Celebrating his eleventh year as owner/operator of Desert Ridge Collision Center, Marcelo Testero brings to the community his lifelong heritage, knowledge and skill to the collision repair industry. Born May 5, 1957 to a family full of collision artisans, Marcelo can trace his family roots to 1896 in Italy where his family built horse drawn funeral carriages. During WWII, his family relocated to Argentina where they established themselves into a full service auto body repair company. Marcelo literally grew up inside the family’s body shop, and as in many European countries their living quarters were right above their businesses. Marcelo played inside their shop and learned his craft at a very early age. This was the beginning of his lifelong passion and would carry on with his family traditions. Desert Ridge Collision Center utilizing the highest level of development in the industry along with modern techniques and methods, Marcelo looks forward to a lengthy relationship with the citizens of Bullhead City/Mohave Valley area and Laughlin, Nevada.
