VIVE Collision has acquired Lund Collision in Bridgewater, MA, according to Zoran Advisors and Hammer Group Holdings, which served as sell-side advisors.
The announcement of the deal, completed in March, was intentionally delayed to ensure a smooth transition for employees, customers and partners.
Lund Collision, an I-CAR certified, 11,000-square-foot facility, has been a trusted name in Plymouth County. Under Eric Lund’s leadership, the shop made significant investments in modern equipment, workforce development and customer satisfaction, nearly doubling its revenue in recent years. Known for its strong culture, technical excellence and relationships with insurance carriers, Lund Collision has become a model for operational performance in the region.
“Selling Lund Collision was a major milestone for my family,” said Lund. “Zoran [Pipercic of Zoran Advisors] and Peter [Alexopoulos of Hammer Group Holdings] were instrumental in helping us prepare our financials, optimize our lease and navigate a competitive sale process. After evaluating several buyers, we chose VIVE because of their commitment to our team, our values and the community we serve.”
Backed by Greenbriar Equity Group, VIVE Collision is a leading MSO in the $36 billion collision repair industry. This acquisition is part of VIVE’s strategy to grow by acquiring high-performing, culture-driven businesses. In 2024, VIVE doubled its footprint in Massachusetts and continues to target markets with limited certified repair capacity.
VIVE Collision currently operates 61 locations across nine states in the Northeast, with a focus on advanced repair capabilities, technician development and best-in-class service.
In 2021, with the help of Hammer Group Holdings, VIVE acquired its first single-location shop, Clarkstown International Collision, which served as the launch pad for its expansion in New York. Under the leadership of Vartan Jerian and his team, VIVE has established itself as a regional consolidator focused on the Northeast’s fragmented collision repair markets.
Together, Zoran Advisors and Hammer Group Holdings have advised on more than 400 transactions across the collision repair, mechanical, glass, dealer, tire, transportation and salvage sectors. Their buyer network includes both private equity firms and strategic consolidators such as Caliber Collision, Gerber/Boyd Group, ABRA, Crash Champions, Joe Hudson, Service King, Quality Collision and VIVE Collision, as well as fast-growing independent MSOs. Their experience allows them to deliver unmatched value and execution certainty to collision shop owners across North America.
