In the last five months, more than $9 billion in capital has been invested into the collision repair industry by private equity firms.

In the last five months, more than $9 billion in capital has been invested into the collision repair industry by private equity firms. The biggest chunk of this new capital was $4.6 billion in debt refinancing by Caliber Collision. Crash Champions also refinanced a significant piece of its debt and brought in an additional equity investment. Classic Collision, CollisionRight, VIVE Collision and Kaizen all found new sponsors. As the industry’s leading M&A advisor, we have thoughts and comments.
Focus Advisors expects the industry will see many new private equity firms entering the market in the next five years. Some will invest to build and flip. Others will buy and build for the longer term.
Independent MSOs with strong management teams will continue to find willing capital partners at attractive values. Targets with a stable and growing base of technicians will attract more attention and higher values.
Well-developed private equity-sponsored platforms will continue to find large acquirers, either through consolidators growing by merger or very large private equity firms seeking to buy out early private equity investors.
