In a strategic move to bolster its presence in the Sunshine State, Classic Collision has officially announced the acquisition of Bo’s Collision Center, a beloved institution in Ocala, Florida. This development not only signifies Classic Collision’s commitment to growth but also underscores its dedication to maintaining high standards in auto repair across the region.
Bo’s Collision Center has been a cornerstone of the Marion County community for over five decades. Founded with a strong emphasis on quality repairs and customer service, the center has built a solid reputation among local residents for its commitment to excellence. The acquisition encompasses both the West and East locations of Bo’s Collision, which have been family-owned and operated since their inception. This legacy of family ownership speaks volumes about the passion and dedication that has been poured into the business over the years.
John McMichael, the former owner of Bo’s Collision Center, expressed his thoughts on the transition, stating, “Our goal has been to provide quality repairs promptly to all our customers daily. When we looked for a company to take over what we built, we knew that Classic Collision was our top-notch choice.” McMichael’s remarks shed light on the values that have driven Bo’s Collision Center for decades – a customer-first approach centered on quality, reliability, and timeliness.
Classic Collision, under the leadership of CEO Toan Nguyen, is poised to continue this legacy. “We welcome Bo’s Collision to the Classic Collision family,” Nguyen said. “Their dedication to providing customers with exceptional service and high-quality repairs perfectly aligns with our values. This acquisition marks an exciting step forward in our mission to expand our presence in Florida.” This synergy between the two companies highlights a shared commitment to excellence in automotive services and customer satisfaction, promising seamless transitions for existing customers.

By integrating Bo’s established business model, staff, and expertise, Classic Collision aims to improve service offerings while retaining the trusted practices that have made Bo’s Collision a household name in Ocala.
From a broader perspective, this acquisition aligns with industry trends that highlight the consolidation of auto repair shops. As the automotive landscape evolves, including the rising prevalence of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and electric vehicles, many repair centers are facing the need to adapt. Larger organizations like Classic Collision can leverage economies of scale, access advanced technology, and offer competitive pricing—all of which translate to a better customer experience.
Moreover, the importance of high-quality repairs in maintaining customer trust cannot be overstated. In an age where consumers have access to vast online resources and reviews, maintaining a stellar reputation is vital. Classic Collision’s acquisition of Bo’s Collision Center allows it to build on an existing legacy of trust while implementing new processes and training to enhance service quality further.
The acquisition of Bo’s Collision Center also signifies the company’s intent to cultivate local talent and support the Ocala community. As Classic Collision integrates the workforce of Bo’s Collision, there’s potential for improved job stability and growth opportunities for employees within the newly consolidated entity. This could lead to enhanced skills training and better job prospects for local workers in the auto repair industry.
In conclusion, Classic Collision’s acquisition of Bo’s Collision Center marks not just a milestone for the company but a promising development for the community of Ocala. With a commitment to high-quality service and a focus on customer satisfaction, Classic Collision is set to not only maintain but also elevate the standards of auto repair in the region. As they embark on this new chapter, both companies are poised to create a prosperous future that honors the history of Bo’s Collision while embracing the innovations and challenges ahead in the automotive landscape.
As the news continues to unfold, it will be interesting to watch how Classic Collision weaves the legacy of Bo’s Collision Center into its operations and what new opportunities arise from this merger in the coming months.
