The new repair center located in Gastonia, North Carolina, is located approximately 20 miles west of Charlotte and in the second largest city in the Charlotte metropolitan area. The center is approximately 24,000 square feet and was previously operated under the name of Sonny Hancock Collision Center. With this addition, the Boyd Group owns and operates 23 repair centers in North Carolina. These centers now operate under the Gerber Collision & Glass trade name.
