Auto & Truck Glass Expands in Eastern U.S.
Auto & Truck Glass, LLC (ATG) has announced that effective September 1, 2005, the company has expanded its auto glass operations in nine major metropolitan markets, mostly east of the Mississippi River.New shop expansions included Philadelphia, PA; Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Alexandria, VA; Atlanta, GA; Mobile, AL; Huntsville, AL; Birmingham, AL; and St. Louis, MO.
“We feel that ATG is extremely well positioned for market share growth by expanding our footprint into certain strategic markets,” commented Jeff Erle, President of ATG. “This, along with the recent wave of consolidation activities, is affording us new opportunities for growth that were not previously available to us.”
ATG has already had a dominant presence, particularly in the western regions of the U.S. The company is expanding its services to existing rental, fleet, and remarketing customers as well as providing glass replacement services to insurance and private party customers.
The expansion allows for many of the company’s largest customers to expand their use of ATG’s services ahead of long-term contract awards.
According to Mike Voris, ATG’s Vice President General Manager, “We have been asked by some of our long-term rental car customers to begin glass operations in these markets for quite some time. The intention is, we believe, to enhance the service levels available to them in certain areas. Customers can expect the same world class service they have always received from us at our other locations.”
Each ATG location is corporately owned and operated and utilizes full-time employee technicians. The company also uses a centralized customer care center in its Southern California headquarters to dispatch its technicians across the country.
Auto & Truck Glass, LLC is a nationwide automotive glass replacement company with core competencies focused on the fleet, rental, and auto auction markets. With corporate headquarters in Mission Viejo, California, Auto & Truck Glass has been serving these markets for over 15 years.
