Lefler Collision named 2013 ABRN Top Shop

Jan. 1, 2020
ABRN's December issue also features the nine runners-up for the 2013 ABRN Top Shop.  
The Advanstar Automotive Group, a leading provider of integrated media solutions to the automotive aftermarket and collision repair industry, has announced that Lefler Collision & Glass in Evansville, Ind. is the 2013 ABRN Top Shop. The company is led by owner Jimmy Lefler.  
According to Krista McNamara, ABRN managing editor, Lefler Collision & Glass is a past winner in the annual competition that honors the Top 10 collision repair facilities in the United States.
McNamara says the shop continues to stand out in 2013 because Lefler has instilled an immense value in the continued pursuit of knowledge through training and education in his shops.
“The company creatively markets itself to the community through educational seminars highlighting vehicle safety and maintenance, and events geared toward women and teen drivers and their parents,” explains McNamara. “They further engage the community through their social media presence on Facebook and Twitter, and have increased ease of contact and online accessibility with their mobile app.”
Lefler’s focus on customer relations continues, and the company has begun working with Summit Software to provide digital photo and information updates in real time to customers during the repair process.
McNamara says Lefler’s is expanding its glass repair market through an acquisition of the Glass Doctor franchises in Southern Indiana and Western Kentucky. They continue to further their mechanical business by partnering with NAPA to boost repair information access and parts warranties.
Lefler Collision & Glass will be featured on the cover of the December 2013 ABRN issue. The magazine will include articles on the nine additional shops that made the 2013 Top Shops list. They are: Auburn Collision Center at Magnussen’s Auburn Toyota, Auburn, Calif.; Car Crafters, Albuquerque; Central Collision Center, Mokena, Ill.; Collision Care Auto Body Centers, Philadelphia; D-Patrick Body and Glass, Evansville, Ind.; Fabricante Auto Body, Lake Forest, Calif.; G&C AutoBody, Santa Rosa, Calif.; Mayfield Collision Centers, South Euclid, Ohio; and Nagy’s Collision Specialists, Doylestown, Ohio. 
The 2013 ABRN Top Shop competition was sponsored by Car-O-Liner, CCC One, Kia Genuine Parts, MAACO, PPG, Sherwin Williams and Toyota Wholesale Parts.
