INDIANAPOLIS – FinishMaster has announced the opening of new branches in Norfolk, Va., and Chattanooga, Tenn.

The branch additions will mark FinishMaster’s fifth location in Virginia and second in Tennessee and now extend FinishMaster’s national footprint to 164 locations.

In both locations FinishMaster joined forces with the local Uni-Select Auto Plus facility. FinishMaster was acquired by Uni-Select in 2011.

“The opportunity to expand FinishMaster operations through combining with an Auto Plus location provides us greater efficiency in how we serve our customers. Thereby, we are able to grow and provide both exceptional value and superior service,” said Daniel Courtney, president, FinishMaster.

Courtney added that FinishMaster will continue to pursue similar growth opportunities in new markets on its own or with the opportunity created by Auto Plus. “No matter the location, we strive to be a key factor in our customers’ success,” he said.

FinishMaster has five additional co-location facilities with Auto Plus located in Buffalo, N.Y.; Austin and San Antonio, Texas; St. Louis, Mo.; and Kansas City, Kan.
