BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT IN A CRUNCH.jpg

Let the experts help you out!

Since 1975, Northwest Auto Body and Towing has provided superior automobile collision repairs throughout North Idaho and the Inland Northwest. Their mission is to provide top quality collision repair and customer service at an affordable price through craftsmanship, education and technology. Over the course of nearly four decades, Northwest Auto Body and Towing has proven to be an invaluable contributor to the community they call home.

Those at Northwest Auto Body and Towing give of their time and resources by participating in volunteer work and contributing to charities and events. Some of their community involvement includes repairing vehicles for the local animal shelter, volunteering their own facility for use by Mom’s in Need for the church, participating in Friends of the Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail, providing volunteer work at the Community Center and a great deal more.

Northwest Auto Body and Towing has been a family-owned and operated business for nearly 40 years. Owner and operator Eric Donenfeld was born and raised in Idaho. When given the opportunity to work with his father and brother, he jumped at the chance.

“I moved away for a year, only to come back and realize how good it is in North Idaho,” he said. Some of his favorite activities include fishing, biking, skiing, wakeboarding, sailing and most all water sports. “All the Sandpoint favorites,” he said with a smile.

Eric explained that his father, Mel Donenfeld, started the business in 1975. Mel and his two sons Eric and Cory are now owners of the family business. Eric works at the Ponderay facility while Cory works at the Sandpoint location. Mel helps out at both locations.

“The Sandpoint facility has been around forever, and the facility in Ponderay was a natural evolution of business growth,” said Eric of the second location. “It isn’t about making more money, it’s about filling a need.”

Eric attributes the success of the business to his trustworthy employees for their quality craftsmanship as well as the other businesses with whom they partner.

Both of the Northwest Auto Body locations use computer network systems, including online claim filing, that can provide faster and more efficient insurance claim settling. They work with most major insurance companies and provide a seamless repair experience for the customer.

Northwest Auto Body and Towing is Sandpoint’s longest running collision repair facility that specializes in repairing all cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, and bikes at fair prices.
