Frank J Latin grew up in Madison, Ohio. From an early age he developed an interest in cars and by the age of 13 he was taking cars apart. He later attended the Auburn Career Center in Painesville for two years. His field of study was auto body repair.

When starting his career, Frank worked alongside experienced auto body technicians in multiple dealerships. Those professionals taught him auto body techniques, ranging from the basics to advanced processes. They provided mentorship as Frank developed his own skills and committed to a career in auto body restoration.

Frank always dreamed of owning a successful auto repair company, and that dream came true when he opened Frank’s Auto Body in 1993. He benefited from the love and support of his family while working through the growing stages of his budding business.

Today, Frank serves on the Advisory Board Committee at the Auburn Career Center. He offers internships for students learning his trade through the career center, providing entry-level opportunities for future auto technicians. He’s also passionate about animals and participates in multiple charity events every year. Many animal shelters and rescue operations benefit from the fundraiser sponsored by Frank’s Auto Body every year.

When he isn’t restoring cars or giving back to his community, you may find Frank cruising the scenic routes on his motorcycle. Give him a wave if you see him around town. He enjoys getting to know members of the Madison community.
