He has also been in inforamtion technology either in sales or as a consultantn in various roles for 24 years.

He enjoys being an Ambassador because he can quickly learn about new businesses and business developments in Lisle.

He enjoys perfecting his golf swing, reading everything he can and watching quality movies. His favorite quote is by Winston Churchill who stated that "Success is not final, and failure is not fatal.

CHAMBER RAVES
Midwest Auto Body of Lisle is giving back to the community. Customers who spend more than $500 on auto body repairs, will receive a $25 gift card to a local small business. This program is a way to help support businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19 while also raising awareness among their customers about small businesses in the area. Midwest Auto Body has now purchased $2,000 in gift card investments in Lisle businesses.

Midwest also supports students through their “Dents and Dings for Education” program which donates all proceeds for minor repairs of $100 or less to the Lisle Education Foundation, which supports local students through scholarships. Dents and dings really add up, to date Midwest has donated a little over $2,000 to the fund.

According to Amish Patel, General Manager of Midwest Auto Body of Lisle, “My family has always believed that we rise by lifting others. We are proud to showcase other local small businesses during the pandemic and equally as proud to support Lisle area students through the Education Foundation. We are all in this together.” Amish Patel additionally gives back to his community by being a member of the Lisle Rotary Club.
