Bill Eveland co-founded Eveland Bros. Collision in Merriam, Kan., in 1978 and built it into one of the largest independently owned collision repair facilities in the country. He was an original member of the Society of Collision Repair Specialists, chaired it in 1995 and 1996 and served on the Mitchell International board. The shop held I-CAR Gold Class status continuously from 1993, twice won the NACE National Collision Repair Business of the Year award and was a Gold Pin participant in the Collision Industry Conference. In 2022, I-CAR presented it the Russ Verona Memorial Award, which Eveland accepted at the SEMA Show. Quality Collision Group acquired the business in March 2025.
