Caliber Collision Centers Prepares for Expansion, Moves Into Larger Irvine Headquarters

    IRVINE, Calif.--Sept. 18, 2000--Caliber Collision Centers, operator of 48 high-quality collision repair facilities in California and Texas, Monday announced that the Client Services and Center Support (CSCS) office and associates will begin operating today from a larger, more visible location in Irvine.
    The new Caliber Collision Centers office features more than 17,000 square feet which will accommodate 65 clients services, center support, business and corporate development and senior management associates, and provide Caliber with anticipated expansion capacity.
    The new office, visible from the Interstate 55 freeway, is a short distance from Caliber's current headquarters, also in Irvine. The new client services and center support facility will include a training center, call center and expanded data center.
    According to CEO Matthew Ohrnstein, Caliber Collision Center's continued rapid growth and focus on serving the insurance community created the need for the company to relocate to new, larger quarters. The new headquarters address is 17771 Cowan Ave., Suite 100, Irvine, Calif. 92614. The telephone, fax numbers and e-mail addresses will remain the same.
