Emilio Arco, Jr. established Arco’s Auto Body on July 15, 1983 at the age of 18. He originally opened an 800 sq. foot facility in South San Francisco. As a young innovative entrepreneur his dream was to see a quality, clean, educated, professional image portrayed by a repair facility in the Bay Area.
