Seidner’s Collision Centers Spotlight

In October 2024, Seidner’s Collision Centers received the Excellence in Workforce Development Award at the San Gabriel Valley Economic Partnership Awards Gala. Gene Lopez, Seidner’s Director of Development and Training, also chairs the K12 Foothill Consortium’s Automotive Technology Advisory Board.

In May 2025, the U.S. Department of Labor officially approved a Collision Apprenticeship in partnership with Seidner’s Collision Centers—creating a local earn-and-learn pathway for individuals 18 and older with a driver’s license who are interested in a career in collision repair.

Founded in 1964, Seidner’s Collision Centers is a family-owned and operated business committed to providing an “Extraordinary Repair Experience” across the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire.
