EDMONTON -

AutoCanada announced Monday it has completed its purchase of British Columbia-based collision center PG Klassic Autobody.

The Prince George body shop facility is more than 20,000 square feet and is close to AutoCanada’s Northland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Northland Hyundai, and Northland Nissan stores.

AutoCanada is expanding its collision center footprint to align with its dealership footprint.

"This marks our second collision center acquisition since Q4 and is another step towards our goal of filling out our national collision center footprint," AutoCanada executive chairman Paul Antony said in a news release.

"We strongly believe in supporting our customers and OEM partners through the entire vehicle ownership lifecycle — including collision repair. Increasing vehicle complexity puts a further emphasis on fixing vehicles the right way — using parts and procedures prescribed by the OEM."
