Wade Auto Body - About Us

Paul Anderson, owner of Anderson’s Collision, Inc. shops, is a graduate of Texas State Technical College with a degree in Complete Auto Body Repair and Refinishing. He has worked in the Auto Body Repair industry since 1983. After several years as a body repair and paint technician, Paul managed several large collision shops in the DFW area. In 1997, he decided to start his own business and opened his first shop, called Anderson’s Auto Collision Center.

In 2000, Paul and his family returned to his hometown of Waco, Texas, where he purchased his second shop. He purchased Wade Auto Body, a business started by Mike Wade in 1970 and known for providing top quality repairs and service for thirty years. Anderson’s continues that reputation today by utilizing the latest state-of-the-art equipment and the most experienced technicians and office staff. Employees are kept abreast of current repair techniques as well as changes in the automobile industry through ongoing training. Paul believes in retaining the most quality–oriented employees, and providing them with an excellent work environment in order to produce the best service.

Wade Auto Body now offers two locations in the Waco area. In 2001, Wade Auto Body II was opened. Then, in 2004, the Jenkins Body and Paint shop and staff, with forty-two years of business, was acquired. Then in 2008, Wade Auto Body #1 was remodeled and enlarged to serve our customers even better and at that time we combined our Jenkins staff and operation under one roof with Wade Auto Body #1.

Wade Auto Body has 12 technicians out of 20 that have been with us for over 10 years. Years of dedication and experience is where we shine above all others. Our technicians are the best! We take a great deal of pride in our professionals and their abilities.

Both shops are Direct Repair Program (DRP) facilities for over six major auto insurance companies, meaning those companies trust that Wade Auto Body will provide the highest standard of quality repairs and professional service for their customers. Wade Auto Body has a reputation that is second to none!

Paul is a “hands-on” owner and manager and is committed to ensuring customers receive quality repairs and excellent service. Anderson’s reputation is second to none! Repeat customers and testimonials from first-time customers prove our dedication to commitment of quality work and service..
