The shop floor at Allens Ave, in their own photos

Every picture here was taken at Ray's Travelers Auto Body: the building, the crew, the bay and the booth. No stock shots. They run in the order a car moves through the shop, from the lot to the lift to the masking tape and the buffing wheel.

Charcoal block, red trim, 299 Allens Ave

Look for the red line round every window and bay door. That, the roof sign and the crew in the doorway are how Providence finds the shop.

Paint prep and the booth

Tape and plastic go on before any color does. These are the stations where a repaired panel gets ready for paint, gets sprayed, and gets polished back into the panels around it.

04Mechanic on staff

Mechanical side

A full-time mechanic works the same floor, so engine bays, lifts and tires sit a few steps from the body work.
