Dave Allen, the owner, founder, and operator of Auto Express, was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. After finishing high school ahead of schedule, Dave relocated to Laramie, Wyoming, to attend Wyotech, where he graduated at the top of his class, earning degrees in Collision, Refinishing, and Street Rod & Custom Fabrication. Upon returning to Boise, he spent the next 12 years honing his skills at two prominent auto body shops in the Treasure Valley.


Eager to make a difference for local Idahoans and help consumers save money, Dave conceived the idea for Auto Express—a body shop designed with your needs in mind! Here, you can have your vehicle repaired quickly and affordably while receiving the same high-quality service you'd expect from major body shops.


Whether you have moldings peeling off, need a headlight replaced, a torn bumper fixed, or any other minor damage like a sideswipe or door ding, we've got you covered! With our swift, no-obligation estimates, we can accommodate you at your convenience. Our aim is to return your vehicle to you the same day or the following day. If you've spotted Dave's Jaguar on the road, you'll know we take pride in our vehicle enhancements!


Auto Express is a locally owned and family-run business.


Dave, along with his wife Tara and their kids—Hailey, Deven, Harmony, Zander, and Patrick—invite you to visit us and discover how we can save you time, money, and hassle for all your minor auto body needs!
