Crash Champions Donates Recycled Ride to U.S. Army Veteran

Crash Champions and Allstate recently donated a refurbished vehicle to a U.S. Army veteran who served two tours of duty overseas.


Crash Champions and Allstate recently donated a refurbished vehicle to a U.S. Army veteran who served two tours of duty overseas via the National Auto Body Council’s (NABC) Recycled Rides program. The event took place at Crash Champions Deer Park in Deer Park, Texas.

Terence King, who served in the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, was nominated for the giveaway by the PTSD Foundation of America, where he currently serves as a logistics coordinator.

“This is a truly wonderful act of generosity that will have a lasting impact on my life, and I am incredibly grateful to everyone involved in today’s giveaway,” said King said. “This vehicle is about more than just transportation. It’s a symbol of personal freedom and progress towards a fulfilling life. I’d like to thank Allstate, Crash Champions and everyone who volunteered their time to make today a reality.”

The vehicle, a fully restored 2018 Toyota Camry, will provide King with a reliable means of personal
transportation as he continues his transition to civilian life. The Camry was restored to like-new condition
by certified technicians from Crash Champions’ Deer Park repair center and donated for the giveaway by
Allstate.

“The Crash Champions team is honored to take part in this special giveaway for Mr. King,” said Matt Ebert,
founder and CEO of Crash Champions. “We all owe him a debt of gratitude for his selfless service as a
member of the revered 1st Cavalry Division, and their service to our country. It’s our hope that this small
token of that gratitude will continue to fuel his pursuit to give back to fellow veterans and heroes.”
