2011-12 Chairman Michael Quinn


Michael Quinn is the co-founder and CEO of 911 Collision Centers headquartered in Tucson, AZ. Founded in 1998 and now with 7 locations in 3 markets, 911 Collision Centers has been the recipient of many prestigious industry awards including: the National Auto Body Council’s “Pride Award” for their ongoing commitment to community service, AAA’s “Top Shop” award for service and repair excellence and runner up in the Better Business Bureau’s International “Ethics in Business” awards.

Quinn has had a love of cars since he was a young child. He attended vo-tech school as a teenager and got involved in management in the early 1980’s. This was a time with dramatic change within the industry: with the advent of unibody vehicles, air bags, etc., ongoing training was vital for survival. He earned ASE certified Master Technician status, was a licensed appraiser and had many I-CAR credits and volunteer hours with the organization. He sat on the United States / E.P.A. regional steering committee for Clean Air Compliance, and was also vice-chair and board member of the Philadelphia Vo-Tech School Advisory Council for six years.

Quinn has been a member of the National Auto Body Council (NABC) board of directors for over six years. He served as chair of Hurricane Katrina Relief, chair of First Responder Emergency Extrication (FREE), and is currently the co-chair of the Recycled Rides program. Quinn has participated in several C.I.C. committees in the past including the Business Management, Trade Practices and Insurance Relations committees.

Charitable and community service work has been part of the company’s core values since its inception. Quinn and his partner Patrick O’Neill encourage their staff members to participate in the many service projects and various boards it serves on in Arizona and Nevada. The organization also formed its own foundation, the 911 Collision Centers Community Foundation to expand its ability to serve.

Prior to co-founding 911 Collision Centers, Quinn worked for The Business Development Group (BDG), a consulting firm that tailored company-specific operating processes for auto body repair facilities. Prior to that he managed Lumpkin Auto Body in Philadelphia where the company was recognized for community service with the first NABC Pride award.

Quinn resides in Oro Valley, AZ with his wife, Bonnie, and their two teenage children.
