Current CEO overseeing Joe Hudson's integration and positioning company for continued 2026 M&A activity

Boyd Group just closed a $1.3 billion deal to buy Joe Hudson's Collision Center (258 shops across the Southeast) from private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners. The deal pushes Boyd to exactly 1,301 locations across North America, making it the industry's second-largest player behind Caliber Collision's 1,800 shops. It's the biggest collision repair acquisition since Crash Champions absorbed Service King for $2 billion in 2022.
