Service King Collision Repair Centers has acquired Body Works Collision Centers, expanding its footprint into Oklahoma. The acquisition, terms of which were not disclosed, officially closed Dec. 13.
Service King, currently with more than 100 locations in Texas, Tennessee, Arizona, Arkansas and Mississippi, acquired Body Works’ three collision repair centers in the greater Oklahoma City area. Body Works has served the Oklahoma City community for 16 years.
“We are pleased to welcome the Body Works team into the Service King family,” says Stephen Hayes, director of operations for Service King. “Body Works has a great reputation in Oklahoma City, and we plan to build on that legacy with our similar values and focus on providing excellent service and quality repairs.”
Body Works was founded in 1997 by Larry Pennington and acquired by the current owner, Chris Donnelly, in 2009. Donnelly has been in the collision repair industry for more than 24 years.
“We are excited about the opportunity to expand into Oklahoma City, the entry point of our planned growth into the central United States,” says Jeff McFadden, president of Service King. “It has been a pleasure working with Chris Donnelly and his team; their help in making this transition a success is much appreciated.”
