Oct. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- The Advanstar Automotive Group, a leading provider of integrated media solutions to the automotive aftermarket and collision repair industry, has announced that O'Rielly Collision Center in Tucson, Ariz., is the 2011 Automotive Body Repair News (ABRN) Top Shop Contest winner. The shop has been in business for 81 years and is located at the O'Rielly Chevrolet dealership.

According to Bruce Adams, managing editor, ABRN, O'Rielly Collision Center was named a Top 10 ABRN shop in 2009 and 2010 and adopted the motto "Let's Do the Basics Brilliantly."

"That meant being the best body shop by having the best insurance numbers and results, the best CSI, and the best-trained employees in order to put out the best finished product," explained Adams. "This year's accomplishments by O'Rielly included being named a first tier shop by seven of its DRPs, top CSI scores and a heavy investment in I-CAR, OEM and other technician training."

The shop will be featured on the cover of the December 2011 issue of ABRN, with the nine other shops comprising the top 10 also featured in the issue. Winners also will receive plaques to display and use in their marketing efforts, touting them as a Top Shop.

The other Top 10 shops for 2011 are: Auto Body World in Tolleson, Ariz.; Car Crafters in Albuquerque N.M.; Fort Washington Auto Body in Oxen Hill, Md.; G&C Auto Body in Santa Rosa, Calif.; Invision Auto Body in Mesa, Ariz.; Lefler Collision & Glass in Evansville, Ind.; Nagy’s Collision Specialists in Doylestown, Ohio; Network Auto Body in Hollywood, Calif.; and Nigro’s Auto Body in Philadelphia.
