Palm Collision Fact Sheet
Palm Collision Center has operated as a Body Shop in Broward Florida continuously since October 1983. Palm Pontiac began operation in October of 1983 as a franchised new car dealership. The dealership was owned and operated by the Kelley Family and was first located on Federal Highway in Ft. Lauderdale. In 1988 the Pontiac Dealership was relocated to 827 South State Rd. 7 in the city of North Lauderdale where we are still operating today.
We changed the name from Palm Pontiac Body Shop to Palm Collision Center in July 2001 after a restructuring of our business. In 2003 Kevin Kelley invited Gonzalo Quirola, a former member of his Palm Pontiac service team, to become a managing partner in what had become a service and collision business. Two years later, as the collision portion of the business became more prevalent, Kevin invited Shane O’Connor, another former member of his Palm Pontiac service team, to join as a managing partner as well. Since then, with their philosophy of always doing the right thing the right way, the business has thrived in the way of continuously happy and repeat customer, a growing number of Insurance Company relationships which perpetuates business and an integrity driven staff that knows quality workmanship.
