SENNETT, N.Y. — Carubba Collision plans to open a new service center at 328 Grant Ave. in the town of Sennett, just outside the city of Auburn.
The Buffalo–based company signed a “long-term” lease for the 8,400-square-foot building, according to John Bouck, owner of Bouck Real Estate of Auburn, which helped arrange the transaction by representing the property owner.
Carubba Collision will operate an auto collision and repair shop in the building, representing its 11th location, according to Bouck.
The new service center is the company’s first in the Auburn area. Crews are working on the building’s interior to prepare it for an opening “within the next several weeks.”
The building on Grant Avenue will provide Carubba with “ample” space for its operations, Bouck said in a news release.
“The location is excellent, with plenty of visibility … It will make it very easy for consumers to find, and will be a welcome … addition to the community,” he added.
The building was previously home to the Martin Berry Volkswagen dealership, according to Bouck.
The Cayuga County property record for the address also includes a photo of the building with operations as a location of Atlanta, Georgia–based Aaron’s Inc. (NYSE: AAN), a rental business. The website for Aaron’s lists its current Auburn location at 100 North St.
The property record for 328 Grant Ave. lists Linda Realty Corp. of Skaneateles as the property owner.
The Auburn–area location will expand Carubba Collision’s presence in Central New York. It opened a service center at 7313 Northern Boulevard at the corner of East Taft Road in Cicero in April 2015.
The firm also operates eight locations in the Buffalo area.
