April 6, 2023
Quality Collision Group has completed an acquisition of 14-shop MSO Schaefer Autobody Centers of Missouri.

Quality Collision Group (QCG) has completed an acquisition of Schaefer Autobody Centers, Business Wire reports.

Schaefer Autobody is based in St. Louis, Missouri, and has been in business since 1985. They have 14 locations that will begin to be shifted to the QCG network “immediately.”

QCG CEO Jerod Guerin was compelled to approach owner Scott Schaefer because of the company’s “leadership position in the market” and saw a potential growth opportunity.

Following the merger, Schaefer will be joining QCG’s executive team, and plans for Schaefer Autobody to keep its identity.

“The Schaefer way of doing things isn’t going away; it’s only getting better,” Schaefer stated. “Joining Quality Collision Group allows us to expand and deliver the best results for our customers and clients.”

As Schaefer moves to his new executive role, Schaefer Autobody’s head of human resources Jaime Matthews will fill the vice president role of Schaefer Autobody Centers.
