Our History

The History of
Cavallo Auto Body

Founded

1958

Drexel Hill, PA

Cavallo Auto Body began in 1958 when Joe Cavallo of Drexel Hill set out to create an experience with a body shop a little different than what people were accustomed to — great customer service, superior workmanship, and a clean, professional environment.

Our Legacy

Over 60 Years of Excellence

For over 60 years, Cavallo has been proudly restoring damaged vehicles — all makes and all models — throughout Philadelphia and the Tri-State area to manufacturer-specified condition.

We do not use cheap aftermarket replacement parts for your repair. Rather, we use parts that were incorporated with the original specifications of your vehicle — because your car deserves nothing less.
