Pinkey's Capital Auto Body

About | Pinkey's Capital Auto Body

It all started back in 1956, when Richard H. Feest (aka Pinkey) first bought the building at 3859 N. Richards St, the former Lincoln Mercury Capital Sales. He originally named his new shop Capital Auto Body and after a year he personalized the business to incorporate his nickname and renamed the shop Pinkey's Capital Auto Body.

Over the years Pinkey has worked tirelessly to establish himself as a good businessman by making customer satisfaction his number one goal and always keeping himself in good standing with other companies he does business with.

Running the business hasn't always been as easy as it is today. When Pinkey first bought the business he operated 2 shifts and managed 33 employees. He also often labored himself nonstop for days so that each vehicle was delivered to the customer with the best quality possible and on time.

Today Pinkey's Capital Auto Body is a family run business that spans three generations. Pinkey, his wife, two sons, daughter, and three of his grandchildren, are all involved in the business in one way or another.

Since 1956, Pinkey's Capital Auto Body has serviced hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers with expert body repair. Customers return time after time in part due to the personal attention they each receive and in part due to the high quality of workmanship they receive. As an added bonus each car is personally inspected and washed prior to delivery.

Today, with a highly trained crew of repair and refinishing technicians, Pinkey's Capital Auto Body continues to serve customers in the Milwaukee, Riverworks area and surrounding communities.

Over the years, Pinkey's facilities have grown. Part of the growth is due to many new customers. However, the real story behind Pinkey's growth is the satisfied customers who return time and time again. These customers know that their requests will receive the personal attention that Pinkey's is famous for.

Pinkey's has many certifications exemplifying, the high quality of their work. Their technicians as well as the shop itself have been awarded such certifications as ASE certification, I-CAR certification, A/C certification, Aluminum certification, Jaguar certification, Volvo certification and have earned the Angie's List Super Service Award. Pinkey's Capital Auto Body prides itself on a professional atmosphere, along with a standard of excellence that keeps it one step above the rest.

Pinkey's facilities and technicians are totally equipped to handle major collision repairs as well as restoration work. The small jobs receive equal attention to the larger jobs and customer satisfaction goes with every job.

Pinkey takes pride in the fact that his refinish technicians color match by eye each and every vehicle that enters our shop. Most body shops simply order paint for a car via the cars paint code. The paint code does not take into consideration that many cars paint has faded or been discolored. Pinkey makes sure that the repaired areas paint color matches the rest of the vehicle.

Pinkey's Capital Auto Body is a direct repair shop for as many as 10 insurance companies and takes claims from all others, so whatever insurance you have, Pinkey's can take care of it. Pinkey's can also arrange to have your vehicle towed to our facility for repairs.

One area in which Pinkey's has expanded is in the recycled parts business. For several years now Pinkey's has been a leading contributor in the recycling of used Volvo and Jaguar parts. They have a large salvage yard filled with newer and older model Volvos and Jaguars. Use the inventory search on this web site to locate parts you may need. If it doesn't show up on the search, call or e-mail a parts request, as the part may still be available in back stock.

After 52 years at 3859 N. Richards St., one fire and growing pains later, we have built a new location at 120 W. Melvina. We have moved the body shop, paint shop and parts department in its entirety, to the new location just 3 blocks west of the original shop. Pinkey's is once again expanding. We bought another adjacent building to expand our state of the art paint shop into. Anyone looking for estimates or dropping off their cars for repair can drive in to the marked overhead door on 2nd street. All parts shipping and receiving will be handled through the double walk-in doors on Melvina St.
