ABRA Auto Body & Glass, a Minneapolis-based damaged vehicle repair company, announced today the opening of their thirteenth repair center in Colorado. This newly constructed facility, located at 10128 West Chatfield Avenue in Littleton, brings the total number of ABRA repair centers to ninety-two in twelve states.

"ABRA has been operating in Colorado since late 1997 when we started with two acquired repair centers," stated Rollie Benjamin, ABRA's Chief Executive Officer. "Throughout this time we have developed close relationships with our insurance partners and their insureds, which has led to ABRA now owning and operating thirteen centers in the Denver and Colorado Springs markets. ABRA is committed to expansion in Colorado, and this location will continue to provide our customers with the best possible collision repair experience."

This fully air conditioned prototype center consists of 18,000 square feet and utilizes state-of-the art collision repair equipment, including a Blackhawk KJ Full Frame Rack, a Shark Ultrasonic Frame Measuring System, and a USI Master Downdraft Paint Booth.

According to Eric Christopherson, Vice President ABRA-Colorado, "We chose this location because of the exploding population growth in the foothills and the southwest Littleton area. Our insurance partners and ABRA recognized the need to offer excellent collision repair service to these residents. The entire ABRA-Colorado team is extremely excited about the opening of ABRA's newest repair center, and look forward to providing the highest quality repairs and customer service."

When fully staffed, ABRA-Chatfield will employ a General Manager, two Customer Service Managers/Estimators, a Customer Service Rep, a Parts Manager, four Body Technicians with one Apprentice, two Painters with one Prepper, and two Quality Service Technicians.
