Built on 20+ Years of Collision Repair Experience
Nate began his career in the auto body industry after graduating from Winona Technical College in 2005. He developed his skills in a family-owned body shop in Winona, gaining deep experience in structural repair, refinishing, and insurance claim coordination.
After joining G&J Body Shop approximately eight years ago and working alongside the previous owner, Nate purchased the shop in 2020 and has since expanded both the team and services offered.
Today, every repair performed reflects over 20 years of accumulated experience. Learn more about Nate, the owner and lead collision repair expert, on our Meet Nate page.
OEM Equipment & Manufacturer-Correct Procedures
Vehicles today are engineered with advanced materials and integrated safety systems. Proper repair requires precision and the correct equipment. G&J Body Shop uses OEM equipment and follows manufacturer-recommended repair procedures to ensure:
• Proper frame alignment
• Structural integrity
• Safety system functionality
• Accurate paint matching
This commitment helps protect the long-term value and safety of your vehicle.
Transparent Communication From Start to Finish
Auto accidents are stressful. Uncertainty about your vehicle shouldn’t be. G&J Body Shop prioritizes clear, ongoing communication throughout the repair process. Customers receive:
- Detailed repair estimates
- Photo documentation for insurance
- Direct communication with adjusters

You always know what’s happening with your vehicle.
Insurance Claim Assistance & Out-of-Pocket Repairs
We work with most insurance companies and assist with:

Not all damage requires an insurance claim. We also handle smaller cosmetic repairs and customer-pay jobs when filing a claim isn’t necessary. Our goal is to help you make the most informed decision for your situation.
