King Collision to Open Greenfield Facility in Boardman, Ohio

King Collision is opening a new greenfield facility in Boardman, Ohio, the result of a joint venture between Dave and Doug Sweeney, owners of Youngstown Buick Pontiac GMC and Doug Fenstermaker, owner of King Collision Center of Warren, Ohio. The King Collision facility represents close to a $3,000,000 investment into the Mahoning Valley which will eventually result in the creation of upwards to 65 new jobs.

The owners of King Collision decided more than one year ago not to ask for any tax abatements in return for the investment in the local marketplace. The King Collision facility was build entirely of American made steel and building materials and the job site was ‘closed’ thereby protecting local union building and construction trade jobs.

The King Collision facility, one of the largest collision repair facilities in Ohio, totals more than 43,000 square feet of collision repair production and office space and is equipped with the latest collision repair body, frame and paint technologies available anywhere in the United States. When fully operational, King Collision will be able to repair more than 25 vehicles a day, excluding dealership warranty repairs, thereby providing local insurers and consumers with very short delivery times while providing a superior vehicle repair product.

King Collision currently operates a large 31,000 square foot facility in Warren, Ohio that repairs 15 vehicles a day.
