Illinois-based collision repair chain Crash Champions recently paid $2.25 million for the Gengras Collision Center property on Tolland Street in East Hartford.
Gengras Realty LLC sold the 14,000-square-foot service center on 2.1 acres at 630 Tolland St., to My Property Holdings LLC in a deed recorded by East Hartford on Jan. 17. The center was built in 1988, according to assessing records.
The buying LLC shares a Westmont, Illinois address with Crash Champions’ corporate headquarters.
Crash Champions purchased the real estate and the business. Terms of the business sale weren’t disclosed. This deal gives the repair chain a second Connecticut location. Crash Champions operates in 36 states and Washington, D.C., according to a Crash Champions release concerning the East Hartford purchase.
“This is another proud step in our growth across the Northeast and state of Connecticut,” said Matt Ebert, founder and CEO of Crash Champions. “Gengras Collision Center is a top-tier collision repair team with a reputation for high-quality service to the East Hartford community, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to Crash Champions.”
The Gengras Collision Center features more than 13,000 square feet of production space and is a Volvo-certified repair center, the company said.
The deed finalizing the sale was signed by E. Clayton Gengras Jr., manager of Gengras Realty LLC and president of Gengras Motor Cars.
