About Us: Nathan’s Body Shop & Wrecker Service, Inc.
It all began long ago in a galaxy far, far away… well, not quite a galaxy, but Jupiter, Florida, which might feel like a world away from Franklin, North Carolina.
Our Roots: A Legacy in Auto Body and Towing
Nathan’s Body Shop & Wrecker Service, Inc. is the product of a proud family legacy in the auto body and towing industry. Nathan grew up surrounded by the hum of tow trucks and the craftsmanship of auto body repairs. His father, Steve Hursey, owned the renowned Steve’s Wrecker Service & Body Shop in Jupiter, Florida, from the 1970s until 2000. Known for its signature yellow and black trucks and stellar reputation, Steve’s business became a trusted name in the region.
Nathan inherited his father’s passion and skill, learning the trade from the ground up. After high school, Nathan gained even further hands-on experience working in body shops and driving tow trucks. But with towing and auto body in his blood, it wasn’t long before Nathan decided to start his own business.
Nathan’s Body Shop & Wrecker Service
Our Journey: From Jupiter, Florida, to North Carolina
In 2007, Nathan opened his first location in Franklin, NC, serving Macon County with top-notch auto body repairs and towing services. As the business thrived, Nathan expanded in 2014 with a second location in Sylva, NC, to serve Jackson County and surrounding areas. Over the years, Nathan’s Body Shop & Wrecker Service has become one of the most respected names in North Carolina and even surrounding states like Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina.
