Specialties
Our Dawson Drive shop in Newark, formerly Richmond's Automotive Artistry. Family-owned collision repair since 1976, for everything from daily drivers to exotics. We repair to the manufacturer's published procedures with OEM parts, and every damaged panel comes off the car for refinishing so the paint matches the factory finish. We work with all insurance companies and self-pay customers, help arrange towing and a rental, and handle the claim for you. Every repair is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty, and estimates are always free.
History
Established in 1976.
Bill Moppert Jr. opened his first shop in West Chester, PA in 1974, fixing cars he had been teaching himself to repair since he was 16. In 1976 he brought in his two younger brothers and incorporated, and the business grew to shops in Lansdowne, Morton and Blue Bell, PA and Turnersville, NJ. This Dawson Drive shop, formerly Richmond's Automotive Artistry, joined Moppert Auto Collision in 2023. Today Bill and his children Billy, Ashley and Greg run four shops: Turnersville and Swedesboro, NJ, and Ogletown and Newark, DE.
Meet the Business Owner: William M.
Bill Moppert Jr. got his start at 16, when his grandfather gave him a 1956 Chevrolet that didn't run. He bought repair manuals with paper-route money and taught himself to fix it. He went on to study automotive design at Widener, and while working at Pathmark to pay for school, managers had him fixing their cars in the store's garage. That led him to open his own shop in 1974. Today Bill runs Moppert Auto Collision with his children Billy, Ashley and Greg.
