They have a vital reputation in the Palm Bay and Vero Beach areas, and this acquisition helps us continue laying the foundation to grow our presence in Florida and across the country. During these difficult market situations, Classic Collision is not slowing down plans to expand, and will continue to acquire high-end businesses across the country throughout 2021 and beyond. A highly effective integration model and proprietary tech-enabled operations playbook keep Classic Collision safely performing at a high level.”
