If you live in Council Grove, Kansas, Hillsboro Body Shop is about a 50-minute drive to the west. While that is a bit farther than the nearest town, drivers from Morris County have consistently told us the trip is worth it for the quality of work and the way they are treated. Whether you need collision repair after a wreck, hail damage taken care of before winter, or a fresh paint job to restore your car's appearance, we have the tools and the know-how to deliver outstanding results.
Where the Santa Fe Trail Began in Earnest
Council Grove holds one of the richest histories of any small town in Kansas. It served as the last reliable supply point on the Santa Fe Trail — the place where wagon trains stocked up before heading into open, unsettled territory. The town gets its name from an 1825 treaty negotiated with the Osage Nation beneath a large oak tree, known ever since as the "Council Oak." With a population of around 2,100 and the seat of Morris County, Council Grove has preserved that history with care, from the Kaw Mission State Historic Site to the Hays House, one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants west of the Mississippi. We admire that kind of commitment to doing things well and keeping them going. It is the same philosophy we bring to our shop — careful work, built to last.
