Toronto, Ontario -- AutoCanada Inc. has announced the acquisition of Doug’s Place Strathcona, a single-shop collision and refinish facility located in Edmonton.
The purchase expands AutoCanada’s collision repair presence in the region, increasing capacity and strengthening partnerships with OEMs and insurers. With four AutoCanada dealerships nearby, the company says the addition positions it to capture more repair volume and enhance service coverage across the Edmonton area.
“We’re excited to be joining forces with ACX! For over 50 years, our business has been built on earning the trust and loyalty of our community through high standards and quality care," said Jack De Sena, director of fixed operations at Doug's Place. "As the collision repair industry continues to evolve, this partnership allows us to offer an even more complete experience — giving our customers greater safety, protection, and peace of mind.”
The newly acquired facility holds certifications from a range of OEMs, including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Mini, Nissan GTR, Tesla, Volkswagen, Volvo, Lexus and Genesis. It also participates in Direct Repair Programs with Intact, TD and AMA.
Following the acquisition, the shop will be rebranded as ACX Doug’s Place.
