Headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., Universal Distribution Group offers shop equipment solutions for dealerships, municipalities and independent repair facilities
Charlotte, N.C.—Brixey & Meyer Capital (BMC) has announced the acquisition of Universal Distribution Group (UDG), a provider of aftermarket automotive shop equipment, including sales, installation, and technical field service.
UDG was acquired from founder and operator Josh Lyerly, who will retain an ownership stake and continue in a leadership role in the business.
Headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., UDG offers shop equipment solutions for dealerships, municipalities, and independent repair facilities. Its field service team specializes in preventative maintenance, inspections, and repairs of light and heavy-duty automotive lifts, air compressors, A/C recovery systems, wheel alignment tools, and more.
UDG represents the third investment in BMC’s aftermarket automotive equipment platform and significantly expands its geographic coverage across the Southeast. In October 2024, BMC acquired Professional Maintenance & Equipment (PME or ProMain) and Smith Equipment Solutions (SES), both based in eastern North Carolina. The addition of UDG now extends the platform’s footprint across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Southern Virginia.
“UDG’s mission has always been to deliver the best equipment in the industry backed by exceptional service,” said Lyerly. “This partnership enables us to expand across the Carolinas and meet the growing needs of our customers—especially in the collision repair segment.”
