Years Serving Tucson
Absolutely Satisfied Clients
John started 1st business and named it Sewell Custom Paint. His business offered custom graphics & complete refinishing of fine automobiles. He also offered custom painting for new trucks, Corvettes, etc. for Matthews Chevrolet.
Formula 1 moved into a brand-new building located at 596 E 23rd St in Tucson. Though still very much in the custom paint world, Formula 1 was making a move into collision repair on mostly exotic vehicles.
The older of the brothers, Johnny Sewell, is a Partner & General Manager of the Sewells’ sister company, Hi-Speed Rods & Customs. The custom shop was started because of Johnny’s passion for custom painting. It has made John so proud that his boys have carried on the Sewell name as he gets to watch both companies continue to grow and succeed.
Today, Formula 1 Collision Center has a reputation as one of the top collision & paint shops in the Tucson, Arizona area. In addition to working on all makes and models of vehicles, Formula 1 is also a Certified Subaru Collision Center and a Volvo Certified Collision Facility. QUALITY is never sacrificed, COURTESY is afforded to everyone under their care and the CUSTOMER always comes first!
What Clients Say
We are always happy to hear your honest opinion about our service and the experience that you get at our shop!
From the first call until I picked up the car, Formula One was the best experience with auto body work that I’ve experienced. They handled all the details with my insurance and rental car and had the car completely detailed. On schedule, great work, and excellent customer service!

I was referred to Formula 1 by Volvo of Tucson. I had a little scratch on the back of my Volvo door and was helped by Tyler Sewell. He is an awesome individual and an excellent repair guy. It looks great and I am very happy with the service he gave me. I will definitely go back if I need any repairs.

After my car was in a collision the dealer recommended I come to Formula 1 and I’m glad they did. Tyler’s and the office’s customer service was excellent and the quality of work they put out is nothing short of factory specifications. I hope to not be in another accident but if I am I will definitely be bringing my car back. Thank you!

Took my car here for an estimate. They were super helpful and even went as far as trying to buff out some of the damage after just taking a quick look at my car. I felt at ease as they were not pushy or condescending at all. The staff was incredibly helpful! I’d definitely come back if my car needed major body work!
