Our Story & Mission
From a small garage operation to Massachusetts' most trusted auto painting specialists. Discover the passion and craftsmanship that drives JKLakeAutoPaint.
The JKLakeAutoPaint Journey
What began as Tyler West's weekend passion for automotive restoration has evolved into New England's premier custom auto painting service. Founded in 2010 in a small garage behind his family's Lake Farms property, JKLakeAutoPaint has grown from a one-man operation to a team of dedicated professionals serving customers across Massachusetts and beyond.
Our founder's journey started with a 1967 Mustang that needed complete restoration. After struggling to find quality paint work locally, Tyler decided to learn the craft himself. What began as a personal project soon attracted neighbors and friends, each amazed by the attention to detail and finish quality.
Today, we operate from our state-of-the-art facility in Ipswich, combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Every vehicle that enters our shop receives the same meticulous attention that made that first Mustang restoration a masterpiece.
