Friendly small-town service with big-town skill – since 1971.
For more than 50 years, Wenzl’s Collision Center has been part of the heartbeat of Lincoln’s Havelock neighborhood. What began as a small, family-run shop in 1971 has grown into one of the most trusted names in auto body repair and collision repair across Lincoln and the surrounding communities – all while keeping the same values, the same family presence, and the same commitment to doing the right thing for every customer who walks through our doors.
We’re proud to be a second-generation, family-owned collision repair center where quality, honesty, and community come first.
Wenzl’s Collision Center was founded by Donald Wenzl Sr. in 1971. His dedication to craftsmanship and small-town hospitality shaped the foundation of the shop and set the tone for everything that followed. In 2013, the shop returned fully to the next generation when Marty and Kelli Wenzl purchased it and continued the family tradition of hands-on ownership.
Our long-standing reputation in Lincoln comes from more than experience. It comes from consistency – the same family name, the same pride in our work, and the same commitment to doing right by our customers.

Below, meet the people who make Wenzl’s what it is.
Kelli brings over 20 years of experience as a former insurance adjuster, giving customers a clear, reassuring guide through the claims process. She helps drivers understand their estimates, deductibles, and next steps - always in plain language. Friendly, organized, and deeply knowledgeable, Kelli is often the first reassuring voice customers hear.
Marty grew up in the shop his father built, learning the craft from a young age. Today, he oversees repairs, supports the team, and ensures every vehicle leaves the shop meeting the family’s high standards. Marty’s leadership style is hands-on, steady, and rooted in decades of experience.
Ann helps customers feel welcome the moment they walk through the door. She keeps the office running smoothly and communicates with customers throughout their repairs.

Even though our shop feels warm and familiar, we follow modern repair standards with the highest level of care and attention.
Our team is trained in OEM repair procedures and I-CAR guidelines, and several of our technicians hold I-CAR Platinum certifications. The shop is on track for I-CAR Gold Class recognition by early 2026 – one of the highest levels of collision repair training in the industry.
We prioritize OEM and OEM-approved parts, follow manufacturer instructions, and stand behind our workmanship with a Limited Lifetime Warranty for as long as you own your vehicle. Transparency, safety, and quality are at the heart of everything we do.
At Wenzl’s Collision Center, our work is more than repairing vehicles – it’s about helping people get back to their lives safely and confidently.
