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.”
