At Shadow Lake Collision, our work is built around people, accountability, and repairing vehicles correctly. With locations in Omaha and Papillion, we bring together experienced collision repair professionals and developing team members who want to take pride in the work they do.
If you are looking for an opportunity to build your career in a professional collision repair environment where quality matters, we would like to hear from you.
Shadow Lake Collision has been part of the Papillion community since 2008 and expanded into Omaha in 2025. Across both locations, the company operates as one unified, family-owned and operated brand with a long-term approach to collision repair and team development.
Our repair philosophy is straightforward: when a vehicle comes to us after an accident, the work should be approached correctly.
That philosophy is supported by a structured repair process that includes OEM repair procedures, pre-scanning every vehicle, detailed repair planning, parts verification, and multiple quality assurance checkpoints throughout the repair.
For our team, that means working in an environment where the process matters just as much as the finished vehicle.
Our processes are designed around accurate repair planning and following documented repair procedures.
Quality checkpoints take place at multiple stages, including disassembly, body repair, paint, reassembly, and final detail.
Shadow Lake Collision's leadership philosophy emphasizes doing what we say we are going to do and addressing problems when something is not right.
Collision repair continues to become more technical, and the environment where repairs are performed matters.
Shadow Lake Collision operates full production facilities in both Omaha and Papillion.
The Papillion facility encompasses approximately 19,000 square feet, while the Omaha facility encompasses approximately 22,500 square feet. Both locations support modern structural, body, mechanical, glass, and refinishing operations related to collision repair.
Shadow Lake Collision is an I-CAR Gold Class collision repair business, and its technicians hold I-CAR Platinum certifications.
Depending on location and repair requirements, the facilities use documented equipment and systems including Chief and Car-O-Liner frame equipment, computerized measuring systems, GYS resistance welders, and PPG refinishing systems.
The objective is not simply to complete repairs. It is to give the team the processes, facility environment, and equipment needed to approach modern collision repair professionally.
Shadow Lake Collision is a multigenerational business with roots in the Nebraska collision repair industry and a long-term commitment to Omaha and Papillion.
Founder Eric Dawson has emphasized that developing people is central to the company. That philosophy extends into the next generation of Shadow Lake Collision leadership, with his sons involved in the business and being developed in management and detailed repair planning roles.
The goal is to build more than repair volume. Shadow Lake Collision is focused on building a team, a reputation, and a business that can continue serving the community for years to come.
For someone who takes pride in collision repair, values accountability, and wants to work with a team focused on doing the job correctly, Shadow Lake Collision offers an opportunity to become part of that mission.
