Thane Myers

Partner

A native of Lantz, Thane began work in auto body repair as a young man, and enjoyed it so much he eventually “took the trade” at the Colchester Regional Vocational College in Truro.  He completed his MVRT (Motor Vehicle Repair Technician), qualifications in 1981 and went to work for a local auto body shop to gain practical experience.  In 1988 he and co-worker Robert Wilson decided it was time to strike out on their own and they opened R/T Auto Body on Isenor Road in Lantz.  As business grew they eventually moved to the current location in Elmsdale. 

Despite spending most of his work time in a garage, Thane is a keen outdoorsman, and enjoys fishing & hunting in his spare time.

Robert Wilson

Partner

Another “lad from Lantz” Robert also had an early interest in auto body work.  Like Thane he became qualified as a MVRT at the Truro Vocational College and then put in many years learning the practical application of the trade.  He worked with Thane at a local shop until they were ready to set up in business for themselves in Lantz.  It wasn’t long before they outgrew their original shop and moved to the current location in Elmsdale, which itself underwent substantial expansion in 2003.  Today, Robert is recognized by his peers in the trade as a local expert; he has even assisted in re-writing & updating the Motor Vehicle Painting Technician exam for the Vocational College!

Like Thane, he is an avid woodsman, enjoying hunting and fishing for relaxation.

Mary Ann Myers

Office Manager

Also born and raised in Lantz, Mary Ann was a “stay at home mom” when husband Thane decided to open an auto body shop with partner Robert.  Mary Ann was invited to run the office and now handles all calls, reception, bookings and accounting for the company.  As her participation in the company grew she took her certification in the Shoplink, Photolink and ADPE (internet based) estimation software, and is now one of our qualified estimators.  

It’s Mary Ann whom you’ll deal with when you first call or drop into the shop; and great customer service is one of her top priorities!
