It all started back in 1956, when Richard H. Feest (aka Pinkey) first bought the building at 3859 N. Richards St, the former Lincoln Mercury Capital Sales. He originally named his new shop Capital Auto Body and after a year he personalized the business to incorporate his nickname and renamed the shop Pinkey's Capital Auto Body.

Pinky’s is hands down the best body and repair shop in Wisconsin. A lot of other places are less knowledgeable or try to cut corners, but Pinky’s takes a lot of personal pride in the work that they do because they are 3rd generation owned and operated. I wouldn’t take my cars anywhere else.

I took my car here because it had been previously recommended to me by my insurance carrier for a separate incident and was close by. My car was operating fine mechanically but had significant body damage and because of the particular areas that were damaged it was not safe to drive for any extended distance. The invoice total added up to an exorbitant sum but I resigned myself to accepting the cost because I was in a tough situation that necessitated it. Because of their good reputation I trusted that they were only billing me for parts that actually needed to be replaced despite the extent of

Pinkey's was great to work with, from start to finish. They were honest and did a great job with my vehicle. Felt like I could trust them with the whole process. Absolutely LOVE that they use this service to email you updates on the progress of the repair. Multiple people recommended them to me for body repair work, and now I've joined the masses with my ringing endorsement!

2009 Honda Odyssey with a sliding door that would often stick when I pulled the handle. Mentioned it @ the dealer when it was new a BUNCH of times (like each time it was in for oil changes). They said they couldn't duplicate the problem. Sure.
Fast forward to a month ago and I was trying to open the door and the outside handle broke-off in my hands.
Took the car to Shorewood Auto (also very good guys), they said, "take it to Pinky's." Took it to Pinky's, they gave me a very reasonable quote, ordered the part, and had me bring the car back for the install. Very convenient, very honest price.

Had my car broken into and the steering column ripped out in an attempted theft. I am so glad I had my car brought to Pinkey's for repairs. Ricky was kind and patient throughout the whole process, even when there was an indeterminate wait on some back-ordered parts. I was kept updated throughout the entire process by him. Once the parts were in, they immediately got to work on the car and I was able to get it back that afternoon. Despite a bummer situation, they gave me peace of mind and quality service.
I got my car back in great condition. Repairs were done well and it was sparkling clean (cleaner

My wife and I have both used Pinky's services. My wife needed a dent pulled out of her Chevy Impala bumper. I need an insurance repair on my Lincoln MKZ. Both were done EXCELLENTLY! You couldn't even tell that both cars had some damage to them. If we need any more body work done, we are coming here no questions asked. Thank you Pinky's!!!

I loved my experience visiting Pinkey's to repair my broken side mirror. From the moment I first called asking about an appointment I was met with consistently kind and helpful staff. As a woman with her first car I was concerned about being ripped off or told inaccurate info but Pinkey's is a no nonsense kind of business that clearly wants to help their customers. Very clean, covid safe and efficient. They even washed my car after fixing my mirror! I have nothing but positive things to say about this business.

I have driven by Pinkey's and know many like the shop - I called a friend today because I have a 2008 volvo XC wagon and it got messed up when my mechanic in Bayside, WI (OM) changed the serpentine belt - because the car had 155,000 miles (my friend agreed good call). We drive and recently drove from Bayside, WI to LDI, Maine - 1400 miles. My friend Marcus and his son Reid said USE PCAB - Rick "Pinkey" Feest and his crew are honest, and do good work - always.
Rick - I look forward to meeting you soon - we have more work to be done and my husband met with a mechanic here in Maine

They were so helpful and easy to work with. We took my son's beater car in after an accident assuming it was totaled given its age and condition, but Pinkey's got the car back on the road in good condition for a really reasonable price and saved us a ton of legwork and money. I hope to I never have to go back, but if I do need bodywork done in the future, I will definitely choose Pinkey's.

I don't normally Yelp auto body shops but the service my mother and I had today was exceptional. Ricky was very kind and went above and beyond for us.
My mothers truck was broken into last night. We contacted Pinkey's this morning and they came and towed the truck and repaired everything in a matter of hours. They even got it all done in less time they quoted!

My wife took our vehicle in for a second opinion/quote on a subframe issue, and Pinky's stated that it wasn't even worth looking at because a repair would cost more than the car was worth. Fair enough. The real problem was that the mechanic followed that up with, "just bat your eyelashes at daddy and have him buy you a new car." My wife's father had passed away just about a year prior, of which she took the opportunity to inform this "gentleman." He replied, "well, then bat them at mom instead." Real class act. Couldn't tell you anything about their

This place does a professional job every time.
Drive up, they inspect the damages, they assess in five minutes, give you an estimate that DOES NOT CHANGE once the work is completed, and you get your car back like nothing ever happened.
I got in three fender benders over the past year and took my car to Pinkey's all three times.
One star deduction because the inside of my car wreaked of paint fumes when I got my car back and still does to a certain extent. I hope it goes away completely.
Otherwise, good show Pinkey's.

My car was recently wrecked and it's the first accident I've ever been involved in--needless to say, I was scared and clueless. Pinkey's has made this ordeal painless (after the fact) and easy. I haven't had to lift a finger, except to drop off my car and sign my name. I've heard legends of repair and auto body shops ripping people off, but they've treated me like a princess with a broken car. I highly recommend them.
