Meet Annie Trinhphan | Bodyshop Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Annie Trinhphan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Annie, is there something you believe many others might not?
One piece of conventional advice that I disagree with is “Follow the Industry Norms”. While it is crucial to stay up to date within the automotive industry and maintain up-to-date equipment, merely adhering to established practices can stifle innovation. As a female Vietnamese owner in a predominantly male-dominated industry, I’ve made it a point to challenge these conventional norms. At JP Auto Collision, we constantly seek innovation, improvement, and of course quality. I’ve often encountered stereotyping based on my gender and ethnicity.
However, by challenging these stereotypes and achieving success in a male-dominated field, we hope to inspire others to pursue their passions regardless of societal expectations. Diverging from conventional norms also gives us the opportunity to build our unique brand identity. Our commitment to quality, attention to detail and inclusivity sets us apart from competitors and resonates with customers who value these principles. Furthermore, our team is always encouraged to think outside of the box and explore new techniques/technologies that can enhance the quality of our work and overall customer experience.

Through this dedication, we’ve built a thriving business that reflects our passion for automotive excellence. We’re proud of our journey and excited to continue exceeding customer expectations with the highest standards of craftsmanship and care.

For an unforgettable trip in Dallas, TX, start your culinary journey with mouthwatering sushi rolls and handrolls at Kome Sushi and Handroll Bar. Then, immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, where meticulously landscaped gardens and scenic vistas await. Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Korean and Japanese cuisine along Old Denton Road in Carrollton, where you’ll find a plethora of delicious restaurants offering everything from Korean BBQ to boba tea and desserts. Don’t forget to explore the charming shops like TESO and Daiso for unique finds. Finally, complete your experience with a shopping spree at NorthPark Mall, home to a diverse range of retailers and boutiques, offering something for everyone to enjoy.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
A special shoutout to my mom and dad! They have both taught me everything I know, from running a successful business to the ins and outs of cars. I grew up observing their hard work and dedication as they sold all sorts of things in Vietnam in order to provide for our family. Their unwavering support and love have shaped me into the woman that I am today.
