This strategic move significantly enhances the company’s footprint in the Southeast and reinforces its commitment to delivering exceptional services and solutions to both new and existing customers.
“Our goal is to broaden our market reach and strengthen our relationships with the communities we serve," Brant Wilson, CEO of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center, said.

With the integration of these locations, we are well-positioned to enhance our service delivery, streamline operations, and reinforce our regional presence. We look forward to the benefits this expansion will bring and the continued value it will provide to our customers and their communities.”
“As we welcome these new locations into our family, we’re excited about the opportunity to integrate our new team members into our existing network," Wendy Patrick, chief administrative officer, said. "By acquiring locations within and adjacent to our current markets, we can provide streamlined training and support, ensuring that everyone is aligned with our core values and operational standards. This integration not only makes the onboarding process smoother but also opens up additional growth opportunities for our new employees. They will benefit from a well-established support system and the chance to advance their careers within a thriving environment.”
