Who We Are

WE ARE CRAZY ABOUT 3 THINGS:

OUR CUSTOMERS, THEIR CARS, AND OUR TEAM!

Our local Wichita business was established in the spring of 2014 by Clay Hoberecht, who developed the vision for Best Body Shop after devoting more than a decade of his life to following his passion for the automotive bodywork and paint industry.

Clay spent countless hours learning and gaining skills from some of the top local leaders in the auto repair industry before finally settling down to make his own unique imprint in the automotive world. He successfully bootstrapped the operation after securing a small but satisfying location in west Wichita. Carrying only his heart for the auto body industry, some powerful and dedicated mentors, and all the tools he acquired along the way, Best Body Shop quickly evolved into a team-oriented establishment.

We strive to transform our day-to-day customers into rabid fans who are just as passionate about the repair of their vehicle as we are. We commit to adhering to manufacturers’ design-based repair recommendations and providing our fans with the safest and most economical repairs that will send them with something to write home about.

Join Our Team

  • A BODY TECH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL METAL AND BODY WORK INVOLVED AT OUR REPAIR FACILITY.

    FOLLOWING OEM REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE THE CENTER POINT OF OUR ENTIRE BUSINESS. WE HAVE A

    CULTURE OF HUMILITY, HUNGER, AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. BEST BODY SHOP IS PROUD OF OUR

    TEAMWORK AND ABILITY TO WORK WELL TOGETHER. BEST BODY SHOP THINKS OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND IS

    RESTORING THE COLLISON REPAIR BUSINESS TO HOW IT SUPPOSED TO BE. YOU WILL NEVER BE ASKED

    TO CUT CORNERS OR SACRIFICE YOUR ETHICS OR MORALS IN ORDER TO COMPLETE A REPAIR. BEST

    BODY SHOP IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE IN CONTRACT WITH ANY INSURANCE COMPANY, THEREFORE

    THE ONLY INFLUENCE ON THE REPAIRS BEING PERFORMED ON VEHICLES IS WHAT IS RIGHT FROM

    WRONG, WHICH IS CLEARLY OUTLINED IN MANUFACTURERS GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES. THE

    COLLISION REPAIR BUSINESS HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF CONSUMERS AND TECHNICIANS FOR A VERY

    LONG TIME. WE BELIEVE ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE STEPS IN AND SUPPORTS THE 2 VERY THINGS THAT

    ALLOW OUR BUSINESS TO BE THE BEST.

  • THE DISASSEMBLY / ASSEMBLY TECH IS THE HEART OF THE SHOP. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL

    DISASSEMBLY AND ASSESSMENT OF THE NEEDED REPAIRS. THE D/A TECH IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR

    REASSEMBLY OF REPAIRED VEHICLES AND ENSURE CORRECT OPERATION OF THESE PARTS. CLEANLINESS

    AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS ARE CRUCIAL. THE REPAIR PLAN WRITER WILL BE DIRECTLY WORKING THE D/A TECH TO ACCURATELY ASCERTAIN THE COST OF REPAIRS. OUR CULTURE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO US AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE BBS TEAM WOULD BE EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN THE CULTURE. BEING DETAILED WILL BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN THIS POSITION.

  • A PAINT PREPPER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING THE RIGHT HAND OF THE PAINTER. PREPPING, MASKING,

    CLEANING AND SETTING THE PAINTER UP IS WHAT THIS POSITION IS ALL ABOUT. MUST BE HUNGRY AND ALWAYS THINKING THREE STEPS AHEAD. PREPPING AND MASKING SKILLS ARE A BENEFIT, BUT CAN BE TAUGHT TO THE RIGHT PERSON. THIS POSITION ALSO WILL GROW INTO MIXING, TINTING, AND

    APPLYING PAINT IN SOME JOBS. WE ARE HUMBLE, HUNGRY, AND EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT AND WOULD EXPECT EVERY BBS TEAM TO BE THE SAME.

  • THE PARTS ASSISTANT WOULD BE THE HELPER TO THE PARTS MANAGER. THIS POSITION INVOLVES

    HEAVY LIFTING AND MOVE PARTS AND CARTS FROM ONE BUILDING TO THE NEXT. THE GOAL OF THE

    ASSISTANT WOULD BE TO KEEP THE PARTS MANAGER ON THE COMPUTER OR PHONE ORDERING AND

    RECEIVING PARTS. WORKING WELL IN A TEAM ENVIRONMENT IS CRUCIAL.

  • THE BEST BODY SHOP DETAILER IS AN IMPORTANT ROLE HERE. THEIR RESPONSIBILITY WOULD BE

    DETAILING, WET SAND, POLISHING, MOVING VEHICLES, AND KEEPING A SHOP CLEAN. THIS IS A HIGH

    PACE POSITION THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES. IF YOU ARE HUMBLE, HUNGRY AND A GREAT

    TEAMMATE WE WILL TRAIN THIS POSITION. BEST BODY SHOP USES THE BEST IN EQUIPMENT AND

    MATERIALS. OUR CULTURE AND TEAMWORK ENVIRONMENT IS UNLIKE ANYTHING WE HAVE SEEN.
