Built and sold 258-location chain in $1.3B exit to Boyd Group

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 merged with Service King in 2022, creating a 550-shop chain with about $2 billion in annual sales.
