Auto Care Plus Expands Its Reach in Massachusetts
In a significant move for the automotive repair industry in New England, Auto Care Plus has announced its acquisition of Ronnie's Car Care located in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. This acquisition marks a strategic expansion for Auto Care Plus, a renowned brand under the Straightaway umbrella that is recognized as a leader in full-service automotive repair.
Strengthening Local Presence
The decision to acquire Ronnie's Car Care, previously owned by Ronnie McNulty, underscores Auto Care Plus's commitment to enhancing its footprint in the northern Massachusetts region. With this acquisition, Auto Care Plus aims to provide even greater access to trusted automotive care for local residents.
John Manelas, the brand president of Auto Care Plus, expressed enthusiasm for this development. He stated, "This acquisition is another exciting step forward for Auto Care Plus. We are thrilled to welcome the Ronnie's Car Care team into the Auto Care Plus family. With additional resources and support, we know this team will continue delivering the best-in-class service customers have trusted for years."
Ronnie McNulty, the former owner, also shared his positive outlook regarding the transition. "For decades, our customers have trusted us to keep them on the road, and I’m confident Auto Care Plus will carry that same legacy forward," he remarked. McNulty emphasized that not only will the staff remain intact, but the business will also receive investments for renovations aimed at enhancing customer experience.
Investing in Community
Karen Manelas, vice president of Auto Care Plus, elaborated on the acquisition's significance, noting, "This acquisition is about more than adding a new location; it's about investing in people and communities." By integrating the talented team from Ronnie's Car Care, Auto Care Plus is setting the stage for continued exceptional service and community engagement.
