Twenty years of showing up when it matters.

Tracy Fenton spent his career responding to accidents before he started repairing what was left of them. That instinct — show up, stay calm, take care of people — is still how the shop runs today.

Our Story

From paramedic to body shop owner.

After serving the community as a paramedic for over twenty years, Tracy Fenton's love of cars pulled him toward the automotive industry. In 2007, he opened Fenton's Custom & Collision in Elkville, Illinois — bringing the same calm, detail-oriented mindset from the back of an ambulance to the body shop floor.

Fenton's Custom & Collision has enjoyed serving the people of Southern Illinois for several years since. In the spring of 2015, the shop moved into a larger facility in Du Quoin, IL, to keep up with demand — and the team has been providing the same quality, hands-on automotive service in that location ever since.

What We Stand For

Service for your vehicle. Service for you.

Insurance claims, towing logistics, and rental cars are stressful enough — we built the shop around removing as much of that stress as possible.

Insurance, Handled

We work directly with all insurance carriers and can answer questions on your claim along the way.

One Call Does It All

Towing, estimate, rental car, and repair — coordinated by our shop, not juggled by you.

Factory-Accurate Results

Color-matched paint and properly aligned panels, so the repair disappears — not just the dent.

Community Involvement

Proud to be part of Du Quoin.

Fenton's is proud to be involved in our community by supporting numerous clubs and organizations and participating in a variety of local events. We're proud sponsors of the District #300 Educational Foundation, the DHS Athletic Booster Club, the Du Quoin Swimming Indians, and many more.

Tracy Fenton serves as a board member for the Du Quoin Chamber of Commerce and is Vice President of the Perry CEO program — a cooperative effort among Perry County high schools, business, and industry. Perry CEO is an entrepreneurial, hands-on class where students learn business ethics, planning, and building in a highly involved environment outside the traditional classroom, earning high school and college-level credit along the way.
