Penn Autobody
is hereby recognized as a
TOP GUN Professional Business!
Matt Penn, you are considered a champion business owner for building and managing Penn Autobody, an auto body repair company in Elk County.
Small businesses are the backbone of an economy.
The owners of these businesses are entrepreneurs who take on significant financial and operational risks, create jobs, and contribute creativity and ingenuity to the local marketplace. They often work long hours, navigate difficult challenges, and make personal sacrifices to ensure their businesses succeed and serve their communities.
Our research team at Expansion Support Services, owners of the County Advisory Board, identified Penn Autobody as a business that is highly valued by its customers and provides essential services to the community.
Penn Autobody’s continued success is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and forward-thinking leadership of Matt Penn. Raised in the family business, Matt quite literally grew up in the shop—starting as a young helper as soon as he could walk and hold a flashlight. Over the years, he was trained in every aspect of the trade, from sanding and body filler work to painting and finishing. In addition to mastering hands-on skills, Matt embraced the technical side of the industry, learning computerized estimating systems and helping modernize the business to keep pace with an evolving marketplace.
Today, the shop continues to benefit from its strong family foundation. Matt’s father, now 72 and semi-retired, still lends a hand when needed. His decades of experience remain invaluable, and he proudly notes he can still “run circles around the young guys.” His knowledge and work ethic continue to play an important role in the success and daily operations of this family-run business.
Beyond their professional achievements, Penn Autobody demonstrates a deep commitment to the local community. The business has proudly supported numerous youth programs and organizations, including Little League, soccer leagues, Boy Scouts, cheerleading, wrestling, baseball, and football teams. The Penn family also contributes to charitable efforts, including initiatives supporting children battling cancer.
Outside of the shop, the Penn family embraces an active, outdoor lifestyle. They are passionate about motocross, with the children participating in youth motocross events, and enjoy riding motorcycles, hunting, fishing, and camping together. At the same time, they value balance and family connection, making time for simple traditions like movie nights.
We take this moment to acknowledge and thank Matt Penn for the past, present, and future contributions that Penn Autobody and its staff have made—and will continue to make—in Elk County, PA.
Matt Penn, you are highly commended and appreciated for your dedication to small business ownership and for the positive impact you have on your community.
