According to Tim Adelmann, ABRA’s executive vice president of business development, “ABRA built this repair center to meet the growing needs of vehicle owners and our insurance partners as the Memphis metro continues to expand. ABRA’s long-term plan has always been to make it convenient for the consumers in Memphis to get to a state-of-the-art ABRA repair center no matter where they happen to live or work.”

“This repair center, consisting of 13,100 square feet, is ABRA’s newest prototype model,” Adelmann said. “We will be breaking ground in February in Olive Branch, Miss., with this same footprint, allowing us to add to our coverage in that part of the metro.”
