Crash Champions is expanding its presence in Florida with the acquisition of Ideal Auto Collision, according to a press release.

Located in Hollywood, Florida, Ideal Auto Collision performs repair and refinishing work within a facility measuring over 17,500 square feet.

Having been in the area for over 40 years, Crash Champions Founder and CEO Matt Ebert cites the store’s reputation and legacy as what the organization is looking for in its future acquisitions and called it an important step in his company’s growth.

With the acquisition officially closing on August 4, Crash Champions now operates more than 50 Florida locations–only part of the company’s nationwide network of over 600 repair facilities.
