Caliber Collision Centers has opened a 90,000-square-foot collision repair center in Santa Monica.
The center is one of the largest collision repair facilities on the West Coast, according to Dan Pettigrew, president and CEO of Caliber.
“The facility’s size and history set it apart; we are excited to be a part of the vibrant Santa Monica community and look forward to the center being a leader in customer service, repair quality and cycle time,” he said.
Craig Waring will oversee the new Santa Monica facility as the center manager. A former manager of a large-scale body shop in Van Nuys with more than 20 years of experience in the collision repair business, Waring will have overall responsibility for the center’s day-to-day operations.
Founded in 1991, with headquarters in Irvine, Caliber Collision Centers operates collision repair facilities in California and Texas. Caliber currently owns and operates 68 facilities and plans to continue acquiring, developing and integrating high-volume collision repair centers while providing collision repair solutions and automobile physical damage claims support.
