Patrick Sampoll (owner) Discusses Painting With Students
Patrick Teaches Students A Lesson On Buffing
The collision repair students from Butler Community College visited Elite Auto Body in El Dorado, Kansas. The purpose of the class trip was to give the students an contextual learning experience of what the collision repair industry has to offer. Patrick Sampoll, the owner of Elite Auto Body, did a great job of demonstrating and conveying the expectations of the industry. He encouraged the students to show up to class everyday, be on time everyday, and to do their best. Patrick said, “once you complete the program, you either have what it takes or not…I all depends on how hard you try while in school.”
We would like thank Patrick for taking the time to help train the technicians of tomorrow.

Elite Auto Body Joins Two Organizations!
Elite Auto Body had their ribbon cutting for the Chamber of Commerce last Wednesday the 18th. The shop is proud to be a member of the Chamber along with many other small businesses in the area. Organizations such as these are the ones that help the independent business such as ourselves out. Don’t get me wrong though, the Chamber of Commerce also helps out the big companies too! Elite Auto Body also joined the National Federation of Independent Business. This organization keeps small businesses up to date on Congress’ new bills, elections and upcoming issues, not only in the state but also for federal issues that may affect small business owners. Also look for Elite Auto Body in the 12th Annual El Dorado Open Car Show this year. More information found here. Elite Auto Body will be sponsoring the 1st Place trophy and setting up a booth in the car show to remind the community of our services. Thanks for reading! We’ll keep you posted when events get closer!
Patrick Sampoll, Elite Auto Body – His Story and Start
I’ve always had a strong passion for vehicles. Anything with a motor and wheels grasped my attention right away. When my brother and I were young we would always help my grandpa with his 1963 Mercury Comet. Anytime a car show approached we were the ones that helped wash and wax the car out in the yard. We spent hours detailing every inch of that car before we took it down to show. Often times bringing home some kind of award. I knew then my blood was enriched with the love for vehicles. As I grew up, I watched my older brother work on his vehicles, and I was always wanting to help. Handing tools was as far as I was qualified at the time. I always knew I would end up making a career out of the auto industry somehow. While in high school, I took two years of Auto Technology at Butler Community College. I learned a lot that I never even imagined happened with cars. Throughout the two year course I learned that I enjoyed working on motors and diagnosing problems but that going home everyday with grease and oil in your hair just wasn’t for me. That is when I decided to get into the auto body side of cars and trucks. After graduating high school and the Auto Tech course I enrolled in Collision Repair at Butler. I took the two year course and knew this was what I wanted to do. Everyday we learned more and more about it. I began to enjoy it as time went on. I’ve now graduated both courses and love what I do, which is why I have started Elite Auto Body. I believe the possibilities are endless and you never know what will happen until you try.
I invite you to come visit me for all of your collision repair, auto painting, and detailing needs. Your business will be appreciated and I look forward to serving you.
