Northwest Autobody earns chamber honors

SANDPOINT — The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is proud to recognize Northwest Autobody and Towing as the January’s Business of the Month.

Established in 1978, they are a family-owned and operated business. At the age of 26, Mel Donenfeld opened Northwest Autobody on a premise of providing top quality work and customer service on all vehicles, as well as 24-hour towing in North Idaho.

In addition, Northwest Autobody’s close proximity to the high school enables them to assist in the high school’s driver’s education course. The business also participate in the Sandpoint High School’s job placement program giving opportunities for local students to learn about the business and the industry. Vinny, the lead in the towing department, started more than 20 years ago through the same high school program.

Northwest Autobody also recently participated in Relay For Life of Northern Idaho in memory of Hope Woodby. Eric Donenfeld is a local Rotarian and says he truly enjoys hands-on community service projects.
