Pronto Body Shop

Pronto Body Shop continues its 40 year-long commitment to customer service in the auto collision industry under owner Tiffany Menefee. After taking over as the body shop’s owner in 2015, Tiffany has brought fierce girl power and much more to a male-dominated business. Many of the shop’s management positions are held by women, including the front office, marketing and parts department, as well as the back shop. A woman’s touch and Tiffany’s experience of over 20 years investigating fraudulent insurance claims are just two of the reasons customers are made comfortable and put at ease while dealing with an otherwise stressful situation. Tiffany recently made the cover of Fender Bender Magazine’s February 2019 issue. The write-up highlights the shop and shop owner’s success in changing the dynamic between insurance companies and auto body shops. A family owned body shop recognized at the national level is something to be very proud of considering the competition. The management and staff at Pronto Body Shop understand just how much stress and frustration one can face while dealing with an auto collision. Pronto Body Shop and their commitment to customer service is no accident.
