ABRA Auto Body & Glass Expands Franchises in Iowa

Ford dealership owner opens latest ABRA franchise.

Minnesota-based ABRA Auto Body & Glass announced the opening of a new 30,000-square-foot franchise repair center located in Sioux City, Iowa.

Rob Brooks, owner of the new ABRA Auto Body & Glass franchise and Sioux City Ford, says, “Our goal is to be the No. 1 collision center in Sioux City, and we’ll achieve this goal because of ABRA’s reputation in the insurance community.”

Brooks has extensive automotive experience and plans to employ nine additional full-time body and paint technicians.

Mark Wahlin, ABRA’s vice president of Franchise Development, says, “All of us at ABRA are extremely excited to have Sioux City join our franchise group. Their professional staff and leadership fit perfectly with our corporate philosophy and will perform up the high standards expected of all ABRA centers.”

The facility is located at 2001 East Sixth Street and will offer customers collision repair, towing, on-site glass repair/replacement and rental car arrangements.

Brooks says, “What will differentiate us from our competitors is the commitment to getting it right the first time, on time.”

ABRA has 107 repair facilities in 12 states.
