In 2012, The Carlyle Group purchased a majority stake in Service King. Around that time, it expanded into Arizona. Global investment and advisory group Blackstone purchased majority ownership in Service King in July 2014. Service King eclipsed the 200-location milestone by December 2014 by purchasing Seattle-headquartered Kirmac Collision Services to expand its footprint in the Pacific northwest. Service King hit the 300-location mark in August 2016; it also opened a 70,000 square foot center in Milpitas, California around that time.
