WOODLAND AUTO BODY WAS FOUNDED IN 1924 BY ALBERT REDMER. FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS IT OPERATED UNDER THE NAME OF WOODLAND TRUCK PAINTING COMPANY EXCLUSIVELY AS A TRUNK PAINTING COMPANY. WOODLAND WAS THE PREEMINENT OIL TRUCK PAINTING FACILITY FOR THE MAJORITY OF OIL DELIVERY TRUCKS IN THE CENTRAL CONNECTICUT AND WESTERN MASS AREAS. SOLON L. WEINER PURCHASED WOODLAND IN 1952 AND CHANGED THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS TO WOODLAND AUTO BODY. WHILE MOST OF THE BUSINESS WAS STILL DEDICATED TO TRUCK PAINTING, WOODLAND BEGAN TO REPAIR AUTOMOBILES AS WELL. WHEN THE OIL EMBARGO HIT IN 1973, WOODLAND SHIFTED IT'S FOCUS TO BECOME PREDOMINATELY AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. BY 1985, WOODLAND WAS TOTALLY OUT OF THE PAINTING BUSINESS, AND NOW EXISTS STRICTLY AS A PREMIER BODY REPAIR FACILITY FOR ALL MAKES AND MODELS OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS. HOWARD N. WEINER JOINED THE BUSINESS IN 1977 AFTER A CAREER AS THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS AT CONNECTICUT COLLEGE IN NEW LONDON. HE IS THE PRESIDENT AND CEO. JOHN BADAL JOINED WOODLAND IN 1989. HE IS THE MANAGER OF THE PAINT SHOP. WHILE HE SUPERVISES ALL AREAS OF REFINISHING AND CAR CLEANING, HIS AREA OF EXPERTISE IS IN THE COLOR MATCHING DEPARTMENT PRISCILLA MONSTREAM IS THE OFFICE MANAGER. SHE JOINED WOODLAND IN 1993 AFTER A LONG CAREER WITH THE SAVINGS BANK OF MANCHESTER. IT'S PRISCILLA'S CHEERY VOICE AND EVER PRESENT SMILE THAT GREETS EVERYONE. SHE KEEPS US ON OUR TOES, AND ESSENTIALLY, HOLDS THE WHOLE OPERATION TOGETHER. THIS CORE GROUP OF MANAGERS IS JOINED BY A LARGE GROUP OF DEDICATED AND HARD WORKING EMPLOYEES, EACH WITH THEIR OWN AREA OF EXPERTISE. ADD IT ALL TOGETHER AND YOU SEE WHY WOODLAND AUTO BODY IS THE REPAIR SHOP OF CHOICE FOR THE DISCRIMINATING MOTORIST.
