Pike Road, AL – Joe Hudson’s Collision Center (JHCC), one of the nation’s leading providers of high-quality collision repair, is proud to announce the acquisition of Mike Smith’s Automotive Collision Center in Dothan, Alabama. This strategic move marks JHCC’s 43rd location in Alabama and the second in Dothan, reinforcing the company’s commitment to deepening its presence in key markets.
“This acquisition represents an important part of our growth strategy,” said Brant Wilson, CEO of Joe Hudson’s Collision Center. “We are focused on strengthening our presence in markets where customer demand is high, and where we already have the leadership and operational infrastructure in place to support successful growth. Dothan is one of those markets. Not only have we seen strong performance from our existing location here, but Mike Smith’s is a trusted name in the community. This is a strategic fit where we’ve already proven our ability to succeed — and we’ll continue to pursue opportunities in nearby markets that complement our existing footprint.”

We’re especially excited about their emphasis on technician development — this location is I-CAR Gold Class certified, which speaks volumes about their focus on training and quality. That alignment sets the stage for a smooth transition and continued success under the JHCC banner.”
In addition to the facility and its legacy of service, JHCC sees the team at Mike Smith’s as integral to the acquisition.
