Phoenix Body Shop Benefits From Grand Canyon University Expansion
Grand Canyon University is expanding! Currently at 240 acres, the campus has a goal of reaching 400 acres in the next 10 years.
To that end, the institution has been purchasing parcels of land all around its current boundaries. Vacant lots and apartment complexes, as well as commercial plots, have been purchased as GCU expands and converts the properties purchases to what it needs. One such property is a sex shop that is now being turned into a restaurant and hotel that will be run by the students in the hospitality management program.
This particular property is also expected to hold the GCU convention center that will also hold businesses, churches and their office complex expected to hold as many as 1,600 employees of the university. Currently, GCU has an office complex that was once a swap mart holding 700 employees that are directly across from Capitol Collision Repair, a body shop close to Grand Canyon University. In the last four years, the campus has grown from having 900 students on campus to more than 15,000 students. In the next 4 years, it is looking to grow that number to 25,000.
As an auto body shop close to GCU, Capitol Collision Repair has seen a boom in business as well as it serves the students and employees of the campus. The increased population has led to more than 300% business growth for the body shop this year alone in student car repairs. In the event of an accident, most students are not sure what to do or even where to begin. Most of them end up calling their parents to get their advice on the way forward.
One GCU student got into an accident and called her mother who lives in El Paso, Texas. The Mom simply googled ‘body shop close to Grand Canyon University’ and Capitol Collision Repair came up. With 91 Google reviews and a rating of 4.9 /5.0 stars, she gave the body shop a call on the after-hours number. The body shop quickly responded to the call and towed the car to the shop in the night. They went a step further and even spoke to the insurance company on behalf of the car owner, providing reassurance to the student’s mother in Texas while providing great customer service. Capitol Collision Repair handled the insurance contact and repaired the car much to the student’s joy and her mother’s peace of mind.
