Chicago, Illinois — October 21, 2014 — The Boyd Group Inc. (the “Boyd Group”) today announced the opening of a collision repair location in Brunswick, Georgia. The location is approximately 13,500 square feet and previously operated under the name Advanced Collision Center.
“We are excited about opening this new center as it plays an important role in expanding our geographic footprint and, since it is about 70 miles between our locations in Savannah, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida, it bridges a gap in our brand presence as well as offering another local option for our customers and insurance partners in the region,” said Tim O’Day, President and COO of the Boyd Group’s U.S. operations.
“With Brunswick being one of the busiest automobile shipping ports in the United States, we know the people there know and care about their cars,” Mr. O’Day added. “We look forward to serving them and assure them they will receive the same high quality service at Brunswick as in all of our Gerber repair centers.”
The Boyd Group is continuously looking to add new collision repair locations to its existing network in Canada and the U.S. Interested collision repair center owners are asked to contact Kim Allen at the contact coordinates below for more information.
