About Us
Before you learn about us, it’s important to know where we started. Kenny began as a mechanic in what is now our detail shop, working next door to a body shop named Emmel’s. In 1982, when Emmel retired and sold the business, Kenny took a leap and purchased the shop. Union Collision started in a 2,000-square-foot space, where we handled all bodywork, priming, painting, and delivery.
By 1986, the shop had expanded to include Kenny’s old mechanic space. As business grew, we acquired a machine shop down the road in 1997, which became our current office. In 2008, we added a fourth building after purchasing it from a longtime neighbor.
Today, Union Collision spans five buildings and includes three generations working side by side—Kenny, his wife Barbara, their sons Michael and Nick, and grandfather Frank. Our employees, though not family by name, are treated as such, enjoying full medical coverage, 401(k) matching, tuition reimbursement, and paid holidays.
At Union Collision, we strive to make the unfortunate experience of a car accident as painless as possible, going above and beyond to treat every customer like family.
The acquisition of Emmel's Auto Body Shop was the beginning of Union Collision!
We needed the space so the first expansion was into Kenny's old mechanic shop.
As the business continued to grow we continued to expand. We purchased the mechanic shop a few doors down, which is now the office.
In 2008 our neighbor was retiring so we were happy to purchase his building, currently our paint shop.
Over 40 years later and we are still providing outstanding auto body repair services to the local community.
