Meet the Team – Neighbourhood Auto

Steve & Paul Ash

Owner & Manager

This father and son owner/manager collaboration has been teamed up in the shop for 30 years. Growing up, Paul used to wash cars and clean the yard for extra pocket change until 2004 when he decided to take an interest in the shop management side of things. Steve has been involved in the collision repair industry since he was a teenager. He was a collision repair tech through the 70’s and a body shop manager in Vancouver, BC for most of the 80’s. Steve moved his family up to the Okanagan in the Winter of 1989 and that is when the Neighbourhood Auto Body legacy began.
