History

 

Family enterprise        

       In 1960, M. Roger Thibault was a collision repair technician, painter and was doing the appraisals for a General Motors dealership in Hawkesbury, Ontario ( Laniel Auto now known as Turpin Auto). In 1967, he decided to purchase his own garage, Garage Roger Thibault.

     

       M. Thibault was dedicated to his work and had a good knowledge of the collision repair and painting industry. He built good business relationships and a good reputation among customers and insurance companies. After graduating from high school, his son Rock Thibault followed Roger in his footsteps and was a certified autobody repair and paint technician in 1987. Rock worked for Garage R. Thibault from 1979 to 1999.

 

       In 1999, M. Rock Thibault became the new owner and formed a new corporation called  « R. Thibault Collision Inc. »
