Elite Auto Body, Inc. relocated its Hayes facility into larger quarters in late November.

The new building is located in space that previously housed a muffler shop and a pawn shop. Manager Jeff McCurry said the new location has more than double the space of the previous shop, which was located a short distance south on George Washington Memorial Highway.

Elite specializes in collision repair and painting services for all types of cars and light trucks, both domestic and foreign models, McCurry said. The new shop has 12 service bays and a paint booth. Elite works with many insurance companies to provide quality repair service, McCurry said.

McCurry, who resides at Cobbs Creek, heads a staff of two collision repair technicians, two painters, a service writer, an office manager and a shop attendant.
