neighbor of Rife's Autobody for as long as we've been in business.

Yes, it's supposed to be upside down. The more noticeable an advertisement
is the more successful it can be. We ran this billboard upside down just to draw
attention. Guess what? It worked! People called us almost daily to let us know.

Charlie Chalupa strikes again! (How he tied the bow-tie we will never know)
********************************************
This billboard appeared downtown in front of a brick wall. The wall in the image
is a picture of the actual wall behind the billboard. I think it looks better on a
computer screen than it does in real life, but it's a pretty neat idea regardless.
********************************************.
This billboard was located on a route heading away from downtown, hopefully
to be seen by people driving home from work. The car in the photo belongs
to a customer. (Thank you for letting us take and use this shot!)

This is one of a series of billboard advertisements that we ran to help raise

Sir Walter Pancakes is possibly the best name ever for a dog! Sir Walter's
keeper works for Hedman Anglin Bara & Associates Insurance & Financial Svcs
in Grandview, and was kind enough to let us feature Sir Walter on a billboard.
********************************************
The idea for this billboard came from Sue who runs the front office at our
Westerville shop. The driver behind the wheel is Mike Troxel, the Manager of
our Grandview shop.
Not to worry-the car was actually sitting
still for the
photo!
*******************************************
This billboard has never come to fruition, but I'm still pushing for it!
More "Dog-Eared" cartoons can be found at www.dogeared.org. Thanks Millard!

Charlie Chalupa mugs for the camera yet again! The car in the background is
a Mercedes-Benz
SL55 AMG, owned by a good customer of Rife's Autobody.
*******************************************
Rife's Autobody is the only collision repair shop in Central Ohio to be Factory
Certified by Jaguar, a fact that we are very proud of!
*****************************************

Rife's goes to great lengths to be environmentally friendly. Not an easy task
for a body shop.
The Frog on this billboard has a secret story behind it. He sits
on my desk as a daily reminder to be kind to my fellow man.
****************************************

I dumped a pile of buckeyes on my desk and took a picture of them, and two
weeks later this billboard was born. Go Bucks!
****************************************
Even after a bad day, Charlie the Chihuahua still thinks I'm a hero. Big shoes to fill.
***************************************

Cars aren't as simple to repair as they once were. Constant training has become
a way of life at Rife's, and we are very proud of the certifications we have earned.

Ollie is a Miniature Pinscher and a proud member of the Rife family along with his

As a professional detailer, Alvin takes his job seriously and really knows how to make
a car look its best. It's not a one man show though, and we tip our hats to all of our
detail technicians. They work hard to see that every car goes out the door standing tall.
**********************************
Who knew Chihuahua's could sail! The photo on this billboard was taken on
Lake Erie, with Head First Mate Charlie Chalupa keeping a watchful eye out.
***********************************
Rife's has an eye for detail, and Pam has the eye we used for this billboard.
You can see the rest of her at the front desk of our Grandview location where
she has worked for several years.

Being a celebrity spokesdog isn't all fun and
play. Charlie spends quite a bit of time working
in front of his computer at the office.
Not a billboard yet, but may be one in the future.
We designed this ad to be displayed on the website of one of the local radio stations.
"Setting the Record Straight" Get it?!
