Christy Jones, Owner R Jones Collision 1 Des Moines IA

My father Bob Jones was an active Board Member of the ICRA and very involved in the passing of the successful sales tax legislation on paint and material sales. I am honored to continue the legacy and to be the owner of R Jones Collision 1. I support the ICRA and bring my employees to the education, meetings and trade show. Industry involvement is part of our success and instills a strong sense of pride in the entire crew.”
Dale Wilgenbusch Co-Owner, Avalon Body Shop, Rickardsville, IA

The ICRA is here to represent all the shops in Iowa, large and small. We need your participation and assistance to do this. As a past President of the ICRA, I want to take this opportunity to ask for you support and participation. Association members are informed and adapting to latest trends, in part, to the Iowa Collision Repair Association. That is what will help us prosper in the future. By joining the ICRA, you and your business will be helping to strengthen the Iowa collision repair Industry!”
