Centennial Is Expanding Yet Again - Centennial Collision Centres Saint John Is Open Now

Centennial Auto Group is thrilled to announce the acquisition of the former Fix Auto Saint John East location, which will now operate as the very first Centennial Collision Centre.

The Saint John location will be Centennial’s 12th automotive collision facility and the first to wear Centennial Collision Centres branding. 

Like Centennial, the former Fix Auto Saint John East location has always been a family business. Scott Trites began doing automotive body work when he was just 16, opened his own facility in 2007, and moved three times before landing on Golden Grove Road. Scott and his partner Jocelyn met in grade 10, grew the business together, and expanded the size of the facility to more than five times its original space while eventually employing 16 people.

Moving forward, family will continue to play an important role – and not just Centennial’s family. Scott’s sister, Wendy, has been a vital component at Fix Auto Saint John East, and she will be the new manager of the company’s first Centennial Collision Centre. 

The collective Centennial team now includes over 350 people in Summerside, Charlottetown, Montague, Moncton, Riverview, Dieppe, Amherst, New Glasgow, Truro, Dartmouth, and Saint John.

In the automotive collision industry, Centennial now includes Carstar locations in Summerside, Charlottetown, Moncton, Riverview, Dieppe, Amherst, New Glasgow, Truro, Dartmouth, and Dartmouth Crossing, the TD Insurance Auto Centre in Dartmouth Crossing, and the new Centennial Collision Centres location in Saint John, New Brunswick.
