Classic Collision expanded its reach in East Texas with the recent acquisition of two MSO groups, marking a strategic extension of its business operations. This move not only increases Classic Collision's presence but also strengthens its commitment to providing top-tier vehicle repair services across the region.
The acquisitions include three locations previously owned by Burl Richards: Allstar Collision, Burl's Collision and Henderson Collision. Over the past four decades, the shops have become known for their advanced technology and high customer satisfaction ratings.
“Our commitment to our customers is a streamlined, stress-free repair experience, allowing our legacy to shine brilliantly these past 40-plus years. I believe it is time to hand over the reins to Classic Collision to continue our mission,” said Richards, who is also president of the Auto Body Association of Texas.
Additionally, Classic Collision has taken over four operations from a fourth-generation family-owned group in Lufkin, TX, which started with A&B Body Shop in 1980. Following the success of their initial venture, the family expanded to include Precision Autobody, Elite Collision and Quality Paint & Body, serving both Angelina and Houston counties.
"Our goal was to help our customers return to their daily routines and lives with ease of mind, and I know the Classic family will uphold that commitment. We look forward to being part of the growth in Texas," said former owner Dustin Shoemaker.
“We have achieved another milestone by expanding our footprint in Texas, having seven new locations join our team. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome our newest teammates to the Classic family,” said Toan Nguyen, CEO of Classic Collision.
