Best of Florida 2025.
Our 2025 recognition marked the beginning of this back-to-back story. Read the Guide to Florida Spotlight celebrating the people, work, and community behind Williams Paint & Body Shop.
Bumps, scrapes, and fender benders happen — sometimes in the grocery store parking lot, sometimes in the middle of rush hour. For 15 years, Williams Paint & Body Shop has been turning those "you've got to be kidding me" moments into repaired, repainted, and road-ready cars for families across Jackson County and the surrounding communities. From minor dents to major collision damage, their team of I-CAR certified technicians knows how to get vehicles back in shape safely and efficiently. And because they're rooted in the Marianna community, the service comes with a personal touch — one that big chain shops can't quite replicate.
Locally owned and operated, Eddie and Theresa Williams have built their business on trust, craftsmanship, and treating every customer like family. Eddie was born and raised in the body shop and tirelessly strives to pass along skills of the trade to youth and new apprentices at the shop. None of this would be possible without the support and the heart of the shop, Theresa. They both willingly give their time and support to local school and community programs, making Jackson County one of the best places to live and work.
What makes Williams Paint & Body Shop stand out is how they take the hassle out of a stressful situation. They work directly with insurance companies, so drivers don't get stuck in a maze of calls and claims. Add to that their Gold Class® collision repair certification — something only about 15% of shops nationwide hold — and you've got proof their crew doesn't just fix cars, they restore them the right way.
It's no wonder they're consistently named Jackson County's Best Body Shop year after year. Now celebrating their 15th year in business, Williams Paint & Body Shop has earned more than just loyal customers — they've earned the 2025 Best of Florida Award. It's recognition that feels less like a plaque on the wall and more like a thank-you from neighbors who count on them to keep local roads rolling. Whether it's a scratch that bothers you every time you walk to your car or a collision that leaves you wondering if it's even fixable, they bring the skills, experience, and heart to make it right. Around here, peace of mind comes with a fresh coat of paint.
