About Us  Spruce Hill Body Shop is actually a business descendant of
Houser's Body Shop of Milroy, Pa. That business has been in
constant operation since 1969 and is presently managed by Craig E,
HOUSER and his son C.J. Houser's Body Shop was the life
long ambition of Charles Houser. The business was established
after Charles resigned from Shelley Pontiac Cadillac as the body
Shop Manager and moved his toolbox ... to his newly built garage on
Woodlawn Avenue in Milroy. In the years that followed, Charles
taught his sons the trade. Chuck, the oldest of the four sons,
found himself in Juniata Co., as a result of a State Police
Promotion and officially opened Spruce Hill Body Shop in the summer
of 1995. Craig has been very helpful over the years in
teaching and advising Chuck, and the two shops have assisted each
other in countless ways. The two brothers remain close today
and often depend on their other 2 brothers, Ken Houser of Milroy and
Jason Houser of Burnham to help handle the work load.

of Milroy, Pa. primes a bus, owned by a church, during the summer of
1978.
TO THE RIGHT: Craig works on a 1968
Mustang in the summer of 1982. Craig is just 18 years old at
the time, but has been repairing and painting cars for 5 years.
Chuck Houser founded Spruce Hill Body Shop in the summer of 1995
after moving to Juniata County in 1994. The original garage
that he worked in is now the frame room. Chuck wanted to share
his enjoyment of body work with his 2 sons, Chad and Zach.
Word seemed to spread and the business became busy and soon both
sons were working along with their father just as he had with his
dad. Chuck is still the primary painter and estimator, but
Chad and Zach are now the primary repairers in the shop.
TO THE LEFT: Chad and Zach discuss what to have for
lunch. It is already 10:00 AM and they are getting
hungry.
