Powered by Family. At Elizabeth Truck Center (ETC), we’ve spent nearly 50 years perfecting the fine art of truck customization and collision repair. With unmatched attention to detail, performance, fit, and finish, we service everything from school buses, coach buses, dump trucks, and municipal vehicles (including street sweepers, snow plows, fire trucks, garbage trucks), to roll-off trucks and tractors — if it’s a commercial vehicle, we can handle it. Whether you’re looking for custom fabrication, show-stopping upgrades, or expert collision repairs, we’re your trusted partner for all things heavy-duty. A Collision Powerhouse
Elizabeth Truck Center is proud to operate some of the largest and busiest heavy collision repair facilities on the East Coast. Our highly skilled teams completed over 3,000 collision jobs last year alone, and we continue to deliver fast, reliable results without compromising quality. We don’t just fix — our goal is to make it Better Than New. Insurance Claims? We’ve Got You Covered. Accidents are stressful — but insurance claims don’t have to be. Our in-house claims department, led by Brian Ambos in Elizabeth, NJ and Steve Salerno in Staten Island, NY, work directly with insurance companies to streamline the process and remove the guesswork. We advocate for your best outcome and keep your downtime to a minimum. RV & Motorhome Experts
We offer full-service RV and motorhome collision repair and restoration — from fiberglass, to paint, and glass work. Whether you need minor cosmetic work or a major rebuild, our team is equipped to handle it all. Over 50 Years of Family-Owned Excellence
Elizabeth Truck Center was founded in the 1970s by Steve Pesce Sr. in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood, originally specializing in Corvette repair. Known as “Senior,” he passed the torch to his sons, Anthony and Steven, who now lead the company alongside the third generation of Pesces. Today, ETC operates from three state-of-the-art locations:
Staten Island, NY
Matawan, NJ
Elizabeth, NJ
Together, they employ nearly 100 skilled professionals committed to keeping your fleet moving. Chrome & Tow Parts: More Than Just Shine
