Money Moves

Retired as CEO in 2025; Brian Kaner succeeded him and closed the Joe Hudson's deal in January 2026.

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.
