Abra Auto Body & Glass was founded in 1984 by Roland D. Benjamin in Fridley, Minnesota. Initially known as Auto Body Refinishers of America, the company quickly expanded due to its commitment to providing high-quality auto body and glass repair services with a focus on customer satisfaction. By 1989, Abra had incorporated auto glass repair into its services, becoming Abra Auto Body & Glass.

Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Abra Auto Body & Glass has built a reputation for its exceptional service and state-of-the-art repair technology. The company offers a comprehensive range of services, including collision repair, auto glass replacement, and paintless dent repair.

Abra's mission is to repair damaged vehicles "Right the First Time, On Time®," ensuring a hassle-free experience for its customers. This dedication to quality and customer care has made Abra one of the most recommended auto body repair companies in America.

Abra began franchising in 1984, shortly after its inception. The company’s franchise model emphasizes the use of modern, high-tech equipment and highly trained staff to deliver superior customer service. Each Abra location is designed to provide a clean and welcoming environment, further differentiating the company from its competitors.
