Gerber Collision & Glass Opens Location in East Peoria, IL

Chicago, Illinois – October 1, 2019 – The Boyd Group Inc. (the “Boyd Group”) today announced the opening of a collision repair center in East Peoria, Illinois. The location previously operated as a collision repair facility and had been closed for more than a year.
