With a 25 years of experience in the auto body collision repair business, Rick Youra and his wife Leslie, acquired Autobody Specialists at 2961 Hwy 32, Chico in March 2001.  In just a few months time, their workload demanded that they hire an additional body technician to handle the needs of the rapidly growing business.  Soon after, an estimator joined the team.  We’ve come a long way since then; through training, computer management and a vision for enhanced customer service.
In December of 2006 we moved the shop to a brand new facility bringing new energy into the business.  The new shop is located at 2910 Highway 32 #900, Chico.  The organization consists of three estimators, 3 body technicians, two painters, a full time mechanic and detail person, making Autobody Specialists one of the only full-service repair facilities.  Currently, the Autobody Specialists team is comprised of over 13 employees, with three family members in the business. 
With numerous Direct Repair Programs and repeat customer referrals as well as new customers, Autobody Specialists is continually growing and meeting the challenges of the future.
