AutoCanada announced an acquisition last week that “enhances the efficiency” of its operations in Edmonton.

The retailer said it has purchased Doug’s Place Southgate, a collision repair business in Alberta’s capital.

AutoCanada acquired the Doug’s Place location in Strathcona in October.

“The addition of Doug’s Place Southgate is an excellent strategic fit that enhances the efficiency of our overall Edmonton platform by adding much-needed capacity in close proximity to our existing footprint,” AutoCanada CEO Samuel Cochrane said in a news release.

“The acquisition advances our strategic focus on the collision business and directs additional capital toward assets where we have a demonstrated advantage and clear opportunities to create value,” he said.

The roughly 7,540-square-foot facility has 10 OEM brand certifications, including Honda, Acura, Stellantis, Ford, Kia, Nissan, and Toyota.

Doug’s Place Southgate also has Direct Repair Programs with several insurance carriers.

The facility will continue operating with its local team.
