CHICAGO, Jan. 23, 2018 /CNW/ - The Boyd Group Inc. (the "Boyd Group") today announced the January 19, 2018 opening of two collision repair locations in Collier County, Florida. These centers were previously operated as Autocraft Enterprises and Autocraft Naples and are located on Marco Island and in northern Naples. Marco Island, the largest of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands and Naples, one of the most prosperous cities in the United States, are two of the most popular tourist destinations in Southwest Florida.  

"These Gulf Coast locations simultaneously enhance synergies and broaden our footprint," said Tim O'Day, President and COO of the Boyd Group. "The northern Naples center is positioned between our existing Naples and Estero locations while the Marco Island location expands our presence 18 miles south towards Florida's Everglades."

"We are proud to now serve our customers and insurance providers from more than 60 centers in Florida and over 500 locations across North America," added Brock Bulbuck, CEO of the Boyd Group. "I would like to congratulate our corporate development, operations and all corporate support teams on this significant milestone achievement.
