Bucky Adams of Zumbro Falls Valley Bodywerx has worked in the Autobody industry since 1978. He started his own autobody shop in Zumbro Falls. In November of 1997, he opened Valley Bodywerx downtown Main Street in Zumbro Falls.
Corey Adams has been working for Bucky since he was 16 years old. In high school Corey participated in the on-the-job-training program through high school working with Bucky a few hours a day in lieu a few high school classes. Corey has been working with Bucky for 29 years. Corey is the primary paint technician at Valley Bodywerx.
When Chris Adler came on board 19 years ago at Valley Bodywerx, he also participated in the on-the-job-training program through high school. Chris went on to Minnesota Southeast Technical College and completed his Collision Repair Technology Associates Degree in 2008.
Corey and Chris met at work. They started talking about being partners and buying Valley Bodywerx together years ago. This spring, Bucky decided the time was right for him to sell the business. July 1st Corey Adams and Chris Adler purchased Valley Bodywerx in Zumbro Falls from Bucky Adams. Although there is a change in ownership, the name will remain the same and Bucky will be available to assist with the new transition.
Valley Bodywerx specializes in autobody collision repair. They can arrange both autoglass repair and paintless dent repair at the shop. They’re new slogan is, “We’ll straighten things out!”
A little family background… my maiden name is Adams. Corey is my brother. Bucky is my godfather and our uncle. It’s exciting to see Bucky’s legacy continue in the small town of Zumbro Falls along with the same great team for many years to come!
