Who We Are

The storied history of The Boyd Group begins with the opening of the first Boyd Autobody collision repair facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on November 1, 1990. Founder Terry Smith made his vision of clean, bright, professional, and welcoming autobody shops a reality, and ensured the Company’s focus was squarely on customer service. Guided by an astute, dedicated group of industry professionals, The Boyd Group began to flourish. Expansion followed in various cities across western Canada, and by 1995 The Boyd Group had grown to twelve locations. The Boyd Group became incorporated in 1997, opening a new chapter in the Company’s history. With a goal of becoming the true leader of the autobody industry in North America, plans for growth continued.

In 1999, Boyd gained the title of largest collision repair operator in Canada, and confidently opened the Company’s first U.S. locations. In 2004, The Boyd Group expanded its U.S. footprint, acquiring Gerber Collision & Glass and its sixteen locations, which was followed by several other multi-shop acquisitions in subsequent years. The Boyd Group also pursued growth of its auto glass business by acquiring Glass America in 2013, which significantly expanded Boyd’s auto glass business in the U.S.

The Boyd Group continued to scale its platform through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. In 2017, the Company expanded meaningfully within Canada through the acquisition of Assured Automotive, adding 68 locations and establishing The Boyd Group as the largest non-franchised collision repair operator in the country, while significantly strengthening its presence in Ontario.

In 2021, The Boyd Group further enhanced its technical capabilities with the acquisition of Mobile Auto Solutions (MAS), an industry leader in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration and remote programming.

The Company reached a major milestone in 2025, surpassing 1,000 locations across Canada and the United States, reflecting decades of disciplined growth and execution. That same year, The Boyd Group began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), further broadening its investor base and enhancing capital markets visibility.

In 2026, The Boyd Group completed the acquisition of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center, adding 258 locations in its largest transaction to date and further strengthening its scale and geographic reach across the United States.

After over 35 years in business, The Boyd Group operates in Canada and the U.S., with more than 16,000 employees at over 1,300 locations. The company continues to be guided by the principles of customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, and sound financial management. The leadership team of The Boyd Group believes that there is a significant opportunity to continue to grow the business and enhance shareholder value.
