CHICAGO, March 31, 2016 /CNW/ - The Boyd Group Inc. (the "Boyd Group") today announced that it has acquired a multi-store operation ("MSO")  in Indiana consisting of six collision repair centers located in the Indianapolis region. The centers previously operated as Collision Cure Body Werks, with the first location established in 2003 in Anderson, Indiana.

"Over the past few years we have added several locations in northwest Indiana, focusing on serving customers in the Chicago region," said Tim O'Day, President and COO of the Boyd Group's U.S. operations.
