ABRA Opens First Metro-Phoenix Center - BodyShop Business

ABRA Opens First Metro-Phoenix Center

ABRA Auto Body & Glass has announced the awarding of a franchise to Dennis Lunde. The repair center, located at 16784 North 88th Drive in Peoria, Ariz., is the 101st repair center in the ABRA organization and the first to be opened in the Phoenix area.

When asked why he pursued an ABRA franchise, Lunde responded, “I have been affiliated with the Rydell Automotive Group for years, first in Fargo, N.D., and for the last eight years as the owner of what is now Peoria Volkswagen. Over the years, several of the other Rydell dealers have been awarded an ABRA franchise, and the metrics they are delivering by being part of the ABRA system are extremely impressive. I look forward to duplicating these results at ABRA-Peoria with the assistance of ABRA’s corporate staff.”

ABRA Auto Body & Glass-Peoria is located next to Peoria Volkswagen and is a Volkswagen-certified repair center.

“We are proud to have Peoria as part of the ABRA team, and know they will enjoy great success under Dennis’ leadership,” said Tim Adelmann, ABRA’s executive vice president-business development. “We have been evaluating the Phoenix market for quite some time, and this franchise center is just the first of approximately ten centers that we plan to open in the near future.”
