Autobody News | VSSTA Plots Collision Repair Growth Under New Owner

July 1, 2025 – Jackson Hole, WY

Look for ADAS-strong service provider VSSTA Inc. to add collision repair shops under its new owner, private investment firm Greybull Stewardship. Wyoming-based Greybull announced in June it bought Texas-based VSSTA on undisclosed terms.

VSSTA, which stands for Vehicles Scanning Solution Technology Automation, has signed 500 to 600 collision repair users of its SaaS in some 40 states in the five years since founder Bobby Beason began writing the software.

Phil Long Collision Center, a body shop connected with one of Colorado’s larger dealership groups, is one.

“This is a really smart guy,” said Duane Meszler of Beason. Meszler co-owns and runs the Phil Long collision operations in Colorado Springs. He’s deployed VSSTA software since its early days, roughly pre-COVID.

Both Beason and Meszler have the common bio in the business, spanning several decades for each. Owners or operators, tech school grad and starting out by sweeping up, they come from the trenches as technology use in collision repair grows.

Read the full article featured in Autobody News to see how VSSTA is leveraging specialized ADAS expertise and operational strategy to expand its collision repair footprint—and what’s next for growth.
