About Us

Established in 1974, Harper's Paint and Body was founded by Billy Harper, who moved from Ohio and opened the business on June 1st, 1974. Through hard work and a commitment to doing things right, Billy built a strong reputation across Central Florida - driven almost entirely by word of mouth.

When it came time for Billy to retire, he trusted the future of the business to Fred Nicholas, who took ownership in 2002. With now 46 years of experience in the industry, Fred continues to carry on that same dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Alongside his son Zach, they have built lasting relationships with customers and take pride in every repair - regardless of the condition of vehicle.
