Central
Collision Center, Inc., a family owned and operated high-quality collision
repair business headquartered in Mokena, Ill., recently announced the acquisition
of Phase 1 Coach Works, a collision repair center in Tinley Park, Ill.
Located at 18040 Oak
Park Ave., the 20,000 square foot facility specializes in luxury vehicle repair
for vehicle owners in Tinley Park and neighboring communities. Phase 1 Coach
Works was previously owned by Jack and Monica Ditmars.
“This acquisition continues
our commitment to the south suburban community and the growth of the Central
Collision family,” said Michael Caruso, president and chief executive officer of
Central Collision Center, Inc. “We will continue
to develop high-quality repair centers to meet the specific needs of our
clients. Our goal is to improve the repair process for our customers.”
Phase 1 Coach
Works became Central Collision Center’s seventh location. The company
operates five traditional repair facilities located in Peotone, Mokena, Crete,
New Lenox and Oak Forest, and one same-day rapid repair facility, Central
Express, in Oak Forest.
Central Collision
Center began introducing its company culture to Phase 1 Coach Works’ team
of 13 employees on April 12, when ownership transfered.
Mike Fitzpatrick, chief operating officer for Central Collision Center, Inc., and Kristie Cooper, customer service representative manager for Central Collision Center, Inc., have been working closely with the existing Phase 1 Coach Works' team.
“The Phase 1 Coach Works
staff shares our commitment to building and maintaining positive relationships
with customers and insurers,” said Fitzpatrick. “We are very excited about this acquisition
and look forward to strengthening our brand within our existing markets.”
