X-Treme Paint, Auto Body & Marine

History Established in 1997. Owner, Aaron Wachholz, originally started the business as Forest Lake Collision Center in 1997. Three years later, as custom paint demand grew along with collision repair, we decided to rename the company "X-treme Paint & Auto Body" to better reflect the type of work we do. In 2008, we experienced another shift in the industry due to the change in the economy. Fewer people were buying custom paint and custom vehicles, and instead were repairing and restoring the car, truck or boat they had to get more use out of it. We saw a sharp rise in fiberglass and aluminum boat repair, and added the "Marine" to the end of our name, as to encompass all of the skills we offer
