🏆 K-ceps Auto body & Service named Spartan of the Year Award in 2024 🏆
K-CEPS was founded in 1993 by Raymond Speck, starting as a single-man autobody shop.
Driven by a commitment to quality and a meticulous approach to repairs, Raymond Speck laid the groundwork for what would become a highly respected and multi-location collision repair business. His vision for delivering precise, high-standard repairs set the tone for K-ceps's growth and its enduring dedication to customer satisfaction.
Raymond's commitment to precision and superior repair quality quickly became the cornerstone of the auto body business. As K-ceps grew, Marilyn Speck (Raymond’s wife) joined him as co-owner; playing an integral role in shaping the company's expansion and cultivating its strong focus on customer satisfaction.
K-Ceps Auto Body began in 1993 when Ray Speck opened a small, one-man collision shop in downtown Johnstown. He built the business on a simple promise: treat people like family and fix every car as if it were his own. Decades later, K-ceps has expanded, but the core mission hasn't changed. Now proudly run by the next generation, we combine his timeless values with advanced modern technology to serve our local community.
To better serve our growing community, we acquired an existing mechanical shop right here in Johnstown and opened the K-Ceps Service Center. But we didn't just grow in size; we grew in skill. K-ceps proudly earned their first official OEM factory certifications and became an I-CAR Gold Class Certified facility, proving our commitment to repairing modern vehicles with total precision and safety.
K-ceps achieved rare, highly specialized factory certifications, making us the only Jaguar / Land Rover certified facility in Central Ohio and one of just two Tesla certified shops in the Columbus region. Deep roots were planted by buying the Granville property, proudly building a state-of-the-art facility where both auto body and mechanical service centers could thrive side-by-side.
K-ceps took specialized skills to a new market by opening K-Ceps Auto Body Cincinnati and achieving a premium Rivian certification. To streamline the repair workflow, K-ceps brought the Johnstown collision operations into the larger Granville location. At the same time, K-ceps relocated their Johnstown Service Center into an expansive, top-tier facility built for modern vehicle maintenance.
K-ceps grows again in Cincinnati. After completely outgrowing our original Queen City space, we officially relocated K-Ceps Auto Body Cincinnati into a massive, state-of-the-art facility in Blue Ash, Ohio. This larger home allows K-ceps to bring award-winning collision and EV repair standards to even more drivers across the state.
K-ceps is run by many of the most vetted people within the collision industry.
Owner of K-ceps Service & Auto Body centers, Ray (or Raymond) Speck built K-ceps from the ground up and continues to be intertwined within the business to this day.
