Quality Collision Group

What Quality Collision Group does

Quality Collision Group (QCG) is a privately held, PE-backed (Susquehanna Growth Equity) multi-shop operator (MSO) in the U.S. collision repair industry, founded in 2020 by Jerod Guerin and headquartered in McKinney, Texas. QCG acquires regional collision repair businesses that hold OEM certifications from multiple vehicle manufacturers, retains their local brands and leadership, and provides centralized back-office support including accounting, payroll, and marketing. Across its 104+ company-owned facilities in 13 states, QCG maintains certifications from 34 vehicle manufacturers (including Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Rivian, and Tesla) and offers ADAS recalibration, computerized paint matching using the PPG Envirobase High Performance paint system, and a full range of body, glass, and aluminum repair services, with emphasis on luxury and premium vehicle segments.

QCG's revenue model is fee-for-service collision repair billed through direct customer payments and insurance claim processing, with pricing conducted on a quote basis following vehicle damage assessment rather than published rates. The customer base is primarily individual vehicle owners requiring post-accident repair, supplemented by luxury vehicle owners and fleet operators; insurance carrier direct repair programs (DRPs) are the implicit indirect channel through which the majority of revenue is intermediated. Go-to-market is sales-led and acquisition-led: the company grows by purchasing shops with strong local reputations and multi-OEM certifications, retaining brand identity, and operating through its own facility footprint rather than franchise or reseller models. Marketing channels include the company website with shop locator, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and a dedicated "Sell Your Shop" outreach program targeting potential acquisition targets.

The company's strategic direction is governed by a roll-up playbook executed under PE ownership: at least seven disclosed acquisitions between April 2023 and November 2025 added regional MSOs and luxury specialists (Schaefer Autobody, Stuart's Paint & Body, Cascade Collision Repair, Hance's Uptown Collision Center, Trew Auto Body, LaMettry's, and First Class Auto). The January 2026 exclusive PPG supply partnership across 95+ centers formalizes procurement and operational standardization, and recent leadership hires (Chief Strategy Officer James D'Onofrio for M&A; Director of Advanced Vehicle Technologies Paul Bostel for ADAS/EV capability) indicate continued investment in organic capability and acquisition pipeline.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• ABRA Auto Body & Glass: Mid-sized US collision MSO with an OEM-certified, multi-state owned-shop model closely aligned with QCG's strategy. Targets the same OEM, insurance, and fleet customer base and competes for similar tuck-in acquisitions.
• Gerber Collision & Glass: Subsidiary of Boyd Group Services, one of North America's largest collision repair operators. Directly comparable in OEM-certified collision and glass repair footprint and DRP network positioning.
• Caliber Collision: Largest US multi-shop collision repair operator (1,800+ locations) backed by Hellman & Friedman and Blackstone. Caliber is the most direct large-scale MSO competitor to QCG, pursuing an identical OEM-certified, insurer-friendly, acquisition-led roll-up strategy.
• Crash Champions: National MSO of collision repair centers backed by Leonard Green. Operates an OEM-certified, acquisition-driven model across 20+ states that directly overlaps with QCG's footprint and value proposition.
• Service King Collision: Major US collision MSO historically PE-backed by Blackstone. Operates a comparable network of collision repair facilities with insurer DRP relationships; a direct competitor for both shop acquisitions and DRP placements.
• Fix Auto USA: Growing US collision MSO with a franchise/store model focused on OEM-certified repairs. A more emerging direct competitor still scaling its footprint; competes for repair volume and for independent shop sellers in similar states.

Broad incumbents

• CARSTAR: North American franchise collision MSO owned by Boyd Group. Competes for OEM and DRP-certified work via a franchise model that differs from QCG's wholly owned structure but targets the same customers and insurance carriers.
• Maaco: Largest US franchised paint and collision brand under Driven Brands. Operates a vastly larger but franchise-based collision network; competes for insurance DRP slots and brand-driven customer acquisition against QCG's owned-shop model.
