Crash Champions announced the opening of its seventh New Mexico location, a new, 10,000-square-foot facility located at 200 King Road SE in Albuquerque, NM, that opened its doors to customers and business partners on Jan. 13.
The New Mexico store is Crash Champions’ second new construction facility to open in 2025; its Land O’ Lakes, FL, repair center opened Jan. 6.
“We’re proud of the strong start to the new year, marked by the opening of two state-of-the-art repair centers in strategic growth markets,” said Crash Champions founder and CEO Matt Ebert. “These new locations represent Crash Champions’ vision to complement a proven acquisition strategy with a strong investment in designing and building modern repair centers to serve customers and business partners across the U.S.”
Crash Champions’ newest Albuquerque repair center boasts I-CAR Gold Class certification as well as a suite of advanced tooling and equipment. The company, operating a total lineup of more than 650 locations in 38 states and Washington D.C., is a preferred repair center with many of the nation’s leading automotive insurance providers and backs all work with a written lifetime warranty.
After merging with Service King in mid-2022, Crash Champions slowed dramatically in 2023, adding just 27 locations, as it focused on integrating 336 Service King repair centers. Four out of the 27 locations added by Crash in 2023 were greenfield developments, signaling the company’s willingness to build new repair centers from the ground up in attractive markets where acquisition targets may be limited. Crash ended the year with 617 shops.
As of the end of 2024, Crash Champions has more than 650 repair centers across 38 states, including Crash Champions LUXE | EV Certified repair centers.
