50 Years of Serving Lakeville Drivers
Bodywerks has a deep history with Lakeville. From 1974 to 1996, Bodywerks was based in Lakeville before moving to its current Elko New Market location. The shop has been continuously serving the Lakeville community for over 50 years. That history matters because it is the reason Bodywerks has earned the Lakeville Sun Readers Choice award five times.

Five-Time Lakeville Sun Readers Choice Winner
Bodywerks has been named Lakeville Sun Readers Choice winner five separate times (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026). That award is not selected by a marketing team or industry panel. It is voted on by Lakeville residents who actually use the services. Five wins means five separate years where Lakeville drivers told their neighbors and their newspaper that Bodywerks is the best body shop in the area.
