August 20, 2018—Nearly 300 collision repair shop owners and managers attending the Collision Advice Legacy Group’s Business Council Symposium, sponsored by Axalta Coating Systems, celebrated with a local Nashville veteran who received a newly restored vehicle from the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides program.

The gifting was a much-needed lift for U.S. Army Veteran Ronald Dahl who received keys to a 2010 Nissan Altima donated by State Farm and restored by Randy’s Body Shop in Paducah, Ky., with parts and materials donated by a number of additional NABC members.

“As a former shop owner, military veteran and now an industry consultant, it is such an honor and privilege to partner with the NABC, Axalta and one of our members, Randy’s Body Shop, to give back to someone who has served our country. We are thankful to NABC for the opportunity to be a part of such a heart-warming event,” said Mike Anderson, president of Collision Advice.
