
such as a custom motorcycle helmet to show off his paint skills.
