The modest ivy-covered building on the corner of Ash and Pepper in this quiet neighborhood is the home of Viking Motor Body, which has been offering complete body and fender paint and repair on foreign and domestic vehicles since 1948. Owner Ray takes great pride in providing honest, friendly knowledgeable service to his customers, many of whom are repeats and referrals. Viking believes in following shop practices that keep pollutants away from both storm drains and the sewer system; that consistently earns them the annual "Clean Bay Business" designation from the City of Palo Alto.
