Facility is Car Guys Collision Repair’s 13th location in Florida.

Car Guys Collision Repair, the Florida-based multiple collision repair shop operator, announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Gunder’s Auto Center. The Gunder family has been in the automotive and collision repair business in Lakeland since 1969. The business was marketed as Pro-Consumer.
