For Dan Tronrud, a bigger footprint means a bigger business and bigger expectations from insurance companies. So when Osceola Auto Body doubled their space in 2022, with an 11,820-square-foot expansion, Tronrud knew GFS equipment could help his shop deliver 1,100-plus repair orders and more than $4 million in sales this year.
Dedicated to helping expand the automotive refinish workforce, GFS is proud to collaborate with Lincoln Tech to train the next wave of collision repair technicians. Through a new partnership, GFS is working with Lincoln Tech to help produce qualified, entry-level collision repair technicians and connect them with an array of career opportunities. Lincoln Tech students across the country are learning the ins and outs of collision repair in GFS paint booths, preparing for an auto body career via hands-on programs taught by ASE-certified instructors.
Striving to meet the unique needs of every customer across the globe with pre-engineered and custom solutions for the preparation, application, curing and storage of paint and coatings, GFS is excited to announce a new partnership program with 1Collision Network and CSN Collision Centres.
GFS is excited to announce that GSB Industries has joined our automotive and truck refinish distribution team, bolstering GFS’ ability to provide extraordinary service to body shops and collision repair centers in Georgia and Tennessee.
Proper cleaning and maintenance methods in your paint booth help promote higher-quality paint jobs, reduce rework and contribute to longer-lasting parts and components. They are also critical for the protection of your employees and facility. With spring cleaning now top of mind, here are the top five things you can do to protect your paint booth and keep your finishing equipment running efficiently.
For more than a century, Michael Cuene’s family has bought, sold and repaired cars. In the latest expansion of his flagship dealership, all signs pointed to GFS being the best fit for Broadway Automotive Collision Center. And in 2022, a massive rebuild — featuring four paint booths, a dual-bay prep station and two paint mix rooms from GFS, as well as 42 service bays and a drive-thru estimating station — has Cuene feeling good about the future of his business.
