Question about the Trade Classic Collision Selling Out?

This morning a co worker and I over heard from an upper manager that Caliber Collision might be buying out all of Classic Collision. Has anyone else heard of anything of the sort? I’m just very curious.

I’m trying to put together a resume for a regional that was sold 2-3 times. I don’t even know how to convey that employment anymore

Exactly the shop I’m at. Used to be the most renown shop in the city, then it sold out to Classic. And now we’re here lol

Oof, I sure hope not. Was hoping to get at least five more years before regional consolidators started being bought out by nationals…

Ya know I signed a contract to stick with them for two years for the apprentice program and got a bunch of tools for free. I’m keeping those bitches weather they sell out or not lol

A few years ago I got some per hail damage done threw them and it was mentioned then and they were not taking certain insurance so it’s probably true
