UTICA —The Carbone Auto Group earlier this month formally broke ground on a new collision and fleet sales center to be constructed just north of the Don’s Ford/BMW/Subaru dealership location on Route 12 N in North Utica.
The 22,000-square-foot facility will house the fleet and commercial sales division of Carbone Auto Group and a new collision center, according to a Carbone news release.
The collision center has 25 bays, including two prep deck bays, two drive-in inspection bays, dustless prep areas as well as auto and large-truck paint booths able to accommodate tractor trailers, motor homes, and even buses, the auto dealership and service company said. The center will also offer glass repair and paint-less dent repair. Adjusters will be on-site to offer “quick estimates” and insurance adjustments.
