Our Story
A Family Business Rooted in Modesto Since 2006
Pabco Precision Auto Body wasn't built overnight. It was built by two people who believe in hard work, honesty, and doing things the right way — every time. Since opening our doors in Modesto in 2006, we've grown from a small family shop into one of the most fully equipped collision repair centers in Stanislaus County.
What hasn't changed is who we are. We're still family-owned, still community-focused, and still treating every customer and every vehicle with the care and precision that defines everything we do.
We're not a chain. We're not a franchise. We're your neighbors — and that means something to us
Meet the Founder
Marcial Chavous ,Marine Veteran, Car Enthusiast, Community Builder, Father
Marcial Chavous
Owner & Founder
US Marine Corps Veteran
Modesto resident since 1990s
Passion for cars since age 15
Growing Up in Salinas
Marcial enlisted and served six years in the United States Marines, including time as a sniper instructor. The discipline, precision, and attention to detail he developed in the Corps became the foundation of how Pabco operates to this day — every repair treated with military-grade standards.
Settling in Modesto
After his service, Marcial settled in Modesto — a community he quickly called home. He brought his passion for automotive craftsmanship back to the forefront, building the knowledge, skills, and reputation that would eventually lead him to purchase Pabco.
2006 — Pabco Precision Auto Body
In 2006 Marcial purchased Pabco Precision Auto Body and opened the doors to what would become Modesto's most trusted family-owned collision repair shop. His Marine-trained precision, combined with his lifelong passion for cars, gave Pabco an edge that no chain shop could replicate.
Today
Marcial still runs Pabco with the same hands-on dedication he brought on day one. He's involved in every major repair decision, sets the standard for quality, and remains the backbone of everything Pabco stands for in the Modesto community.
Meet the Co-Owner
Gloria Chavez — The Heart of the Operation
Behind every great shop is someone who keeps everything running smoothly. For Pabco, that's Gloria. Growing up in Salinas, CA, Gloria learned the value of hard work from an early age a foundation that prepared her for everything that running a family business demands.
With a background in computer science, Gloria brings a level of organization, technology awareness, and operational precision to Pabco that sets the shop apart. While Marcial leads the craftsmanship side, Gloria ensures the customer experience, administrative operations, and business systems run at the same high standard.
Together, Marcial and Gloria have built something rare in the auto body industry a shop where technical excellence and genuine customer care exist under the same roof. Modesto has been their home for over two decades, and Pabco is their commitment to this community.
