Breania Dorsey put an extra $200 in her pocket yesterday morning.
Dorsey, a customer service representative with Classic Collision, a collision repair shop in Augusta, along with all the company’s employees nationwide, received two $100 bills to celebrate the opening of its 200th location, which is in Houston.
She has worked for Classic Collision since the summer of 2018 when the Augusta location opened. In Aug. 2021, the company gave every employee a $100 bill to celebrate its 100th location.
“I didn’t know they were going to do it again; I’m glad,” Dorsey said.
Breania Dorsey’s been with Classic Collision since it opened on Washington Road in Augusta more than four years ago. It’s her second cash bonus from company headquarters.
Unlike Dorsey, Chris Hearn, a mechanical technician, wasn’t surprised this time. Hearn isn’t sure how he’ll use the extra cash.
“It keeps me from taking money out of my bank account,” he said.
The company’s Regional Director, Tracy Bryant said when he started working for Classic Collision about five years ago, there were only 19 locations.
“To go from 19 to 200 has been unbelievable and fun,” said Bryant, who oversees eight locations, including Grovetown, Aiken, Florence, and Myrtle Beach.
He said the company has grown so quickly due to the number of car accidents that happen every day.
“There’s such a need for it across the country,” Bryant said. “We’re booked out for weeks.”
Founded in Atlanta in 1983, Classic Collision has locations throughout much of the U.S., such as Florida, North Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee.
While she was pleasantly surprised to receive $200, Dorsey also enjoys her work environment and co-workers.
“There’s always room to grow,” she said.
