Service King Collision Repair President Appoints New Vice President

Chris Abraham, president of Service King Collision Repair Centers, the nation's largest employee-owned operator of collision repair centers, announced the appointment of Justin Regan as the company's new vice president of the Houston market.

Chris Abraham, president of Service King Collision Repair Centers, the nation’s largest employee-owned operator of collision repair centers, announced the appointment of Justin Regan as the company’s new vice president of the Houston market.

In November of 2008, Abraham began assembling a team to develop the Houston market with the goal of having a multi-location collision repair operation to complement the company’s Dallas-Ft. Worth market. Last month, Abraham, the former vice president of Houston, was promoted to president of Service King.

Abraham said, "Justin Regan is a respected and talented teammate who will serve the Houston market proud."  

Abraham added that Regan will continue building on their recent expansion in Houston with a new location scheduled to open in Clearlake, Texas, within the next three months.

Regan will continue his goals of implementing the Service King culture into a relatively new market and working closely with Service King leadership to maintain consistency within the organization between markets, the company says.

Regan joined the Service King team in 1996. He began his Service King career as a service advisor and within a few years moved into management. Regan has managed two Service King locations, including the opening of the Grand Prairie facility in 2000. While under Regan’s leadership, his Grand Prairie team won five straight Top Shops as well as the annual "Morgan Award" for the top performing location within the Service King organization.

Regan spent 8 years as the location manager in Grand Prairie, Texas, before joining the Service King Support Center Operations team as a Regional Manager in 2008, overseeing six locations in the Dallas Fort Worth area.

In August of 2009, Regan joined Chris Abraham in Service King’s successful venture outside the DFW market by moving to Houston, Texas. As regional manager in the Houston market, Regan accepted built an operations team to develop and support the Houston market through the acquisition of two collision repair operations, which included four locations, as well as opening an additional seven facilities in a two-year timeframe.

A Dallas native, Regan is a graduate of The University of Texas at Arlington and received a bachelor’s degree in communications/public relations.

Service King operates 11 Houston locations, 23 Dallas-Fort Worth locations, eight San Antonio locations and five Austin locations.
