We're excited to be a part of this Saturday's car show at the Nevada County Fairgrounds— “Cruisin’ the Pines” hosted by Roamin Angels Car Club! We are proud to help sponsor the event and we'll even have some of our family cars in the show.

Take advantage of the cooler weather and come check out some cool cars while supporting the local car community!

Did you know we’ve been repairing vehicles in Nevada County for over 70 years?

Tripp’s Auto Body was founded by Arlie Weslie Tripp in 1954. He moved to Nevada County after previously living in Oregon and relocating with his wife, Clara, and their five children (later welcoming a sixth child, Darrol Tripp).

The shop was originally located at 127 Stewart Street in the heart of Grass Valley as pictured in the aerial photo below.

After three generations of family ownership, we feel incredibly blessed and grateful for each and every customer who walks through our doors!

How many years have you been a customer?

We wanted to let everyone know that our main phone line is currently down. We are using a temporary phone line, but it only has one incoming line.

If you call and get a busy signal, please wait a moment and try again. We appreciate your patience while we work to get our regular phone service restored!

You might notice something a little different the next time you drive past our shop! We've given our building's exterior a much-needed facelift to keep things looking sharp.

Our classic red pillars have officially traded in their old coat for a sleek, modern gray. While our outside received an upgrade, inside it's the same reliable, top-tier service you've always trusted us with.

Stop by and check it out next time you are in the area or if you are in need of some TLC to get your car looking as fresh as our updated exterior!

Happy 4th of July weekend from all of us at Tripp's Auto Body!

Just a quick reminder that our shop is closed today, Friday, July 3rd, so our team can enjoy the holiday with their families. We will resume our normal business hours on Monday.

Whether you are heading out on a road trip or celebrating right here in town, we hope you have a fantastic, relaxing, and safe Independence Day.

We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you when we return. Enjoy the fireworks, and stay safe on the roads!

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at Tripp’s Auto Body or what the paint booth, our lobby, or the tech stalls look like?

We are opening things up and giving you a look at the back of the shop. We set up a virtual Google tour so you can check out exactly where we do all of our repairs and view some of our team members in action!

From our paint booth to the stage!

Our team took a little detour from our usual automotive repairs to paint this custom guitar. We gave it that signature quality finish, and it is officially ready for its next show.

Want to see it in action? Catch it making its live debut with the band at the Tack Room in Penn Valley this Friday night!
