Colors On Parade announced the opening of four new franchise locations.

No more living with scratches and dents on your beloved vehicle and no more hassle from the body shop, Colors on Parade will bring ecosmart mobile repairs to you at an affordable price. Dealerships can be assured they will receive the highest quality repairs on their lot with a quick cycle time and the highest environmental standards. 

Colors on Parade announced the opening of four new franchise locations: one in Albany, New York, and another in Poughkeepsie, and two in Palm Beach, Fla.

The new Albany franchise is located in the Schenectady area, which is led by Area Developer Luke Dygert. Mani Rico is the owner and operator as well as the paint technician. 

Prior to becoming a franchisee, Mani worked with Luke Dygert for three years before deciding to become a franchisee. He looks forward to focusing on dealerships and obtaining new accounts. He is eager to grow within the business, turning it into a successful career. Previously, Mani drove a tractor trailer for Nabisco. 

Mani and his wife Cindy participate in door-to-door ministry within their community, and in their spare time, also enjoy sports- especially football. 

“As we continue to grow the Colors on Parade brand with more locations across the country, it is a goal to make convenient, affordable mobile repair accessible for our customers,” said Jeff Cox, president of Colors on Parade. “A key component to doing so is our group of passionate franchisees who provide a high-level of expertise and professionalism to our customers.”

The Poughkeepsie, New York franchise is located in the Dutchess area, which is led by Area Developer Butch Truitt. Shane Dygert is the owner and operator as well as the paint technician.

His parents are residents of the Beacon area, and he has one brother, Luke.

“As we continue to grow the Colors on Parade brand with more locations across the country, it is a goal to make convenient, affordable mobile repair accessible for our customers,” said Jeff Cox, president of Colors on Parade. “A key component to doing so is our group of passionate franchisees who provide a high-level of expertise and professionalism to our customers.”

Ronal Ramirez has joined the Colors family from the South Florida area. He has been working with fellow franchisee Freddy Falcones.

Previous to coming on board with Colors, he worked in car detailing for ten years. In his free time, Ronal likes to spend time with his family and mountain bike. He hopes to help mentor others within his community to be goal-oriented and passionate.

Javier is highly invested in the growth of his business and is excited to learn more about obtaining new accounts, meeting new people and working with dealerships to broaden his business. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his friends, fishing, and going to the beach. 

“As we continue to grow the Colors on Parade brand with more locations across the country, it is a goal to make convenient, affordable mobile repair accessible for our customers,” said Jeff Cox, president of Colors on Parade. “A key component to doing so is our group of passionate franchisees who provide a high-level of expertise and professionalism to our customers.”
