Joe Hudson’s Collision Center has announced its expansion into Ohio with the acquisition of Bedford Nissan Collision Center in Bedford. This strategic move marks Ohio as the 17th state where Joe Hudson’s Collision Center operates.

“We have long considered Ohio a key market for our growth, and we are thrilled to finally make our entry with the acquisition of a location in Bedford,” said Brant Wilson, CEO of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center. “This vibrant community, as a first-ring suburb of the dynamic Cleveland area, offers outstanding opportunities for expansion. We are excited to establish our presence here and use this highly regarded organization, known for its quality repairs and exceptional customer service, as the cornerstone for further growth in Ohio.”

Added Joe Hudson’s Collision Center COO Cameron Dickson, “Identifying growth opportunities that align with our standards for quality and outstanding customer service is crucial. Bedford Nissan Collision Center’s numerous OEM certifications and I-CAR Gold Class recognition make it an ideal partner. This acquisition allows us to quickly integrate our operations and continue delivering the top-notch service our customers have come to expect. With our robust infrastructure in place, we are well-equipped to support this expansion into Ohio. We are confident in our ability to build on this foundation and drive continued growth across the region.”

Wendy Patrick, chief administrative officer of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center, emphasized that the company’s dedication goes far beyond simply acquiring new locations.

This commitment is especially vital as we venture into new states, ensuring that our high standards of service and operational excellence are consistently upheld.”
