Service King Acquires 50th Repair Center

Express Autobody becomes MSO's 50th location in Texas and sixth in the Austin marketplace.

Service King Collision Repair Centers has completed the purchase of Express Autobody, a collision repair center headquartered in Georgetown, Texas. The transaction is expected to close before Oct. 1, and David Schwartz will manage the new location.

Express Autobody becomes Service King’s 50th location in Texas, and its sixth collision center in the Austin marketplace. It is located off I-35 and Westinghouse Road at 300 County Road 111. Service King is also building a new collision repair center in Lakeway, Texas, on Highway 620 that will open in early 2013.

Express Autobody is an 18,000-square-foot facility capable of repairing more than 300 vehicles per month and currently employs 16 people. This facility will join Service King’s South Texas market that employs more than 321 people throughout Austin and San Antonio. This facility has Enterprise rental cars on-site and uses waterborne paint on all vehicles. Operating business hours are Monday to Friday 7 a.m.-6 p.m. and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturdays.

“Georgetown is a growing area, and we look forward to serving the needs of customers and insurance partners by providing the best service and collision repairs in town," said Jeremy Lennox, vice president of Service King’s South Texas market. "We’re eager to provide Service King’s renowned level of friendly and professional customer service. The quality of work by highly skilled and expertly trained body technicians and painters carries a lifetime guarantee. We are also bringing top-notch health, retirement and career benefits to all Georgetown teammates.”
