About us

Rice’s Auto, a 20,000 square foot facility, was founded over 60 years ago and specializes in automobile insurance claims settlements and pre accident, factory specs collision repairs. For over sixty years Rice’s Auto Painting & Collision works has successfully provided a full range of automobile collision repair and painting. Our success was possible only because every customer is being treated as a member of our family. Thank you for referring us to your friends and neighbors, because our business depends on repeats and referrals. The fact is that every 3 out of 4 cars that we repair are repeats or recommended referrals. Our satisfied customers are always our best salespeople, so our number-one priority here at Rice’s is to see that you, our customer are completely satisfied. We at Rice’s Auto Painting & Collision Works would like to extend our gratitude to you and the people of our fine community. We value your patronage and trust and want to continue serving your automobile needs now and in the future.

Management believes their success and longevity are due to keeping customer’s interests at the top of priority list. “Even though, most repairs are paid by the insurance companies, the owner of the vehicle is always on our mind and his or her interest always comes first.
