Intense Collision Center
INTENSE Business Start-up

INTENSE Collision Center, Inc. was started up by Andre' and Jodi Arneson and opened for business on April 26th, 2004. They are located at 5402 53rd Ave SW, in Fargo, just west of 45th Street on 52nd Avenue South.

INTENSE Collision Center, Inc. is a class A state of the art collision center. Their primary service consists of collision damage, from mild fender benders, to glass replacement, or and extreme vehicle roll over. INTENSE Collision Center, Inc. is also happy to work with all insurance companies. The mission of INTENSE is to offer superior customer service that is second to none in the area. Andre' and Jodi's inspiration for starting this business was a love of painting vehicles to show quality shine. They had been doing auto body work from their home based business for the last few years and decided it was time to take it to the next level.

While working with SBDC professional, Aimee Schwartzwalter Regional Director, together they researched and developed a successful business plan for the operation, estimated potential income and expenses, explored marketing ideas, and compared funding sources. They chose an SBA 7(a) loan and State Bank and Trust worked with them to finance the start of INTENSE Collision Center, Inc. They are now busy serving customers in their new location. Andre and Jodi would advise potential entrepreneurs "Not to expect it to happen overnight; we worked on our business proposal for over two years and good things come to those who wait and do their homework."

The SBDC congratulates INTENSE Collision Center, Inc. on achieving their dreams!
