Our Story
Al's Body and Customs: Excellence in Auto Body and Custom Restoration
At Al's Body and Customs, family is at the heart of everything we do. Founded in Winterset, IA, in 2022, our shop was born from a lifelong passion for auto body work and a desire to create a business that reflects our family values. With over 35 years of hands-on experience in the industry, our owner has worked for both dealerships and independent shops, honing his craft to deliver flawless results. Opening his own shop allowed him not only to showcase his expertise but also to bring his family into the business, creating a unique, personal touch for every customer.
When you call Al's Body and Customs, you’ll first hear the friendly voice of Bea, our owner’s mom, who ensures every inquiry is handled with warmth and professionalism. Behind the scenes, his daughter Alyse works directly with insurance companies, making the claims process smooth and stress-free. Together, we pride ourselves on providing small-town, family-owned service combined with exceptional craftsmanship. Every vehicle that comes through our doors receives the care and attention it deserves.
Our specialization in full custom auto restoration sets us apart. Whether you’re looking to restore a classic car to showroom condition or create a one-of-a-kind custom build, we bring skill, precision, and passion to every project. Beyond custom restorations, we offer a comprehensive range of auto body services, including collision repair, dent removal, color matching, paint correction, headlight and taillight restoration, glass replacement, bed liner installation, and paintless dent repair (PDR), ensuring your vehicle looks and functions its best.
At Al's Body and Customs, quality is never compromised. We use industry-leading products such as AkzoNobel and Sherwin Williams Ultra 9K to guarantee superior finishes and long-lasting results. No matter the size of the job, our team approaches each project with precision, professionalism, and the pride of a family-run business.
Serving not only Winterset but also neighboring communities like Adel, Earlham, and Truro, we aim to provide every customer with an auto restoration experience that exceeds expectations.

Wanted to express our sincere appreciation to Al and his team for the fantastic job they did on our Toyota Avalon… we thought for sure it was done for … but with some suggestions from Al during the claims process.
