Certified Collision Group Expands 1stCERTIFIED Platform to 26 Shops in Four States

CCG continues to expand from California into Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

1stCertified-logoCertified Collision Group (CCG), which recently announced its 1stCERTIFIED initiative, has now announced nine additional facilities – to total 26 – as CCG expands from California into Idaho, Washington and Oregon.

One of the new affiliates joining CCG is Parks Royal Body Works of Boise, Idaho. Almost 40 years ago, Ted Thornton and a partner took the opportunity to purchase their facility. His son, Matt Thornton, grew up in the family business and eventually became its owner in 1999. Their family, employees and community have depended for almost seven decades on Parks Royal and its commitment to craftsmanship, service and professionalism.

“Having the 1stCERTIFIED brand complement our current values and partners is crucial to us in today’s marketplace,” said Matt. “The ability to participate in a larger network – while maintaining our individual identity – is the kind of support we’ve been looking for. My family and our staff are excited to grow into the future with the Certified Collision Group.”

Thomas Adams, CCG’s managing director added, “Parks Royal is a prime example of how CCG will grow its 1stCERTIFIED initiative: adding unique value for well-branded, owner-operated, performance-driven organizations. Our ability to quickly expand into multiple markets is based on the value of our non-intrusive, high-performance solutions to both qualifying collision repair businesses and the auto insurance community.”
