On December 20, Budds’ Collision Services once again hosted its annual Pig Roast at 2071 South Service Road West in Oakville, Ontario.

This annual get together brings people from across the collision repair industry spectrum for a good cause—raising funds through the Sam Piercey Foundation. The foundation was created in memory of legendary collision shop operator Sam Piercey, who was the driving force of Budds’ Collision Services from its inception in 1983 until 2016, when he sadly passed away. The foundation’s objective is to raise money to support young people in the collision industry—helping them establish successful careers in this exciting and dynamic sector.

J.R. Martino, who trained under Sam Piercey and took the reins following his passing, continues to drive the business forward and today, Budds’ Collision continues to set the standard as one of the most progressive and cutting-edge collision repair facilities in North America.  

Autosphere is always privileged to be invited to the annual Budds’ Pig Roast which continues to grow in size and scope each year. It was wonderful to attend the 2024 gathering, meet old friends, make new ones and be part of an event that celebrates the past, cherishes the present and invests in the future of collision repair and the amazing people within this industry.
