Puget Collision Group Acquires Six Fix Auto USA Locations

Puget Collision Group acquired six Fix Auto USA locations from longtime franchisee Richard Fish, expanding the collision repair group to 72 stores.

The six Southern California shops are Fix Auto Oceanside, Fix Auto San Clemente, Fix Auto Tustin, Fix Auto Long Beach, Fix Auto Signal Hill, and Fix Auto Carlsbad Village.

"We're honored to welcome these six locations into the Puget Collision Group," said Joe Morella, founder and CEO of Puget Collision Group. "Richard and his teams have built an exceptional operation, and we look forward to continuing that standard of excellence while investing in future growth across the network."

Fish has been part of the Fix Auto USA network since its inception in 2011. He joined the brand with two locations and grew to six. He was named Franchisee of the Year in 2022 and earned the brand's Top Shop Award for outstanding performance in 2025. Fix Auto USA also recognized him for mentorship of other franchisees, collaboration across the system, and contributions to the broader Fix Auto USA community.

"Richard Fish has been an outstanding partner to Fix Auto USA for many years, and this transaction represents the ideal lifecycle of an owner within our network—growing from two to six locations while being a forward-thinking leader in our ever-changing industry and ultimately achieving a successful exit," said Dennis O'Mahoney, brand leader and senior vice president of operations at Fix Auto USA. "We congratulate Rich on his accomplishments and wish him continued success in his next chapter."

Puget Collision Group will integrate the six facilities into its existing operations as part of its continued growth strategy. The company said the deal strengthens its footprint while reinforcing its focus on operational excellence, customer service, and long-term growth in collision repair.

"We are beyond happy for both parties as they move into their next chapters," said Sabrina Thring, president of Driven Brands Collision Group. "We thank Richard for his years of leadership and contribution to the system, and we are excited for Puget Collision Group as they continue their strong growth and expand their footprint within the industry."
