VIVE Collision has opened its 52nd location, Xtreme Collision Center Powered by VIVE, in Morrisville, VT, marking the company’s entry into its ninth East Coast state and reinforcing its commitment to redefining the collision repair industry.
“Adding Vermont to our footprint is another significant milestone in our journey to reshape the collision repair industry,” said Vartan Jerian Jr., CEO of VIVE Collision. “Our approach isn’t just about growth; it’s about transforming the repair experience. By focusing on quality, safety and innovation, we’re not only setting a new standard for our customers but also for the technicians and teams who power our shops.”
The Morrisville facility spans 5,800 square feet and is located at 897 Brooklyn St.
The announcement comes less than two months after VIVE celebrated the opening of its 50th location, signaling the company’s rapid growth and focus on optimizing operations in existing markets rather than building in untapped areas.
VIVE emphasizes repair quality through ongoing training in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and electric vehicle (EV) technologies. Many of its locations are certified by leading automakers, including Porsche, BMW, Audi and Jaguar & Land Rover, ensuring adherence to the highest safety and precision standards.
“Our goal is to change the mindset of this industry,” Jerian added. “It’s not just about how fast a repair can be completed; it’s about flawless execution at every step. We empower our technicians to focus on safety and quality.”
VIVE Collision provides collision repair services to customers across New York, New Jersey, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Vermont.
In 2023, VIVE Collision added 18 shops, nearly doubling the number it started the year with. It increased its strong regional foothold in the Northeast U.S. via key deals like the purchases of two-shop Collex Collision Experts of New Jersey and two-location M3 Collision Group, plus other single shop additions.
VIVE ended 2023 with a successful exit by early PE investor Garnett Station. Its new PE sponsor, Greenbriar Equity Group, aims to support VIVE’s ongoing growth initiatives.
In October 2024, VIVE reached 50 locations with the acquisition of a shop in Connecticut.
