Collision 1
Franchise Overview
This franchise model is built around bringing independent auto body shop owners together under a unified, well-respected brand in the collision repair industry. Rather than replacing existing businesses, the concept allows established shop owners to preserve what they have built while gaining the strength of a collective brand identity and industry partnerships. A key differentiator is the partnership with BASF, a leading supplier of auto body paints, enabling franchisees to offer expert color matching across a wide range of vehicles.
The franchise also invests in workforce development through an on-the-job training program that equips employees with the skills and knowledge needed to perform specific roles effectively. Operating as a legal franchise in Washington State, the system targets experienced auto body operators seeking solidarity, brand recognition, and business support rather than brand-new entrants to the market. Customers benefit from consistent quality standards and a nationally backed repair experience.
