Founded in 1979 by then-owners Jim and Cherie Feehan, American Auto Body quickly became a community standout with its dedication to quality work and customer satisfaction.

About a year later, the North Minneapolis-based shop moved to a larger facility in Osseo to accommodate the breakneck pace at which it was growing. A newer and larger Brooklyn Park building was constructed in 1994.

In 2006, the Feehans retired and sold the company to their eldest son Matthew, who has been running the business ever since.

Matthew’s 28 years of collision repair experience includes knowledge of every aspect of operating a collision repair center. His proficiency extends to and beyond areas such as general maintenance and detailing, repair technician, painter, and general manager. Matthew attended Hennepin Technical College for auto body repair and is certified by both the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

From the beginning, American Auto Body’s goal was to create a comfortable and clean auto center that felt like more than a regular collision repair shop. Having joined the Fix Auto USA family, Matthew and his team can provide that same level of trust, commitment, care, and competence backed by a united and unparalleled support system.

For Matthew, the arrangement just makes sense: “Joining Fix Auto USA is the culmination of an extensive evaluation as to the best way for me, as an independent operator, to continue to prosper in a rapidly changing marketplace,” he said. “By becoming a Fix Auto USA Franchise Partner, I will immediately gain access to a network of others that care deeply about my business, and there’s a lot of comfort in that.”

With a reputation as market leaders, Fix Auto USA is a network of more than 150 collision repair shops nationally. Each is supported by the Fix Auto brand and is individually owned and operated, balancing the security of an industry leading organization with the hospitality of a traditional neighborhood enterprise.

Only the best and most trusted collision repair businesses are invited to represent Fix Auto USA. Each owner-operator, or Franchise Partner, is subjected to a comprehensive evaluation before being approved to join, so you can be sure the high standard of master workmanship and exceptional customer experience is upheld across the board.

The Fix Auto USA family strives to deliver consistent, quality, and timely repairs, using the latest technology to assure your vehicle receives safe and superior repairs every time. Additionally, repairs are guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle* and are honored at every location.

With shops now in Minnesota, Fix Auto has expanded to its tenth state and stretched its brand’s mark in the Midwest region. Other franchise locations can be found in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.

The newly anointed Fix Auto Brooklyn Park and Fix Auto Maple Grove remain locally owned and independently operated by the same knowledgeable teams that have provided top-notch auto repair service since 1979. The name is all that has changed.

This time of the year also marks the beginning of the holiday season, when family and friends travel, so they can celebrate and be together. While the winter holidays are cause for celebration, they can also be cause for concern when traveling. Increased travel during the winter means an increase in possible road side emergencies. Being prepared for just about anything is your best defense for survival.

At American Auto Body, we big believers in safety first. If winter weather is severe, it is always best to wait it out until road conditions improve. If travel is required, we suggest being as prepared as possible.

Below are a few suggestions to have in your car or trunk when traveling. If you drive long distances to work every day, it is recommended to keep these emergency car kit items with you each time you leave the house. Keeping these items together in a designated area of your car is also recommended for quickly locating in an emergency.

Winter Emergency Check List

• First aid kit
• Flashlight and/or headlamp
• Emergency flares, reflective markers, and reflective vest
• Jumper cables
• Shovel
• Vehicle fire extinguisher
• Battery operated radio
• Blanket and sleeping bag
• Extra clothing (snow pants, coats, hats, gloves, and boots)
• Matches, candles
• Towels
• Food and water (packaged items such as granola bars or energy bars)

Due to a high deer population in Minnesota, drivers should be on the lookout year-round for unpredictable deer when traveling on the road. But, now more than ever, drivers should be on the alert. We are entering deer mating season, which is the time of year (October, November, and December) when there is a documented increase in deer-automobile collisions.

Hitting a deer with your car can be a scary experience. If you have hit a deer and you need immediate assistance, your first call should be 911. Take care of you and your passengers first. Even if you are concerned with the deer, it is recommended to never approach a wounded wild animal.

Once you are at a point when you can focus on any damages done to your car, give us a call. We understand how stressful a car accident can be. We strive to make the automobile repair process as stress free as possible. Here are just a few ways we work with clients to take away some of their worry.

• Free pick-up and delivery of your damaged automobile.
• We work with insurance companies on the details of your claims.

At the end of each summer, we see all kinds of cars with all kinds of bumps and scratches. Summertime can really be rough on your ride. If you have kids, you know what handlebars, hockey sticks, and carpools can do to an innocent vehicle, right? Have any of your kids ever accidentally ridden their bike straight into your car when trying to navigate in or out of the garage? Are you constantly driving carpools? Sports bags and equipment have a funny way of missing their mark and well…leaving a mark. What about the weather? If you live in Minnesota, you know that hail can strike at any time throughout the summer.

If your vehicle has seen better days and you would like to freshen it up a bit, we’ve got you covered. At American Auto Body, our team of professionals offer dent repair and automobile paint services that will do wonders for the overall look of your car.

Happy summer! We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July that was filled with family, friends, and very good times. Isn’t summer in Minnesota wonderful? We have so much to do and enjoy around our state, such as our beautiful parks, 10,000+ lakes, street fairs, farmers markets, big cities, and small towns. Since our warm summer weather is so short lived, it certainly deserves celebration.

But, just like winter, spring, and fall, weather during the summer months can be extremely unpredictable. In fact, it can sometimes feel like we have experienced all four seasons in the same day. As an automobile repair shop, it seems that hail always seems to take even the most prepared car owners by storm (pun intended).

Have you ever been on the way to a cabin or even parked at the cabin when a hailstorm hits? What about sitting in traffic or looking out the window at work, knowing your car is being nailed by golf ball sized hail. Whether you are in your car, safely inside your home, or looking out the window at your car, hail can make an automobile owner feel extremely helpless. In the moment, there is absolutely nothing you can do to protect one of your biggest investments.

If your car is damaged from hail, let us help you. We understand that when your car experiences damage, you experience quite a bit of stress. Let us relieve some of that pressure and worry by taking care of the details. When we say we are full service, we mean it. Check out how easy it is to work with us…
