Jeromes Collision

What Jeromes Collision does

Jerome's Collision Center is a family-owned, full-service auto body and collision repair facility operating from a 34,000 sq ft state-of-the-art shop at 2705 N. Broadway in Minot, North Dakota — self-described as the largest collision center in the state. Founded in 1975 by Jerome Lundeen and now led by second-generation owner/GM Jay Lundeen, the business employs 38 people across three generations of family expertise spanning more than 60 years. Core service lines include vehicle collision repair (with a lifetime warranty on completed work), vehicle detailing (three published tiers — Express, Classic, and Deluxe — plus à la carte add-ons), semi-tractor body work and paint (marketed as Jerome's Truck Center with warranty-backed commercial fleet offerings), and boat/fiberglass/RV repair supported by a specialized rotisserie-style lift.

The company's revenue model is entirely transactional and service-based: pay-as-you-go unit pricing for detailing (e.g., Express cars at $99.95 to Deluxe semi sleepers at $899.95), quote-based collision repair work billed to customers or their insurance providers, and similarly quoted commercial and watercraft jobs. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-local-SMB via the physical location, supplemented by phone-based scheduling, after-hours drop-offs, free virtual estimates through the third-party CarWise platform, and direct insurance company coordination on the customer's behalf. Customer segments are horizontal: individual vehicle owners, fleet/trucking operators, and watercraft/RV owners across Minot and the surrounding North Dakota region.

Operationally, Jerome's competes on physical scale (largest facility in the state), specialized equipment (rotisserie lift for watercraft, industrial-grade vacuum and steam systems), brand longevity (three-generation family ownership), and warranty-backed quality (lifetime warranty on collision work, durable paint warranties on commercial jobs). There is no disclosed technology platform, no external funding, and no AI or software product layer; the company is a traditional regional services business with incremental digital intake via CarWise and a Facebook presence.

Broad incumbents

• Classic Collision: Multi-shop collision repair operator expanding across the U.S. Southeast and beyond. Direct overlap in collision and paint services makes it a relevant benchmark for what a scaled Jerome's could look like.
• Fix Auto USA: Franchised collision repair network in the U.S. Comparable auto body and collision services with a focus on insurance DRP relationships, providing a template for scaling an independent shop like Jerome's.
• ABRA Auto Body & Glass: Regional multi-shop collision and glass operator. Closely comparable in core collision/bodywork services and represents the type of regional consolidator that often acquires successful independent shops like Jerome's.
• Service King Collision: National collision repair chain providing auto body, paint, and repair services. Comparable in core offering to Jerome's collision repair business but with multi-state footprint and insurance DRP relationships Jerome's lacks.
• Maaco: Franchised auto body and paint chain with 500+ U.S. locations. Comparable in offering (paint, collision, bodywork) but operates via franchise model rather than Jerome's family-owned single-site approach.
• Crash Champions: Fast-growing U.S. collision repair MSO with hundreds of locations. Offers overlapping auto body and collision services and competes for the same insurance and consumer customers as Jerome's, but at materially greater scale.
• Caliber Collision: Largest U.S. multi-shop collision repair operator with 1,800+ centers nationwide. Directly comparable services (collision, paint, repair) but at national scale vs Jerome's single-location, regional operation.
• Gerber Collision & Glass: Large North American collision and glass repair operator with 800+ locations. Directly comparable services (collision repair, paint) and is among the most relevant broad incumbents Jerome's competes with or could be rolled into.
• Boyd Group Services (Boyd Autobody & Glass): Parent of Boyd Autobody & Glass, a major North American collision and glass repair MSO. Most directly comparable as a roll-up platform and operating peer for independent collision shops.
• CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts: Franchised collision repair network across North America. Provides the same core auto body and collision services as Jerome's and is a typical option for owners of multi-shop or regional consolidators.
