About Us


G.J.S. Collision Center, Inc
Dba: Ernie Patti Collision Center

My name Gene J. Staat Sr. I have run Ernie Patti Collision Center for over 18 years, previously I worked as Collision Technician for 10 years.

In the year 2005, Ernie Patti decided to retire from the collision business and offered me the opportunity to purchase the business. My goal has always been to put out the best repair product that there is available. I want to give the customer a great repair so they will remember us , and offer referrals to their friends and associates.


Tony Patzius is my partner. He is the very best technician I have ever been associated with in the years I have been in the business.

My son, Josh Staat who has worked with me 10 years as my Assistant Manager, understands what it takes to keep our customers happy.

I know our future in the area can be successful and we can continue to provide our customers with the highest quality and great service, that puts our company second to none.

As a company we plan in making sure we are a part of the new development in the area that makes the south St. Louis City area even better in the future.
