Pike Road, AL—Joe Hudson’s Collision Center, a leading multi-site collision repair provider, is pleased to announce the acquisition of three prominent collision repair businesses: RCI Collision in Warner Robins, GA; Butch’s Body Shop by RCI in Dublin, GA; and Bob’s Paint and Auto Body in Columbus, MS. This strategic move significantly enhances the company’s footprint in the Southeast and reinforces its commitment to delivering exceptional services and solutions to both new and existing customers.
Brant Wilson, CEO of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center, emphasized the strategic significance of these acquisitions: “Our goal is to broaden our market reach and strengthen our relationships with the communities we serve.

Furthermore, acquiring Bob’s Paint and Auto Body will allow us to better serve the Columbus, Mississippi market, enhance our regional capabilities, and build deeper connections with local customers. These acquisitions are a key component of our long-term growth strategy, aimed at increasing our market penetration and reinforcing our dedication to customer satisfaction.”
Cameron Dickson, Chief Operating Officer at Joe Hudson’s, remarked, “We are privileged to welcome these three exceptional collision repair companies into our organization. Over the years, these locations have built strong reputations for repair quality, customer service, and community engagement. With the integration of these locations, we are well-positioned to enhance our service delivery, streamline operations, and reinforce our regional presence. We look forward to the benefits this expansion will bring and the continued value it will provide to our customers and their communities.”
Wendy Patrick, Chief Administrative Officer, added, “As we welcome these new locations into our family, we’re excited about the opportunity to integrate our new team members into our existing network. By acquiring locations within and adjacent to our current markets, we can provide streamlined training and support, ensuring that everyone is aligned with our core values and operational standards.
