    IRVINE, Calif.--Feb. 10, 2000--Responding to insurers' needs for automobile repair services in Riverside County, Caliber Collision Centers announces the acquisition of Classic Spray & Collision in Murrieta, giving the Irvine-based operator of high-quality collision repair facilities its 31st location and 14th acquisition in the last 12 months.
    According to Caliber Collision Centers' Shawn Hezar, Vice President of California Operations, Murrieta represents the fifth location in Riverside County, expanding Caliber Collision Centers' ability to service the needs of insurance providers and drivers throughout the area.
    "This territory has and will continue to experience tremendous economic and population growth," Hezar said. "By adding a Caliber Collision Center with 14,000 square feet of production and service area, insurance providers, as well as vehicle owners, can rely on a company which has a proven record of providing high quality, efficient and service-oriented collision repair services."
    Previous owners of Classic Spray & Collision, Terry and Kathy Kobylski, said they would not have sold their business to anybody but Caliber Collision Centers.
    "Caliber Collision Centers is a first-class operation and we take great comfort in knowing we are selling to an organization that will continue to provide superior service to our loyal customers and also provide for our employees with greater benefits, training and expanded career growth opportunities," Terry said.
