Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment and operational decisions at CollisionRight?
Rich Harrison serves as CEO and oversees the acquisition strategy alongside the operations team. Mark Elberg is CFO, handling finance and integration. Strategic investment decisions are made in partnership with the firm's institutional backer, Leonard Green & Partners, which acquired majority control from CenterOak Partners in July 2024.
Is CollisionRight structured as a family office or an institutional platform?
CollisionRight is an institutional buy-and-build platform backed by private equity. It originated in 2020 as a CenterOak Partners portfolio company and was recapitalized by Leonard Green & Partners in 2024. It is not connected to any family office or individual wealth origin.
What is CollisionRight's acquisition strategy?
CollisionRight acquires independent collision repair shops, typically single-location operators with established direct repair program relationships with major auto insurers. The firm then centralizes procurement, billing, and administrative functions while retaining the local shop name and staff. This strategy targets shops with steady, insurance-driven revenue in markets with dense car ownership.
Which geographies does CollisionRight operate in?
The firm's footprint covers Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and states across the broader Southeast and Midwest. It does not currently operate on the West Coast or in the Northeast Corridor beyond the Mid-Atlantic, per its disclosed acquisition history.
Does CollisionRight own the real estate underlying its repair shops?
CollisionRight typically acquires the operating business, including leasehold interests, rather than buying the physical real estate. This keeps capital deployment focused on operations and integration while leaving real estate ownership with the original seller or a third-party landlord.
