Crash Champions is now the largest founder-led and -operated collision repair company in the U.S.
Chicago—Crash Champions announced this week that it has grown its platform of collision repair centers to 200 locations. The acquisitions, located in Neptune City and Wall Township, N.J., mark a growth milestone for Crash Champions and highlight the company’s M&A strategy, which has grown crash by more than 2,400 percent since 2019. Crash Champions now employs more than 3,500 professionals across its network of over 200 locations in 20 states, making it the largest founder-led and operated collision repair company in the U.S.
“This is a tremendous time to be a part of the Crash Champions family,” said Matt Ebert, founder and CEO of Crash. “While we have undergone a tremendous expansion over the past three years — growing from a regional player to one of the nation’s fastest growing independent collision repair companies — we still operate by the same core principles that guided us on day one as a single shop. To hit 200 locations now is a significant milestone for our entire team, and I could not be prouder of the champions that we employ and the legacy they have helped our organization build.”
Crash Champions opened its first location in New Lennox, Ill., in 1999. After beginning a strategic expansion plan in 2014 to support areas of growth in Chicago and the surrounding region, Crash Champions partnered with private equity firm A&M Capital in 2019 to accelerate growth throughout the United States.
To celebrate, the Crash team has simultaneous luncheon celebrations planned for its locations and team members.
