About
Family shop.
Real work.
Pernot Inc. has been turning wrenches in Janesville, Wisconsin for over 35 years. Independent, family-owned, and built on the kind of reputation you can't buy.
Our Story
Three decades.
One shop floor.
Pernot Inc. started as a one-bay collision shop and grew — slowly, deliberately — into a full custom and repair facility serving south-central Wisconsin and the broader Midwest.
We do lifted trucks. We do wheels and tires. We do paint and collision. We do the work the dealer sends us when it's outside their wheelhouse. And we do it without upselling, without shortcuts, and without making you feel like a number.
Most of our customers come from word of mouth. That's the only marketing we've ever needed — and the only marketing that's ever mattered.
What we stand for
No gimmicks. Just the work.
Independent
We're not a chain. We're not owned by an insurance company. We work for you, full stop.
Transparent
Written estimates, honest timelines, and a phone call before we touch anything you didn't approve.
Skilled
Our techs have decades of combined experience across frame, paint, fabrication, and custom builds.
Local
Janesville-based, Wisconsin-rooted. We sponsor the teams, we know the neighbors, we live here.
Particular
If it's not the way we'd want it on our own vehicle, it doesn't leave the bay.
Accountable
If something's not right after you drive away, bring it back. We make it right.

From the shop
"We're not trying to be the biggest. We're trying to be the shop you trust with the truck you actually care about."
