Boyd Group Services
The Firm
Boyd Group Services Inc. describes itself as one of the largest operators of non-franchised collision repair centres in North America, measured by both number of locations and sales. It runs its Canadian shops as Boyd Autobody & Glass and Assured Automotive, and its United States shops as Gerber Collision & Glass. It is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange as BYD and on the New York Stock Exchange as BGSI.
Beyond collision repair it is a major retail auto glass operator in the US, trading as Gerber Collision & Glass, Glass America, Auto Glass Service, Auto Glass Authority and Autoglassonly.com, and it runs a third-party administrator, Gerber National Claims Services, offering glass, emergency roadside and first-notice-of-loss services.
The scale matters to a searcher for two reasons rather than one. A public consolidator bidding on the same shops sets what a seller believes the business is worth, and it is also the buyer most likely to be on the other side of the table when that searcher sells. Its deals are announced rather than inferred, which is why it is the first firm recorded in this trade.
What It Buys
Winnipeg, Manitoba. Collision repair centres bought across North America by the largest non-franchised operator of them, trading in the US as Gerber Collision & Glass: a body-shop searcher's rival bidder and likeliest exit.
