Quality Collision Group (QCG) announced its continued expansion, entering Florida — its 13th state — with the addition of 1st Class Auto, offering certified luxury vehicle repair services.
Located in Pompano Beach, 1st Class Auto is South Florida’s destination for luxury auto body repair and refinishing. With an impressive certification list including Audi, Aston Martin, Acura NSX, Jaguar, Porsche, Range Rover and Tesla, 1st Class Auto exemplifies what it means to deliver manufacturer-approved repairs. These certifications represent a rigorous standard of training, equipment and repair procedures that ensure that every vehicle is restored precisely to factory specifications.
“1st Class Auto has earned a stellar reputation for precision, craftsmanship, and technological expertise in the industry,” said Blake Farley, executive vice president of operations at QCG. “Welcoming 1st Class Auto into our national network of shops allows us to continue setting the bar for what premium collision repair should look like.”
As QCG continues to expand, its vision remains clear: to build a connected network of premier repair facilities that elevate industry standards and ensure every vehicle and every driver is protected by the highest level of repair integrity. Florida’s vibrant automotive culture makes it a natural step in QCG’s growth.
“For us, growth isn’t about adding more locations — it’s about what each shop brings to the table,” Matt Robbins, COO at QCG, told Autobody News. “Welcoming 1st Class Auto reinforces our capability-first approach, ensuring that every facility meets the highest standards of precision and expertise. Florida is an exciting market, and this addition strengthens our ability to deliver exceptional results for every vehicle we touch.”
FOCUS Investment Banking acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor to 1st Class Auto. Managing Directors Cole Strandberg and Giorgio Andonian represented the sellers, facilitating a successful partnership with QCG.
