Chicago, Illinois – December 8, 2020 – The Boyd Group Inc. (the “Boyd Group”) announced the acquisition of 11 locations in California. Included in the acquisition are 10 repair centers and one intake center in the counties of Riverside and San Bernardino in southern California, east of Los Angeles.
Originating with two repair centers in 2004, these new locations were commonly branded as 1st Certified Collision Centers in 2016. Riverside County is the 10th-most populous county in the U.S., home to approximately 2.5 million people, and includes locations in Banning, Hemet, Menifee and two in Riverside. The other six repair centers, located in Grand Terrace, Hesperia, Highland, Redlands, San Bernardino and Victorville, are in San Bernardino County, the 14th-most populated county in America with a population of 2.2 million people. San Bernardino County is the largest in the U.S. and about the size of the state of West Virginia.
“We welcome these high-performing teams to Gerber and are excited to provide best-in-quality repairs and outstanding service that customers and insurance partners have come to expect in this region,” said Kevin Burnett, COO of Gerber Collision & Glass. “We remain focused on building our brand and these acquisitions demonstrate our commitment to grow throughout North America.”
