Kirmac Group Acquires Washington Collision Center

Kirmac Automotive Collision Systems Inc., based in British Columbia, announced the acquisition of the former TAS Precision Rebuild repair center in Renton, Wash. The facility is Kirmac’s 21st location.

“I am very pleased that we have been able to acquire the TAS Precision Rebuild location in Renton," says Kirmac CEO Ian McIntosh. “Its location relative to both Highway 167 and the East Valley connector makes it exceptional in terms of both visibility and access for our customers. It is particularly well-suited in terms of the store’s geographic proximity to our existing repair centers in the Puget Sound and also provides a highly desired point of service for many of our major insurance partners. Over the coming months we will be carrying out a major renovation and re-configuration of the existing facility, further strengthening our ongoing objective to better service customers by making our group of locations the most productive and cost effective repair facilities in the area."

Kirmac operates under both the Kirmac and Thoroughbred Collision brands in Washington State.

The 12,000-square-foot facility, located at 4000 E Valley Road in Renton, Wash., will increase the number of Kirmac repair centers to 11 in Washington State, joining the 10 Canadian locations Kirmac currently operates in the Metro Vancouver area of British Columbia.
