Gregg Rosenberg, Justin Wilwert’s boss and 2nd generation owner of Gregg’s Auto Body, says, “The Newgate instructors are great about teaching the basics in auto body, but they also teach how to work: how to get to work on time, how to show up day after day, how to be someone we can count on. That is why Newgate graduates are hired immediately. Justin is an important part of our team, and we’re glad to have him.”

Tony Bonfe, 3rd generation owner of Bonfe’s Collision Center, looks for employees like Dao Yang who have energy and focus. “We have customers today whose grandparents brought their cars to us in the 1950s. We’ve got to be good,” Bonfe says. “That’s why I turn to Newgate for new employees. Dao does a great job, and he’s got a fun personality, too. Thanks, Newgate!”
