Chicago, Illinois - October 17, 2016 - The Boyd Group Inc. (the "Boyd Group" or "Boyd") today announced the October 17, 2016 opening of a new collision repair center in Greenville, North Carolina. The center previously operated as the collision repair department of Hastings Ford and served the community for 46 years. Greenville is located about 85 miles east of Raleigh, North Carolina and the center is located on a busy thoroughfare in close proximity to Interstate 264.
"This is our first location in the Greenville area and complements our centers located around Raleigh, Charlotte and Wilmington," said Tim O'Day, President and COO of the Boyd Group's U.S. operations. "This additional presence in the state will allow us to better serve new customers and our insurance partners and our co-location with a car dealership gives us a prime opportunity to introduce dealership customers to Gerber's high level of quality and service."
The Boyd Group is continuously looking to add new collision repair locations to its existing network in Canada and the U.S. Interested collision repair center owners are asked to contact Kim Allen at the contact coordinates below for more information.
