Matt Ebert, CEO Crash Champions, joins Collision Cast and dives deep into the history of Crash Champions along with offering his experience on how to manage employees during an acquisition.

Ebert has tried to be careful and considerate as his company has expanded from just one shop in Illinois to more than 70 across seven states. Some employees choose to work for mom and pop shops to avoid big corporations, so when a company like Crash Champions comes in, Ebert says one of his top priorities is making sure the existing employees feel comfortable.
