Quality Collision Group (QCG) announced the acquisition of LaMettry’s Collision, a family-owned business known for exceptional service and unwavering commitment to OEM repair standards.
The latest acquisition brings fast-growing QCG to 85 facilities throughout the U.S.
LaMettry’s Collision was started by Richard LaMettry in 1976 in his garage. In 1987, he left the industry, and his wife Joanne took over. After graduating from college, son Justin joined in 2002, followed by son Randall in 2006.
LaMettry's has become a trusted name in collision repair, focusing on manufacturer-recommended procedures by certified technicians. It now operates 14 locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, maintaining a strong reputation and community presence.
QCG, which recently celebrated its four-year anniversary, focuses its growth strategy on MSOs like LaMettry’s that align with QCG’s “no compromise” philosophy. LaMettry’s brings 22 OEM certifications to consumers, including luxury brands like Alfa Romeo, Audi, Corvette, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Rivian and Volkswagen. In addition, LaMettry’s is one of the few Tesla-authorized shops in Minnesota.
“I believe the acquisition of LaMettry’s to be a pivotal moment in Quality Collision Group’s mission,” said Jerod Guerin, CEO and founder of QCG. “LaMettry’s OE-focused business model fits perfectly within what I envisioned for QCG. We're thrilled to see how the addition of LaMettry’s will further influence the growth of our company.
“It is extremely rare in the collision repair industry to find a large MSO that prioritizes OE repair procedures and parts,” Guerin continued. “I saw early on that LaMettry’s was a diamond in this space and was eager to add them to the QCG team.”
“We’ve built our reputation on a foundation of trust, quality, and customer satisfaction,” said Joanne LaMettry on behalf of the LaMettry family. “Quality Collision Group allows our staff to continue our legacy while expanding our capabilities and resources, ensuring our customers continue to receive the best collision repair services.”
LaMettry’s will join the Quality Collision Group portfolio alongside the five currently QCG-owned Master Collision locations, bringing the facility count to 19 in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul market.
