This Thanksgiving, we’re taking a moment to reflect on something we’re truly grateful for: the people who make the collision repair industry stronger, wiser, and more connected every single day.
In this special release, industry veterans share how the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) has shaped their journeys through mentorship, community, advocacy, and a culture of lifting each other up. From first-time attendees who found unexpected encouragement, to long-time members who’ve seen decades of impact, their stories remind us what this organization is really built on:
- People who care.
- People who challenge each other to grow.
- People who show up for their shops, for their peers, for their community and for their industry.
Whether you’re a repairer, vendor, educator, student, or simply someone who wants to be part of a community that believes in doing things the right way…we welcome you to be a part of the Society.
At SCRS, there is no prerequisite, and no barrier to belonging. If you have a desire to learn, to share, to elevate your work and the work of others, you already fit right in.
As we gather with our families and give thanks, we want to extend our gratitude to everyone who contributes to this community:
The mentors. The problem-solvers. The leaders. The learners. The people showing up in big ways and small ways, 24/7/365, to make this industry better.
From all of us at SCRS:
Happy Thanksgiving — and thank you for being part of our story.
We hope you’ll join us for what comes next.
