History
Robert Lowery opened the first Colors on Parade in 1988 in South Carolina. He decided to channel his interest in restoring classic cars into providing high-quality, cost-effective body repair services on customers' own premises. He put his knowledge of car restoration into developing effective repair processes. Initially, Colors on Parade offered services to dealerships and rental fleets. Its selling point was that it could provide convenient, on-site services that would increase vehicle value while remaining cost-effective.
In 1991, Colors on Parade began franchising its mobile units. Since then, the company has sustained a steady rate of growth, eventually opening 250 locations throughout 31 states. Recently, the company began offering services to individual car owners, who can now enjoy the convenience of having their body repair technician come to them.
Both Colors on Parade and its founder Robert Lowery have gained substantial industry recognition. Colors on Parade has been ranked among top franchises. Mr. Lowery has also received several awards and holds seven patents relating to automobile body restoration.
