CAA sells Peterborough Car Care Centre to local entrepreneur

THORNHILL, ON, March 3, 2014 /CNW/ - CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO) is pleased to announce the successful sale of its Peterborough Car Care Centre to local businessman Darryl Breadner. The new 4 Aces Auto Centre Ltd. will open for business on March 3rd, 2014.

Darryl Breadner has over 25 years of experience in the automotive repair business in Peterborough and was the former owner of the facility before selling it to CAA in 2009. He remained with the operation to manage the Car Care Centre since then. "I'm excited for the opportunity to continue providing customers of this location the same quality service and expertise they have come to expect over the years," said Darryl Breadner. 

Earlier this month, CAA SCO announced the successful sale of twelve of the thirteen Car Care Centre locations to Driven Brands who now operates those locations under the Meineke brand. The sale of Peterborough completes the sale of all Car Care Centre locations.

"When we first entered into the automotive repair business, our intention was to provide our members with a full end-to-end service model of roadside assistance and automotive repair," said Cindy Hillaby, Vice-President, Membership and Automotive Services, CAA SCO. "While we still believe in the potential for combining roadside assistance with automotive repair, the sale of our Car Care Centres will allow us to focus our resources on our core member products and services."

CAA SCO will continue to offer its members an automotive repair solution through its network of Approved Auto Repair Service facilities.

We thank our Car Care customers for their support and patronage over the years.

For over a hundred years, CAA has been helping Canadians stay mobile, safe and protected.  CAA South Central Ontario is one of nine auto clubs across Canada providing roadside assistance, automotive care, travel products, insurance services and member savings for more than 1.9 million members.
