ABRA Auto Body & Glass announced the addition of a new location in Parkesburg, Pa., approximately 50 miles west of Philadelphia.

Located at 5547 Lincoln Hwy., the facility comes to ABRA through the Jan. 12 acquisition of LC Auto Body, according to the company.

The 16,000-square-foot repair center has 31 bays and 27 employees, who were welcomed by ABRA Chief Operating Officer Jim Kessler and other company leaders on Jan. 15.

“This team is well-known in the community for quality work, and we’re glad to have them as part of the ABRA family,” Kessler said. “We look forwarding to providing customers the same care and craftsmanship they’ve come to expect.”

The newly acquired center expands ABRA’s operations further west into Pennsylvania, and complements 27 existing centers in the Philadelphia, southern New Jersey and Delaware region.

ABRA now has 338 repair centers in 26 states across the United States.

“This is the first of several repair centers we’re looking to add in 2018,” added Kessler. “We’re excited to continue our growth as a quality and service leader.”
