DALLAS & MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quality Collision Group (QCG), the nation’s most extensive collection of OE-focused collision repair companies, is proud to announce the acquisition of LaMettry’s Collision, a family-owned business known for exceptional service and unwavering commitment to OEM repair standards. LaMettry’s brings fast-growing QCG to 85 facilities throughout the U.S.
LaMettry’s Collision was started by Richard LaMettry in 1976 in his garage. In 1987, he left the industry, and wife Joanne took over. After graduating from college, son Justin joined in 2002, and then son Randall followed in 2006. LaMettry's has become a trusted name in collision repair, focusing on manufacturer-recommended procedures by certified technicians. They now operate 14 locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, maintaining a strong reputation and community presence.
Quality Collision Group, which recently celebrated its four-year anniversary, focuses its growth strategy on multi-shop owners (MSOs), such as LaMettry’s, who align with QCG’s “no compromise” philosophy. LaMettry’s brings 22 OEM Certifications to consumers, including luxury brands like Alfa Romeo, Audi, Corvette, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Rivian, and Volkswagen. In addition to this prestigious lineup, LaMettry’s is one of the few Tesla-authorized shops in Minnesota.
“I believe the acquisition of LaMettry’s to be a pivotal moment in Quality Collision Group’s mission,” says Jerod Guerin, CEO and Founder of QCG. “LaMettry’s OE-focused business model fits perfectly within what I envisioned for QCG. We're thrilled to see how the addition of LaMettry’s will further influence the growth of our company.”
Guerin adds: “It is extremely rare in the collision repair industry to find a large MSO that prioritizes OE repair procedures and parts. I saw early on that LaMettry’s was a diamond in this space, and was eager to add them to the QCG team.”
“We’ve built our reputation on a foundation of trust, quality, and customer satisfaction,” said Joanne LaMettry on behalf of the LaMettry family. “Quality Collision Group allows our staff to continue our legacy while expanding our capabilities and resources, ensuring our customers continue to receive the best collision repair services.”
LaMettry’s will join the Quality Collision Group portfolio alongside the five currently QCG-owned Master Collision locations, bringing the facility count to 19 in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul market.
