About (editorial)

Emerson Collision Service was founded in 1972 by Mario Leonardo in a small building on Emerson Street and has since moved to its current Ridgeway Avenue location in Greece. The shop publicly cites ASE-, I-CAR-, and PPG Global-certified technicians — the PPG Global credential is paint-system-specific and signals the refinish team works to a manufacturer-controlled color and process standard rather than mixing house formulas. The shop's service mix combines collision and paint with in-house towing, which is unusual for the niche and useful for Greece-area drivers who would otherwise need to coordinate a separate tow call after an accident. Over 50 years of continuous operation under the Leonardo family makes Emerson one of the longest-running independent body shops in northwest Rochester.

In-house towing plus collision repair under one roof is uncommon in the Rochester body-shop market — useful if a Greece breakdown happens on a corridor where you need both ends of the call handled by the same shop.
