RS Automotive began as Dan’s Exxon in Turtle
Creek, PA in 1969. In 1975, Dan Frohlich, with an eye
on the future, purchased property in Plum Borough
and established the business in a 3,600-square-foot
building. The shop was originally known as Antiques, Rods, and
Specialty Works, to capitalize on Dan’s love of building street
rods and classic cars. But as time went on, he began to grow his
business beyond custom vehicles and expanded it to include
general mechanical repairs, along with body work. Over several
years, the building was expanded to over 14,000 square feet and
10 employees. As he neared retirement, Dan began looking for
an exit strategy. The sale of the business to his stepdaughter and
son-in-law, LeeAnne and Chris Walko, took place in 2010 and
they have expanded it to 17 employees and nearly doubled the
yearly revenue.

Your damage analysis will start with one of our three PA
State licensed appraisers taking detailed notes of the damage.
This information will be entered into a computerized estimating
system, which will itemize every step of the repair process. From
there, we will schedule your repairs to fit your schedule.
Once your car enters the facility for repairs, highly trained
technicians will take over, using specialized tools and equipment
to straighten damaged panels. If your vehicle requires frame
straightening or welding, ARS Automotive has the latest tools
to make sure your vehicle is restored to safe, pre-accident
condition. Sherwin Williams finishes are used to bring back your
vehicle’s shine. All colors are formulated on-site to match your
vehicle’s original color. Finally, the repairs are re-inspected and
the vehicle is thoroughly cleaned inside and out.
ARS Automotive also provides full-service mechanical repairs
and maintenance for your vehicle. They offer computerized
wheel alignments, exhaust work, oil changes, PA state safety
and emissions testing, AC service, and much more. Their
