Craftsman Auto Body Opens 11th Location in Virginia

New shop in Burke includes two repair bays designated for Ford F-150 repair.

Craftsman Auto Body, a third-generation, family-owned collision repairer, announced the opening of its 11th location in Virginia.  

The 30,000-square-foot facility, which has two repair bays dedicated exclusively to Ford F-150 repairs, is located at 5610 Sandy Lewis Drive, in the city of Burke. It will serve Fairfax County, the largest suburban community in Virginia.
 
“For 20 years, my brother John and I have wanted to open a location here – in the neighborhood where we grew up and have so many wonderful memories,” said Paul Krauss, Craftsman Auto Body president and CEO.
“It is very satisfying for us to serve this community where we already have a large customer base.”

Along with 11 collision facilities located throughout Virginia, Craftsman also operates a mechanical shop in Sterling, Va. The company repairs 2,000 vehicles per month through the skill and care of its 275 employees.
