Stuck on the side of the interstate with a loaded rollback is never a good day however, there’s a saying that you find out who your real friends are in times of need, and that statement is true, even in business.

Over the past seven years, our business relationship with ATC has grown into something much more than that. The team at ATC has become like family to us, and that support has always extended beyond the personal side and into the professional side of our relationship as well.

True friendship, supporting one another’s small businesses, and genuinely wanting each other to succeed is something that doesn’t come around often. Through the years, we’ve celebrated wins together, worked through challenges together, and continued to stand behind one another when it mattered most.

Thank you for stepping up and helping us today. Your support made a significant difference, and without it, we would have been in a much more difficult position.

We are incredibly grateful for the friendship, partnership, and support you’ve shown us over the past seven years. It does not go unnoticed, and we look forward to many more years of success together.

Big thank you to for hosting a great day at Texas Star!

Team Lauren Kimbrell, John Kimbrell, Will Erin Collie, Josh Hartley managed to place 3rd overall, which honestly surprised at least half the team 😂⛳️

Special shoutout to Will and Lauren for both getting Closest to the Pin! Lauren’s shot was officially recorded and while she’s never claimed to be a golfer, that shot may have been just a little lucky with some help from the sand bunker lol.

Great course, great people, and a great time all around. We appreciate DRN putting together such a fun event!

Built it. Branded it. Protected it.

Our company name.
Our logo.
But most importantly… our acronym: ACR.

If you know us, you know ACR has never just been letters on a truck or a logo on a shirt. It means something deeper. It represents our why.

ACR came from our kids, Avery, Cooper, and Rayna.
And Avery? She didn’t suggest it, she claimed it. She was set on ACR being hers. To the point where, if we didn’t use it, she was ready to start her own repo company with that name.

That stuck with us.

Because what started as a child’s idea turned into something real. Something strong. Something that has done nothing but grow, evolve, and flourish.

So yes, we trademarked it.
Not just to protect a business, but to protect the meaning behind it.

ACR is more than a brand.
It’s family.
It’s legacy.
It’s a reminder of why we started and who we’re building it for.

And this is something we will always fight for.
Protect it.
Stand behind it.
And carry it forward the right way.

Because ACR isn’t going anywhere.

Another great day spent with our partners at Manheim Nashville!

Huge thank you for hosting such a fun and well put together Carrier Appreciation event. Brittany Nichole Pendergrast (Transport Manager), Anthony Blackwell (rollback driver), and Lauren Kimbrell(VP) had a great time representing ACR.

Good food, good music, great conversations and of course, a little friendly competition (shoutout to the girls for taking the co****le win 😉).

We don’t take these moments for granted. Strong partnerships are built beyond the day-to-day, and we’re grateful to be part of it. Looking forward to what’s ahead!

We jumped on the AI caricature NARS poster trend this year and had a little fun with it.

The Advanced Collateral Recovery crew heading to NARS 2026:
John Kimbrell, President
Lauren Kimbrell, Vice President
Will Erin Collie, Director of Operations
Avery Kimbrell, Boss in Training

This year is a special one for us.

When we made the decision to change our company name, it was inspired by Avery. She wanted a repossession company named after her and her siblings one day… a company she could grow into and eventually operate. That moment stuck with me.

During this year, Avery will turn 13. That’s a milestone birthday I wasn’t willing to miss. But as leaders in this industry, missing NARS wasn’t an option either.

So we decided to do both.

We’re bringing Avery along to Orlando so she can experience a real work conference, see the day-to-day of what we do, and most importantly, witness the relationships that are built in this industry. And at the same time, we’ll get to celebrate her birthday in Florida.

This will also be William’s first NARS and his first large conference, which makes it even more exciting.

We’re looking forward to introducing them to our clients, colleagues, and friends.

Be sure to welcome them this year.

Safe travels to everyone and we’ll see you in Orlando.

Today we hosted our annual anniversary celebration, and this year we did things a little differently. It turned out to be the best one yet.

At ACR, we truly value family. We believe in working hard, but also making time to enjoy what you have built with the people who matter most. It is important to us that our team is able to enjoy both their time and their success, not just chase it.

This year we hosted our first Family Fun Day as part of our anniversary celebration. The day was centered around our employees, their families, and their kids. We had a bounce house, cotton candy, music, giveaways, and time set aside to celebrate our team.

With a crawfish theme, we had plenty of food and good company all around.

It was also an honor to have one of our clients join us for the day, along with our banker. Being able to have them there, meet our team, and see the people behind the work meant a lot to us.

We ate, we celebrated, we laughed, we made memories.

As part of the celebration, we recognized our team with the following awards:

Leadership Award
Emerging Leader
Intel Excellence
Top Data Producer
Top Recoveries
Rising Star
Iron Mile
Legacy Award

Days like today are a reminder of what truly matters. A strong team, supportive families, and a company built on both. We are grateful for every person who is part of ACR and proud of what we continue to build together.

Even as owners, the training never stops.

This week we’ve been attending the Locksmith Pro Academy to continue strengthening our Key Department and make sure we’re staying on top of the most current processes, equipment, and techniques in the industry.

Our goal is simple. Bring that knowledge back to our team so our staff has the best training possible and our clients receive the highest level of service.

In this industry you either keep learning or you fall behind. At Advanced Collateral Recovery we choose to keep learning, keep improving, and keep raising the standard.

🎂🎈Happy Birthday, Tony! 🎈🎂

Tony runs our Transport Department and keeps everything moving the way it should. If a vehicle needs to be relocated, delivered, or handled the right way, he’s the one making it happen. He takes a lot of pride in what he does and it shows.

We appreciate your consistency, your work ethic, and the way you represent ACR every day. The Transport side of this business is no small task, and you handle it with professionalism.

Hope you have a great birthday today, Tony. You’ve earned it.

— Team ACR
