In operation 116 years.

Our shop was founded in 1910 by the Benner family. In the 50s, Harold F Benner turned it into its first full-fledged auto body facility. The original shop was only 6,000 square feet consisting of an office, one spray booth, and a 3,500 square foot body shop. A lot has changed in the past sixty years but our goal at Benner’s Auto Body has been, and always will be the same: to provide our customers with the service they expect with the respect they deserve. In 1980, Henry Benner sold the body shop to Joseph O'Neill Sr. After 80 years of running without any changes, Joseph decided to expand the building to accommodate more volume, more cars and more customers. The renovations would increase the body shop’s size to 20,000 square feet. The body shop can now hold 60 cars comfortably and the paint shop is equipped with 2 Accudraft downdraft spray booths. In 2010 Benner's was handed down to its current owner Joseph O'Neill Jr.

Damage from hail storms is a common occurrence in some areas of the country but can easily be fixed by an auto body shop. In most cases, the shop will perform a process called Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) which can eliminate the dents without having to repaint your vehicle.
