Efrain Perez says the collision repair industry is more than a profession, it is a lifelong passion rooted in family
South Salt Lake, Utah—Fix Auto USA has announced the opening of Fix Auto South Salt Lake, located in South Salt Lake, Utah. Owned and operated by Efrain Perez, the 14,000-square-foot facility is Perez’s third Fix Auto USA location.
Perez said that the collision repair industry is more than a profession, it is a lifelong passion rooted in family and tradition.
“I grew up in my father’s body shop in Colombia, surrounded by the sounds of tools, welding sparks, bodywork, and fresh paint,” he said. “Although my father hoped I would choose an easier career, I was drawn to the industry and learned by watching him and helping wherever I could.
“He taught me honesty, responsibility, hard work, and the importance of being proud of anything that carries your name. Today, owning three body shops is something I am incredibly grateful for, and the values my father instilled in me continue to guide how we serve our customers and community every day.”
Perez added that the business has become a family endeavor. “My wife, Rebeca, serves as co-owner and General Manager, and my brother, my son, several close friends, and even my father are actively involved in the business. Seeing everything come full circle, from growing up in my father’s shop in Colombia to building this business together as a family, is incredibly special.”
As the South Salt Lake location grows, the team looks forward to supporting local families, schools, youth programs, and community events while building lasting relationships throughout the region.
