Panel Beaters Paint and Body's Story

---

 Kristoffer's journey into the auto body industry began with a simple idea: “I can do it better myself.” After receiving a quote to repaint his 1989 Jeep YJ, he decided to take on the job solo. The results weren’t quite what he imagined—but that first misstep sparked a passion and a career that would span decades.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience in Canada’s auto body industry, Kristoffer honed his skills in everything from collision repair to custom paintwork. In 2017, he made the bold move from Ontario, Canada to Fort Worth, Texas, bringing his family—and his expertise—with him.

Kristoffer’s first job at a shop in Texas was at Panel Beater's Paint and Body, where he quickly became a trusted and versatile team member. In 2022, the opportunity arose to take ownership of the shop. Having done just about everything in the industry, the only thing left was to lead it.

Today, Kristoffer runs the business with the same passion that first brought him into the trade—only now, with years of experience, a commitment to quality, and a deep respect for every vehicle and customer that comes through the door.
