• Memorial Day

      On February 7th, 2007, Marine Corporal Jennifer Parcell was killed in Anbar province, Iraq when a woman she was searching at a checkpoint detonated an explosive vest. This was my first real experience with losing another service member, and one I’ll never forget. I remember the first time I met Parcell. We were both

  • Car Show for a Great Cause

    Have you heard? JP’s Collision Center is reinstating their annual car show and they’re going to donate 100% of the donations made this year to the Operation Zero- Veteran Suicide Prevention, PCR organization. As anyone who is familiar with JP and his family will know, they are passionate about our military and veteran communities. Military

  • Attention to Detail-ing

    It happens. Humans are very busy creatures. You have 100,457,933 things to do before the day is over, and sometimes those things that are piling up on the back burner get neglected. Like, for a long time. Things like getting your cavity filled, scrubbing your bathtub…. and cleaning and washing your car. Sound familiar? Let’s

  • Headlamp Restoration

    Everything ages. We do, our dogs do, and so do our vehicle’s headlamps. Fear not though, because JP’s has a solution… at least for that last one. Have you ever been driving at night down that dark back road, studded with potholes, deer, and the occasional creepy shadow that could possibly turn out to be

  • 1998 Fleetwood Bounder

    Every project that we have the honor of working on presents its own unique requirements and challenges; that’s what makes our jobs fun! This motorhome was no exception to that rule, and we pulled out all of the stops to ensure both the satisfaction of our customer and the delivery of an exceptionally finished product.

  • 1983 Chevy Camaro Z28

        This American-made beauty was only in need of a little of the right kind of personal attention! Equipped with an appreciation for maintaining beautifully made things, a keen eye, and an impeccable sense of attention to detail, our Tyler Sieverts (AKA “Kid Rock”) really made the interior of this Camaro come (back) to

  • Mother Nature was Confused

    If you’re anything like me, you are currently praying that mother nature figures her stuff out and/or gets back on her medication. Hopefully, that last burst of winter was it and we can now begin thinking about summer. She did do us a favor in disguise though because her indecisiveness has bought us a few

  • Truly a Triumph!

    The warmer seasons are upon us! The cherry blossoms are in full swing and the lawns are finally ready for the first mow of the season. I can smell the grass clippings now! Don’t do what I’ve done before as a motorcycle owner and wait until the day before you want to break it out

  • “Forget about it!”

        What’s that sound I hear? Sounds like freedom to me! (Insert bald eagles cawing the National Anthem here.) This brand-new hitch trailer was brought down to JP’s by a New York native with a thick accent, and a request for all-American graphics and a fresh paint job to match the existing paint on

  • One Happy Devil Dog

    This is the story of a disgruntled Marine with a Subaru Outback that had previously leaked from every possible place, making her wonder why they don’t make incontinence diapers for cars and contemplate the logistics and repercussions of setting it on fire. She spent more money on refilling depleting fluids, kitty litter for the driveway
