Iowa City, Iowa – July 6th, 2024 – Harv’s Auto Body Repair is proud to stand out from other body repair shops in caring about the community the shop serves. 

The team at Harv’s Auto Body Repair, led by owner Brent Pankow, is near completion of a custom drag car project that has been years in the making. This special project showcases Harv’s dedication to quality craftsmanship and community spirit.

Pankow said the project came together for a customer who is a family friend who purchased the vehicle as his daily driver at the age of 16. Over the years, the car has undergone numerous transformations, with the current iteration being the third and most significant. Harv’s Auto Body Repair has been involved from the very start of this latest transformation, dedicating over 1,200 hours over the course of five years to bring the vision to life. Harv’s Auto Body Shop has put in over 200 hours on paint and body work alone.

Pankow has a clear vision for his role in the community. He aspires to be known as “That Guy” – the trusted expert in auto body repairs whom friends, neighbors, and community members turn to for reliable, high-quality service. His goal is to build a reputation based on trust and excellence, standing in stark contrast to chain auto body stores that often prioritize profit over quality and community investment.

“I want to be the guy that people think of when they need a reliable and trustworthy auto body repair. Someone who genuinely cares about the work and the community,” Pankow expressed. His commitment to quality and community is evident in every project, including this latest drag car build.
