History of Wrecktify Collision

Wrecktify Collision and Restoration is the culmination of a lifelong dream of Wrecktify’s Managing Member, Mark Meester. Mark has loved cars his entire life; so, when his youngest son’s childhood friend, and now Co-Owner of Wrecktify, Sean Linton, approached him about the opportunity to purchase Vetterli Paint and Body, he thought it might just be too good to be true. However, on July 1, 2014 after meeting with the retiring owner, John Vetterli, Mark, Sean and Jonathon (Buck) Bauer were able to form an ownership group, finalize the purchase, and officially make the dream become a reality!


Since 100% Customer Satisfaction is Wrecktify’s top priority, we have assembled a repair team (3 of which were trained under John Vetterli) with over 60 years combined experience in collision and restoration that is committed to providing the best service possible. So, whether you’ve run into some bad luck (i.e., a deer!), or are looking to make one of your dream cars a reality, Wrecktify is here to be your Collision and Restoration solution; we will provide quality workmanship with integrity while building lifelong relationships and partnerships throughout the community.
