About Us

Founded in 1962

as a modest
single-stall garage,

Geneva Auto Body has evolved into the leading name in auto repair in Walworth County. Purchased by Chris Migut and Henry Ziobro in 1987, we expanded to our flagship building in 1988 with just three employees, setting the stage for our legacy of quality, honesty, and reliability. In 2020, Troy Migut and his partner-in-crime, Don Palka, took the helm, steering our company into a new era with a dedicated team.

Our commitment remains unwavering:

to deliver exceptional repair services with integrity and care.
