USA COLLISION CENTERS OPENS 5TH LOCATION IN CINCINNATI

Cincinnati, Ohio – The Sanfillipo Collision Group, owners of USA Collision Centers which is a Cincinnati based MSO (Multi shop owner group) recently opened their fifth location in the Greater Cincinnati area. The newest USA Collision Centers location is in Fairfield Ohio, 5449 Dixie Highway, Fairfield, Ohio 45014 (a north western suburb of Cincinnati).

The four other locations of USA Collision Centers are in the Greater Cincinnati communities of Price Hill, Harrison, Sycamore Twp and West Chester.

Chief Operating Officer and company spokesman Joe Sanfillipo III says “we are excited about the new location in Fairfield. We have wanted to be in this market for many years but have never had the right opportunity until recently. ” The location that USA Collision Centers moved into was formerly a Saab dealership. The dealer principal had three locations between the Cincinnati and Dayton Ohio markets. Last summer the dealer decided to consolidate from three locations down to two.

Sanfillipo goes on to say “thankfully due to the size of our new facility we are finally able to consolidate our corporate offices. Prior to opening this location our corporate offices were scattered among multiple locations.” “We are proud to have our corporate headquarters in Fairfield, Said Sanfillipo. The City of Fairfield has been exceptional in working with us from converting the former dealership with no body shop into a modern collision repair center”

The new Fairfield location which opened earlier this month is off to a quick start said Sanfillipo which he points out is great, especially in this economy. Sanfillipo say’s people automatically think the collision repair industry is recession proof but he points out that is far from the truth. People are constantly increasing deductibles to help save money in their budgets. However when they do that they certainly never budget for paying that high deductable when an accident does occur. This often times leads to customers not fixing “Drivable” vehicles or in some cases just doing partial repairs to make the non-drivable vehicles drivable.

The Sanfillipo Collision Group is a Cincinnati family-owned and operated business offering over forty years of Expertise in the automotive repair industry. Their first location opened in Price Hill in 1975. They have received numerous customer service awards and average a 97% customer satisfaction rating. Chief Operating Officer, Joe Sanfillipo III also represents the automotive service industry as the President and Chairman of the Automotive Service Association of Ohio (ASA), which represents over 300 independent collision and mechanical shop owners throughout Ohio.
