Nov. 19, 2012—ABRA Auto Body & Glass recently acquired Schoonover Bodyworks and Glass, a collision repair center based in Stillwater, Minn.

“Schoonover’s has a rich history of bodywork and glass in the Stillwater area. We are extremely pleased to continue the legacy the family has built over three generations,” said Duane Rouse, president and CEO of ABRA.

Schoonover Bodyworks, which has been in business since 1938, operated two collision repair facilities prior to the acquisition. ABRA said Shoonover will continue to operate its second location in Shoreview, Minn.

“We have been truly fortunate to have served vehicle owners in the Stillwater community over the years,” said Mike Schoonover, owner of Schoonover Bodyworks. “We know our Stillwater customers will be in good hands with ABRA and receive the same personalized service and top quality workmanship they have with us over the years.”

ABRA now operates a total of 127 corporate and franchise collision repair locations throughout 14 U.S. states.
