Houston Body Shop Owner Makes History with New Location in Texas

This location makes Fix Auto USA history as the first Fix Auto USA location in the state of Texas.

Fix Auto Houston is owned by Kevin Taylor, a second-generational collision shop owner, who joins the Fix Auto USA family with eighteen years of experience as an owner-operator and a deep understanding of what it means to achieve success in this field. He has a rich background in the industry and a proven track record of success, previously overseeing a team of nearly thirty employees and driving results to become one of the largest franchisees in the United States.

Although he grew up supporting his family’s collision repair shop, becoming a true contender in the automotive industry wasn’t always Taylor’s plan. When he began his career, he took the white-collar route, having always imagined himself costumed with a suit and briefcase, ready to tackle the world of capital finance. To hone his business acumen, Taylor began lending time assisting his father with his collision repair facility.

What began as borrowed time ignited a passion in Taylor and in just two short years, he displayed exponential growth, doubling the sales of the 20-year-old established business. It became clear that Taylor was exactly where he needed to be.

For a progressive and leading shop owner like Taylor, growth is not only defined by number of sales and repairs completed. It’s also defined by personal and professional growth. It means pursuing relevant training, seeking best-in-class partners, and ultimately, being the collision repair expert that the community needs.

“A key component of longevity in this industry is the ability to stay up to date with its changes and technologies,” said Kevin Taylor, owner of Fix Auto Houston. “We aim to service customer’s vehicles today, tomorrow, and into the future.”

Taylor’s decorated career has seen him earn dozens of awards and check off milestone after milestone. One of which was the Maaco Cup, an award presented to the top franchisee in North America. Taylor’s industry tenure has also seen him hold various positions on multiple industry councils. To add to this winning collection, Fix Auto Houston is both I-CAR Gold certified and Automotive Service Excellence certified. Taylor himself holds an I-CAR Platinum certification, another testament to his high level of operational excellence.

“With his gift for the business, tireless innovation and expert leadership, Kevin Taylor is a true exemplifier of what it means to make an impact and buck the system,” said Damien Reyna, chief operating officer, U.S. collision.
