Classic Collision, LLC, announced the acquisition of two regional collision repair centers: Lones Body Shop in Huntsville, AL, and Steed’s Collision Center in Mississippi.
The acquisition expands Classic Collision’s service network across the Southeastern U.S. and brings in two established businesses with a strong focus on OEM-certified, customer-first repairs.
Steed’s Collision Center operates locations in Biloxi, Ocean Springs and Vancleave, MS. Known for its factory-grade repairs and certified technicians, the company is both Tesla-certified and I-CAR Gold Class recognized. Steed’s prides itself on using advanced equipment and offering OEM-quality repairs with a focus on safety and transparency.
Lones Body Shop, a family-owned business with over four decades of experience, has long served Huntsville with a range of cosmetic and structural auto body services. The shop is backed by multiple certifications and offers a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring peace of mind for customers.
“We are pleased to welcome the talented teams at Lones Body Shop and Steed’s Collision Center to the Classic family,” said Toan Nguyen, CEO of Classic Collision. “These additions support our strategic growth in the Southeast and allow us to continue offering best-in-class repairs and customer service.”
Classic Collision was founded in 1983 in Atlanta, GA. It has grown to more than 300 locations in 20 states.
In 2024, Classic Collision hit the 300-store mark by expanding into new markets in East Texas and Southern California and strengthening its presence in key regions like Florida, Virginia and North Carolina.
