History

Established in 1995.

Brian Davies rented a small shop near downtown Charlotte, off College Street in the old City Toyota dealership. Thus, in 1995, Body Works Plus was born. His father, colonel Joseph Davies, came to work with him and they grew the business on reputation and referrals, which is still the foundation of Body Works Plus. Several years later they purchased the current location in NoDa. Brian continues to grow and currently has 12 members of the Body Works Plus team, delivering 1,500 cars per year. The collision industry is something he enjoys doing and excites him to come to the shop everyday. It’s also what he does best. He’s chosen this industry because he feels he can use his talent, experience, passion, knowledge, drive, and desire to help people to repair cars correctly at a fair price.

Meet the Business Owner

Brian M.

Business Owner

I’m Brian Davies, founder and owner of Body Works Plus. I started in the body shop industry as a young teenager, working at Ski’s Auto World in Fayetteville, NC, a shop my father co-​owned. I started as the low man in the shop, doing odd jobs: sanding, taping, buffing, picking up parts, and anything I could do to learn the business.

By high school I worked afternoons, weekends, and full time during the summer. I learned all aspects of the business — body, paint, mechanical, and frame repair — but my passion was painting and I enjoyed it most.

I attended college to become a mechanical engineer in Charlotte, but still worked holidays and weekends in the shop, often for friends from school. After college I worked for INA, a large German bearing manufacturer in Fort Mill, SC, while continuing to repair cars for friends and coworkers. After 10 years in the bearing manufacturing and design industry, I decided to step out on my own.
