Effective June 1, the newly rebranded Ray’s Collision of Columbus, GA, became the latest location of Wren’s Collision Group, continuing the company’s strategic growth across Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
“We’re incredibly honored that Dana Hendrix has entrusted us with continuing the legacy they’ve built here in Columbus,” said James Wren, owner of Wren’s Collision Group. “As a family-owned and operated business, we understand the pride and dedication it takes to run a shop rooted in community.”
The Columbus location, centrally situated in the city, will provide a comprehensive range of collision repair services, including expert frame repair, paint refinishing and insurance claims assistance. Backed by cutting-edge technology and highly trained technicians, the new division aims to blend technical precision with Wren’s hallmark of hometown service.
“As we continue to grow in Southwest Georgia and now Alabama, our mission remains the same — to invest in the people and communities we serve,” Wren added. “Columbus is a vibrant, forward-moving city, and we’re proud to become a part of its future.”
COO Roland Clerie reinforced the company’s core philosophy: “Customer service, quality workmanship, and long-term relationships aren’t just goals — they’re the foundation of everything we do. We still believe in doing business the right way — with integrity, real value, and the honor of a handshake.”
Founded in 1954 by Ray Wren, the company has long upheld values rooted in family, integrity, and service. Co-owner Phil Wren noted those principles continue to guide the company’s growth.
“Expanding into Columbus means carrying forward that proud tradition while building new relationships and supporting a new community,” said Phil Wren. “We’re committed to making sure every customer feels the same respect and care that has defined Wren’s for more than 70 years.”
Wren’s Collision Group has earned a reputation across the Southeast for its exceptional repairs, customer satisfaction and community engagement. With the Columbus team already integrated, the company anticipates a seamless transition and a strong local impact.
