Kirmac Collision and Autoglass

What Kirmac Collision and Autoglass does

Kirmac Collision and Autoglass is a family-owned Canadian collision and autoglass repair operator founded in 1973 by brothers Ian and Ken McIntosh in Coquitlam, British Columbia, and now led by the second generation of the McIntosh family (Sean McIntosh as President, Mark McIntosh as VP Operations following the 2021 ownership transition). The company operates 25+ company-owned repair centres across Metro Vancouver, the BC Interior (Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission, and others), and Edmonton, Alberta, serving individual vehicle owners, commercial fleet operators, and luxury/performance vehicle owners through three divisions: Kirmac (core collision and autoglass), Reborn Autobody (luxury vehicle specialist), and Fleet Street (commercial fleet services).

The service offering is built around three core product lines: collision repair (from minor scratches and dings at C$100-600 to structural and frame repairs at C$1,500-5,000+), autoglass repair and replacement (windshield chip repair typically under one hour, full windshield replacement in approximately four hours with ADAS camera recalibration), and an AI-powered damage estimator that uses computer vision on customer-submitted photos to deliver initial quotes in minutes. The technology stack includes modern repair-centre equipment, OEM-certified training across 18+ automakers (including Tesla, Rivian, BMW, Toyota, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Lexus, Genesis, VinFast, and others), ADAS calibration capability, an AI estimator tool, and a heyflow-powered digital glass claim intake flow.

Kirmac's business model is one-time transaction-based service revenue per repair job, paid either out-of-pocket or via insurance claim, with the company operating as an ICBC Repair Network Approved facility and authorized collision repair centre for all private insurers operating in BC and Alberta. Distribution is exclusively through company-owned physical locations plus online appointment booking (myrepair.kirmac.com), phone booking, and insurance-company referrals. Pricing is unit-based with publicly disclosed per-service ranges. The company offers a Limited Lifetime Guarantee on all repairs for as long as the customer owns the vehicle, and channels a portion of revenue (and 100% of autoglass chip repair proceeds) into the Kirmac Cares for Kids community program, which has raised over C$6M for BC children's charities since 2010.

Direct peers

• Craftsman Collision: Western Canadian (BC-founded) multi-shop collision repair chain with a comparable regional footprint, OEM certification strategy, and ICBC/private insurer network positioning. Most directly comparable peer given overlapping BC geography and shop model.
• CSN Collision Centres: National Canadian collision repair network of independently owned shops with shared branding, insurer partnerships, and OEM certification programs. Directly comparable franchise-style model targeting ICBC and private insurer DRP volume.
• Fix Auto: Global collision repair franchise network with strong Canadian presence, including BC. Comparable in DRP participation, OEM partnerships, and shop-level operational standards, with similar mid-market positioning.
• Service King Collision: Large US-based multi-shop collision operator; notably acquired Kirmac's 13 US locations in 2014. Comparable in scale, insurer-network strategy, and OEM certification focus; primarily a US competitor but tied to Kirmac through the prior divestiture.
• ProColor Collision: Global collision repair franchise network with Canadian franchisees. Comparable on shop-format, DRP positioning, and OEM relationships; competes for similar insurer-routed volume.

Broad incumbents

• Boyd Group Services (CARSTAR / Assured Automotive): Parent of CARSTAR and Assured Automotive, the largest collision repair network in North America. Compares on DRP relationships, OEM certifications, and multi-shop operating model; broader geographic scope makes Boyd the dominant incumbent against which Kirmac competes regionally.
• Caliber Collision: Largest US collision repair chain. Comparable on multi-shop operations, ADAS/EV investment, and DRP-driven volume strategy; broader incumbent without direct Canadian overlap.
• Maaco: National US franchise system focused on paint and collision repair. Comparable in franchise-driven multi-shop model and mid-market customer base; broader incumbent with paint-led rather than structural-repair emphasis.
• CARSTAR: North America's largest collision repair franchise network (Boyd Group subsidiary). Directly competes for DRP-routed collision volume across Canada with similar insurance- and OEM-driven positioning.
• Assured Automotive (Boyd Group): Boyd Group subsidiary operating company-owned collision repair shops in Canada. Comparable on company-owned (vs. franchised) shop model, OEM certifications, and ADAS-equipped facilities.
