“We have also added seven new franchises and developed four corporate centers this year for a total of 27 new centers added to our system in 2012,” Rouse added.

ABRA’s new midwest repair centers are located just outside St. Louis, MO, in the southern Illinois cities of Swansea, Glen Carbon and O’Fallon.

“Customer satisfaction has been our number one priority,” said Nick Gojmeric, founder and owner of Collision Plus Auto Body Repair Centers. “ABRA’s commitment to its customers while valuing a culture of ethics, integrity and teamwork makes it the perfect company to acquire our business.”

“For more than 70 years, our repair center has been a trusted part of the community,” said Tom Baur, owner of Ogden Auto Body. “We know ABRA will continue the commitment we’ve made to superior service over seven decades in business.”

The new Ogden location will be ABRA’s fifth repair center in Utah.

ABRA expects to continue expanding in the years ahead and is actively seeking new opportunities to acquire repair centers to its industry leading operating system as part of its aggressive national growth plans in major markets.
