Lifelong residents of Indiana, Mike and Patsy moved to Lafayette in 1977 when Mike attended Purdue University. Though majoring in Ag Economics, Mike's real interest was in cars. After Purdue he took a job with one of the local car dealerships in their body shop and after a short time was promoted to body shop manager and then to Collision Repair Director at one of the largest car dealerships in the midwest. It wasn't long, however, until it was time for a new challenge.

In 1992 Mike, Patsy and their two sons, Zach, then age 7 and Nick, then age 2, started Twin City Collision Repair, Inc. It was a rather humble beginning in a 4,800 square foot rented building and a staff of three, one of them being Mike. They began production in June and turned a profit the first month. Not much of a profit, but a profit nonetheless and the business began to grow.

Additional leased space was added in 1993 and a year later land was purchased for construction of a new facility on Farabee Drive. The building was designed and construction began in January 1995. Twin City Collision moved to the new facility at 600 Farabee Drive on July 4th 1995, only three years after beginning operations. Over the years many additionl people joined the Twin City Collision family and with emphasis on quality and outstanding customer service, the company continued to grow with annual sales exceeding their ten year business plan in only the fourth year of operation.

In 1998 land was purchased on County Road 350 South in Lafayette for the purpose of additional expansion in Tippecanoe County. After extensive planning they broke ground on their new building in the fall of 2000 and began operations at the new facility in early 2001. Their newest store boasts over 15,500 square feet of space dedicated to meeting and exceeding the needs of repairing today's vehicles.
