ABRA Acquires Colorado Repair Center
ABRA Auto Body & Glass, a Minneapolis-based damaged vehicle repair company, has acquired Advanced Paint & Body in Pueblo West, Colorado. This facility brings the total number of ABRA repair centers in Colorado to 18, and overall to 97 in eleven states.“ABRA has been operating in Colorado since late 1997 when we started with two acquired repair centers,” stated Rollie Benjamin, ABRA’s President and CEO. “Throughout this time we have developed close relationships with our insurance partners and their insureds, and have made a commitment to add centers that will allow us to continue offering our best-in-class service.”
ABRA-Pueblo West, which had been owned and operated by Jerry and Dawn McCarthy since it was opened in 1987, consists of 27,800 square feet.
Along with this acquisition, ABRA also announced the appointment of Keith O’Daniel as General Manager. In this position, O’Daniel will be responsible for leading the repair center and implementing ABRA’s operating system. He brings to ABRA-Pueblo West forty years of collision industry experience, including five years as a General Manager for ABRA in Minnesota.
