Leadership & Legacy
In 1977, our founder Ray Galvin, endeavored to bring a full-service auto body repair shop to Huntington Beach. From the ground up, Ray built Skill Craft and worked tirelessly to see it become a well-known, highly reputable body shop. Ray took pride in Skill Craft and its employees, and was known for coming into the shop daily well into his 70’s.
Ray took pride in his city, sponsoring community events and investing in local schools. From its humble beginnings 45 years ago. Skill Craft has come to be recognized as one of Orange County’s premier collision repair shops, with multiple service and performance awards and consistently high customer satisfaction ratings.
Ray will be remembered for his hard work, kindness, and sense of humor. It is our goal to remain true to his vision and continue to make him proud.
