History

Cockrell's Body Shop was established in 1941 by W. F. "Dick" Cockrell. It was located on Craft Highway in Prichard, Alabama. In 1979, the shop was relocated to Noel Avenue off the I-65 service road.

In 1980, Frank Cockrell took over operations and since that time has moved the shop to its current location on the I-65 east service road, (formerly Springhill Toyota) making Cockrell's one of the largest and most state of the art shops in the southeast.

Cockrell's has grown to include seven shops in south Alabama and west Florida.
