1Collision has announced On the Road Garage as the newest addition to its network, according to a press release.
The Texas-based company has two locations: one in Irving, Texas which was first opened in 2020, and another in Dallas which was opened two years after. The company currently employs 40 full-time staff members altogether.
On the Road Garage offers five apprenticeship programs registered with the Department of Labor, each covering topics including estimatics, collision repair technician, refinisher, office manager/administration and automotive technician specialist, respectively, which Vice President of Operations Roy Villarreal believes separates them from most other collision facilities.
The business hopes to expand to more locations in the future and decided to pursue 1Collision membership based on the support it offers to its members.
“We have created a culture of training and learning,” said Villarreal. “We do not hire anyone who is not willing to train someone or that's not interested in continuing education.”
