Manheim Orlando opened its new state-of-the-art body shop and reconditioning center April 9 following a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Manheim leadership team and city of Ocoee staff members.
Several Manheim representatives spoke before cutting the ribbon, including Butch Herdegen, general manager, and Catherine Woodall, assistant general manager; as well as Craig Shadrix, city of Ocoee assistant city manager.
The new center, located behind the main wholesale auto-auction facility on East Story Road, is 80,000 square feet and replaces the former 22,000-square-foot building.
Manheim invested $4.8 million to upgrade the center. It now provides everything needed to prepare vehicles for retail or wholesale sales, including comprehensive inspection, mechanical and body reconditioning, paint, detail, merchandising and imaging. It has two 140-foot-long paint booths that can accommodate up to seven vehicles at one time and can service 160 cars per day, more than triple its previous capacity.
The Manheim Orlando operation is part of Manheim, a Cox Automotive brand.
