About Us
Fueling Scaled Growth through Partnership
ACH has partnered with a leading private equity firm to propel the next chapter of strategic growth. By joining forces around our buy-and-build strategy, we plan to maximize shareholder value by aggressively expanding existing footprints while driving tighter cost control.
They become part of the journey to establish ACH as a nationally renowned collision repair provider upheld through service, retention, and deep industry expertise.
With seasoned leadership having already guided 200+ transactions first-hand, ACH offers unparalleled operational and M&A experience to scale responsibly. We leverage partnerships across insurance, distribution, and technician talent to support rapid expansion.
Most importantly, partners can take pride in enabling repair shops to preserve their heritage and nurture hometown relationships for years ahead under the ACH family name. Our ambition is fueled by community and purpose as much as growth and profitability.
By providing patient capital and strategic guidance around this shared vision, the private equity sponsor has a unique opportunity to transform an industry alongside the ACH leadership team. The time for national expansion is now.
Why Choose Us?
Capital & Resources
We provide the funding and tools needed to open additional repair facilities in your market under your trusted brand name. This enables expansion that you may not be able to achieve independently.
Scaled Growth
By joining ACN's network, you gain the benefits of a larger company in areas like marketing, purchasing, and systems, while still retaining local ownership and your brand identity. This allows you to grow your business presence in the region.
Retain & Reward
Our model keeps proven ownership and staff in place long-term and rewards them with a stake in the companys overall success. We are all technicians and share in the ownership and growth.
Community Connection
We keep businesses locally-owned and prevent contested buyouts. Your company’s local commitment and connections are maintained while gaining more capabilities.
The Local Difference
ACH believes the small-town culture of the collision repair facilities it acquires is key to providing exceptional customer service. By preserving each facility’s local brand and identity, customers benefit from the familiar and personal experience they are accustomed to. Technicians have a greater connection to their work and the local community they serve.
At the same time, ACH facilities gain the advantages of being part of a larger company with economies of scale and shared corporate resources for training, technology, insurance partnerships among others. It’s the best of both worlds – keeping the hometown charm while unlocking growth opportunities.
Specific benefits of ACH's local approach include:
- Retaining familiarity with the local customer base and forging personal customer relationships
- Understanding that each collision repair is unique rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach
- Empathizing deeply with customers' collision repair concerns
- Encouraging stronger technician connection and engagement with each repair facility
- Promoting a greater sense of community belonging among employees
By blending personalized service with expanded capabilities, ACH facilities can continue servicing the communities they service for years to come.
