History

A Legacy of Quality Craftsmenship

 
 
 
 

1981

 

After emigrating from London as a novice refinish technician, Daya Bharadva settled in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife Kanta and their two sons. From there, the husband and wife duo took over a collision repair facility as partial owners. Soon after, they moved to Central Florida and opened a facility of their own. The undeveloped Orlando area reminded the young couple of their youth back in Africa.

Calling Central Florida their home, Daya’s was established in 1982 in Altamonte Springs consisting of Daya, Kanta and one technician.
