Authentic Auto Body announced the acquisition of APC Auto Body in Dartmouth, MA, now Authentic’s second location.
APC Auto Body has a stellar reputation, loyal employee and customer base and unwavering commitment to quality, making it a natural choice for partnership. Known for its expertise in OEM-certified repairs and dedication to customer satisfaction, APC Auto Body’s values align perfectly with those of Authentic Auto Body.
“With the growing demand for high-quality collision repair services, this acquisition allows us to combine resources, expertise and technology to better serve our customers,” said Steve Proia, president of Authentic Auto Body. “APC Auto Body’s strong foundation and talented team make this partnership a seamless fit.”
“This acquisition represents more than a business decision -- it’s a commitment to continuing the legacy of excellence that both Authentic Auto Body and APC Auto Body have upheld, said Gabrielle Proia, co-owner of Authentic Auto Body. “Together, we are creating the first family-run MSO that prioritizes quality, integrity and customer care.”
The acquisition comes as the industry focuses on delivering faster turnaround times and superior repair outcomes. Customers can expect enhanced convenience and elevated service quality as a result of this collaboration.
Authentic Auto Body has assured a smooth transition for employees and customers of APC Auto Body. Leadership from both organizations have worked together to integrate operations while preserving the trust and stability both companies have long been known for.
Authentic Auto Body, in Holliston, MA, was bought by Envest Private Equity, based in Virginia, in August 2024, as a platform to grow an MSO. The acquisition of APC Auto Body marks the first step in that growth plan.
