In the immediate aftermath of Driven Brands' recent acquisition of ABRA’s franchise locations, an official for the growing company expressed excitement regarding what the future holds.
On the heels of last week's news that Driven Brands had acquired the ABRA franchise system, the company has announced that Tim Adelmann of ABRA will be joining Driven Brands as part of the acquisition.
CARSTAR confirms that it remains on track to hit $1.5 billion in sales and open a 1,000 shops by 2020, achieving a revenue of $850 billion in 2017 alone.
Chris Kozina will oversee CARSTAR North America, Maaco Auto Painting and Collision Repair and Drive N'Style Brands and serve on the Executive Leadership Team.
As the connected car market grows and OEM data becomes more accessible, the better position collision repair shops will be in to repair vehicles equipped with advanced technology. Once you understand the connected car landscape and the opportunities available to you, you can prepare for that future.
Jose Costa is stepping down as the group president for the Paint & Collision division of Driven Brands. Costa became group president in October 2015, when Driven Brands acquired CARSTAR. Prior to that, he had served as the president of Maaco.
Medallia Inc. has partnered with Driven Brands to capture customer feedback and provide cohesive insights tailored to each brand and franchise location, including Maaco and CARSTAR.
The event benefited the Driven Brands Charitable Foundation and supported the Children’s Miracle Network, with a final fundraising amount of more than $80,000.
