James (Jimmy) Pasquin
In 1983, as a sophomore in High School, James (Jimmy) Pasquin discovered his passion for the automotive repair industry. An automotive course in his junior year led Jimmy to an after school job with a local body shop located in Brooklyn, New York.
It was there that Jimmy was provided a unique education in a live working environment as to the variety of vehicle repair problems and the techniques used in diagnosing and repairing cars & trucks.
Mr. Pasquin excelled in learning all there was to learn regarding body work and vehicle repair. His extraordinary understanding and skill in working with vehicles led to the City of New York recruiting him in his junior year to repair the vehicles owned by the New York Parks Department. After High School, the New York Parks and Recreations department immediately made James Pasquin a full time employee.
In the early nineties, Penske Truck Leasing and Repair recruited Mr. Pasquin to work on truck repair and maintenance. This experience offered a unique opportunity to expand his knowledge from private sector vehicles to big rig and specialty vehicle repair.
In 1991 Mr. Pasquin began working as an automotive appraiser for State Farm Insurance. Stepping into the field of automotive appraising offered Mr. Pasquin an opportunity to see how the industry works from the other side of the customer experience. For the next five years Mr. Pasquin worked as an appraiser for Geico and Hartford Insurance as well, allowing him to see how different insurance companies work with the consumer and then the repair facility. This experience provided a rare opportunity to see where the pitfalls of the automotive repair industry often exist.
In 2005 James Pasquin joined forces with Nicholas Hindy and purchased Anthony's Auto Body in a facility that offered the space and expansion capabilities that both partners knew would be necessary in order to stay up to date and in line with technology.
