For nine years, Frank Todaro fixed problems, balanced books, and managed personnel while opening three new branches for the franchise. With thirteen years of business success under his belt, Frank was bit by the "entrepreneurial bug" and stepped to build his own business. Since 2011, Collision Masters has serviced thousands of cars a year, creating good blue-collar jobs and proving that the American Dream can still be achieved in Western New York.
