Industry veterans Mark and Bea Bruno sold their shops to Classic Collision and entered the calibration space after seeing a market gap
Kissimmee, Fla.—Car ADAS Solutions has announced the opening of the third ADAS Calibrations of Florida location, a new state-of-the-art calibration center in Kissimmee. This center, the latest in a series of expansions, is operated by collision industry veterans Mark and Bea Bruno.
“My wife and I have been in the collision business our entire lives,” Mark said. “After selling our previous shops to Classic Collision, we were looking for the next big opportunity. Reading about ADAS calibrations and seeing the market gap, we knew this was it.”
The new Kissimmee center follows the successful launches of their first location in West Palm Beach and their second in Fort Lauderdale. “We realized there was a significant need for ADAS calibration services in Florida. Our centers aim to fill this void by offering comprehensive, manufacturer-standard calibrations,” Mark said.
Kevin Caruso, Chief Operating Officer of Car ADAS Solutions, praised the couple’s dedication and vision. “Mark and Bea’s commitment to making the roads a safer place aligns perfectly with our mission. We are thrilled to support their expansion and look forward to seeing their continued success.”
The journey to opening these centers was not without its challenges. “Finding the right location was a hurdle,” Mark said. “We struggled for months until Car ADAS Solutions stepped in with their real estate expertise. Elizabeth Rutter was instrumental in securing our locations by explaining our clean and professional operation to landlords, who often have reservations about automotive businesses.”
Once the new location was secured, the next challenge was staffing. “Car ADAS Solutions provided immense support in this area. They assisted us in finding and training skilled technicians, ensuring our team was fully prepared to deliver top-notch services from day one,” Mark said. “We initially sent our technicians to training in Georgia, but now we’ve also had Chris Koepell come down to train our team on-site.
“We’re in this for the long haul. We’ve invested heavily in our facilities, from the latest diagnostic equipment to specialized calibration tools.” We sleep well at night knowing we’ve put families back in their cars safely.”
Reflecting on their rapid expansion, he noted, “Opening our first location in West Palm Beach was a learning curve, but it set the stage for our subsequent centers. Each new opening has been smoother.”
Looking ahead, Mark said that he and Bea plan to continue expanding within Florida. “We’re eyeing new locations in Pompano Beach, Orlando, and Port St. Lucie. With each new center, we aim to extend our reach and the availability of ADAS calibration services.”
