A Strong Foundation
In August 1990, Andy & Audrey Stinson acquired an established commercial property in Willow Street, PA (formerly Enck's Meat & Cheese). With the purchase began a remodeling project – converting solid concrete meat lockers, an office, and a two-bay garage into a functional automotive collision repair facility. Andy opened his door in March 1991; he was the secretary, collision technician, and painter.
Andy’s dedication to completing work right the first time brought many customers to his door, and word of mouth soon grew his business. By the fall of 1992, a 2400-square foot collision repair facility was being completed. Adding employees to the business became a continual process. Mechanical service began as a way to introduce new people to the business & grow their trust in us.
Embracing the Future
Andy & Audrey’s sons found an interest in the family business. Aaron developed a love for the collision repair industry, where, from an early age, he admired and closely observed his father as he completed tasks. Completing his education through Andy’s apprenticeship, Aaron is now the collision department manager. Adam completed a two-year associate degree in Automotive Technology at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. His knowledge of theory & experience enable him to lead the mechanics department at A & A.
To enable A & A to grow, a new facility was completed in January 2013. The business has grown from a two-bay garage into a full, multi-departmental automotive repair shop dedicated to completing the job right the first time. The Stinson family, along with their employees, sees a bright future for A & A.
Our growth led to the purchase of a second location in Quarryville, PA, with the addition of automotive sales. While focusing on car sales and an unsettled economy, we struggled to maintain the staff and resources needed to properly serve both locations. After several attempts to operate both locations, we closed our Quarryville location in 2023 to reallocate resources and focus on Willow Street for our collision and mechanical departments.
The Second Generation
Beginning in 2025, A & A leadership transitioned to the next generation – Aaron and Adam Stinson. Both focus on new technology and a commitment to quality in all automotive repairs. In an ever-changing industry, new service and repair procedures are being adopted to meet the needs of today’s vehicles. Repair complexity, such as advanced diagnostics and system calibrations, is common, but we are here to serve all these automotive needs!
