Jessup Auto Plaza is Coachella Valley’s Only Dealer-Owned, Dealer-Operated & Dealer-Housed Body Sh

July 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Cathedral City, CA – Coachella Valley drivers deserve nothing but the highest level of competence, skill, and training when it comes to the repair of their vehicles. This is especially true after a collision. Jessup Auto Plaza is the only new car dealership in the entire Coachella Valley that owns and manages its own comprehensive body shop on-site, rather than renting shop space to an outside company. As such, it is the region’s premiere provider of automotive body shop care and facilities that set an industry standard.

Jessup Auto Plaza, a leading Coachella Valley GM dealership, has been a part of the valley community for 72 years, and their GM Auto Body Center has been in operation since 1962. At their state of the art facility, a team of factory-trained technicians treats each vehicle with the highest standard of care. The Jessup Auto Body Center is qualified to work on all makes and models, commercial work vehicles, and high end exotics. The dealership's website is located at http://www.jessupautoplaza.com and can be consulted to schedule an appointment or contact the dealership directly.

“Our priorities with the Body Shop are simple: to maintain excellent workmanship, backed by the Jessup family for the lifetime of your ownership of the vehicle, and to set an industry standard with our facility. At the same time, we aim to simplify and streamline the process between insured and insurance company,” said Andy Jessup, Jr., General Manager and grandson of the company’s founder.

That means keeping state-of-the art facilities and a top-notch team. The shop maintains the most contemporary and advanced repair and paint equipment in the industry, and its trained and experienced painters and metal-frame-body technicians maintain all training certifications required by most manufacturers and the Body Shop Industry.

“But it also means keeping ice cream and Starbucks coffee on hand to provide a little relief in what could otherwise be a pretty stressful day for a customer,” Andy Jessup, Jr., added. “We understand that automotive troubles can be personally jarring, so we treat the customer just as well as we treat their vehicle.”

Many of the shop’s additional services are aimed at assisting customers while their car is in the care of Jessup Auto Body Center’s technicians. The company provides free towing, free estimates, and valley-wide vehicle pickup and delivery. There are loaner vehicles available for most  on-site car rental. All makes and models are serviced, and all major insurance companies are accepted. More information on these services is found at http://www.jessupautoplaza.com.

“We also make it a point to handle as many of the details as possible,” said Dan Jessup, the dealership’s General Sales Manager. “Once a customer lets the insurance company know where their car’s been taken, we’ll take it from there. The customer remains fully informed about their car’s status, yet they don’t have to put their lives on hold to figure out the logistics.”

Workmanship at the Jessup Auto Body Center is backed by the Jessup family, is I-CAR certified, and GM factory certified and approved. The shop is the only within the Coachella Valley to be owned and operated directly by a dealership and housed on dealership property. For more information, visit http://www.jessupautoplaza.com.
