Wayside Collision Center acquired by national chain

Gerber Collision & Glass, one of the nation’s largest auto and glass repair companies in the United States, has acquired Dayton-area based Wayside Collision Center.

The Chicago-based company takes over two Wayside Collision Center locations in Moraine and Huber Heights that have been family owned and operated by the Campbell family since 1967.

Huber Heights councilman Mark Campbell sold the company to Gerber. Details of the sale were not made available.

“It’s going to be a good move for all of our employees, and good for the industry and the Dayton market. We look forward to growing the Gerber brand in the Dayton market,” said Campbell, who will remain with the company.

A total of 25 employees work at the two stores and are expected to be kept.

Gerber Collision & Glass was founded in 1937 by Phil Gerber. It has locations in 19 states and Canada.
