ELK GROVE, Calif. — ALLDATA LLC has entered into a new agreement with Boyd Group Inc., through which the 97 collision repair facilities operated under Boyd Autobody & Glass and Gerber Collision & Glass in both the U.S. and Canada will use ALLDATA Collision S3500 as their sole provider of OE collision repair information.

ALLDATA Collision was developed at the request of the collision industry, according to the company, and satisfies the industry’s long-time need for accurate collision-specific repair information. Now with the latest generation, ALLDATA Collision S3500, collision repair facilities can search a database of more than 22,000 engine-specific vehicles. ALLDATA says its ALLDATA Collision S3500 is the most complete information system in the collision industry today, and goes beyond collision information by also providing detailed articles and diagrams for diagnostics and mechanical repairs.

"We are excited to have been selected by Boyd Autobody & Glass and Gerber Collision & Glass," said Wayne Mitchell, ALLDATA director of sales and operations. "ALLDATA Collision provides the information for collision repair facilities to perform quality and safe repairs, and it is clear that this is of the utmost importance to the Boyd Group."

Tim O’Day, president and COO of Gerber Collision & Glass, said ALLDATA Collision is the right fit for the business.

"We evaluated the options available in the market and selected ALLDATA Collision because of the depth of their product and ease of use," O’Day said. "ALLDATA’s OE collision and repair information supports the accomplishment of our mission to ‘Wow every customer…Be the Best.’"
