CB Collision
CB Collision Owner Chad Gary is an Extraordinary Businessman
Every day we pass by the same buildings and use the same businesses—our favorite coffee shop on the corner, the best little live music venue in the city, the auto body shop off the interstate. It can be easy to forget that these places haven’t been there forever. We might not realize the fact just by looking at these places, but businesses like CB Collision have a great deal of history behind them. Chad Gary, the owner of CB Collision, had to gain a great deal of business savvy before he was able to create this auto body shop and all the value it brings to the community.
A born-and-bred Nashville native, Chad Gary attended McGavock High School. He always dreamed of owning his own auto body shop, but just like most of us, he started at the bottom. He worked his way up from pumping gas at Capital Chevrolet until he was the manager of the body shop and parts department there. Overall he was managing revenues of over $400,000 each month. While he loved that job, he wasn’t satisfied with it: he wanted a position with more responsibility. However, he didn’t have the capital to start his own body shop just yet, and he wanted more experience. CB Collision was still in the future for him. He decided to learn more about the business, so he joined the Beaman Auto Group as the body shop director, a position that took advantage of both his mechanical acumen and business shrewdness.
Eventually CB Collision was an idea whose time had come. After thoroughly researching the market and brushing up on his business management skills, Mr. Gary bought Carl Black Chevrolet. Finally CB Collision was born! By creating this business, Mr. Gary brought 18 new jobs to the Nashville community.
What is the secret to being an extraordinary businessman? This question has no one answer. Without a solid knowledge of an industry, an entrepreneur will often find himself making elementary mistakes. A solid grounding in accounting, economics, and finance help. Those qualities are basically a given. Intangibles are just as important, however. Without a passionate drive, the engine has no fuel. Without a refined intuition, a businessperson might sink hundreds of thousands of dollars in a foolish enterprise. CB Collision is his brainchild.
Mr. Gary has that special, ineffable quality that makes a businessman truly effective. If small businesses like CB Collision are the solution to our economic strife, then the world could use a few more people like him.
